I’ve had issues with printers and printer drivers until I got a brother laser printer. It seems to just work all the time.

18107@aussie.zonetoMental Health@lemmy.world•What's something that some said that really helped you?English
4·13 days agoThat perfect picture from your Facebook friend showing their children smiling and happy on Christmas day was preceded by 2 hours of yelling and telling the kids “shut up and smile for the picture or you won’t get to open any presents”.
Sometimes a quiet Christmas with unruly children is actually better than the “perfect” Christmas your friends seem yo be having.
I did not say that, and I did not imply it either. I was telling you what you can do to improve your interactions with this community and it’s mods.
I was given moderator privileges a few hours ago. I have not yet seen those comments, and had nothing to do with them.
I suggest taking some time away from this to clear your head before making further comments. It’s hard to argue in good faith while angry.
I’m always happy to listen to feedback, and change my behaviour when I’m wrong.
I will not be removing comments just because they have been reported, or just because I disagree with them. I will only be removing comments that explicitly break the rules as listed on the sidebar. You are welcome to report any comment you believe should be removed. There is no penalty for incorrectly reporting something if it is done in good faith (i.e. don’t report everything just because I said no penalty).
While not explicitly against rule 1 (Be nice), I believe “zionist rats” could have been phrased as “zionists” or “zionist people” while still making the same point.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is US rail travel so expensive?English
16·26 days agoCar travel is massively subsidised. The road maintenance, emergency services, new road construction, traffic light electricity, smart highway monitoring, snow ploughing and more are subsidised for roads.
Many railways are privately owned, so all costs are paid by the owner or anyone who uses it. If railways had similar subsidies to roads they would be far cheaper.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If someone opened a store and just sold stuff at cost, which undercuts every other competitors by alot. Would this not for the big corps to come way down on their prices?English
21·1 month agoIn Australia, Woolworths got reprimanded for selling fuel at a loss. They had a deal where you could buy groceries to earn points which could get you cheaper fuel at their fuel stations. Other companies couldn’t compete, and Woolworths was only able to sustain it because the extra profit they made from selling groceries covered the loss on the fuel.
Many companies have done similar. Uber operated at a loss for years to force taxi companies into bankruptcy, then put their prices up to higher than the taxis had been after the competition was gone.
Comcast had very cheap internet prices in any area where Google was offering Google Fibre, but exceedingly high prices (and worse service) in areas with no competition. Google couldn’t compete on price because Comcast could afford to operate at a loss in a few areas, and Google couldn’t afford to start offering internet across the entire country during it’s startup phase.It could be done, but big businesses don’t play fairly. They have lots of money to spend on driving you our of business, and lots of future profits as incentive to do so.

Following the law does not guarantee you’re doing the right thing.

281·1 month agoThe square app will not run on a phone that has developer mode enabled. I turned developer mode on to disable annoying animations, so now I can’t take card payments unless I carry around a second phone.
If Google goes through with this, my payment phone won’t be able to run any third party apps.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google Fiber will be sold to private equity firm and merge with cable companyEnglish
30·2 months agoAustralia almost did this right with the National Broadband Network.
Unfortunately, it was then sabotaged by the government after an election changed the majority party.
It seems to be back on track after wasting an extraordinary amount of time and money by installing copper lines, just to completely replace them with the fiber lines that were in the original plan.
I miss the comfort of having a single OS (not multiple distros to choose from), and a father who would reinstall the OS when I broke it too much again.
I miss the Macromedia Flash games, bringing games to school on a floppy disk labeled “homework” (then discovering I’d only brought the shortcut).All of this is just nostalgia, and while I miss it, I’m happier now with my Linux Distro.
I’ve customised the desktop environment, broken the OS and reinstalled it myself (several times), and copied games to another device while forgetting to copy the folder containing my save files.
I guess some things stay the same.


I had issues with my 2 ASUS RT-AX53U routers. Devices dripping off the network and randomly slow internet. Replacing the firmware with OpenWRT fixed all of the issues, and I’m still using them.
OpenWRT (on these routers) does support mesh networks. I only have experience with these, so I can’t make any informed recommendations.
