    Here we go again… The massive group discussion about printers and I’m like, “Who the fuck uses printers post-2014?!”

    Always twists my brain so hard. I see none of you in the wild; you’re like rare Pokemon. But dangle a morsel of printer discourse and suddenly half the internet is printer bros .

    It’s so perplexing. It’s one of the universes many strange phenomena.

      I still do print things like job applications, train tickets (I refuse to use most phone apps, thanks for the spying), recovery keys, important documents i need to proof-read, street plans and so on. I find it far easier to spot typos in high-quality print.

      Some applications could be done with a label printer, but there are many areas where a b/w laser printer is the best option.

        Because other people do have different ways of work, needs and preferences from you?

        Also, there is no general replacement for having a signature on paper for many processes. Using emails without strong signatures is just going to cause significant problems.
