The Most Important Article on why you only need a Brother laser printer has been updated to keep Google happy. And in a wonderful twist of irony, Niley Patel switched from ChatGPT to Google Gemini to add a few thousand characters of AI gibberish to make the Google algorithm consider his timeless answer relevant enough.
So goeth forth and hype the link to make the algorithm and Brother happy. And give your Brother Laser a nice pat on its dusty housing :) https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/2/24117976/best-printer-2024-home-use-office-use-labels-school-homework
In case you haven't noticed —yes. That article is meant to be an ironic take on how bad the influence of search engines is on genuine content. How you can play the system for higher "reach". But it also contains a simple truth: Brother laser printers JustWork and don't need weird drivers or spyware to put toner on paper. I have been advocating for Brother laser printers since many years for exactly that reason :)
@jwildeboer Do you have any thoughts on Brother locking out non-OEM ink? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31860131
