Brother laser printers are about the only remaining option that isn’t full of spyware and designed simply as a cash cow for ink sales. Toner doesn’t dry up or go bad if you don’t use it a lot as long as it’s not exposed to extreme temperatures, moisture, etc. And Brother printers don’t have DRM on their toner cartridges or a requirement to be online to verify you’re using approved ink/toner yet before youre allowed to print or a licensing model rather than ownership like some.

But they want backdoors in the encryption…because it’s too much work to go through proper channels to get data for themselves. Can’t have it both ways. If LE is going to have access then hackers are going to have access through the same means. Whether it’s companies that give LE a backdoor into their systems or the encryption itself has a backdoor, the weakest link is the only relevant measure of security.

It’s the stupid toxic “romance” that I want rid of. It gets so boring and tedious to watch. If it’s important to the story, then fine.
