He has a point. It's ironic that the only piece of "evidence" most religions have is a book written by humans.

Any belief in the sun/moon/stars/whatever.... At least you can point and say, there it is.

But Christianity is normal and not crazy at all, and believing in Ra is the crazy thing.... Sure. Yeah.

I think it's all nuts. But whatever.

Personally, my trust in any specific individual is entirely based on that individual, regardless of their nationality or any other factor.... Because I'm not bigoted like that.

However, my trust in the American government and my willingness to use American brands has been permanently altered.

Given how much surveillance most major tech companies do on their users, I'm just about ready to break out the tin foil. Shit is getting wild.

Yeah, talk about putting the cart before the horse.

Strange way to bring up that particular atrocity.

Doesn't seem to have any bearing on the subject matter of the OP, or the commenter you're replying to.

Weird.

Yeah. Closest we come to something like that is either scan to email (directly from the printer) or scan to (network) folder. I've used both in the past, but both require a network connection.

If they had a network connection to the printer then the user would have direct access to it, and they wouldn't need a computer to act as a print server.

Hilariously, in that case, the printer has Ethernet, so it's entirely possible to do what they want. They just need to find a way to plug the printer into Ethernet. I explained this to them, they basically said that there was no way they could do that. Sure. Ok.

After careful consideration, I think their intent was to say....

You can come back anytime and if you do, you can always cancel at anytime.

.... More or Less. Basically saying you can join and cancel at your leisure.

That's a terrible way to say it, but ok.

Of course not. This article was written using vibes.

It's vibe reporting.

"come back and cancel anytime"

What the fuck is that wording?

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 months ago

Oh fuck yes I would.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

This is the way.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 months ago

Nope, just thoughts and prayers.

I wouldn't say immune, I just have a low tolerance for unfounded claims, and little interest in most of the impulse purchase junk that most ads are trying to sell.

Give me an ad for good tech at good prices (and actually list the fkin price), and I'm interested.

Like OP said, if there's no price, just a "call to get a quote" or some other similar nonsense in place of a price, then I'm either not buying that product, or I'm buying it somewhere else that they list the damn cost.

"Call to inquire" can be adequately translated to: we want to sell this shit to your entire company, call us so we can convince you to do just that" meanwhile you want to buy one so you can check it out to see if it's even useful because marketing claims are almost always bullshit.
