I work in I.T. and am interested in every sub-field. I also study English, Spanish, German, French, Koine Greek, Latin, Mandarin & Swahili. I’m interested in human culture.

I like Linux, but mainly use Windows because of work.

  • I’m copying my comment from an earlier thread on the same subject.

    Tl:Dr If you want to be less hated, make a good product.

    I was asked to set up an HP printer earlier this week. It was connected by a USB cable. It stopped printing after a few pages.

    HP wants the end user to download their app to use the printer. The printer also has to be set up using an Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection. I’d already tried to connect it to Wi-Fi using the button on the printer, but it just said “Er” & blinked some other lights. The HP website specifically says that the printer cannot be used with just a USB cable.

    I was confident I could have got it to connect to Wi-Fi and downloaded the app, but it was too much of a problem just to be able to print.

    I had a Brother printer moved into its place. There haven’t been any other printing issues.







  • Unless the animals have developed a way to move for miles every day, there should be predators who are adjusted for the night side, and predators who are adjusted for the day side that would be well known and defended against from the prey on their side. For a sentient species, figuring out how to defend against one or the other shouldn’t be too hard.

    What would be harder to defend against would be those predators who live in the twilight areas are close to both day & night.
