samsung’s printer business was acquiredextinguished by the devilhp in 2017

if you’ve not ever updated the firmware of the printer, it might just be a faulty third-party cartridge. try another.

if the one you’re having difficulty with was a recent purchase, ask the vendor for a swap. the good ones will happily send another.

so this is how the russo-sino-yankee union begins.

yea but you want it to ‘fall’ where you want it to.

the u.s. could join, as recognizing the crown as head-of-state is not a requisite for membership and has not been for decades.

the day the diaper in chief of the united states accepts the harare declaration (incorporated as part of the current charter) is the day scientists prove that rainbows are made from flying poptarts with cat heads.

there are 56 members of the commonwealth of nations. of those, only 15 are commonwealth realms. the rest are republics or a different monarchy.

india was the first republic member when they transitioned from dominion (with british monarch as head of state) to a republic in 1950.

commonwealth members need only recognize king charles as the ‘head of the commonwealth’, which is a purely ceremonial position.

süd operates as aldi in the u.s. nord bought trader joes in '79. their target markets are a little different with aldi being more mainstream including smaller cities; while trader joes tends to stay in higher-income neighborhoods of metro areas and larger cities.

they were probably his only ‘friends’.

six months from now must be when donvict is gonna pull all support for nato, europe, and ukraine–and when russia throws everything at kyiv…

drivesavers, gillware, and ontrack. those are the ones i refer people to. expect a cost of $700-1000 or higher.

if it’s anything like our guaranteed ‘price for life’ internet from the phone company here–it lasts as long as they want it to.

(which, for our internet, was less than two years)

tenfold? imagine if an adversary had free and unfettered access to every network those morons have touched…

oh. right. the adversary is already there.

a two-minute scan of products for sale on amazon will tell you that society is to the point of mashing keyboards to string letters together to come up with company names. this at least has consonants and vowels arranged in an order that resembles a word.

trying to sell the higher ‘resale’ or ‘trade in’ value of the phone… like a five-year-old 64gb se has a trade in ‘value’ at bby that’s 10x higher than that of a lower-mid android of the same age and storage. that’s 40-50usd vs 3-5usd (the phone that can’t even ‘pay for lunch’). but forgetting completely that you pay several hundred more for the handset to get that ‘extra’ 40 bucks five years later.

democrats are simply the ‘lesser evil’, and have been since the 1960s, at least… and we’ve needed a viable third party left of the mainstream for longer.

republican administrations drag us down and undo gains made. democrats repair some of the damage–but never quite enough, never push progress enough. they lose. it gets undone again and the cycle repeats.

but now it’s all getting destroyed. there may not be a continuation of the cycle. it’s hell from here on until ‘trumpism’ and maga are what is completely destroyed.

adequate? perhaps. for most users. but a higher-latency geosync based service is not a true apples-to-apples comparison to the low orbit minisats of starlink.

usagm is an independent agency. it and its predecessors, and voa, were created by congress. only congress can eliminate them

kwik trip’s self-serve ‘fresh blends’ smoothie machines use it. see one crashed every now and then here.

just a lame-ass excuse for not finding whatever evidence they were looking for.

elsewhere, some seeding was done.

now they’ll do the ‘full’ data grab and ‘find’ what they were looking for.

i find ddg sufficient for nearly everything. occasionally i will go to startpage or ecosia or mojeek for a different ‘perspective’, but that is not very often at all. i also use wolframalpha almost daily for some sort of calculation or conversion.

i haven’t used google or bing except by accident when using someone else’s browser or device (that is, when i forget to go to duck.com first).
