Nice, but I understand that ROCm, the software part is terrible.

Laser printers are so much more economical.

I use Brother black and white laser printer with after market toner cartridges from eBay .

Print around 200 pages a day.

Around 5000 pages for 37 AUD ie around 25 USD.

The paper costs more per page than the toner.

Just make sure you stay away from HP branded printers...


yeah, I have a cheap brother laser printer, I don't print that much, but it's been solid for several years. I did have an HP, but it was incredibly problematic, would jam rather easily. Works fine under linux as well.


Does the ink ever dry? That’s my biggest problem with non-lasers - I print maybe 10-100 pages a year but every time I need to change the toner because it’s too dry. And do you print color or no?


No doesn’t dry up. It’s why I change from inkjet. And yes they print colour too.

They are fine for documents but if you want details photo printing then inkjet I think has an edge, but for most people laser is better choice.


I feel like for photos you are better off getting them done via a print service anyways, they are pretty cheap and have much better hardware


Or get a good old LaserJet 4050 used somewhere. Indestructible workhorse.

Meeting Bourbaki would have been quite a feat!

Good, fast, easy for novices.

Choose two.

I use nvim and emacs.


Nvim is good but requires set up which now I delegate to Claude

Emacs feels too slow and not good if you have carpel tunnel syndrome


I am speechless...


Sacrilege.

Do Google have no taste or sense?

Great way to cause massive brand damage.

Human barbarism is not new...

"The placard recorded that the Nooksack tree produced 96,345 board feet (227.348 cubic meters) of the "finest quality" lumber.

The New York Times regarded the tree in a March 7, 1897 issue as the "most magnificent fir tree ever beheld by human eyes" and called its destruction a "truly pitiable tale" and a "crime".

The Morning Times of February 28, 1897 claimed that the wood, sawed into one-inch strips, would reach from "Whatcom [the tree's location] to China"."


>Human barbarism is not new...

to be fair, without humans there would be nobody to declare "barbarism". At one time, all humans were barbarians, it took a certain level of cultural development before the word "barbarism" was necessary, so at that point it was "new". It remains be be shown whether cultures that call other cultures "barbaric" are actually "better".


Yeah man if a barbarian fells a tree in the forest but nobody is around to hear it, is it still barbaric?


Barbarism was just the ethnic slang Greeks had for non Greeks that Romans then adopted for non Romans. But cultures playing “I’m the best” is not new nor did it require cultural development; othering is a natural part of game theory to make sure your tribe has tighter cohesion against intruders.


Yeah, they were called barbarians because they talked funny. Bar bar barbar bar, they went.



...and if you aren't pronouncing it "Var" you might be one ;-)


This is such a useless comment. What even is your point?


Completely wrong.

This is yet another absurd AI generated slopticle.

We will have a generation of AI fed morons.
