That’s so true. Well before the 20s is up I’m already making edits to the code to preempt the imminent runtime error then recompile and continue the cycle…

I had this setup but during a reinstall/update Windows still destroyed Grub. You have been warned!

Hey that’s really helpful, thanks for sharing! Brother toner is about 3x more expensive for me.

I have HL- version of same model. Doesn’t have exactly the same toner options as in the link, but I’ve spotted a ‘Reset’ button hidden up the ‘Toner->Calibrate’ menu. Strongly suspect that’ll do the job!

The chip transfer thing has caused me issues in the past though, with the printer refusing to accept the toner even after switching them.

No luck for me, what is your model out of interest?

Only success I’ve had with using non Brother toner is swapping the small chip at the end of the ‘fake’ cartridge with an old ‘genuine’ one

I don’t know, my Brother printed definitely has DRM/lock-in toner cartridges. And if only one of them gets too low the whole thing stops working. Still can’t get double sided to work reliably

So I call bs on their fandom

She’s focussing deeply on using Windows’ On-screen keyboard

Wow, that’s sad. Yes we are, they really layer on the stuff here, at places where the lorry has to pass multiple times (e.g. a roundabout) you can even get ‘salt dune’ deposits from it building up. Wrecks the drivetrain on my bicycle - inevitably have to replace components once winter is over.

Fantastic, may bring a tape measure on the next commute

Very good points!

Hadn’t considered that, grit lorries must fling a lot at the base with each pass.

Agreed. So quality of British manufacturing and workmanship. Now someone has to pay to have them all replaced.

Yes, all weakened and then blown over in a recent storm. Corrosion from sea-salt in the air maybe? There are tens of them about, which does not seem normal

I expect that I 1. underestimate the forces of nature and 2. overestimate the quality of British manufacturing

Ha it’s a shared bin (which I just realised makes the delivery even more risky).

Standing in the bin and jumping up and down is a good strategy to compact at a later date. Otherwise, the hydraulic press of the bin lorry can handle it :)

Figure the idea of the name is a network for air/flight transit

Military comms. Sounds like a more evocative use of the word compared to a courier service!

Now, you gotta promise me you’re not gonna kill anyone, right?

Good ideas, thanks!

Not at all, thanks - I’ll be sure to revise the directions to remove any doubt!

I tend to just stand in it and jump up and down if that’s what you mean 😂
