I made this joke to people who work for AMD. I was a bit shocked that it hadn’t occurred to them :D

I have a bunch of driver bits for these, but never knew what they were called.

I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a matching screw in the wild though.

Funny how if you don’t cram 10,000 chickens into tiny cages all stacked on top of one another…

My general advice to people when shopping for used printers is if it’s new enough to have a colour LCD, it’s too new. Ones like this with a 2x 16 character display are predominantly safe.

This rule holds for more manufacturers than you might expect.

For my sins, I did end up with an HP. But it’s a 2012 model (my specific one was built in 2017 however), well predating HP’s bullshit. It’s a colour A3 laser with Ethernet and automatic duplex, so I’m happy enough with it.

Hey! I’ve seen this story before!

This wasn’t the kind of life-imitating-art I was hoping for.
