We don’t talk about bubble jet.
“No” is the most accurate I could ever have imagined for Inkjet Printers
What about “angry robot demands ink sacrifice”?
Not to be confused with “No.”
Hey my inkjet with refillable tanks isn’t so bad
HP will brick your shit remotely on these.
Stage 1: Denial
Which one is it? The one I have still has an overflow/nozzle cleaning sponge that bricks the printer when it’s full
Oh yeah that whole thing is fucking stupid but bypassable depending on model
Yeah will see what I can do once it starts complaining
So you need to hack it and violate warranty to make it work? And this is just fine? On a product you paid for?
Is the FPU a reference to the Pentium FDIV bug?? What a throwback.
0.1+0.2
That’s just due to IEEE754 floating point. The CPU would do it the same way if you had a software-based implementation.
0.1 in binary doesn’t have a precise value. It’s recurring, the same way we can’t represent 1/3 (0.333333333…) precisely in decimal.
In other words, “computes numbers incorrectly”.
You don’t have to overthink it on a meme that describes a hard drive as “remembers numbers loudly”.

Where is the tracking device for remembering numbers remotely?
That’s wifi or Bluetooth.
Laserprinters use different colored lasers for multi-color printing.
I know. I was kidding 😛
Needs more jpeg
Inkjet: uses yellow ink to dye paper.
But what if it’s just black text?

The EFF were tracking which printers print the invisible tracking dots, but they gave up because practically all colour inkjet and laser printers do it now. https://www.eff.org/pages/list-printers-which-do-or-do-not-display-tracking-dots
I love my inkjet. It’s so nice to be able to do my own high quality prints for the wall and for friends.
TIL printers are computer components
I thought this was a D&D alignment chart at first… And yes, Inkjet printers are chaotic evil.
I would say it’s pretty accurate across the grid, but I’d swap HDD and ram. HDD is chaotic neutral, because it can turn into a maraca at any moment.
It’s more unreliable than SSD?
absolutely.
I think they’re lawful evil, more devils than demons.

Now do software concepts like Bitcoin, machine learning, and blockchain.
Bitcoin: An excel spreadsheet a bunch of people agree on.
Machine Learning: Electrons in a room banging on typewriters.
Blockchain: A marketing term for linked lists.I think you switched blockchain and bitcoin
Laser printers more accurately “bake paper so that number powder sticks to it”
Fuse number
There are two common types of laser printers. Those that have special paper that react to heat, such as receipt printers, would fit the description.
The other laser printers… Hm, I don’t think your description is accurate either. It’s more that the laser electrically charges ink particles so that they jump on to a separate roller that gets rolled on to the paper.
I’m no expert though.
I am not aware of any receipt printers using lasers - thermal printers have an array of resistors that get hot when necessary. I know how a laser printer works and it is hard to explain in 12 or so words. Inkjets are way easier, you can just say “squirt squirt oops”. Anyway…
- A photosensitive drum gets a negative electrostatic charge.
- A laser shining through a rotating prism scans lines across the drum’s surface. This removes charge from parts of the drum that should not be covered in toner.
- A high-voltage corona wire inside the toner reservoir charges an amount of toner positively.
- The charged drum rotates past the corona wire, getting covered in toner where its negative charge remains.
- Paper is pushed against the drum and the powdery toner is transferred to it.
- The paper continues into a fuser, a little oven where a heating element briefly makes the toner so hot that it melts, its powder particles making a permanent bond among themselves and with the paper. (The heater is usually stationary and heats the paper from below. The fuser drum that pushes paper against the heater can get sticky and pick up some of the toner, making images repeat down the page. This is the most common failure mode that cannot be resolved through regular maintenance such as replacing the toner cartridge and printing cleaning pages. However, almost all laser printers have a cheap fuser module or its drum available so it is usually worth replacing.)
It’s an accurate description of laser printers. The “powder” in the description are small plastic flakes (toner), and the paper is baked so that powder melts into it.
Receipt printers have no additional consumables beyond the paper. The heat itself is all the paper needs.
Wait, seriously? We use plastic for printing documents as well?
Yup, that’s what toner is. Little black plastic flecks. If you break a toner cartridge and get it everywhere, try not to breathe too hard.
I like the chemical paper because I can write on it with a hot stick.
Yeah, it’s fun but the temperature needs to be correct. With rising temperature, the paper goes black, light gray, brown and then glowing orange.
“Watch as I turn this ordinary paper into pure energy!”
