I’ll bet one of the exceptions is having a bunch of money.

That’s true. Let the largest BGP routers go down for 5 minutes and any demands the people who run them have would be met.

Ah, OK. Thank you! I hadn’t thought of that.

This isn’t even A.I., no matter what they call it. It’s OCR and an SQLite database. Honestly, they could have done it 25 years ago .

I was in the 90% range. I tried to find the sun and couldn’t, although someone who was a few miles away said they saw part of it.

I opened the link just to make sure. Yes, that is the entire “article”. There are 3 links below it to pay them.

I’m not too surprised at having to use HP software to set it up. The one I was assigned to set up wanted an HP app that requires an account. I’m pretty sure it would also need to be continuously connected to the Internet in order to print. That is utterly ridiculous!

I’m copying my comment from an earlier thread on the same subject.

Tl:Dr If you want to be less hated, make a good product.

I was asked to set up an HP printer earlier this week. It was connected by a USB cable. It stopped printing after a few pages.

HP wants the end user to download their app to use the printer. The printer also has to be set up using an Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection. I’d already tried to connect it to Wi-Fi using the button on the printer, but it just said “Er” & blinked some other lights. The HP website specifically says that the printer cannot be used with just a USB cable.

I was confident I could have got it to connect to Wi-Fi and downloaded the app, but it was too much of a problem just to be able to print.

I had a Brother printer moved into its place. There haven’t been any other printing issues.

That sounds more like Gentoo. With Arch, you at least get the foundation with plumbing and electrical run to the site.
