Just think, once we all die off, no more printers.
The responsibility of knowing how to use a printer skips a generation, much like male pattern baldness.
TIL my grandpa made me color blind and balding, that dead sonofabitch
So, I'm reading two false claims, and I've got a long line of highly proficient bald family members to prove it
That's actually two separate lines of male pattern baldness and two separate lines of printer proficiency alternating between each other.
I'll believe it when I see it.
The 3d printers are so cool though.
Sorry, no printers.
But I was so close to perfecting my 4d printer.
Thermodynamics says no.
It was just a Kickstarter grift that spritzed you with water and played the Back To The Future theme as it printed, anyway.
Hopefully finally only one.single.protocol to simply move pdf to printer?
That's been invented in the eighties, it's called PostScript, which is a precursor to PDF. You sent a PostScript file to the printer, and the printer evaluated PostScript and printed the result. Except, with the spread of home printers, processing was moved into the drivers to eliminate costly electronics from printers.
But postscript is the document description, not the transport. And pdf now, because base pdf is simpler & more secure than postscript.
There are about a dotzen transport protocols in a printers settings.
We may just start charging for this ultra-specialized skill
