[Everyone hated that]

But seriously, we should just start a "non shitty printer company" that just makes.. non shitty printers

A few have tried…

Kodak did this a few years but the big printer companies slashed prices in the printers to next to nothing. Kodaks $200 printer with cheap ink, huge cartridges, and no chips didn’t sell well when Canon would have a similar printer (scan, print, etc) for $49 next to it. Consumers are dumb.

Brother’s eco tank is close… but if they are killing that off in the name of ink selling greed as this meme suggests…

I had a Kodak printer. The first reload I put in it was off brand and it proceeded to immediately brick itself. Refused to recognize any cartridges even the originals.

Also EcoTank is Epson, super duper recommend. I use to sell printers and I would only sell Brother and Epson.

If you've got any questions about them I still have my Epson contact in my phone

But then we can't make all the money. Won't some one think of the shareholders for once

Damn I forgot about that. Shareholders > Customers

The thing with printers is that they are very hard to get right. Its not like some startup can just make a printer that printer with the same speed and quality as some of the big brands.

With that being said I still would back any startup that tries

Star Wars Memes

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

==========

Other universes to visit:

!lotrmemes@midwest.social

!tenforward@lemmy.world

Separatist systems:

!prequelmemes@lemmy.world

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

!star_wars@lemmy.world

!starwars@lemmy.ml

!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

IMPORTANT

Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.

The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:

  1. This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!

  4. Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.

  5. Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).

  6. Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.
