Non rebellious printer
Baby wristlet with heartbeat sensor (this one will make you go proper crazy)
Car that breaks down as soon as you buy it
'cause fuck cars.
BMWs are already pretty mainstream
It's 2023, BMW is upper middle off the pack reliability wise. If you are going to make fun of Germans it's Merc you are looking for.
Yep, Mercedes is NOTHING what it used to be... they put in Peugeot engines in new models 🤦... which is not bad, but at the price these cars sell, excuse me, but I want a Mercedes engine in there.
Interestingly, some hdi Peugeot engines can go on forever
Some... all Merc engines go on forever. You bought a Merc, first 500.000km you're basically warming up the engine. People bought second hand Mercs with 400.000km on them, not a single doubt that it might fail.
More €€€ and we could start talking :)
More €€€ and I'd get a Hummer.
They exist they're called LED Printers, you have to do a bit of searching for them though because they're often mislabeled as Laser Jet. If you go on Amazon for example and look for laserjet printers in the type box right at the bottom they'll tell you if it's really a laser jet or is actually a LED printer. Get an LED printer, Brother makes some good ones.
They are lightning fast even for color printing. They use toner like laser jet (which I guess is where the confusion comes from) but they work in a different way.
How different? They still use light for drum polarization, right?
Yes but LEDs are smaller and more powerful than a laser assembly so the whole process is faster.
In the time it takes to energise the drum with a laser, the LED panel can do all 4 inks.
Cool, that seems like a new take on things 👍.

Fewer parts.
Yeah, thought as much. LEDs are cheaper than lasers, so stack a bunch of them in a line, polarise the drum, bam, you have an image.
Basically, this is the only advantage. And laser heads break very very rarely. You litelarly have to drop the printer from a considerable height in order to break the laser head mechanism.
But, I can see the appeal. Laser heads and mechanisms are more expensive to manufacture.
They have socks that do this. Bluetooth app connection to your phone.
🤘 fuck cars
There's a community for that if you aren't subscribed already.
Those baby ekg socks and bracelets are crazy. My wife bought one and it just made her crazy. And then even the dumb thing moves you get everyone jumping to alerts and beeps and are stuck with a baby who isn't going to sleep anytime soon.
