I test printed once from Mint, but couldn't daily-drive linux due to other software I need to work not working after a mint version upgrade.

I bought a Brother about a year ago. I hadn't owned a printer in about 12-15 years. In Japan, one can generally just print things at the convenience store (after uploading (app, browser, etc.) or via USB stick), but I moved to the middle of nowhere and got tired of going back and forth. I also needed to print things like business cards which the cobini printers won't do.

Some of them (the Finnish ones I saw) just had the bottom being the rack, basically, so at least that had dripping and airflow. Having an actual board below it would be a terrible idea, I think, heh.

I've always wanted the version built into a cabinet, but I live in a high-humdity area and that just screams of mold issues. Why not the version as pictured in the open? Earthquakes. Still, definitely at the point in my life that it's awesome at least in theory

Imagine being forced to spend 20% of your income on a depreciating asset

FuckJapaneseHomes apparently also needs to be a community.

First you tell me not to listen to ghosts and spirits of the dead, now you're telling me this one had valid warnings. Which is it?!

My appendix tried to kill me (a xennial) and was removed as a result (and thus it shouldn't be able to give me cancer anymore).

Already had my first cancer scare in my mid-40s, so you are most definitely correct (turned out to be fine this time).

Mine tried to kill me as a teenager so I at least don't have this to worry about (probably. Maybe.)

Hen denies pep rallies aren't "partial and little success without huge absence"

(or something like that)

Edit: probably should have used xor in place of and

I wish AMD had something like CUDA that my video rendering software used so I could stop using nvidia.

I'm on a 2080 or 2090 (I forget which). I thought I'd upgrade to the 40xx now that 5090s are out. I looked at the prices and absolutely not. The 5090s are around 500k JPY, and ordering from the US would work out to about the same with exchange, tax, and any possible tariff that exists this week. Salaries here are also much lower than in the west as well on average even for those of us in software.

4070s are still around 100k which is cheaper than last time I looked at 250k ish.

Price aggregator site in Japan if you want to play around: https://kakaku.com/pc/videocard/itemlist.aspx?pdf_Spec103=500 On the left, you'll see the cards to select and the prices are obvious on the screen.
