  • I'm with the others recommending Brother. They aren't perfect, but they're the least bad.

    Running about a 10 year old MFC 9349 CDW here, only changed the black toner so far. Used a cartridge reset truck I found on YouTube to get more life out of the original black before that.

    Scans to network nicely, does 2 sided prints etc.

    Go for a Brother.

  • I don't think planned obsolescence has a time line.

    It's more to do with the manufacturer making a decision to pull support.

    Windows 11 is pulling the same stunt.

    Linux distros however have no such problem.

    Apple should have more than just an arbitrary reason to drop support.

  • All of this skills the point. This is a second drive that failed, it was the replacement for an earlier drive that failed.

    That's what the article is all about.

    A high, unexpected and unreasonable failure rate.

  • My pending or existing projects.

    A software defined radio server. Lives up top of an antenna mast running off PoE with an RTL tuner connected.

    ADSB receiver, similar to above, but on a fixed frequency.

    The above 2 could be virtualised in theory, but there is an advantage in having the cable to the antenna short and thus the sbcs live up antenna masts in an enclosure.

    MMDVM hotspot for ham radio (this might not count as it HAS TO use the gpio pins on the pi, this can't be visualised even with a USB port passed through.

    As an audio server that would bitstream 24bit/96kHz to an amp.
