Thanks, I'll bear this solution in mind if my printer outlives the driver support.

If you're a light user, best to have a much stronger preference for laser printer. Inkjets use up that expensive ink to clean the nozzles between uses if you're lucky, and will fully clog if you're unlucky (I was unlucky twice and never again). I'm a light user and a laser printer can go for ages between printing.

If it's got copying, it'll have a scanner anyway.

I've got an HP that has served me well and my HP cartridges have lasted ages - not because they're great or cheap, but because I print so little. At the time, I choose HP because it was more compact. Next time, I'll definitely lean towards Brother laser on principle.

Hey @turnerpike20@lemmy.ml OP, I saw this on Reddit and thought of you:

That I was more addicted to the breaks and deep breathing than I was to the nicotine.

...

Yes! Because what do you do when you smoke? You go outside and take intentional deep breaths and it relaxes you. So, I kept my full routine of breaks when I needed, went outside and took intentional deep breaths. Just this time without a cigarette. Quitting was SO EASY this time and zero cravings. Because it turns out, she was right.

I need to replace a set of expired smoke detector at my elderly parents' house. They're too old to have alarms going off in the middle of the night just because the wind blows.

Yet, Amazon only seem to sell ones with photo-electric sensors, and many reviews complain about over-sensitivity with dust, and under-sensitivity when the room is clearly full of smoke.

Additionally, the ones with sealed 10 year batteries - many reviews report a battery life of 2 years or so in practice, with increased false positives as battery life runs down. So now, they have to replace whole units rather than just batteries.

What happened to good old ionizing smoke detectors with 9v batteries that needed replacing every 2 years or so?!

In the UK, the ads for these patches also say "requires willpower". From what you've written, it sounds like that's the part of the process you need to find in you. Good luck!

I was with Three for years. It started off great, but the data throughput got worse and worse, and the prices went up every year.

I wanted EE without paying for EE, and I'm now with 1p Mobile for about a year and it's been perfect.

I've read that the only way to get 'actual' EE is to sign up for an EE contract then hope that you can beat them down on a retention deal when you're out of contract.

Trying to work out why this is a good idea. Please could you explain why?

I understand social security to mean paying into a state pension, a national healthcare service, and provision of education.

What does social security mean in the American context?

 

Hi, Lemmy is even better with Boost, thank you!

In the internal browser, is it possible to add an option for reader view?

This will make it easier to read some articles that render too poorly or busily. (I know it's the website's fault, not Boost's - but still, reader view improves things!)
