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.
Also, on the “standard with ads” tier, they’ve removed the ability to chromecast.

I asked about a plot point that I didn’t understand in a TV series old enough to be in an LLM’s knowledge. Chatgpt and Perplexity both said they couldn’t find any discussions or explanations online for my particular question.
Bard/Gemini gave several explanations, all of them featuring characters, locations, and situations from the show, but confidently bullshit and definitely impossible in the story’s world.
Yep, same here. Whereas ChatGPT and Perplexity would tell me it didn’t know the answer to my question, Bard/Gemini would confidently hallucinate some bullshit.
Yes, I should’ve added - whether the write speed matters depends on your own use case.
For my SMR drive, it’s taking roughly 2GB of backup files every few hours, in the background, and there’s plenty of empty space on the drive. In my case, it doesn’t matter at all.
However, if you’re sat at your computer, frequently transferring large files while the drive is at least half full, and you have to wait for completion… Then it’ll matter.
From the article:
UPDATE 5/17, 6 PM: Western Digital has confirmed that the new 2.5-inch T GB HDDs uses 6 SMR platters
SMR = shingled magnetic recording https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shingled_magnetic_recording - “continuous writing of large amount of data is noticeably slower than with CMR drives”
Libre Cloud’s head office is a unit on an industrial estate: 82A James Carter Rd, https://maps.app.goo.gl/nu75EEHEDFbY5PMW9 (Update: it’s a virtual office address, which doesn’t really inspire confidence for me)
They probably colocate at data centres.
Personally, I’m on Hetzner’s Storage Share (Nextcloud but without Collabora), and I’d prefer to trust my data to them: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share/
Regardless of your choice, I definitely agree that nextcloud rocks.
Not French, I don’t understand a word of what they’re saying, but man, I love that album. Especially “Demain, c’est loin”, an epic tune that gives me Wu Tang “Triumph” vibes.

Trying to work out why this is a good idea. Please could you explain why?
Pi-hole (or my preference Adguard Home) is great for devices connected to your home network. For your phone, go with Blokada (free) or Adguard (iOS, Android, paid - see Stacksocial for occasional license deals) - that’ll cover you at home and out of home.
Everyone gets 100% in homework, but just wait until the exams.
Why not stay with your existing hosts? Does the latency make that much difference for your use?
