This probably explains why my printer ink cartridge (from HP) failed. I have membership in HP's "Instant Ink" program where they'll automatically ship you "new" cartridges when the printer detects you will be needing a new one soon.

Ink cartridge are hell in tiny packages. Retail stores sell printers for which they don't have the cartridges and more often than not a full set costs about as much as the printer.
My future policy will be buyingo only 20$ printers and trying to refill their cartridges with cheap ink - if they fail just trash that and buy the next one. Cheaper on the long run if one does not print in large amounts.

Even without trying is still cheaper

Yes, it is even without trying to refill them - but then 3€ for a liter of black ink may be worth the cost for a while.

Depends.. Usually the cartridges sold with the printer contain an absolutely minimal amount of ink
I suppose you don't want to buy a new printer each time you print like 5 pages.

When you're installing your app and its dependencies BUT NOT .NET Core itself, you're dependent on .NET Core already being on the target machine. That's fine for Web Apps or systems with lots of apps, but what if I want to write an app and give it to you as zip or on a USB key and and I just want it to work. I'll include .NET Core as well so the whole thing is a Self Contained Deployment. Applications without DLLs? That's just crazy talk

Is your iPhone hissing? Some are reporting that the iPhone 7 is doing just that when it’s pushed to the limits of its processing power. "Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?"
I'm sure it's just a new Apple innovation.

I believe Snakes and Apples have been associated since at least Genesis.

The internet was designed to be a massive, decentralized system that nobody controlled, but it is increasingly controlled by a select few tech companies, including Google, Facebook, Apple and Amazon, and they are continuing to consolidate power, said the CEO of a cybersecurity company. Even worse, it's not under *my* control

I hope not to see the day when it is needed to switch it off.
Although... not sure it it could even be a good idea to let everything crash and start over again with a better design avoiding the errors that have been done.

We were just thinking the same yesterday. With Windows OS. Maybe Microsoft could just delete all windows installations and then go into dev-mode for 5 years. Then when theyre properly done, they could come back out and give it away and it wouldn't be tied down by all that old stuff.

Remix OS is basically a desktop version of Android, with floating windows and a start menu-style app drawer. So, it makes sense that creators Jide would make it as easy to use on a desktop. So you can deal with those Angry Birds on your desktop

Well it did look like the bovine was eating grass on land that did not belong to the owner, so to protect the owner, blurred the face. Now that other bovine is in trouble. We know that police do follow up on crimes in photos that are posted.

Isn't that the same cow that appeared in The Lounge yesterday[^]?
