CS people hate the printer
…and a lot of them hate the end-user, too. Why must we involve people in the whole computer thing? Isn’t an abacus and a box of crayons enough?
Bold of you to assume the end user can handle crayons
collapsed inline media
PC load letter? What the fuck does that mean??
No idea, but we treat them all the same. 230vAC to the USB port.
Try this and the result may shock you!
Doctors hate it!
500years of printing and this is the best we got... Smh
~~CS~~ IT but yeah. I work in a company with people with masters in CS from Ivy League schools and they don’t understand the first thing about how hardware or their OS works. Common misconception
…which, in and of itself, is sad as hell because one of the course requirements (at least when I was working on my CS degree) was Operating System Concepts & Design.
I work in a print shop and i also hate the printer.
Fuck you Xante. I hate you so much
Well that is accurate...
HP printers in particular.
Weirdly, i don't hate HP printers (at least, the FutureSmart ones). Xerox can fuck right off with all those restarts just to change fucking settings though
People who have worked with printers know that HP is bad but Xerox is worse.
It's a matter of Consumer vs Corporate
In the consumer space, HP is the worst. In the corporate world, Xerox is the worst (iirc Xerox doesn't even make consumer grade printers)
Xerox is a bad copy of themselves from decades prior.
