@s No, all printers suck, no matter how cheap on expensive it is.
Ink tank or laser printers that don't sabotage 3rd party ink or toner generally have lower printing costs than Horrible Products printers.
Note that you must print all colours with an inkjet printer at least once a month, otherwise the print heads will irreversibly clog.
The printer needs to support IPP for it to have a chance of sometimes working.
HP laser toners are generally BW only and put garbage on the page after a few years and HP toner is very expensive. -

@phnt @cnx OpenWatcom is a proprietary license - you don't have freedom unless you are able to choose whether to keep your private modifications private or not. -

@SuperDicq @Asklepian @rosey @Pi_rat Many modifications are impossible without the source code - you can only really make trivial modifications to object code. -

@SuperDicq @Asklepian @rosey @Pi_rat Maybe, but I can still terminate the license, as my terms haven't been followed and a court will well understand that continuing to distribute was intentional copyright infringement. -

@SuperDicq @Asklepian @rosey @Pi_rat The AGPLv3-or-later does not authorize contributory infringement.
Damages can be seeked against both the uploader and the party doing the copyright infringement. -

@SuperDicq @Asklepian @rosey @Pi_rat Nobody will do that again after you hunt down anyone who does that. -

@HatkeshiatorTND The latest crapbook, which is meant to be "budget".
You can put any 2.5 size SATA SSD in and it'll work - even a 4TB one, as there are no arbitrary size limitations.
You can also install a NVMe SSD via an expresscard or a mPCIe adaptor, but it seems a SATA Link is faster than a 1x PCIe 1.0(?) link.
Most ThinkPads come with 3 USB ports, but the X200{t,s,} dock adds another 4 usb ports. -

@SuperDicq @Asklepian @rosey @Pi_rat There are mitigations to that problem if you host your own git. -

>8GB RAM >256GB SSD >$600 USD >2 USB ports.
A GNUbooted ThinkPad can match the RAM and beats everything else. -

@SuperDicq @Asklepian @rosey @Pi_rat Nvidia first needs to get a copy if they want to do that - so don't publish it on github, ez. -

@Asklepian @SuperDicq @rosey @Pi_rat What you are developing is proprietary software without any freedom.
If you don't want Nvidia to use your software, just license AGPLv3-or-later. -

@quad >You're excited for proprietary cancer.
The ThinkPad W500 and T500 have good keyboards and you can put a 1200p screen in them. -

@meeper Why not a sinusoid grapher is GNU Bash? Would have been faster. -

@neet It exists, but shipping costs make it not worth it.
