I have an Igloo with a drain. It doesn't leak, but the wall is thinner there and it sweats condensation.

Just maintain eye contact and nod occasionally.

I have picked some up at places i worked but I got zero as a child, our house was always a messy, cluttered mess, and then some hoarding started.

The Trump admin lowered federal withholding.

My son's employer Symantec was bought out by an international megacorp and they shed a lot of US employees. I asked him if they disliked the American branch and he said they just disliked American salaries.

I don't think it's the printer's fault. It's a Brother and it just worked straight out of the box. Then a year or so later, it intuits somehow that there is a firmware update needed and meh, problems.

Comcast?? You have my respect. That's one ISP we haven't been stuck with here, Spectrum/Charter is bad enough. We tried Metronet, spouse didn't like their offerings or prices, we switched back.

Edit; I have been on reddit maybe 3 years so no cake needed.

Isn't that the MS answer to every problem, turn it off and back on. ;) I once owned a Saturn with a similar problem.

Hmm. No. And I can always use some upper level IT advice, despite being a volunteer "webmaster" on WordPress and "sysadmin" on Google Workspace.

I had friends who, when they knew I was job hunting, used to send me links to IT jobs. Just bc I'm better at using computers than them, I guess. I did build one once... But I had to point out to them those jobs require an IT degree, which I do not possess, or coding proficiency, which I also do not possess beyond basic HTML 4. My son is the family coder/gamer.

It's got no document origination software on it apart from Notepad and Wordpad. I have actually created a doc on it before I remembered I couldn't print from it, and had to email it so I could print it from my phone.

My ancient (7+ years) Toshiba laptop, which cannot downgrade to Win11, has its own issue with the printer since the firmware update. It may be related to shifting IP addresses. If it has been a while since I printed from it, I have to uninstall and reinstall the printer before the computer can connect to it.

Huh, I wonder if there's a Samsung printer app for laptops, since my Android phone prints perfectly using that. And it's not even a Samsung phone.

I have tried to install the printer manually using the IP but no bueno there either. I think that's a bad piece of oversight on Mickeysquash's part.

Yep..."tweedle deedle deedle, I'm done." (My sister in law hates the tune it plays, so I turned the volume up.) I don't leave large appliances running when I'm not at home bc shit can happen.

I wish. I can print but the last firmware upgrade broke the scanning function. And it's WiFi only.

AND our newest laptop upgraded to Win 11 and it now can't find WiFi Direct printers.

THIS. I am 70 and don't enjoy many popular activities. Then you know what came along and stuck us in our houses... I find myself not wanting to do even things that I used to enjoy.

I know many people that are more COVID averse than me. I wonder how they stand being cooped up so much. I want to go out, and I do more, but not to crowded places... which is most places.
