I have a Brother MFC-9340CDW that I salvaged from work last year; we replaced it because it kept getting a ghost “paper jam” every time you tried to print something. Turns out the cause is an $18 board that’s known to fail. Scanner still works fine though, strangely.

I also have a Kyocera FS-3900DN b&w laser printer from 2006…or somewhere around there. It does the thing, and can even be managed with a CUPS server since it has 10/100 networking.

Now to figure out how to disable automatic firmware updates on the Brother 🤔

You would be shocked.

My ex has called the cops on me more than a few times in our past, because she just didn’t like how I was doing things. After I remarried and moved in with my now wife, my ex called the cops and CPS on us for abusing our kids (we don’t - we just have reasonable rules). That was a fun one and ended up with me getting a lawyer and dragging her to court. The judge was not happy with her. Also, my neighbor called the cops on us a few months ago because one of my kids was having a temper tantrum, and then again because my two older kids (and some neighborhood friends) purposefully excluded her kids from whatever game they were playing. We had a talk with our kids about excluding others and why you shouldn’t do that, but between you and I, those kids are brats and bully a lot of other neighborhood kids.

That’s just a taste of crazy. It’s not out of the realm of possibility for someone to be batshit enough to call the cops over an innocent baby-in-the-bathtub picture (though like I said, parents shouldn’t be sharing that on social media anyway, but here we are).

Phone Arena’s size comparison tool.

The “small” P9P is considerably larger than the iPhone 12/13 mini, which is the size OP wants.

That, and small phones on the Android side are often nerfed beyond reason, like a bottom-of-the-barrel Mediatek SoC with low RAM and shit storage option instead of the bigger model’s Snapdragon and quality storage, or shit cameras, or garbage screen resolution, etc etc.

There is something to be said about the larger variant having more room for better cameras, but outside of that, the nerfing feels almost intentional.

Some people may be fine with that, others not so much. Louis Rossman made quite a fuss about that a while back.

Rightly so. OS shouldn’t matter one bit. If the customer is paying for a service, then that service should be rendered as paid for, or else it should be discounted.

I know I know… One can dream.

Agreed 100%, a line absolutely should be drawn.

That said, as a parent of 5 kids, I’m more concerned for false positives. I’ve heard enough horror stories about parents getting arrested over completely innocent pics of their kids as toddlers or infants, that may have genitalia showing. Like them at 6 months old doing something silly in the tub, or what have you. I don’t trust a computer program that doesn’t understand context to accurately handle those kinds of photos. Frankly, parents shouldn’t be posting those pics on social media to begin with, but I digress. It sets a bad precedent.

I mean I’m not defending CSAM, just to be clear. I just disagree with any usage of AI that could turn somebody’s life upside down based on a false positive. Plus you also get idiots who report things they just don’t like.

Yeah, but who decides what content is disturbing? I mean there is CSAM, but the fact that it even exists shows that not everyone is disturbed by it.
