The mad rush to sell the sizzle, not the steak.
Wouldn't it be nice to have one company create a simple printer that just prints. It does not have a local webpage. It does not monitor your ink supplies. It does not phone home. It uses ink from bottles sold inexpensivly.
Would be less hassle to just fucking 3d print a page
The last point does exist, those printers are just more expensive because they are no loss leaders and no ink sales are expected.
