[Louis Rossmann] Brother turns heel & becomes anti-consumer printer company
-
They're actually behind. 3D printers are a much newer industry. Most industries start out super open, competitive and collaborative. This speeds up development to consumer-grade products. Eventually one or two companies gain sufficient marketshare to start enforcing anti-consumer shitfuckery. Look at the recent drama with Bambu printers and you'll find that's exactly what's happening. It's a tale as old as time.

dude I would pay gold for that
-
Enshitification is the word of this century
-
Of this species.
-
Has anyone figured out how to 3d print a 2d printer yet?
-
-
It's just capitalism. Don't make it more then what it is.
-
Future for us: service bundling so you need to pay for shit services you don't need to get the few you do need.
-
I don't think I'm making it more than it is. Just can't believe the God-damned Russians got to Brother, too.
-
yeah let's build "ghost printers" wait are we in a cyberpunk dystopia?!

-
People that Weasle their way up the corporate ladder have been prefectly groomed to have no shame.
-
The consumer getting a product is just a byproduct of generating profits.
-
I rarely use a printer now that my kids are in college. When it dies, I had a choice between laser printer, Brother inkjet, or none. “None” is now my first choice
-
The last step is to put us all in prison and mandate we purchase their product (produced in the prison) from them while earning 69 cents an hour.
-
LINE GO UP
-
Sounds like another service to reject. Fucking try me, I will cook over a log fire if necessary just out of spite towards their bullshit.
-
That's what we did.
For the few pages we need to print, I can use the machine at the library for $0.10/page.
-
If you start saving your urine you'll never have to buy filament ever again. Really it's a blessing in disguise.
-
That goes without saying... another user here says the drive can't be larger than 8GB but I'm fairly certain I tried that, too.
