$.50-$.75. Maybe. They’re made from recycled plastic trash and air. They cost nearly nothing to produce.
Charging five dollars for a single pool noodle is outrageous

I’m currently dipping my toes into writing gnome extensions, so I’m no stranger to tormenting myself needlessly, lol
But writing printer drivers? That’s just creating your own hell.
There were, in the many past decades, a few printers here and there that were actually pretty decent to work with. Black-and-white HP laser printers from the late 90s through to the late 00s were actually pretty super.
And, really, past then, it’s not like printers have gotten any better. They may add more functions, but it cost you have easily learned it isn’t worth paying. So, for the basics, that area of printers between the 90s and the early 00s is your target. The trick is to get them to continue working on modern computers.
Again, this is where Linux is your friend
Ironically, because Linux was always the single target OS (family) on which these printers would “never” ever work.
lol

I spent several years writing printer drivers
Yeah, just like the rest of us. Lol.
OK, I asked for that.
FYI, I’m Gen X, so like everyone else, I haven’t had to deal with printers in a long time.
But, fucking hell, what a pain in the ass they always were.
OK, smartass, then explain how you hand-deliver an email

192·2 days agoWe just got sooooo close to flipping blue. If Chuck Schumer hadn’t been such a tightwad with that campaign cash, it probably would’ve pushed both Nixon and Jolly over the line.
Still, though, we broke the Republican super majority in the state house, and managed to hold onto all of the gerrymandered districts despite the Trump administration‘s efforts. And one way or another, Ron DeSantis is out forever come January. That’ll be a brighter day for everyone in the Sunshine State, no matter how you look at it.

Wow. It’s not the profound level of corruption that’s so shocking, it’s the profound level of incompetence. How did such stupid people get so far in life in the first place?
