@RoseThorndyke Printers like the 2D kinda?? My Brother has served me well for decades, I have no complaints! 3D printers on the other hand...my god I hate Creality... :) LLMs are definitely worse than either though. I think if it were HP in particular vs LLMs it would be a more difficult choice though :)

@RoseThorndyke The darkest side of me has conjured up LLM printer drivers. I am so sorry for speaking that concept into existence.

@RoseThorndyke I also I did get that one laser printer from that article that goes "Just get that one good printer" and it really work. I've had absolutely no problem with it. Which goes to show at least it's possible to make a printer that doesn't suck (unlike LLM)

@RoseThorndyke Printers don't have to be shit. They just have a shit sandwich slapped on top. LLMs? They're shit from the ground up. At least for their current uses / the way they're currently designed.

@RoseThorndyke Wow. That was a tough one. The deciding factor was that at least I can shoot my printer if it starts acting up.

@RoseThorndyke it was easier to vote when I remembered that printers aren't technology but the vengful spirits that haunt the earth made manifest.

@RoseThorndyke@cathode.church Printers are terrible, wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole... I have no idea as to whether 3D printers are any better. Mind you... I've had some very unusual behaviour from printers. They have done exactly what they were told. And not in a, "oh fuck I guess that's what I told it to do..." but in a, "yeah that's what I asked, I got what I was wanting..." Though the one printer does need a cleaning apparently.
