Normal people (idiots) would rather spend 4 years of their overall life "hacking" with Windows to avoid 30 minutes learning to use a forward slash.

Wait until millions realize they have Windows home and don't have group policy editor

There's a word for software that does actions without the user's permission or knowledge.

That word is MALWARE

The only "smart" appliance to own is an offline appliance.

The SMART thing to do is to buy a DUMB TV. Pay a little more and get a real TV- you know. A display, with speakers and HDMI inputs. Nothing else.

15 years ago HP was among the best in the business. They made workhorse products that did millions of pages (and those old models continue to)

Today HP is a malware and telemetry company who won't let the average consumer use their printer without a logged-in HP account slurping telemetry about every aspect of their lives. Any consumer who buys a printer with the letter "e" in the model number is paying money to be spied on. Anyone who buys a non-"e" model is still doing so, but in a less VISUALLY obvious, and obnoxious way.

This is not random assumption. I'm a tech. Anyone who buys an HP Printer today and asks me to install them gets a fast education on why they shouldn't cut the packing tape on that box.

Buy Brother.

Not long after installing/subscribing, was suggested to update. Since then I've had the app crash when opening.

In case anyone else happens to see the same issue- at least for the time being, uninstalling/reinstalling seems to have done the trick.

I do a lot of VMWare work but I'd like to tinker with proxmox at home- I just don't want to bring an awful old HPE server/etc home to try it out on-

Anyone have any reccomendations for a quiet, small homelab server with a solid (12-16 thread) core count?
