    As a tech worker, I’d rather have a panicked skunk in my home than a printer.

      But people keep insisting that I print, sign and scan documents like we are living in the stone age of computing. I literally recently got a brand new in a box printer from 2008 just so I could do exactly that.

        Places don’t accept pdf files that have signature touchscreen signed signatures?

        I sold and bought a house without signing anything except the final papers at the notary. The mortgage, the realtor papers, the inspection all were signed on either a DocuSign page or on my phone with a stylus.

          I just got onboarded to a fortune 500 company as a consultant and that was the process.

      I got a Lexmark business laser printer from a place that was going out of business for like $50. Best investment I ever made. It just sits there quietly, not doing anything, until I print something like twice a year. Five years in and it still works fine, I haven’t even replaced the toner.

        My brother in Christ, you’ve paid $5 per print.

          Alright, best is an exaggeration. But $5/print assumes it breaks before I print anymore. The actual value is still unknown.
