  You can run a power clean cycle which should help, then just replace the foam pads they saturate with ink for the cleaning

  They’re not perfect but they’re still the most consumer friendly option on the market at this point

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Too late for me personally, I’ve gone ahead and moved over to Zen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lenovo responds to Trump tariffs in unexpected style⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This mostly just comes across like a statement to calm investors.

  It’s super hit or miss, odds are it’s using azure though and not just running a model locally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky’s upcoming premium plan won’t give paid users special treatment⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta strikes multi-year AI deal with Reuters.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Of all the sources to use for accurate info on current events I’d say Reuters is probably one of the best. I’m not so naive as to think that these deals aren’t basically just trying to stall any meaningful cases on the legality of these models.

  If nothing else though at least these companies get to be propped up for their work in a small way.
