I have an 8+ year old colour Brother laser printer still going strong. Only had to replace the black cartridge for the first time the other week, colors all still going strong!

I can leave it unused for months & then just fire it up & print 100 pages with no problems whatsoever.

Wish I had it back in college/uni days when I had no end of problems with various crappy ink jet printers, even smashed one up I got so pissed off with it mucking me about back in the day.

Saying that, I think I’ve seen comments by others saying newer Brother laser jets aren’t as good?

This is the way

Is that all? Just the price of doing business for them :/

Candyman, a mates older brother showed it to us when I was around 10ish, don’t think I was ever the same again.

Also caught a bit of Toxic Avenger on late evening tv around the same age, when I should have been asleep but sneaked on the tv. Boy did I regret that.

Good effort! Ditto for me these days. Back when I was young & foolish that might have only lasted me a few months tops. It was actually shortly around that time I finally stopped for a couple of years & now just occasionally enjoy. Much healthier life balance. ;)

Only 3?

Sodastream is from Israel, so that’s a big no from me. Only learned that recently when I was considering if I should buy one.

Not heard of Drinkmate before. Thanks for reigniting my hopes of home made carbonated water!

This sounds more like a firmware issue, even if the crashing app is causing continual Bluetooth reconnects. How is a life critical hardware device not configured in a way that allows it to run without an app in a safe way!?!?
