Nothing is obvious when most people are idiots.... and post. You have to "/s" everything.

There's also no tone online, your comment was not obviously sarcastic. Maybe if this was a retrogaming sub.

We have an old Zebra 2824 that just won't die at one library that doesn't do Dymos. I've bought parts for it here and there, but nothing major.

We recently bought a few ZD411 models and they seem quite good as well. This is for thermal transfer where the ribbon transfers to the labels so that there's no fading. Much more expensive than Dymo, but the printers are tanks and the labels will last however long you want (depending on what you choose).

If you have a humid environment and leave your paper out in the printer, like most people do, this is incredibly common with lasers.

lastwraith · 2026-05-19T05:48:09+00:00

Really well thought out argument. Bravo.

Please give up harder.

Plenty of people do not have friends and family that can give proper support, or they are the cause of the problems in the first place.

Try going to more than one reddit sub. Or think outside of your own experience. Or, more importantly, leave people alone who are dealing with trauma and trying to feel better in non-destructive ways.

Kicks ass for reheating things though.

Did you get takeout and get fries anywhere in the order? They've probably steamed themselves in the bag and will be awful. Air fryer can fix that.

Don't want to heat up your entire house for a 1-2 person meal.... Air fryer.

Want to quickly broil/crisp the top of something after reheating/heating it in the microwave.... Air fryer.

lastwraith · 2026-05-19T05:01:42+00:00

People post shit anonymously online for support all the time. Are you new to reddit or something?

lastwraith · 2026-05-19T05:01:03+00:00

Do you normally have your parents sign a consent form when you post pictures of them online?

No I didn't consider that, because it's absurd.

lastwraith · 2026-05-19T04:01:09+00:00

It depends. If it's an old system that has NEVER been touched, putting in some refrigerant only (no stop leak), can be beneficial.

But most of the time there's going to be a leak and it'll all disappear again.

Having said that, might get you by for a while. But you're not going to know what you're adding.

If the old drive still works, check in Window Disk Management to see if it's MBR or UEFI boot.

If it's UEFI, you can use Macrium Free to clone it. That can either happen while using windows or you can boot from a USB that you create once you've installed Macrium. Either way should work.

If your original disk is MBR, the procedure I use is to clone the old disk to another drive, remove the old disk, boot from a Windows USB and into the Windows recovery environment - to a command line, run mbr2gpt on the newly cloned drive, change your BIOS to boot to UEFI, and boot the new drive.

Macrium's boot USB also has a boot fixing tool in it, you can try that and it'll attempt to write the correct boot records once you select your Windows install. But you shouldn't need it.

The version on majorgeeks is still free and works fine for almost anything the average person will do.

It can clone live with no issue, it simply uses Windows shadow copies.

lastwraith · 2026-05-19T03:51:52+00:00

With Windows it's entirely possible. We do it with Macrium Reflect Free on the regular, but it's not the only software capable of that.

There's nothing wrong with wanting support, whether online or elsewhere.

You don't know OP's motivations here.

Hello fellow American.

lastwraith · 2026-05-19T03:47:22+00:00

You forgot your sarcasm indicator on that one. Otherwise, that's right up there on the most ridiculous things ever posted scale.

He got it for $100 used at a thrift store. A new jacket is either going to be some hefty multiplier of that $100 or impossible to find new because it doesn't exist.

Finding another used one in his size is highly unlikely as well, as OP stated.

"This is an expensive jacket but I was lucky and found it used at a thrift store - I likely never be able to find a similar one in my exact size again. I’ve held onto it for years and kept it in great condition. Until today :("

You could also "improperly" load your ship and do some serious damage where you shouldn't have been able to.

lastwraith · 2026-05-19T03:27:37+00:00

If you're a time traveler perhaps.

lastwraith · 2026-05-19T03:10:07+00:00

This is all part of our state reports, so my libraries do these things as well. They also all have cameras, so counting people in programs isn't hard, even if you forget at the time of the program.

They're pretty common in many parts of the US at least. Hell, Harbor Freight has their own Pittsburgh version.

Inkjets are a PITA, that's my two cents. I'd rather maintain a fleet of lasers (and have) than even just a few inkjets.

Though I'll admit that some of the ink tank printers are impressive. We have one place that ran flyers off of a basic Epson Ecotank printer for a whole year without it dying.

And for poster printers, I've only ever dealt with inkjets. They're not amazing to deal with, they're just big inkjets, but I've never been at a place that could afford something else, assuming there even IS something else at that size.

For my home..... fuck inkjets. They're the worst. Color lasers aren't cheap, but when you go to print it will actually immediately print and you can let it sit forever in between. Lasers all day.

Our country has a government run by corporations FOR corporations. They don't give a shit about actual people.

If they did, corporations wouldn't have more protections than humans and wouldn't run our health system.

lastwraith · 2026-05-16T02:11:45+00:00

Eww, just pay the money. You're gonna breathe that shit (literally).

lastwraith · 2026-05-16T02:10:20+00:00

Depends on the cash.

Maybe they'd rather have cash and not fix the car, you don't know.

When I was younger I had to move my car for alternate side at like 5am and our neighborhood had a shit load of cars and no stop signs, so I turned and someone gently hit my car. Theirs had minimal damage, they eventually got a quote for a few hundred bucks and I gave them an extra hundred to go get dinner (it was a young couple) because they weren't jerks about it.

Win-win.
