    printers man. it’s always some bullshit about how the printer doesn’t work anymore, no wifi, no ink, it’s printing some random HP bullshit Instead of what they want

    call me an asshole but I told my parents I would strictly not help them with printer stuff anymore

    they would also make me scan like 40+ pages back and forth. I hate scanning as well which is part of the agreement I made with them. they need to scan 49 pages ? ok then go to the library they probably have machine where you can dump a stack and have it scanned

    if you’re wondering about the frequency and volume of scanning the reason why is because I come from an ass backwards country that does not do e documents

        that’s a first I’ve heard for Germany, wrong guess but at least the Germans share my pain

        • It’s a bit of an overstatement, sure. But our administration is kinda notorious for being very slow adapting to the digital world.

          It’s slowly improving lately, but there’s still a lot of stuff that’s excruiatingly analog and a lot of actual paperwork required by law.

          It was kinda big news when some government agencies abandoned fax machines last year.
