I am always reminded of this tweet from ProZD when printers come up:

i've got a billion dollar idea, imagine a computer printer but like, it actually fucking works, it prints every time like it's fucking supposed to without issue, it just does that no fucking problem, companies, feel free to take this idea, this one's on me

This type of printer exists. It's called a Brother laser printer.

Ooo fun, a printer that never goes out of sleep mode... Nah fuck that brand, it shouldn't have taken an hour for my brother laser printer to start up. Soo stupid man. Whenever I need something printed I just put it on a USB stick and get it printed at my local library. It's faster anyways, and I don't have to deal with my stupid hibernating brothers printer
