Can't watch right now, but is there a list of affected devices?

I didn't even know he had a brother.

I have a Canon color laser printer which works pretty well and doesn’t pull any of this shit. They’re probably the last one standing now.

I heard Brother was good, then I spent way too long formatting different USB sticks in different cluster sizes and formats, and never got ours to work with any of them. Don't buy Brother if you want that feature, either.

I have a Brother printer at work that's old enough that I don't have a single thumb drive small enough to work with it. Haven't tried in a while, but iirc it tops out at 8gb and the smallest I have is 32gb.

But it works fine over the network, so I'll just carry on ignoring the firmware update it's been begging me to install for two years.

Go with a bottle printer, or at least a laser and get a standalone scanner for USB. Cartridges suck, literally, all-in-ones even moreso.

Great, brother are the only ones I'll still buy.
