The best printer to have in your house is not having a printer in your house.

If she has to have one, try and talk her into getting a Brother.

If she insists on getting an HP, try to avoid the subscription ones. If she’s only printing, use the HP Universal Print driver and just use the base driver. (Device manager > find the printer > update driver > browse for the driver > Have disk > Find the INF > yada yada)

If she likes shitty bloated software, I guess let her install the normal drivers but it’s going to suuuuuuck. Wifi printing from them also sucks, unless you enjoy constant tech support. Then being on the phone trying to resolve a wifi issue.

Anyway, fuck a printer.

Since the Steam Link app came out on it, it’s been waaay easier to play PCVR titles. I’ve had more fun with it playing modded games that weren’t meant for VR than actual new VR games. Valheim was nuts. Skyrim VR modded to hell is super nuts. It’s a great way to re-experience some of those old games.

I did this in my 2012 Tundra and having the option of Car Play or Android Auto is so nice. Having Waze navigate, PlexAmp stream my music and have all that info on the display is awesome. Meanwhile my wife’s 2015 Rav4 has outdated, out of support navigation and slow as hell interface. I’d love to replace it too, but I’ll have to see if replacing it breaks any of the cars other functions. I’ve used Crutchfield the past three I’ve replaced. Put in your car model and they will add everything you need to get it going.

Seeing so many brands (especially GM) with their full LCD displays, I know those will eventually have some kind of problem. It’s insane to me to have those be the main panel display. I can’t imagine the cost to replace them or if you can even get the parts in 5-10 years.

Bad analogy, Smart TVs actually do suck and so do their apps. This is like replacing WinAmp with RealPlayer.
