Suddenly, the printer I have in my house started to put a lot of stains in the paper.

@stefano get a laser printer and don't look back. The biggest issue with inkjets is that you need to print regularly for them to stay healthy.
I kept buying more and more expensive injkets thinking that they would be better, but nope... they still suffer from the same issues if you're not printing at least once a week year round.
I then bought the cheapest laser printer and it's still working 12 years later.

Decades ago, analyzing a log, I stumbled on an IP, apparently from Telefónica in Spain, which requested strange things.
Checking the surrounding IPs I stumbled on an open LaserJet, so I printed the message "¡Cuidado! ¡Tu impresora es accesible para todos!" signing it with my e-mail.
I didn't receive replies, but the day after the printer was no more open.

@stefano
Ah, 7 years could hurt rubber parts.
I've experienced flooding tonors from disposed tonor bottle as of the broken sensor, thus, my previous comment.
Another example was because someone previously replaced the bottle didn't attached new one properly, thus, leaked. -

I wrote this series a time ago, based on similar dialogs:

I know things like these have been written a zillion times, but every voice is necessary to fight the oppression of these machines from hell

@stefano @TomAoki I've dealt with this a few times, to the point of purchasing a vacuum for cleaning up toner.
There are mylar/rubber/plastic parts on a toner cartridge that get brittle with age. Even brand new old stock - so you install it and toner goes everywhere
Ask me how I know 😁😈
In HP toners it is the scraper that cleans off the toner from the roller that tends to go bad in 7-10 years. So be careful when purchasing old stock at the swap meet or on fleabay/Craigslist

We've looked at absorbance spectra of a bunch of magnatiles but she doesn't quite get all the details I'm trying to explain.
The joys of trying to teach a preschooler physics lol. (Having Paisley's Corner playing in the background was also a bit of a distraction but she insisted)

Comparing spectra of the incandescent and white LED bulbs

Fine tuning the Lego spectrometer more.
Using a maglite as the source eliminates the need for a separate collimating lens.
I also switched away from the very flaky variable slit made of a sliding brick that wouldn't stay in place if you looked at it wrong.
After some failed experiments with aluminum foil, I discovered that the round tree trunk Duplo brick was a tiny bit smaller than a nominal square 2x2 brick. When placed next to a square brick and locked in place with a plate on top you get a very consistent, repeatable slit that I'd ballpark as somewhere around 200 μm.

@staff if it weren't for all the sport bots that jam the feed it'd have been cool to keep seeing it

@staff to be fair one can say the same about the Trending feed, in the sense that it features a pretty homogeneous side of Mastodon that focuses on the same subjects over and over (e.g. exclusive focus on U.S. issues, technology, cats when people have other pets or none at all, etc.) and this can discourage people with more varied interests or lived experiences beyond that. We should be encouraging more diversity of interests beyond those things. The Trending feed does not sufficiently do that, despite the lack of an algorithm.
(this is kind of tangential to my earlier point about moderation, but I still feel it is worth mentioning)
