I have a laptop that has been out of warranty for about a year with a Ryzen 2200u and it is not supported by the OS.
This is the real reason. None of the PCs in my home will support it. They all run perfectly fine for what we use them for.
Does HP still pull the multiple-colors-in-one-cartridge trick? I gave up on them because of that, and their shitty OSX software.
Not on this model. 4 toner cartridges - one for each color.
I've been in the market for a color laser printer recently, and I'm having trouble finding a non-evil printer. Most of them seem big on this exact DRM strategy for the toner (and/or other parts), which I outright refuse to support. Another issue I keep running into is printers which are poorly supported in Linux.
Any tips on where I could find something reasonable? It doesn't have to be the cheapest, as long as it is consumer friendly.
My HP Color LaserJet Pro M452mw takes non-HP toner cartridges. I think the first time I put one in, it warned me but also told me how to turn off the warnings in the menu settings. I have never had a problem with after-market HP toner cartridges which are plentiful.

It is well worth a listen. We drover a Chevy Nova (later Geo Prism) built at the Nummi plant and it was outstanding. Actually ruined us since we knew it was really a Toyota. I've never bought anything but Japanese since.
Just look at my Slashdot user name.
I've been using the Ramsey Electronics 1 watt FM transmitter (FM35BWT) for about 5 years continuously in my my house. Although it goes up to a watt, I only output about 1/2 a watt.
I also have used the C.Crane FM transmitters (Item # FMT) that have the easy mod to boost the output. This should cover a normal stick construction house. (I had to get the Ramsey transmitter when I moved into big concrete and rebar homes overseas).
There are also lots of options on eBay but I had trouble getting the antenna impedance to match up correctly on the one I bought.
What, you don't know how to set the clock on your computer back to June 1st, then fire up Word and type up the document? That amount of effort certainly doesn't take a techie or a fancy bit editor. It only takes a few drops of imagination. It's certainly within the skillset of your average cop.
The only requirement is that you set the clock back before creating the new doc. It won't work to set the clock back and try to edit it after the doc has been created. But in that case you'd just have to create another new doc and retype in the old text. It's no big deal, but when people are stressed out enough that they're forging "evidence" they're also likely in a rush, and may make a careless mistake.
In many corporate environments (and much to my irritation at my USG job), only an administrator has the capability to adjust the clock/date. Doubt it is for the reason you mentioned, more likely to ensure job security.
You assumed that they mass emailed the notice and are incorrect.
As the article states, the notice was sent by "cable" which is the old telegram system and still the only official means of communication between the Department and US Missions overseas.
The cable system is on a completely separate classified network.
As the unfortunate recipient of the mail storm emails I will say that many people included information in their replies that referenced the cable (and subsequent Department Notice) telling people to stop hitting reply to all so you are not entirely incorrect. It is just that the Department was smart enough not to send out a blanket email to everybody.
The other thing that seemed compound this problem was that the To: line didn't have any names or mailing list groups listed. People (idiots) didn't realize that they emailing almost everyone in the Department.
I would also point out that the email servers slowed but I never experienced any lost email or service interruption. Some emails were delayed by as much as two hours.
