I’ve had great luck with Brother Laser Printers except for one color one that died 3 weeks before the warranty.

No problem, I thought - they were super helpful up until asking me to read the serial numbers off of the toner cartridges and support came to a dead halt since the non-Brother cartridges “could be the source of the problem”

I was not going to run out and buy 4 new Brother cartridges to continue troubleshooting - that printer went into the trash.

TLDR; if you buy a Brother laser printer keep the original cartridges in case you have to call support!

Have had a few Brother printers (B&W / Color laser), for the most part they've been OK. Had a color one die last month, despite being in warranty, their support wouldn't talk to me without first reading off the serial numbers of the official Brother toner cartridges, leaving me in the position of buying 4 new cartridges just to continue troubleshooting the printer.

My Dad's in his 70's and has been playing Space Invaders since "Santa" got me an Atari 2600 when I was 5. He's also a big fan of Crazy Taxi. He and his girlfriend play Vikings together on their tablets. Before video games he played D&D with his friends. Any time I bring our kids over to his place the Wii or Switch will get turned on for Just Dance, Jackbox, Mario Party or whatever, it's great! :D

I really like how the teamwork plays out in Apex, but the âskinsâ(TM) are much more expensive and their last few updates have made the game worse... (yesterdayâ(TM)s PS4 update crashes the game if a certain characterâ(TM)s item is displayed at all... previous update was to grant 10% damage reduction to two characters, instead now the reduced damage goes straight through shields into their health - a buff that made them worse off than before. Been playing Fortnite since the middle of season 4 and my money spent has been $10 for that first battle pass. Dropped the same for my daughterâ(TM)s account two seasons ago and sheâ(TM)ll be getting season 9 tomorrow for free.
