I'm impressed that HP has found a new and exciting way to make printers worse, considering how bad they already are.

Haven't they been doing that for years already though?
Printers are one of the most successful blades and razors marketing approaches ever.

Well, they just bought Samsung's printer division, so they could make them so they catch on fire if you don't use HP toner
Epson has been doing this for a while, for HP it's a first that I can remember where they are enforcing original cartridges. They were promoting the use of original cartridges passively though.
Oh well, printers are the worst kind of expense one has to make, you buy a device, that needs to be fed with liquid gold to print some text or image on a piece of paper you could just as well have kept digitally, but need it on paper for legal reasons. The government should be forced to supply public printers for free in every city so people don't have to be abused anymore.
Non-professional inkjets just aren't worth it. You can buy a laser printer, or you can buy money incinerator that happens to occasionally output printed pages.
Switched to laser 3 years ago due to inkjet cartridges price. Missus printed 1000+ pages a year, for 3 years, during her studies.

All the equipment used there is a lot of fun to play with. I haven't had a chance to actually operate a directional drill, but fusion arc splicers are incredibly neat bits of kit. Just don't forget the thread the strain-relief on before you start: they're not nicknamed 'fuckits' for nothing!
So, the good news is, after having failed to install half a dozen preview builds over the past couple months, Windows 10 finally managed to update itself to the final release version of the anniversary update (and I'm turning off preview builds for a while.)
The bad news is, the way the system restarted, my browser didn't properly park itself, and my session got nuked, so now I have to recover all my tabs through session buddy which bypasses the browser's ability to NOT load background tabs.

No I've used a session manager extension for a while now as a backup. I've never used a browser that didn't occasionally flub "restore last session". The problem is when you restore the last session, it doesn't immediately load every single tab, so everything's fine, but extensions don't have that low level access, so they just send a script to open new tab with X URL, so every tab loads at once clogging up the memory.
I don't know about Chrome, but Session Manager for Firefox can successfully reopen my several thousand tabs across a few windows without having to fully refresh each tab. It even nicely saves/loads tab state, so scroll position and form contents are preserved.

After the triple-slot card, we now have a quad-slot card ! And it's oversized ofcourse.

I wonder if this would still fit in an Ncase M1.
