      Honestly, more people should probably do that. If you have a low printing volume, you’ll save a lot of money by going to a store to get prints.

      Yes, you can argue that you need the convenience of having a printer right there. Just realize you’re spending a lot of extra money for that convenience.

        I actually bought an old used Brother printer for $20, and it came with toner and everything already, so since I do not print a lot, my only recurring fee is paper and it is miniscule. And should I need to replace the toner, it is still widely available.

          Future for normies: Renting/subscribing for everything

          Future for me: Rejecting everything, I will write in cuneiform on clay tablets before I subscribe for a fucking HP printer.

              Sounds like another service to reject. Fucking try me, I will cook over a log fire if necessary just out of spite towards their bullshit.
