Everything requiring internet is pissing me the fuck off
oh boy oh BOY where do i even fucking begin
my old ass jank ass stinky ass printer filled its fucking inkpad and since the entire industry is an actual shitshow theres no diy solution other than paying 10 dollars for some unknown ass fucking software to reset the ink levels to 0% (since replacing the ink pad doesnt fucking do that!)
all of this in of itself would be quite fucking alright but since we dont live in a utopia everything has to be corporate fucking slop
this gorgeous nerve racking actual steaming pile of hot shit requires you to install printer drivers (which you promptly have to fucking terminate after) to even fucking PONDER about doing anything but sit pretty on your desktop
here comes the amazing part! the installer needs your already steaming pile of hot shit printer to be connected to the fucking internet, because a regular old usb cable is apparently outdated by sixteen kghjillion millenia, but since this printer is ancient enough to go age for age with a fucking pharaoh it obviously doesnt have a fucking display requiring you to run a pacer test between your router and the fucking printer pressing the wps button!
oh but boy does this get even fucking better, be because guess fucking what? it wont allow you to do anything until the fucking ink pads are cleared! not even connect it to wifi! so you're basically running circles like a fucking idiot between installing drivers, having to connect to wifi, needing to clear the ink pad, but not being able to do any of these because they require one or the other!
also big fucking shout out to whatever janky ass stinky dinky bitch ass company made this billion trillion dollar companys software because it sure as shit can fuck with everything on your pc but not be fucking capable of doing the one fucking thing it was designed for!
tl;dr fuck modern tech, fuck smart shit and fuck you epson i hate you
