  • Me too. I have a Brother printer. When I first set it up, Windows printed everything in inverse black and white until I hunted down the correct driver. Windows also never figured out how to wake it up, so I always had to manually wake it up. And it simply never worked with the scanner.

    Linux got everything right without me having to fuss with anything.



  • To me, this is its biggest flaw. You can’t scroll back in chats very far, but you can search for lines further back. However in a truly spectacular display of uselessness, the search only returns the chat bubble you searched for, with no surrounding context.

    Some HD’s park the head on a plastic ramp at the OD of the platter stack. I don’t see that structure in your picture.

    Others park the head on the platter itself. This area is always not usable area, since contact isn’t great for data integrity. This is a simpler solution but comes at the cost of reduced data capacity.

    I don’t recall if this park area is on the ID or OD (it’s been a long time), but the position in your picture is reasonable since it would cost less disk area…
