I was thinking about the doll house. But that was savage, nonetheless.
It is just a toy...
That is utter stupidity.
What that proposes is to hold someone, anyone, guilty by default, with no proof.
Are you me when I was back in school? Is this a loop hole?
Yes, much of which we learn in school seems/feels unnecessary to a perceived/imagined/planned personal future but its the variety of subjects that creates the basis for multi layered reasoning.
I am painfully aware Lemmy is mostly populated by high technically proficient individuals but the world is not about to be handled by machines and AI, not now and I risk not ever, simply because there are tasks that can not and should not ever be handled by a machine.
IT and tech is not the cusp of human achievement.
You had a bad experience. I respect that. I have not.
Unless we can force a certificate of origin from your local optician for the lenses and the frames, there is a good chance we are actually purchasing material made in PRC.
Regarding service, I've used glasses for so long I learned how to maintain, fit and fix minor damage to my glasses.
And regarding quality, even when I paid a lot more money, a pair of glasses would last for about a year, give or take a couple of months. I get the same time from a cheaper set of glasses. So, no gain in spending more.
Epson is running the market hard with their EcoTank printer. I've seen one litre bottles for less than €50.
If not, go for refurbished/refilled cartridges.
I still remember the fun of refilling old HP cartridges for a dime a dozen.

Buy from China.
I took the gamble because I had the money to spare and never looked back again.
The money I would pay for a set of glasses in my country goes easily over €300. With that amount, I can pay an ophthalmologist appointment, have my eyes checked by a doctor, properly, get the prescription, order two sets of glasses (one as a backup) and still have money to spare.
You're right! And it states "I really don't care about acquiring knowledge".
How busy are you to go that lenght to supposedly save time?
How busy is your life that you can't be bothered to actually study to learn?
So, first you need to learn how to set up the printer, then fetch the bot produced text, review (hopefully), load it to the printer, run a test to determine it every part is working, run the "print", review it...
I'd risk doing it yourself would be quicker

Tirando o grau, é tudo avô.
Qual é a vossa comercializadora de eletricidade?
Desde Maio que virei as costas às grandes comercializadoras de energia em Portugal.
Desde as tácticas comerciais desleais, aos preços elevados e a pouca ou nenhuma transparência nas operações e até mesmo a dificuldade de ler uma factura, tudo conspirou para eu bater com a porta.
Passei para uma pequena comercializadora, de natureza cooperativa, a Coopérnico, que até à data me tem surpreendido em todas as frentes.
E vocês?
I am in the EU.
We were caught in a never ending circle of being sent between seller, manufacturer and Microsoft in order to have the Windows license returned.
I did end up installing a Linux on the machine but my friend got chewed by the seller when he took it in to have the card reader replaced.
I recently discovered I can use an angle grinder with a level of precision and finess most people take some time to develop.
From free hand cutting straight lines into pretty much anything that can be cut, to precise cut of stone, cement or even metal.
I was dead afraid of this particular power tool for all my life and only when forced to use one to do some repairs around the house I discovered I could handle it so easily.
Unless a lot as changed, they do care.
Every single laptop and any prebuilt computer I find in the market comes pre installed with a Windows.
A good friend approached me to install a Linux on a brand new machine and just to make sure we called the customer support line, informing there was interest to return the windows license, as the software would not be used.
The reply we got was that by removing the software the warranty of the equipment would be null and void. The option was to ship the computer to their maintenance provider and have it removed, with costs presented at end for labour.
How is that?
As it is, that same argument was used by Apple to try to dodge from complying with the demand for having an industry standard for data and charge port/cable - the USB-C.
Planned obsolescence is a thing. Having law put in place to curb it is a good thing.
If you know you can buy something and you know that something will be repairable at least for a decade, it passes confidence to the end user.
Competition is welcome. Innovation as well. Legislation like this just means companies need to share standards and cooperate more and not aim to skin the client in an endless cycle of replacing expensive items that get thrown out before they are worn out.
