After a full year of not thinking about printers, the best printer is still whatever random Brother laser printer that’s on sale.

The Verge published this spam article about the “best printers of 2024” to demonstrate how terrible Google’s search results are. It now appears as the top non-sponsored post if you search “best printer” on Google.

I love a good, informative troll.

    Sorry this just isn’t my experience. I’ve never encountered a microwave which doesn’t start when you press start. If I had one that was faulty I would discard it and buy another one for $20.

      Well I’m glad you’ve been lucky but that’s all it is, you’re a bit out of touch.

      Faulty

      It’s not faulty, it is that way by design. And this is basically the standard nowadays. Just look at most TVs - trying to open an app on one is like pulling teeth, it lags to high heaven just navigating a menu.

      Microwaves might be cheap ($20 though? Jeez where do you live! They start at £50-£80 minimum here) but I was just using that as an example to prove the point. Boilers aren’t cheap.

        Meh. Maybe I am a bit out of touch, but honestly you might be too.

        There’s a whole cohort of people, I daresay most people, who wouldn’t bother looking at reviews to purchase this type of item.

        If today is the day I’m going to buy a washing machine, then I go to a shop that sells them, I select one based on price vs features, arrange delivery, and leave.
