Actually, these guys keep EVERYTHING. Like litelarly everything. It’s a TV station, so basically there is no need for the old equipment to be hooked up to PCs, cuz it’s just used to digitalize old tapes, but still, these things are huge, so you need a shitload of storage. Luckily, they have it, so it’s not a problem.

I sometimes feel like treasure hunting when looking for parts, lol. I’m the IT guy there, but if it’s a small fix, I sometimes do the tape players as well. Head change and stuff like that, not really a problem. Anything bigger, let’s see what we got in the pile… well, waddaya know, here is one that works, here ya go 😁.

How much old tech they actually have… like rooms of it… most of it is kept for spare parts.

Oh I’m good with a European map, could also point to locations and names of capitals as well.

Mhm… yeah, you could do waves on breasts I guess… if they’re big enough, lol 😂.

Hm, also kinda makes sense.

Midwest 🤷? It’s somewhere in the middle though, right? European, so don’t really know the US map in detail.

Lol, gave me a good chuckle 🤣.

Really? I’ve never been on a motor boat, I wouldn’t know.

At least that explains why I couldn’t find logic behind the slang.

Maybe it’s like a failsafe rule, to not put the country in danger 🤷.

Wow, didn’t actually know this, good info 👍.

Trust your gut, that’s what I would do.

Yeah, the bites seem small.

My son right there… to be fair, he’s a toddler.

Maybe, I’ve only had experience with a few of them, not hundreds… never had any problems with the swingplate. Feeder rubbers, yes, but that’s a common problem on all printers, you just sand those down a bit and they work like new.

These can still be pretty good if used for home printers, 30K pages without a problem, that’s a lot for home use. You could probably still get one of these for like $100 second hand. That’s not a bad deal considering how good these things are.

Ricoh are great, but I’ve had bad experience with Xerox. Xerox used to be great, but they dropped in quality the last decade or so. Ricoh are still great though.

The need for self-masturbation (circlejerk) runs strong in people. “Wow, look at my cool new lips/ass/boobs/ink.”. Yep, all things that we as a human race should be really proud of 😒.

I wish I lived on another planet, this one never really felt like home anyway.

Still, it’s niche as far as I know.

Can’t believe people are signing up left and right to Threads… do they even know it’s a data harvesting farm?

Wait, are we talking about the same printer?

These were beasts man, going through 40k pages withought a hitch.

Those are like upvotes/likes?
