minus-squarefrog 🐸@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoI don’t print a lot (average 1 page a day), so having the printer actively “awake” and consuming electricity all the time is pretty wasteful. So that wouldn’t move it into the category of “not evil” for me.

minus-squarefrog 🐸@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoTo me it’s just part and parcel of owning a printer. They’re awful devices, but one I unfortunately need to use on occasions.
