G1: We're not limited to programming. Asshole design goes beyond the computer screen. Some of our best posts have been from non-technical stuff.

G2: You can post positive things, too! Informational videos demonstrating malicious techniques, resources for combating assholedesign, etc. are all completely acceptable.

G3: Satire and Lampshade Hanging is acceptable if tagged appropriately. *Satire is ridicule of asshole design techniques, and should be tagged under the "Satire" flair. Lampshade Hanging is subversion of asshole design techniques and should be tagged under "Lampshading".

G4: Bots & novelty accounts are subject to arbitrary bans. Some users have issued concerns regarding certain bots and their use as a constructive part of Reddit. Some bots might be banned, others may be allowed to stay. This rule will be enforced on a case-by case basis.

On my printer if you hold down the "ok" button for like 5 seconds it will let you print anyways.

But of course they don't actually tell you about that feature, I had to look up if there was a way to force print.

This shit is literally the biggest scam on earth. They print a tiny amount of your color ink so that they can make the printer absolutely worthless without the disposable portion that has the absolute most insane markup. If you try to work around this insane bullshit, they brick your printer. Why hasnt someone undercut these scumbags yet?
