I mean it was news to me. I didn’t watch the Youtube video or feel that I needed to. I own a Brother printer, I did exactly the same thing both commentators talked about, recommended to people that they buy from Brother specifically because they didn’t do this bullshit. Now I am bothered.

It doesn’t talk to the internet, but I am wondering if having it connected to a Mac is enough to automatically update my drivers someday and start to commence fuckery, and if I should go ahead and figure out how to hook it up to Linux and have it on a frozen driver version just to be sure. I definitely like the way it works right now.
