Please note that this is based on a Reddit post from three years ago. It's a YouTuber that stokes drama for money doing what he does best.
You can disagree with Rossmann on many things, but trying to dismiss him by calling him "YouTuber that stokes drama for money" just shows your own ignorance. His business revenue is in millions, in comparison what he gets from YouTube is peanuts.
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.
