The article does it right: test@test.com and other similar things (e.g: a@a.com) will throw an error the first time you put in a password and it’ll proceed to create an offline account.
The people that go through the steps like commands and disabling internet are making too much work for themselves.
From a repair standpoint, Brother are definitely the best option (that I know of). I do authorised repair work for them, and their support guides, technical support team and range of spare parts is absolutely amazing. The biggest problem I see is aftermarket toner wrinkling up the fuser of laser models, but that’s not like it’s something Brother’s introduced to be anti-competitive slime bags.
I’ve got a second-hand HL-5370DW (from 2009~) that’s been through the wringer of a medical practice - I still use it to print without any issue, despite the Web UI insisting that all the non-toner consumables need to be replaced immediately.
ASUS still ironing out the wrinkles 20 years later…
awkis pretty damn solid. When I was completely rewriting thegravity.shscript from Pi-hole about six years back, it was easily the fastest for parsing and uniquely sorting content from files with a couple million lines. It made things much more usable on Raspberry Pi Zero hardware, since changing to another language like Python was out of the question.
