2017-01-02 22:10:23 UTC  

our store in particular is pretty good for tech work but some stores are shit

2017-01-02 22:10:36 UTC  

guy hands him what i think is a time machine

2017-01-02 22:10:42 UTC  

says "Apple ONLY" on it

2017-01-02 22:10:58 UTC  

that might be on purpose

2017-01-02 22:11:06 UTC  

he says "oh its fine"

2017-01-02 22:11:08 UTC  

we had this one wd drive that was marketed at macs

2017-01-02 22:11:14 UTC  

that went clearance and is now cheap

2017-01-02 22:11:19 UTC  

so we just format them

2017-01-02 22:11:21 UTC

2017-01-02 22:11:32 UTC  

do staples still do legacy support for dot matrix printers?

2017-01-02 22:11:40 UTC  

What do macs use, BFS?

2017-01-02 22:11:51 UTC  

no apple has their own file system cancer

2017-01-02 22:11:57 UTC  

depends on the store

2017-01-02 22:11:59 UTC  

i don't care what anyone says, dot matrix printers are da shit

2017-01-02 22:12:09 UTC  

torvalds went off on how shitty apples file system is

2017-01-02 22:12:21 UTC  

>tfw im thinking about putting OSX on my thinkpad

2017-01-02 22:12:21 UTC  

tbf everyone's file system sucks.

2017-01-02 22:12:22 UTC  

if you have someone working at the store who knows how to work on them they'll book it in a flat rate service and fix it

2017-01-02 22:12:41 UTC  

but if nobody there knows how they'd most likely just tell you to buy a new printer

2017-01-02 22:12:54 UTC  

So why is everyone saying to buy stuff before the chinese new year?

2017-01-02 22:13:02 UTC  

at my store we might have one guy who would be able to fix it but i doubt he'd do it for a good price

2017-01-02 22:13:04 UTC

2017-01-02 22:13:06 UTC
