Printers are something they've actually figured out on the last few years.

I can go somewhere I've never been, get the login for the network, and print documents from my phone without any downloading drivers, sacrificing goats or anything.

you don't know how many drains that sysadmin installed under her altar, do you?

I hooked up a 2013 printer to my new wifi network, opened a pdf on my phone, clicked "print" and selected the printer from the dropdown list. No driver installation. No special app for the printer. It just works.

ooh, did they sacrifice the goats in the factory? pretty snazzy; i haven't bought any new hardware in years, and this might just be the impetus I need to run out to microcenter.

Deferred sacrifice. They still need to be sacrificed. He just doesn’t know when.
