From yesterday:
- 5x Toner and 2x drums for my Brother HL-2270DW ($5 per, $35 for all). 3rd party... but at the price I don't care. Doubt I'll ever need toner or drums for it ever again; it's my...

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
Ended up using it to retire a less than useful Laserjet 4L (which I was using with a Jetdirect 500x)... Dimensionally it's close enough to the 4L that it happens to fit on the bottom of my garage...

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
Yep. Other than being slow and only having 150 pages, nothing wrong with it. Full toners, heck the tray was half full of paper :wtf:

Scored a cartload of stuff at Goodwill Outlet for $21... Which included a HP Laserjet Pro CP1525nw Color. Works great and had 4 full 3rd part toner cartridges.

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
My last laptop to use unifying was the E6430... my last one with mini-PCIe slots that could be adapted to internal USB dongles. Such an adapter doesn't exist for m.2 AFAIK so my thinkpads have all...

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
Scored a Logitech Performance MX mouse for $0.99. Paired it to a spare unifying reciever I had sitting, works great... but the jury's out on the battery (rechargable AA NiMH, easy to replace).

Re: Why does my truck have a microphone in it?

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1

Defective ShopJimmy LED Strips?
Last summer I replaced the LED Strips in a Vizio E60-E3 4K TV and gave it to my parents. I bought the strips from ShopJimmy's Amazon store.
