Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):
!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
-
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
-
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
-
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
-
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
-
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
-
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
-
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

Big brands like Epson and Canon have verification chips on their proprietary ink containers and also 'read ink levels' that simply stop your printer from functioning even if it has ink if their cartridges drip below a certain level, sometimes as high as 50%. It's a scammy practice to fraudulently sell you more ink even if you haven't run out but the ink is now considered out of date or some bullshit.
I assume this is a way to circumvent your printers crap and make it print until the ink runs out. The websites not particularly clear on that.
Ah, that. Nice to know there's a way around it.
Funnily enough i hade the opposite problem with my Canon: Ink cartridges getting empty for some reason, reporting the printer that they still had ink, the printer failing to pull in ink and then telling me that my cartridges can't be original.
I swapped the original cartridges with other original cartridges only to get the same problem a few weeks later. I swapped the printer head and started using refillable cartridges that automatically reset the fill state when disconnected from the printer and so far the printer keeps working.
