What’s your take on an old toner cartridge? I'm talking about one that's been sitting there for 2, 5, or even 10 years. It’s an original, still in its factory packaging—you know, tucked inside that black anti-static bag and kept in a sealed cardboard box. If it’s been stored properly in a dry spot, what could actually go wrong with it? Just to be clear, I started noticing the prints looking all gray and washed out with this old toner before I finally swapped it for a new one, so I suspect the drum might be the culprit, but... anyway, I ended up picking up a different printer. If anyone happens to need a relatively fresh toner already installed in the aforementioned machine, just shoot me a DM. This Canon LaserJet served me incredibly well for years, honestly. Nothing but praise for it.
So, how do you pull that off without being rude about how it looks? I guess maybe you could just sarcastically suggest ditching the entire base altogether. You could try mounting the screen on some custom stand—like, build two wooden legs with grooves carved out to fit the thickness of the panel. You’d probably need to cut those slots at a specific angle so the screen sits at whatever height or viewing angle you find ideal.
A few months back, my printer started acting up—the output was looking incredibly washed out and gray, and you could barely make out any of the text. I figured a fresh toner cartridge would be the silver bullet, but boy, was I wrong. Even with a brand-new one installed, the pages were still coming out looking like they were printed through a fog. Since I’ve decided it’s finally time to let this thing retire to an e-waste recycling center, I feel a bit bad about tossing the relatively new, lightly used HP's toner cartridge. It would probably be pretty useful to someone who actually owns a "Canon LaserJet." So, if anyone is in need of that specific cartridge, shoot me a DM. You can just come pick up the whole printer from me here in New York City.
For that kind of cash, you could probably pick up a Corsair Vengeance, GeForce GTX 1650, 512MB GDDR3, 256-bit, PCI-Express. It was just sitting in a backup rig, used a little bit.
I need some help here. Does anyone know what a fair price would be for this EVGA GeForce GTX 450? It’s brand new and still in its original packaging—never actually been used—but I guess the warranty has already expired.
Oh, your computer is just running software updates. I’m assuming you’re waiting for the progress bar to finish and for the machine to shut itself down? Don't sweat it—that's pretty much standard procedure on macOS.
Grab yourself a microfiber cloth (you can usually find a 5-pack at Target or Walmart, roughly 12x16 inches) and dampen it just enough to be moist. Wipe down the screen with the damp cloth, then immediately follow up by buffing it dry with a fresh microfiber cloth. If plain water doesn't quite do the trick, maybe try a mix of 50% water and 50% glass cleaner designed for sensitive surfaces, using that same two-step process mentioned above.
