Trying to track down the source of stuff online is so weird these days. Ars Technica mentions the “Brother printers blocking third-party ink" thing that just started blowing up is I guess because someone made a video that's sourced from a three-year-old reddit post? arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/0

@misty maybe an AI came up with the topic

@misty A friend of mine was describing how he recently faced the issue and his workaround so I think it is a legitimate problem but, yeah, it's nothing new.
