Only because they have enshitified the consumer multi-function devices. They all have the computing power for direct scan-to-network to be standard feature at any price tier.

what about scanning to WebDAV/Nextcloud/SMB-Share/Paperless-NGX?

Manufacturers seem to have by and large decided that those features are reserved for professional office units priced at >$400, and for everything that can’t scan directly to network drive without a computer you can only operate the machine directly (ie pushing the buttons on the machine) if you have Windows or Mac. Linux users must use a desktop app, browser interface, or smartphone app.

It may not have planned that way, but they could have re-centered the mirror after bringing the counter in.

It’s a cubist bathroom for asymmetrical people.

The future that he helped steer towards?

probably not. probably the future for him if enough progressives win to actually start fixing some of this shit.

But they don’t want it to remain so. They want to their agents to be used as educators in place of traditional education. Look at what Google just announced for Gemini answers to start fully replacing actual search results. They want to be your only sources for information. Then they can make sure it’s the information they want you to have, rather than an unbiased source of actual information.

they’re pretty up front about it. They want to gatekeep knowledge so they can monetize it and control the labor.
