If #Fax were invented or still in use today, there would be people breaking into joints in the phone network and implanting devices to change bank details on the fly.
Video description: A hand presses the start button on an LCD fax screen. Camera pulls back to reveal a Canon MFP scanning a document through the ADF. Camera pans down to reveal a rotary phone with a thing strapped to the handset. That thing has a cable connected to a Nissei Fax-305 portable fax machine. A spool of paper curling out the top. A hand reaches out to the ringing phone, lifts the receiver, and places it on the floor. The hand presses start on the Nissei; a status light starts flashing. After a short time, the paper starts moving very slowly, one line at a time. The first line to appear is the sending station info, reading: 2024 02/04 22:16 Fax 69 @greg The next line is the Fax Wikipedia article title and URL. Then the Wikipedia logo, followed by the title and first few lines from the Fax article. The camera then pulls back out to show the equipment on the floor again, before looking up at the modern Canon machine. The video ends here.

„Können Sie uns faxen an 04…“ – 🤨 äh, nein, kann ich nicht. Warum nicht? Weil ich hier in 2024 kein Fax habe.
Ja, EINE Seite könnte ich als TIF/PNG mit der FritzBox senden… aber ein mehrseitiges Dokument (PDF)? Nope. Ich habe mal per Ein-Seiten-Fax um eine E-Mail-Adresse geben 🙈
11/30/23: #KOSA is an anti-LGBTQIA+ #censorship bill. It is essential you call THIS week. Tell them you are specifically against KOSA and especially against hotlining the bill.
Call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected to the Senator of your choice.
Why does every freakin printer listing have seven images including a model standing next to the printer but NONE of the back or sides showing the connectivity!!
JFC I am SO sick of opaque-operation feature-proliferation- upsell culture.
I just needed a workhorse after all and B/W is fine for my purposes.
The #fax works coming in and going out (and directly from desktop), my #landline phone works fine passed through the machine, and copying is fine, too.
Scanning works fine too EXCEPT (my only gripe): each page scanned requires selecting an option before starting to scan. It means FOUR key presses with each scanned page, instead of staying set.
I often have hundreds to scan.
a client made by an enterprise who will willingly backdoor your messages
a client made by 3 people that get random breaking changes that completely obliterate flow
a client that is one giant html5 canvas that uses 100% of your browser gpu power
a client that requires systemd
way too many abandoned android and ios clients
please use fedi we have:
an instance software which is so popular but so feature deprived it makes no sense why it exists, also it's trademarked in a bad way
an instance software that has so much code rot it spawned 500 forks to try and fix it only to become rotten themselves
an instance software that doesn't really know what it's doing and instead implemented 3 different api standards, and this is the fork i'm talking about. no one should talk about the upstream project.
A fax machine just called my phone and left a 2 minute message. I guess I'm going to waste the rest of my day figuring out how to decode the audio. Any advice out there? #fax
Nothing to see here folks, just an #artwork I made of a dove of peace that DEFINITELY won’t be appearing in an upcoming 6,000-beats-per-minute track’s cover #art...
I have concerns about the possibility of losing my job to robots or AI. The thought of it is distressing, and I worry about how I would manage to pay my bills. It feels like a nightmare, especially since I don't possess any other skills apart from my current occupation in IT. 😰😨
@nixCraft your #IT skills replaced a lot of manual jobs in the last decades, such as typing pools, #telex & #fax operators and slide ruler calculations. I believe #AI (in the end) will create many new #job types and opportunities
Speaking of #faxes … Do you need a free commercial #fax? This Canon Laser Class 3175 with two paper drawers, two lines and lots of programmability can be yours. Pickup in #DFW area. #Free
Are there still film #fax machines out there? We still had some 20 years ago, but since then, all have been laser. Now, we're on virtual faxes, which have their own security issues.
