I hate that everything now is a subscription service instead of buying it and do whatever you want.

I have one of the complicated brother ones that scans and prints, including double sides, in colour, and it's a tank. Works fine in Linux too. Connected or through the network.

It even does fax, which someone, somewhere probably finds useful.

Doctors offices and health insurance. It’s weird but technically fax machines are still considered “secure” communications for sending PHI. Sending it across the internet requires a lot of expensive hoops to jump through, or they could just buy a fax machine.

Send signed email. Done.

Bunch of weirdos, that's what they are.

Funny thing is those faxes are going through internet anyway most of the time.

Where I live fax are considered a legal proof contrary to emails.

So for important contracts it is considered safer than mails.

And honestly it kinda is since an email can totally end up never being recieved without any kind of error or warning. A fax you should know immediately that it wasn't received on the other end.

I still wish fax would disappear soon but an email is not a good replacement.

Emails are now considered the defacto standard for businesses but they suck and are absolutely not reliable.
