    1. And before you say, “Well, why don’t you use an Ethernet cable and buy non-HP ink cartridges?” Well, I did, but that’s not the point. The point is, I bought a friggin’ printer and feel like I should be able to use the darn thing without a subscription or maintenance fee. I’m a firm believer in OWNING WHAT I PAY FOR. I’m not the only one who feels that way (Louis Rossman and the FULU Foundation are big on owning what you buy). I would rather deal with the hassle of typing up several pages on a typewriter than deal with a stupid subscription-based printer. The need to get away from the constant bombardment of ads, subscriptions, and owning nothing is a big part of why physical media is coming back, at least according to Rolling Stone. Streaming sucks, anyway.

    1. What Amber explained was exactly what I’d feared: through the Apple Music subscription, which I had, Apple now deletes files from its users’ computers. When I signed up for Apple Music, iTunes evaluated my massive collection of Mp3s and WAV files, scanned Apple’s database for what it considered matches, then removed the original files from my internal hard drive. REMOVED them. Deleted.
