- chihuahuaI was not as surprised as the author that a 1980s printer doesn't support Unicode. Possibly because I owned a Star SG-10 around 1985 or 86.
- avgDevI find it funny that it only prints the headlines from reddit, true reddiots only read the headlines and the comments.

- reaperducerThis is good because it's the daily news. Meaning, it ends. You get informed, not addicted.That's one reason I use dead trees. The news ends. I get informed, and I'm the customer not the continuously-scrolling feed addict.Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to be on top of every breaking news event. If there's something very important that you must know about, you will hear sirens or see an orange glow on the horizon.
- olivierestsageNice work. (The author is right, that printing ASMR in the video is incredible.)
- kjs3I found a nearly new daisy wheel printer in my storage. Something like this might be a good use of it.
- crims0nBeen thinking of doing something similar, I have an Apple ImageWriter and Atari 1025 sitting in my basement. Does anyone know how long dot matrix ink ribbons last new?
- LtWorfI feel like the author cannot tell a serial and a parallel port apart?
