If you're reading this, Linux is easy. Jump over. It's great.

I can't, but my unifi gives me the same IP address that the printer says it has. I believe it's a part of the same subnet and there are no vlans as far as I'm aware.
I can try the IP on windows.
I'm not certain how I would check which wifi mechanism my phone is using.
I appreciate all the troubleshooting.

I mean... True. But my computer is Linux and my partner's computer is windows (for now 😈).
But like... What matters is the printer doesn't connect and therefore I'm upset. So framework come out with a printer.

When I was on windows it could not print over the network. My partner who is still on windows can't either.
All the cables are good I've checked them myself.
Neither of our Firewalls should be set up to block it, although I admit I could have made a mistake here if the default config and one with minor tweaks would prevent it on both Linux and windows.
Network config is largely untouched although again I could have made a mistake here on Linux and windows.
The switch is ubiquity and so is the dream machine, I assume they're very capable.

Sure, but how. If the printer is plugged into a switch which my computer is plugged into, both going to the same router, why is there a network problem that could cause this?

Ya, I wish I could tell you what it is. Maybe I'm just not getting it - some simple step or something - or maybe I bought a weird model and it happens to be problematic everytime I've bought one (2 or 3 printers from them now).
I'd love to click print on my PC and hear the machine whirl up in the other room but right now I can only get that to happen if I have it directly connected to my PC.

My Brother printer does not connect to my Linux computer over Ethernet on the same network no matter what I do. I have to physically connect PC to the printer for it to work. It also doesn't wirelessly work with it. I can only wirelessly talk to it through my phone using their app.
I hate printers. The moment someone offers a high quality, non-scummy, easy to use in every basic scenario printer compatible with Linux I will buy it and never stop buying it until something changes in those categories. Laser, inkjet, whatever. My use cases are hex maps and legal documents. If I could get a printer that made TCG quality cards in my house I'd buy that as well for a substantial price but that's because my childhood was saturated with card games and their animated shows. I digress.
Please make a good printer. Brother was supposed to be that but I've not had any success with their stuff for the past 6 or 7 years, even on windows.
Ya, I can't believe how negative people are towards LTT. That channel is the reason I de-googled when I did, dove into home assistant, even checked out Linux (and now use arch full time by the way). I'm not super interested in defending a company let alone a YouTube personality, but like Jesus Christ some most of the people commenting negatively about LTT need to chill the fuck out. They're not that bad, they clearly pay people well, they're open and honest about most shit. If your bullshit detector is going off with LTT I think it needs tuning because you're probably hitting a lot of false negatives IMHO.
I have no doubt being as wealthy as Linus is is changing him, I have no doubt that's effecting the company, but there's nothing I'm seeing as a regular watcher that is glaringly bad or evil and I recognize in myself I'm actively starting to default to "fuck off" for millionaires so like ┐( ̄ヘ ̄)┌. I don't think the channel is getting grandfathered in on that clause either, they just seem to like people doing their best.
I don't like Linus's time-theft stance as of late, the most recent multi monitors vid had a comedic discussion between him and an employee and I recognize his job in that role is to be the straight man and say time charging fraud is theft or whatever but it feels out of touch. That's a negative thing I can point to I guess. Am I gonna consider Linus or LTTY evil or shit because he's vocal about theft being theft even though I think corpos can fuck off because they're getting more productivity then we're getting paid - no, no I'm not.
You are either misunderstanding me or misunderstanding the conceptual differences between debt, money, and wealth.
A nation can absolutely be debt free and wealthy - there's a world where a country owns many things (wealth) and owes no money to anyone (debt free). "Creating money" as you put it is accomplished by the government creating money and then spending money on things. Debt does not have to come into the picture for money (literal currency) to be created and spent. Loans (I think the most common form is bonds for the government but I'm actually not sure) are a way for the government to spend money they don't have by borrowing it (debt). This is good if you use that money to grow the governments revenue, the nations revenue, or the nations productivity (building schools, funding healthcare, building public transit, etc). It's sometimes bad when you use it to buy temporary services or fund inefficient projects or when the money leaves the nation entirely (sending money to a corporation based in the US that spends little to no money here, for instance. A military contract for instance fully built in another country gives us an expensive product we may not use and which no money recirculates in our nation).
So no, I am not for zero debt at the government level - I very plainly think government debt is a good thing in reasonable quantities and when that money is spent on the improvement of the nation and its people. I think too much debt becomes a noose around the annual budget and slowly errodes the governments ability to do its job. I also think any debt spent poorly is as foolish as it would be for anyone to spend money poorly - except in this case it's everyone's money being wasted and it's a gateway to corruption and the further enrichment of the wealthy.
So I believe what Merz is doing is bad for the country because they're spending money we don't have inefficiently on companies that are not wholly based in Germany and will not produce efficiency or quality of life gains for the German populace. Furthermore, doing this entirely through debt when there is a way to generate sufficient income AND benefit the average German is incompetent at best and evil at worst. We could tax the wealthy such that we could do this stupid deal AND not go into further debt, which is obviously more ideal than this stupid deal and debt. Just like doing a good deal and going into further debt would be better than both of those.
Yes, we should focus on improving the lives of Germans and accumulating wealth in the form of education, public housing, public infrastructure, clinics and Apothekes and energy farms, and strengthening our farming infrastructure, etc. All the things a good government would be doing, instead of selling off bits and pieces of itself while cutting services to their citizens while spending money on foreign contracts for a war the rich want because it means more inefficient spending in companies they have stocks in.
Tax the ultra wealthy and invest in the country and its people. Build wealth as a nation! Invest in rail and schooling and walkable cities and watch things flourish.
I'm new to Germany but this seems pretty on par for the FDP. I haven't seen or read a single thing that's shown me the party as a whole is interested in actual public service. After their sabotage of the traffic light coalition the party should be publicly shunned.
I think it's a bit reductive to point to one moment and focus there. It can always get worse and the current CDU are working to make it so.
But also thank you for the opportunity to read about German history more. I need to learn more.
That seems wrong based on what I've read so far about Die Linke, but also haven't the CDU increased our reliance on Russia and shut off our nuclear? Merz putting us in further debt to give money to the military complex is not the same as being anti-russia or aggression. Where are the increased sanctions and taxes? Where is the armament and reinforcing of Ukraine (and the other eastern countries) that is meaningfully different than what Germany's policies have been before?
I have no reason to believe Merz, who would sell his neighbors into poverty if it meant enriching his friends, is willing or able to standup to trump and Putin. But I hope I'm wrong about this.
I'd also love to see any source for that. I haven't had the time to work through their full policy book but my point isn't really that Die Linke is the best - it's that their tax policy would have been effective. We the people could demand all parties adopt a similar policy strategy. The AFD and the CDU won't because they serve corporate masters but this is also a good test for the SPD (whom I'm starting to suspect are more akin to the status quo Democrats from the US) and the Greens (whom I've not been able to form an opinion on).
Hey, as someone in Germany do you have a link for this? I would absolutely love to buy something under a grand and pop it on my balcony.
I mean, we should care about the debt. We as a nation should be accumulating wealth and spending it to increase productivity to the benefit of all citizens (and residents). That's the point of a country in my eyes. We should be working towards working less and having more and doing so sustainably and peacefully.
A little bit of debt is fine, you use it to pay for increased growth or invest into things that can give you reduced costs later. But the CDU want to sell off the country's wealth, give the money they raise to the rich, and cut the benefits of being a German citizen (and resident) at the same time. They are working against every Germans interest and they are doing so loud and clearly.
Casual reminder that Die Linke had a tax plan that would have paid off the debt and all new expenditures the CDU introduced without any issues. Instead the CDU has put us and our children further into debt.
Unless all of the rich megadoners die at the same instance, nothing will fundamentally change. We're in a class war, not a Democrat vs Republican war. Trump may be the man leading the consolidation of power push today, but the reason that movement is working is the environment being ripe for the movement.
Trump dies and the minimum wage doesn't go up, fox news doesn't dissolve, and taxes on the rich sure as hell don't start up. Nothing fundamentally changes, and with the state of all the fundamental and important agencies worsened and delegitimized things probably worsen significantly for those orgs and their services in the short term while power is redistributed, reconsolidated, and resolidified.
Trump dying would likely just be the temporary slow down of the currently inevitable decline. You're right to say things get more chaotic and there is a large opportunity for things to improve or change - but believing the GOP disappears, and therefore we enter into a utopia, seems to ignore the underlying cause for their existence in the first place. The rich and powerful want to remain rich and powerful, and ideally become more so, at the expense of everyone else so they fund systems that further those goals.
Your original response was responding to someone saying infinite growth isn't possible. You were stating it's 100% supposed to be infinite. I was saying that it's neither tied to actual resources (not GDP) nor is it 100% necessary. It's inherently forced and "number go up" is not necessarily good economic policy - which is pretty obvious to see given the state of the world as GDP and the stock markets are increasingly detached from the majority of human metrics and therefore reality.
So I think it's very relevant to your original comment, especially when considering we're talking about economic policy on a website that doesn't assume a massive degree of financial literacy because saying things here out of context become truths to people who don't know better. This propagates a poor understanding of how our financial system works imo so accuracy is hopefully appreciated.
I liked the technical discussion so thank you. Keep it up, I got into this career because there was always so much to learn.
