Well, that depends on the size of one's derriere.

Vivaldi 7.2 browser wants to topple tech's feudal lords
Nope. You probably can't cash in by turning your office or farm into a datacenter
Techie cleaned up criminally bad tech support that was probably also an actual crime

Scanner stopped working when printer ink ran out
I had an HP Officejet All-In-One printer / A3 scanner which I had to send to landfill because the scanner 'coincidentally' stopped working when non-genuine ink cartridges were rejected. I'd replaced the tiny starter cartridges with extra large non-genuine cartridges containing microchips that were supposed to pass the checks for genuine cartridges. They worked fine for a while, but then the printer wouldn't accept them any more. The starter cartridges had run out so they were rejected too.
Luckily I'd completed scanning the large number of A3 documents which I'd bought the printer/scanner for, but it wasn't worth paying almost the same as the cost of the device to get genuine cartridges. So, it went to landfill and I bought a non-HP laser printer for my occasional printing needs. I'll never buy an HP device again after their deliberate sabotage of my scanner.

Re: I loved the Opera mail client
Another Opera mail user here. When the technical preview of the Vivaldi email client came out I tried to import 10+ years worth of email from Opera. The import only worked partially and on the forum Vivaldi staff didn't seem to regard a working import mechanism to be a priority.
I'll give it another go in case they have sorted the issue, but unless *all* the email is imported this time I'll be sticking to good old Opera. I still prefer folders on Opera to the filters on Vivaldi anyway.
