As far as Brother, that appears to be an optional service. Our business has a contracted printer rental and service because the damn things are so expensive to keep running. Our old office printer used to break down all the time under light usage. We had the maintenance tech out at least 1-2 times a month.
It’s an optional service for now (hopefully forever), but I can see them go the required route, as so many others have gone, and I wouldn’t even be surprised
Luckily there are alternatives to all of these.
Duck duck go can replace Google search. Dropbox can replace Google drive. Firefox can replace Chrome.
Mastodon replaces x / Twitter
Go buy a brother printer instead of HP
As far as Adobe, we do have photopea… The rest are harder.
I wasn’t saying there aren’t alts. And it’s not just Google search. It’s Google, as a company.
Also, brother is not a good alt anymore :(

Eh. We’ll see how long that lasts. All these big firms tend to follow the pack.
Honestly, best hardware decision I’ve made in a while.
