Best printer 2024, best printer for home use, office use, printing labels, printer for school, homework printer you are a printer we are all printers

After a full year of not thinking about printers, the best printer is still whatever random Brother laser printer that’s on sale.

The Verge published this spam article about the “best printers of 2024” to demonstrate how terrible Google’s search results are. It now appears as the top non-sponsored post if you search “best printer” on Google.

I love a good, informative troll.

    For the record though, I used bing for the duration of 2023, sort of as an experiment to use the ai assistant.

    Bing search is worse that Google by a long shot. I almost always gave up and used Google.

      Honestly, I think almost everything else is worse than Google.

      I set my default to duck duck go, and it’s getting better, but I still fall back on google with some regularity

      well, that was last year, right?
      I wouldn’t bet on Bing search results having gotten better since then, but I would bet on Google search results having gotten worse since then.

      In my experience that’s only been true if you’re letting Google track you post-2020-ish. If you Google via tor or a VPN with no history so Google has no data about you, the results are trash, where Bing/DuckDuckGo (which is just Bing sans non-MS trackers) results are slightly better (although still much worse than Google before it sucked).

      I see a lot of my friends actually use Bing through ChatGPT, and they seem to get better results than Google. That might be what Microsoft is actually optimizing Bing for
