I have a 70+ year old friend that paper files. She doesn’t trust the free file places available here (USA). I don’t blame her.

Ysk - You can order the forms for free on the IRS (& state) websites.

I print things for her on my 1999 laser jet if she needs something printed.

Many years I paper filed just to inconvenience them slightly for not offering free file.

Is there a community for those of us with late 90s early 2000 HP laserjets? Somewhere we can discuss maintenance, feeding, and overall care?

Do you want more Anonymous? Because that’s how you get more Anonymous…

As a business person, my first order of business is always to piss off the red teams and then cut them loose. Not these people would do anything illegal or untoward… that we’d know about.

quite a bit /s mixed in there

In college, early 90s, our student IDs had our photo and SSN on it

I’ve operated ever since under rhe assumption anyone and everyone has access to it.

Then with all the data breaches over the last 10/15 years? Freeze credit reports with the 3 reporting agencies for free. Check for extra accounts with the free annual credit report pulls.

For all practical purposes, our SSNs are easily obtained by someone who wants it.

I’m not sure what the solution is, but a unique identifier has to be housed somewhere where in can be accessed in a format humans can read, which means it can be accessed and dumped so it’s no longer private or secret.

I’m not a fan of biometrics, and I tolerate 2FA. I really think it’s more important we change how we think about and use personal, unique, identifiers (like SSNs)
