Get cheaper prints than ever with Brother’s new all-in-one home office printer

By Gannon Burgett Published October 13, 2017

Office technology manufacturer Brother has lowered the barrier to entry in its INKvestment lineup of printers with the release of its all-in-one MFC-J775DW printer.

For those who missed the news last year, Brother’s INKvestment lineup of printers is designed to reduce the cost of printing both black-and-white and color pages through high-yield cartridges and duplex (two-sided) printing. According to Brother, using its high-yield ink cartridges can reduce the cost of printing black and white pages to just one cent and color pages to just five cents.

Like its predecessors, the MFC-J985DW, MFC-J5830DW and MFC-J6535DW, the MFC-J775DW doesn’t offer anything new or revolutionary in the world of home office inkjet printing. Instead, it focuses on providing simple, reliable printing without costing you an arm and a leg.

The MFC-J775DW works with smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktops through either wireless connectivity or a single USB port. Documents can be printed through mobile devices using Google Cloud Print, Morris, Wi-Fi Direct, and Brother’s own iPrint&Scan functionality. It can even connect to cloud drive services including: Google Drive, Evernote, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, and OneNote to print documents from the cloud.

Accessing the settings and navigating the menu is done using the integrated 1.8-inch color display, which is placed alongside a collection of other navigational and input buttons on the front face of the printer.

Similar to the other printers in Brother’s INKvestment lineup, this entry-level printer is designed with the home office in mind. It doesn’t have all of the bells and whistles higher-end printers offer, but that’s what its more robust siblings are for. If you’re looking for an all-in-one solution that can print, scan, copy, and fax documents, it has you covered.

The MFC-J775DW is available for order online exclusively at Staples and will make its way into physical Staples stores by November. The standard printer package, which comes with a single set of ink retails for $150. A special INKvestment package, which comes with three sets of ink cartridges, is also available for $250. Brother says the INKvestment package should have enough ink for two years worth of printing.

macOS clipboard app Maccy has a fake out there stealing passwords

PamStealer malware is disguising itself as Maccy to target Mac users

Depicting of the Maccy clipboard app for macOS on a laptop with letters inb the background.

A fake version of Maccy, a popular clipboard manager for macOS, is being used to deliver a newly discovered Mac malware strain called PamStealer. Researchers at Jamf say the malware impersonates the real open-source app, but its actual purpose is to steal data and capture a victim’s login password.

PamStealer arrives as a disk image containing an AppleScript file that impersonates Maccy. Once the user opens that file, macOS launches it in Script Editor, where the on-screen instructions tell them to press Command-R. To someone expecting a normal app installer, that may look like an odd setup step. In reality, that action runs hidden malware code and starts the attack.

A new technology teaching drones to feel pain could stop your self-driving car from harming itself

Drones first, autonomous cars next. A pain-sensing system that detects failure before it happens has real stakes for self-driving vehicles.

Transportation, Vehicle, Car

When you sprain your ankle in the middle of a run, your body sends a pain signal to your brain, forcing you to stop. Essentially, the ability to sense pain stops you from pushing through the injury and causing further self-harm.

Researchers at Delft University of Technology and Wageningen University have applied this exact concept to drones, giving them a digital equivalent of a nervous system that recognizes a faulty part and triggers a pain-like warning signal. What's even more interesting is that the technology could find use in self-driving cars.

Claude Fable 5 is leaving subscriptions, but maybe not for good

High demand is pushing Claude Fable 5 out of subscriptions for now

Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 Official Render

Anthropic’s most advanced publicly available Claude model is still leaving standard subscription access after July 7, but the company is now trying to calm fears that the move is permanent.

Fable 5 recently returned to Claude after drawing scrutiny from the U.S. government. Anthropic said it would be included on Pro, Max, Team, and select Enterprise plans for up to 50% of weekly usage limits through July 7. After that date, the model is set to move to usage-credit billing, meaning users will pay for access outside their regular plan limits.
