West Word for the Alt-Right

Saw West World with Yul Brynner many years ago. it was one one of the first SCIFI movies with robots. Haven't seen the TV version yet, but one of my FaceBook pals, Ruben Betancourt, says it is terrific.

This is a concept for an alt-right version of West World. 

 

Donald Trump is the sheriff is a perfect American town. His deputies are all West World robots who patrol the town to make sure all the towns people fly American flags. The deputies also have mock gunfights with the townspeople for entrancement.

No one got hurt until some Russian and Wikileaks hackers mistakenly break into the West World mainframes, turning the deputy robots into killers. The  deputies start shooting up the villagers who had flag violations. Anyone driving while black in the village was also gunned down.  Women wearing a Hijab or men Wearing turbans  were also attacked.

The Donald called up Jeff Sessions and asked him to send some of his white knights to West Word for help. The militia men drove into town if full Klan regalia in jeeps and humvees.

Gunfights between the robots and the Klan went on for several days until the robo-deputies were driven form the town.

The leader of the robos is named Jules Berner. He is wanted deactivated or alive. 

Sheriff Donald Trump was elated and opened the  town saloon to the victors who we allowed to play grabass with the robo-dance hall girls. Many of the robo-ladies were refurbed Stepford wives.
According to Sheriff trump. all of the robo-ladies are 10's


Ensuing episodes will show  the White Knight and militia men hunting down the escaped robo-deputies, Silicon Valley has built a Underground Railloop to help the robots who are still on the lam.

Canon Imageclass MF4770 printer maintenance mode

My Canon MF4770 multifunction printer could send an receive faxes, but could not print faxes that were received.  So I thought,  time for a new printer.

It's an amazing laser printer that can copy, print  and fax, They are usually about $100 when on sale.

Canon technical may not be much help unless you fax them a receipt showing you own the canon printer. Some of the Canon multifunction printers are CARP raster scanning printers. It is hard to find Linux drivers for these printers. The MF 4770 works great in Linux Mint 17 and 18. The updated version, the MF216n doe not have a Linux driver. If you can't find a Canon printer driver on Canon USA, try Canon UK.

If you bought your printer through Staples or Office Depot in the past couple of years, you my be able to go to their respective web sites, create an online account and download proof of your past purchases.

There are a lot of solutions on the Internet for getting into Canon Maintenance mode. Suspect there are different sequences for different Canon printers. Once you get into maintenance mode, the options may be different based up the firmware version.

This particular sequence works on a MF4770 with a boot ROM of 1.07.

Press Menu, then 2, 8 and Menu again. 

Most problems can be cleared by by going into COPIER, FUNCTION, CLEAR, ALL. This printer should then reboot.

Use the back key  to back out of the maintenance menus. 

Then turn the printer off and back on again. 

Tried the maintenance fix on my old MF4770. after clearing the copier functions it was able to receive faxes again.
