Papers with U.S. State Department markings, found Friday morning in the business center of an Alaskan hotel, revealed previously undisclosed and potentially sensitive details about the Aug. 15 meetings between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir V. Putin in Anchorage.
Eight pages, that appear to have been produced by U.S. staff and left behind accidentally, shared precise locations and meeting times of the summit and phone numbers of U.S. government employees
I didn’t think anyone actually used those business centers.
Well better that than Four Seasons Total Landscaping.
You lug your own printer around on trips?
He travels in a hotel with wings. I’d be astounded if there’s not a printer onboard air force one.
As if he’d ever use computer. That’s scut work for proles.
Exactly, so they’ll need a printer so they can hand him physical copies of new memos/documents while in-flight.
You don’t?
You dont have a fax machine?
You use a printer?
What do you use, quill and ink?
How often are you printing things? I don’t even own a printer. I spend maybe $0.50 a year printing things at the library.
Often enough that having a laser printer at home is vastly more convenient than having to make a special trip to the tree pulp store every time I want a physical copy of a document.
Tax forms, manuals & documentation, tickets & passes, shipping labels, markable documents, patterns …
I’ve never owned a printer, but have always had a job where I could print personal stuff. Highly recommend. My current job, I have a personal laser printer and it’s awesome. I use it to print letters, notes for doctor’s visits, and craft patterns.
and there’s no way I’d trust my phone enough to not print travel tickets. Paper backups ftw.
A personal work printer is the dream! I used to print anything that required a large volume of paper on work printers, but now that I rarely visit the office any more, I just blast everything through my nearing-vintage Brother laser (that replaced the HP laser printer from the '90s).
Those are digital
Also digital
Also digital
These are the couple times a year thing that I print. Well, not patterns. Even “markable documents” I usually do digitally with a stylus. How often are you needing to do these things at a hotel?
Physical backups are not digital. Also, worksheets are easier done with pencil.
Paper manuals are easier to flip through, dog-ear, and move around.
Paper copies of tickets don’t need batteries or wireless service.
The last few times I recall that I needed to print things at a hotel, they involved marriage license forms, credit reports and checklists. Most other times I’m visiting a facility that has a printer should I need anything printed.
Oh, I’ve also had to print out plenty of hardcopy documents for mailing to various government services over the years, including the IRS and SSA.
Not needed, you can backup digitally
Digital is much easier to search with ctrl+f and can be fed to a RAG so you can ask your favorite LLM questions about it
Traveling with a power bank is normal and you can save tickets to your offline wallet on your phone
There is zero chance I’m trusting the security of hotel equipment with those sorts of paperwork.
Right, the once every other year sort of thing and why most people don’t need a printer. I’ve only needed physical print outs for the IRS once. I gather all those forms digitally, encrypt them, and send them to my tax guy.
