The ones before chipped toners were great. I keep on refilling the original starter cartridge with $10 toner powder, no need to reset or anything like that. It just works. Spectacular price/performance ratio.

It’s kind of a bummer that Brother are going down the DRM’d cartridge route too. Maybe enshittification is inevitable for Brother too, they are just taking longer to get there.

Funny thing is, once the original toner is due for replacement I'm going to replace it with an original one. My fear with DRMed cartridge is not that I can't use aftermarket one, it's me buying original that might not work reliably due to complexity of the DRM.
