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

    Ask an LLM what a worksheet is, then. Glad you tacitly agree about the ease of referencing a paper copy, though.

    I frequently reference manuals that range from one page to the order of five thousand pages. The shorter ones are clearly more easy to use without a device in the way.

    How much are you on your phone that you need a power bank to get through a normal day? I think there’s a separate underlying issue here. Also, I just happened to buy some tickets that had no digital wallet option, so I printed them out for ease. No need to fumble around with a phone and dig for a PDF when I can just whip a piece of paper out of my pocket in a fraction of a second.

    Not even all correspondence with the IRS is e-filing. The SSA I explicitly mentioned also does lots of physical paperwork. And I forgot, the other day I got a form that I need to print and mail for some lab work my wife needs to send out. Pretty difficult to digitize samples.

    It’s weird how hung up you’ve become on the fact that printing is common and useful.

      No thanks, I don’t care what it is.

      It strongly depends on use case

      How much are you on your phone that you need a power bank to get through a normal day

      Lol, thanks for making my point for me? A normal day you don’t need to worry about battery life. I specified traveling.

      No need to fumble around with a phone and dig for a PDF when I can just whip a piece of paper out of my pocket

      The thing is, you flip that statement around and it still makes sense. No need to fumble around with a piece of paper that I have to protect from the elements and getting destroyed or lost when I can just open the pdf on my phone.

      Not even all correspondence with the IRS is e-filing

      I didn’t say it was… But, my tax guy is there for that.

      The SSA I explicitly mentioned also does lots of physical paperwork

      Not a ton of people constantly dealing with the SSA.

      And I forgot, the other day I got a form that I need to print and mail for some lab work my wife needs to send out. Pretty difficult to digitize samples

      Wtf, all medical paperwork is digital these days. They usually create a portal for you that includes your results, records, and billing.

      You’re still completely ignoring the intent of the joke and the context of the conversation in an extreme attempt to justify to yourself your own use of a printer. If you want to use a printer and the hotel printer, have at it.
