Weekend project: trying to mate an old fax which only speaks "telefone" with a leftover Fritzbox to see if I can turn it into a glitch printer (until that last roll of thermal paper is finished) Claude is currently sweating away on trying to create a custom Fritz firmware.
Here's how I spent my remaining Fable access today: we figured out how to use my old fax machine as a printer by sending it an actual fax through the local network.

So I always thought that "turn the power off and wait for 2 minutes" was complete bullshit, but as it turns out when trying to flash a new firmware onto your Fritzbox it does make a difference and 10 seconds powerless is not enough. Sorry Claude for calling you an idiot.
Looks like it's not as easy as it sounded for the box to send itself a fax. At least I can make it ring already pretty annoyingly.
