USB printers print random garbage, OpenSSH still broken

What broke

The January preview update for Windows 11 22H2/23H2 joined the USB printer garbage party — dual-mode printers started printing random text and network commands instead of documents. OpenSSH continued its four-month streak of refusing to start, a bug Microsoft had acknowledged back in October but apparently couldn’t prioritize fixing on the operating system used by most of the planet. The printer issue wouldn’t be resolved until late March, giving users nearly two months of wondering what their printer was trying to tell them.
