I enjoyed this read, but:

> For the recipient, a fax is a physical reality. It requires paper. It requires ink. It requires time.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was also digital.

> I imagined Karen’s fax machine. It was probably an old, beige beast sitting in the corner of a gray office. It was likely low on paper. It was almost certainly low on patience.

I think the rest of the article was also their imagination.

> "Sir, please. You have to stop the fax. It’s… it’s been printing for an hour. It’s jamming the machine. We’re out of toner."

People only speak like this in fan-fiction.

Agreed. This is fiction. A mere 500 pages isn't going to exhaust the toner of a printer installed specifically to recieve faxes all day, every day.

And there being an actual printer is even less likely. Even back in 2008, it was almost impossible to find an actual fax machine, even though businesses had fax numbers, they stopped needing machines.
