Had a client today with a scanner issue and this happens.
I haven’t seen a TWAIN error in at least 20 years.
fucking TWAIN drivers were the bane of my existence at one time.
fucking Windows 98!
Ya, this pic just gave me flashbacks. I thought I had buried that for good.
This photo perfectly encapsulates TWAIN in a nutshell.
I scrolled back thinking wtf is TAIWAN error 💀
Didn’t you get the memo?
'Twas a success.
There’s no softwaregore community?
NAPS2 is great but also incredibly painful
It has been a long time but I think WIA worked better when I used it
“Well, that dog won’t hunt!”
Task failed successfully.
I seem to remember some annoying shit called TWAIN from decades ago, which was always giving me errors and headache. Is that still a thing?
It still is, it’s a standard for imaging devices. Honestly aside from it being annoying, it was and is a decent attempt at a standard for scanners coming from an era of driver standards as a pipe dream. Try that with printers, ever. And also a nightmare.

Oh, thank you. I had forgotten that!
And also a nightmare.
Yes. Now that the memories are coming back, I do notice most of them aren’t very nice…

I thought this was .ml for a second /s.
People are worried about the end of Win 10 and this mad lad still uses ancient wizardry
Why is the ghost of Mark Twain haunting your scanner?
It’s an acronym: T.W.A.I.N. (edit: a backconym, as was pointed out - I’ve also heard that the weird upper case name came first, and the weirder acronym was added later.)
“Technology without an interesting name.”
And… That’s all I remember about it, at the moment.
Well, also that it broke often, and threw weird errors like the one pictured.
You folks printed out his works for the last time.
I always hated “Error: No Error Has Occurred”
Mainly because it had no button to close or acknowledge, so you had to reset your machine.
We all thought AI gonna rule us over by force, but in reality they just gonna gaslight all of us.
