HP CEO Says They Brick Printers That Use Third-Party Ink Because of … Hackers::The company says it wants to protect you from “viruses.” Experts are skeptical.
Amazing how completely absurd things like this come out of their mouths and they expect people to believe it. Insulting is what it is. We’ve had an HP AIO printer for a decade + that is “bricked” because of their stupid DRM. I can’t even use the scanner because we have non-HP ink. Never gonna buy another HP product.
That’s literally a crime. HP exceeded authorized access to your computer (specifically, the microcontroller in your printer) in order to damage it. I don’t know if the criminal complaint should be directed to the FBI or the FTC, but either way, you should file one.
You put the wrong thing in and they take away all functionality.
I, once again, am forced to ask…when do we start burning things?
HP is responsible for PC LOAD LETTER.
Never forget…
What are you complaining about? Those were the glory days of HP.
THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS

The problem is it’s hard to get away with burning down a building unless you’re part of a large mob.

you should organize with you fellow proletariat if thats what you want.
I wont deny this is me being scared to light the first match lol

When will you start burning things? What - specifically - would it take?
I think that basically would be the same answer as your question.
Edit:. Sorry, looks like you probably had this conversation already. Half of the comments look deleted on my end .
Honestly I already admitted it somewhere else. This is just me being chicken shit to fight the first match. But it will take is me being able to blend into a mob that’s already someplace.
