You can only buy Tesla branded electricity for your car, or it will be disabled.
You must only use Federal Reserve dollars, or you shall not be allowed to buy or sell.
HP - Has Problems.
Before long, that will be GOVERNMENT sold electricity.
If this is added after someone bought a HP printer, they should sue. HP has to provide a patch to override the block no matter what in this case. Mybtwo printers are Epson, though my desktop is Hp
They need the Bud Light treatment...
Consistent with what appears to be the business model for many manufacturers of printers - sell the device as cheaply as possible; make a bundle on over-priced ink cartridges for the life of the machine.
I gave up on my cannon printer... its just a scanner now... I scan and email to myself.... and have the local place print it and mail it out if they can.... or take it to the post office a block away... beats paying $30 for ink that drys out in a week.
Instead of disabling the printer, the printer should print angry messages regardless of what the user was printing.
I got an Epson ET-3750 a few years ago from Costco, it’s an all in one machine and wireless. It came with a ton of ink in bottles and you fill internal tanks. I’ve printed thousands of pages and still am on the original ink. You occasionally have to clean the printheads (run a program) but it’s otherwise a fantastic machine.
Thank God we no longer have any Anti Trust Laws!!!!
In my HP laser printer a couple weeks ago, It did a firmware upgrade and it made my scanner quit working, took a couple hours and HP scanner tools, Reinstalling the software it came with wouldn’t make it work. It was a real pain in the ass to get it up and running again. Yes I have TrueImage cartridges in it.
I have literally HATED the printer since I bought it, it came with MeToo Software Factory installed. You literally can NOT do anything without walking over to the damn thing and pushing the OK button.
I will NEVER buy another HP product, it is 4 years old and I am about to toss it in the trash
I got totally away from ink cartridges. The ink “tanks” are cheaper, easier, and don’t need replacement nearly as frequently.
I’ve been either refilling or buying on ebay. Saves a ton of money.
I have blocked that update after I read about it on a different forum. Just don’t update.
I have an Epson tank printer! Gave up on print cartridges 20,000 printed pages ago. I couldn’t be happier. Even though my tank printer can’t print photos, but that’s a small trade off.
Good thing I’ve been ignoring the firmware update on my printer!
It will be worse than that. All your paper money and coins will be void after we switch to digital currency. Govt can withdraw money from your digital balance in bank account for any reason such as disrespecting a trans person, or using a gas range.
I use an HP Laser Jet 400 color printer. This is the way.
Inkjets are for suckers.
Seems this is like John Deere where they fixed the equipment so it could only be repaired by authorized John Deere mechanics. I believe the farmers have sued and won at least one lawsuit against this Fascistic mentality. Fascism - a marriage between business and government where the government colludes with big business oligarchies to confiscate individual property that has been bought and paid for by citizens.
