To be fair, this has been pretty standard corporate-speak in most industries for a long time. It’s (typically) referring to giving people a reason to stay with your product - we used to use this exact phrase in reference to our complementary training programmes that were included with the product.
But, this is HP, so locked in means LOCKED IN. So, fuck HP 😂
Yeah, if it was just a subscription and you could halt it but still use what you paid for it would be fine, but they shut off access as soon as you halt your subscription. people have full ink they can’t use. For that reason I will never buy HP printers. ironically this week HP auto insalled an HP printer Assistant app on my workstation, and I don’t have am HP printer. So that got deleted immediately along with all HP support and driver tools.
What they don’t mention is that some of their printers don’t work on the 5ghz band, which means that it’s difficult to get it to work with newer routers and band switching. This also breaks usb printing and wifi direct printing. Print anywhere barely works and other fun times since trying out one of their printers.
