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.
It’s always so sad to see how far HP has fallen. They used to be such an innovative company and produce so many good products but then they decided to not anymore.
more often than not, it’s in the name of security
Surely this actually cuts into their profits in the longer term? More and more people will simply refuse to buy HP hardware. If they don’t, they deserve to get grifted to high heavens and back at this point.
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.
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?
Honestly I think a lot of people are like me. Waiting for other people to start something.
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 .
