The suit, filed earlier this year, argues that HP all-in-one printers stop all functions when ink levels reach some arbitrary point.

Haven’t bought a HP since their support told me to just buy a new printer and that the warning message wasn’t going away even though they could not confirm anything was wrong with it

Oh, I can’t wait to get a $10 check while the lawyers get $30,000,000.

I don’t care who wins.

I just want HP to lose.

My desires are more complicated.

I want all of HP, Canon, Epson, and Xerox to lose. And more than that, I want them all to go out of business from a sharp plummet in sales.

Brother can claim victory if they want, everyone seems to agree they’re the safe choice.

This is great news… if HP loses we might all be rewarded $1.89 for years of extortion-level ink prices! Problem solved!1!!

Don’t worry, the lawyers who win these type of case will be able to afford lots and lots of happy meals. They typically are the only ones who ever make out in the end.

founders Bill Hewlett and David Packard were so customer trusting and had such probity that it revolutionized corporate america and empowered startups to bootstrap from nothing. if they saw what became of their reputation they would’ve forced a name change. thanks Carly Fiorina for destroying an amazing institution. I hope your resume refuses to scan.

They were engineers, and made stuff they liked and were proud of, and it showed. When they exited the leadership roles, the MBAs took over and it was all downhill from there.

It’s amazing how so many MBAs can tank a business. I’m seeing the same thing in my organization: as the number of people who have ever worked in the field decreases relative to the MBAs, things get worse, in both cultural and functional ways.

Half the PMs in my company have MBA degrees and they’re all morons.

Want to cosplay as a person with a MBA from Wharton?

Snort a bunch of coke, drive a expensive car you bought with loan money and micromanage while vaguely gesturing and quoting Wolf of Wall Street

You know, I’m starting to have a stronger dislike of MBAs than I do lawyers. Even though lawyers were the traditional wiping boys.

Lawyers get a bad rap. If you are ever falsely accused of a crime, you’re going to really wish you had a lawyer.

MBAs are agents of decay and corruption.

You still see a lot of businesses today using HP lasers from as early as 1990. Crazy that operating systems today still support some seriously old printers. It’s also remarkable how good HP used to be before right around the time they merged with Compaq.
