I’ll start: printers.

I bought an HP in March 2020 when my job went remote and HP bricked it remotely after only 100 pages because I wouldn’t sign up for their subscription program. Ended up trashing a perfectly good printer.

Luckily my library’s close by and I can print there remotely.

    Why the hell would they use hp cartridges?!

    Edit

    Oh it’s refillable, that’s fine then

      No, it’s not. They aren’t built to last regardless of being refillable. They’ll need to be replaced.

        They used that generic design, not actual HP cartridges. You don’t have to order a replacement from HP, there are several third party refillable cartridge manufacturers, and 3-D printer designs for the cartridges.
