I feel badly for anyone who doesn’t know to avoid HP printers (or really anything else). What a shitty shameful turn for a company founded by engineers.
HP's New Printer 'Update' Is Making Everyone Mad.
@Pat_Walrond I stopped when I saw how much yellow ink/toner they burn through making “invisible” unique identifier marks. Wasteful, AND kinda Big Brotherish. It’s a pity, because once they were great.
@MookyTroubadour Hmm, was this first introduced when Carly Fiorini was in charge? Sounds like it...
@John_Ripley funny you should mention her. I was working at HP (as a contractor) in that era, and they’d pipe in her all-hands audio to the building PA system. You couldn’t escape her ramblings even in the shitter.
I’m also reminded of the joke “Carly Fiorina” is how Arnold Schwarzenegger says ‘California’. Heh.
@MookyTroubadour I've been off them since the 80s when they couldn't manage to produce pure black.
