    I must buy a printer soon. Thank you for reminding me to avoid HP products.

    Anytime a company reduces the functionality of a device through software or firmware they should have to offer to buy back the hardware. The depreciation rate should be set at time of purchase so you know how much you get if they neuter it a year from now.

    Or they could like… just not be dicks and supply firmware updates without the lock-in, instead of having to trade off security to use your device however you want.

    Oh BROTHER, not this again.

    On a more serious note, I’ve been all about brother printers for a few years now and couldn’t be happier.
