From my point of view HP printers are a bad investment.
tl;dr - salty ceo is salty
“We have seen that you can embed viruses into cartridges, through the cartridge go to the printer, from the printer go to the network, so it can create many more problems for customers.”
Seems like it’s a problem of their own making tbh…
No kidding. “We’ve allowed our cartridges to arbitrarily execute code. It’s the user’s fault.”
Hey, we need a robust serial connection to our cartridges for checking ink levels. Nothing more basic would do. /s
Looks like we’re at an impasse; customers don’t want to make a bad investment by using HP either.
Nah, that’s a good agreement. Sociopathic CEO tells customers to fuck off, customers tell him to fuck off. They all fuck off in agreement. Customers are happy without HP, I wonder how HP will de without customers.
That said, it seems customers or even profits are not essential to running a public company these days, all you need is investors.
This CEO has defended HP’s actions by stating the need to protect intellectual property and highlighting potential issues and security risks associated with non-HP cartridges.
Go fucking jump in a pit of lava, Lores.
