I mean, I think the dystopian is in having a potentially useful item someone literally throws away being locked down to attempt to mandate more consumption for profit while literally punishing re-use as the world burns from overconsumption.
In almost all cases, if someone found a printer like this, they wouldnt be able to successfully contact the previous owner, much less get them to unlock it. I've seen so many idiots over the years be angry at people for dumpster diving like trash is somehow sacred.
