HP wants you to pay up to $36/month to rent a printer that it monitors in c/technology

[–] kmirl 27 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I bought an HP m281 mfp printer 3-4 years ago and disabled automatic firmware updates when I was setting it up. Not too long after that I read that a new firmware release prevented 3rd party cartridges from working.

Anyway I bought new ink cartridges a couple of years ago after getting pop-ups saying the ink was getting low. Thing is, I haven't had to install them yet because despite the warnings the printer has been printing just fine with the original cartridges.

So in addition to blocking 3rd party cartridges HP is also lying about how much ink their cartridges contain.

F.U. HP.

I don't know but am curious--honestly I bought the app just to support the developer.

Same! I paid for the app as soon as I got it installed. I used Boost for reddit for years and loved it. It looks great so far!

As a 14-year long user, the new Fisher Price UI makes me sad :( What have they done to you, Reddit? in c/reddit

It is available, for now. I refuse to use reddit's terrible mobile app, so when they kill old.reddit.com I'll be gone for good.
