Hp and Microsoft are two sides of the same shit coin.
Do a lot of tech support for older retired professionals. I believe 90% of hps business are these people. They used their products when they were working and believe they are still a reliable product.
Between the ink subscriptions and the absolute nightmare of that fucking app have had 7 hp printers stop working since January exclusively because of software.
There was an article on here a while ago showing the sticker that hp put over the usb port in an effort to get you to register the product and use their app. It’s literally a sticker covering the port direct from the manufacturer. Saw one in real life last month and was still dumbfounded.
Everyone wants you on the subscription tit it seems.
