      Voting with your wallet only works if theres a choice.

      Everytime you buy a printer, you’re voting for more of this BS.

      On basically all of the instances of something like this happening, it has been because they have been using the HP instant ink subscription, where you pay a monthly fee based on how many pages you print, and HP sends you the ink refills as necessary. Skipping the whole issue of having subscriptions for physical devices in the first place, you wouldn’t expect any other subscription like for example Netflix to continue working if your card has expired, and neither does the ink subscription.

      HP is the fucking worst. My ink levels are clearly, at most, 2/3 empty, but then it will just stop printing. Like, the printer’s own sensors can see thay there is still ink left, but prints out faded, unuseable pages. Its infuriating.
