"Making an investment in the customer" translates to "turning the customer into a perpetually paying wallet". That's a very predatory way to view a customer.

[PSYCHOVNM]

HP's CEO is a perfect example of why I refuse to support certain companies.

[bituniverse]

Ah, HP’s CEO. The example of what happens when people become numbers

[NeedHealer]

If we didnt start adding chips to the ink cartridges then there'd be no possibility of them hacking anything, but I wonder who's fault was that

[billyeveryteen]

The amount of mental and verbal gymnastics on display by the HP CEO is dizzying.

[BrandEver]

He's right, if they let just anybody make printer cartridges, they could be full of viruses and malware. That's why printers are so secure, they don't have any other methods of hacking them, like USB ports or a wifi connection.

[fnunez]

Ah, Hewlett-Packard. The company that told Steve Wozniak that this "personal computer" thing he showed them had no commercial future, is still going strong.

[Bare_Essence]

I've also published a paper that states not having a chip in the ink cartridges also prevents security issues. Did HP no think of that?

[GrimOfDonuts]

If the cartridges didn’t need smart cups for proving just first part, then there be no virus 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Furious]

Back when I sold printers to folks in a certain office supply store, they'd head straight for the HP Inkjets because that's what they were familiar with. I felt good about approaching every one of these customers and saying, "Before you decide, let me tell you about these Brother models over here."

[lordcommandernox]

Can wait to for Intel to announce their new Pentium CPU

[knivesng]

I feel like “rentable units” is a joke on Gen-Z and millennials. 😂

[Dave-rdsp]

We desperately need a tech startup that sells no BS printers. Go for the weak spot, Palworld style.

[andytsai]

Well gotta give the HP CEO props for being honest and comes out with the fact on wringing customer dry; it's diverting the blame to shareholders, though I doubt it means anything now.

[ilovelimpfries]

Unless there's a 50% jump across the range from the current gpu stack, it's not worth upgrading considering how much they're asking for it.

[juances]

You know how you can prevent viruses from your cartdriges... by not putting chips on them! The system they created isn't to protect against this threat rather it's what introduced the threat in the first place lol.

[JoachimSauer]

I might be showing my age, but I'd have gone for some kind of "slim shady" pun when SLIM couldn't get its solar panels to work.

[PurplePanda]

I'm hyper, and my shirt is threaded.

[epicnicity]

So they include chips in their ink cartridges because allowing you to fill a reusable cartridge with plain ink would allow viruses in the ink to infect your network. got it.

[mattbell]

Every time I hear about newer printers I'm more glad I spent $150 on parts and fixed my own printer a few years ago. I need this thing to last till I die
