My wife bought one of these pieces of shit before we got together. A few months back I finally got to the point where I had the “honey we need to throw out your printer and get a new one.”
“OK - should we give it to my sister or see if any of our friends want this?”
“I’m not sure I dislike any of your friends or family enough to inflict this much frustration on them.”
How in the fuck is HP still alive? The company should crash and burn.
Well…they make other products too. I’m sure Laptop/Desktop/Server department transferred some money to Printer department
I used to work in a large oil company for a decade. Around 2018, everyone got new HP laptops with touch screen. We’re talking 20.000 permanent employees, and more than 40.000 externals (externals did not get a laptop). After a couple of weeks, people started complaining about the fan making a lot of noise.
After HP checked the laptops, it turned out that the fan was not powerful enough. Their solution? Limit the CPU speed. And my company just agreed. Fuck that noise!!!
I already started boicotting them in 2009, when i purchased a computer, which had an S-video. But it didn’t work. Went to the store that sold it, they told me to contact HP. I did, and they just told me that it was a error on the entire laptop series, and that I should’ve known about it before I purchased the laptop.
Go fuck yourself, HP!
People sure like to just toss the word “brick” around. These printers are still functional enough to get another firmware update to fix them. You know what can’t? Bricks
Yeah, can we go back to when “brick” had a very specific definition with respect to electronics?
You’re funny. It’s 2025, words no longer have any meaning.
It used to make me mad. Now it just makes me sad.
It hurt itself in it’s confusion!
