I’ll start: printers.
I bought an HP in March 2020 when my job went remote and HP bricked it remotely after only 100 pages because I wouldn’t sign up for their subscription program. Ended up trashing a perfectly good printer.
Luckily my library’s close by and I can print there remotely.
I have an old Brother laser printer which absolutely rocks. But I also have an HP flatbed scanner that has never come out of the box because of their bullshit.
Yup, if I were still a buyer of printers, that’s what I’d get.
Is there scanner bullshit now too?
Scanner is fine but there are layers of bullshit with needing to install their app and store stuff in their cloud.
