Somehow paying for Netflix is fine but god forbid I want to watch a 10 hour loop of the DS9 intro without ads.

You think that's bad? Mention you use a HP printer sometime. I dare you to try it.

Trigger warning:

I have an HP inkjet printer attached to my Windows 11 machine playing YouTube Premium in Chrome without an ad blocker.

Edit: it's a joke, people.

How else are you supposed to print out your favorite videos?

Has HP started blocking ad-blockers? Seriously it wouldn’t surprise me.

[–] Redrum714@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well owning a HP inkjet is an objectively stupid thing to do.

Thanks for proving my point!

This just makes me sad for you.

Eh, HP has always worked fine for us. I have two sitting here, actually - one is an all-in-one from ~2009 that we printed our wedding programs on when it was new, and it still works fine, but ink is getting harder to find for it, and we had a scare with the irreplaceable print head a few years ago (I got it working, using HP's "try this if you're out of options, but it's unlikely to work" directions, but we realized it was probably time to consider replacing it).

The other is a few years old and is one of the ones with the subscription service. We've had a good experience with it, and I spend less on ink than I did with the old one, but that upsets a LOT of people.

I may have exaggerated a bit. We use both HP and Konica Minolta printers at work. Our HP printers are excellent compared to KM.

I haven’t used a printer at home since I was a kid. I bet the situation is different for printers that aren’t going 365 days a year.

I will say that I do not like HP’s ink “DRM” shenanigans.

For what it's worth, all of HP's business hardware is very good, whether it's printers or PC systems. It's just the cheap consumer-oriented products that suck.

Same thing with Dell

First, it's nice to get a reasonable response to my comment. Most of the responses about HP printers are people foaming at the mouth. Even a few here, in a thread meant to be funny, generated some of that.

Yeah, I might go with a laser next time. I've read that Brother makes a pretty good laser printer, and I see color models are like $250, which isn't bad. We'll see. No major rush right now. I would miss the flatbed scanner; I do use that (maybe as much as the printer) for random things.

Oh...haha...I just went to Brother's site to look at one, and oh look, there's a toner subscription service!

No way, Only Brushes and paint for me. Of course I steal it cause why should I pay for it?

[–] TheGalacticVoid@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Using an HP printer is like playing Russian Roulette with a ton of loaded bullets. I say this as someone with multiple HP printers.

[–] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I use an HP inkjet with original cartridges
