  1. I bought an HP Omen laptop, i will never buy HP again… These mfs require specialized drivers & the last driver they released was in 2021… & it came out in 2020… On top of all that, they have not made any drivers for Windows 11. HP's support is abysmal to non-existent once they get your money. So i feel bad for the person who gets an HP PaaS- Print as a subscription lol.

  2. I'm through with HP. I wanted to work there when I was an EE student in the 80s, I spent all my money on a (still running) LJ Series II at the time – what have they become ??

  3. If there were no chips in the cartridges then there would be no chance of hacking the cartridges.

    Anyway I learned long ago not to buy HP, and also, not to buy an inkjet. Laser printers are amazing.

  4. I kinda miss it when companies at least tried to pretend they weren't totally evil. Now they're just going full "yeah fuck you" and for some reason there's people who actually try to justify it?

  5. Well, as of today the SLIM lander is working again. It landed at an awkward angle and so the solar panels could not see the sun. The angle of the sun has changed and now it is working again, so good news.

  6. Okay……….let’s put some thought into this. Intel is loosing its threads because of its power and heat issues on it’s present architecture. An architecture that is DEAD!!! Intel now sits in the back seat with AMD continuing to increase the gap over the next few years. Intel is in trouble and they’re in denial.

  7. I know why the hatred between that pesky little HP printer my family household was cursed with many years ago and me was mutual. As soon as that devilish box kicked the bucket and was standing as nonfunctional as it was the day it arrived at our doorstep on the hallway floor, I gladly gave it one heartfelt kick goodbye. We use Canon printers since. Never had printing issues ever again.

  8. Is that why the Amazon ink I just bought that worked the last time said it won’t work now? Bricked the printer.. not a chance I’m spending $50 on their ink.. I’ll just buy a new cheap $30 printer anytime I run out lol.

    Nah.. I’m not gonna help create more landfill. I will however buy a different brand printer and pick whoever is A) not HP and B) cheaper ink replacements

  9. Oh noo. The chips HP build in their own printers, which are unnecessary, are now hacking the computers with thirdparty ink… oh nooo. If only the printers didn't need chips in the ink cardridges in the first F*ck place.

  10. HP sucks. A walking talking clown show. They're going to feel it for their BS. I work for a big company here in Canada…a really big company and HP just got kicked to the curb.

  11. I'm surprised it took them this long, to be honest… Hyperthreading pre-dates multi-core CPUs and it was a way to trick your computer into thinking it had multiple CPUs. Now that there are so many physical cores in modern CPUs, hyperthreading seems like a useless relic of the past. A lot of people disable hyperthreading in their BIOS so as to use only physical cores.

  12. From a technical standpoint, it makes no sense that they want to ditch HT, becasue it just make processor cores more efficient in computing. So they are just getting greedy again…

  13. HP's DRM Chip interface can be abused to inject malware?
    Here's a hot take: Get rid of it, problem solved.
    Wanna know how much ink is left? Either do some dead reckoning or have just the sensor strips in the cartridge, no additional electronics needed on that cartridge.
    And from a customer's pov: Anything HP is a bad investment. In fact, if you just burn your money, the amount you save on the heating bill is a better return than anything HP has to offer.

  14. Even if such attacks are possible, the solution is to remove the chips in the cartridges which only exist to make it harder to use 3rd party cartridges, there is literally no other purpose to them that isn't better done another way (as brother toners do)

  15. ummm there is a difference between killing hyperthreading and replacing it with an improved method of handling threads as long as the end result is the same or better.

  16. Hyperthreading is an important element to making virtualisation cost-effective. Sure, the point of virtualisation was to save on hardware costs, but hyperthreading is the other half of that by allowing you to either run more VMs per box, or purchase cheaper, less powerful boxes.

  17. Here is a tip with HP printers. Don't let them automatically update their firmware. I made that mistake and the new firmware voided my brand new OEM HP ink cartridges and demanded I buy a whole new set that was compatible with the new firmware. A bit of online searching led me to the old firmware which was installed and magically my OEM HP ink cartridges worked again. Lesson learned, even when you buy HP OEM ink they still try to get you to buy it again.

    For me personally, I will never buy another HP product ever again despite being a decades old customer of theirs. What they did IMO was abuse of power, and I no longer am willing to sign up to be abused. When people ask me what to buy for a printer I tell them get a 20-30 year old printer. My go to printer is a HP Laserjet 4000N. I did have to hunt through the recycling bin to find a old HP JetDirect card that I think is 100Base-TX Ethernet but for free I can wait 10 more seconds plus one less part that isn't eWaste. A customer paid me to take it and recycle it. It had a brand new ink cartridge and two full trays of paper. It has yet to fail on me. I think when it needed a new toner cartridge I got a damaged box NOS OEM one for $35 bucks.

    Some day when I get past the $150-$250 price for a 25 year old envelope feeder I will get it so I can be super lazy. For now manual feed does just fine 😛
