Not content with DRM in overpriced ink cartridges, HP now wants you to start RENTING printers for the low, low price of only $36 a month with the number of printable pages per month limited.

Could everyone please tell HP to kindly go fuck themselves?

@ErisCaffee Not much different from ISPs like , / , and renting their locked-down and monitored Internet gateways to customers

Saw this Xfinity generator to power some neighborhood internet service provider hardware today and started fretting that maybe today's storm is going to be worse than I thought. So far not too windy, though, which is the big power outage risk around here.

Well that's disappointing. I was enjoying contemplating the low price of 's Now streaming tv package but it features no major news or business networks or local tv stations. Guess if one wants them one must pay more. It was a fascinating exploration anyway. At least I learned something today.

Cable firms to FTC: We shouldn’t have to let users cancel service with a click

Customers may "misunderstand the consequences of canceling," cable lobby says.

lmao. xfinity gets hacked and this is the message you get when you go to log into your account:

"As part of our commitment to you, Comcast routinely reviews and monitors account security. Please update your password to help protect you and your account."

We gee golly, xfinity, thanks for being so committed to your customers. FFS.

Do yourself a big favor. Do NOT get internet. It's worthless. It's been going on and off all weekend long so far. I already had a technician's appointment for 8:00 a.m. tomorrow, but when it started working again, I made the mistake of canceling. I wish I had kept that appointment. Now I've got to wait until Monday afternoon. Unfortunately, this is an old building, and is the only option. I wish I had ANY other choice.

When you are a #RemoteWorker, and you lose #InternetAccess, there’s not much you can do. Comcast #Xfinity seems to be having an outage in my little corner of northwest #Vermont … so.. might as well take the weekend’s yard waste up to the biomass generator plant. 😃 Hopefully it will be back on by the time I get back… or else I will be off to our local library……..

We signed up for Starry ($45 per month.) We're going to give it a try for a week or so, make sure it's adequate for our needs, then tell to pound sand.
