DO NOT BUY HP PRINTERS!

I don't believe I've ever seen a more from a .

If you buy an and sign up for the optional HP Plus , you'll get a that will FORCE you to only new HP cartridges — for the life of your printer. And once that firmware update happens, there is no way to undo it.

DO NOT BUY HP PRINTERS!

HP has found an exciting new way to your printer

screenshot from the article "Here are a few choice quotes from the terms and conditions for HP’s ink service that I think you’ll appreciate (bolding mine): "You expressly allow HP to remotely change, patch, update or otherwise modify Your printer’s software, firmware or programming remotely, without notice to You, in order to provide the Service to You or to comply with applicable laws "Remote monitoring may include provision to HP of one or more of: page counts, types of documents printed (e.g., Word, PowerPoint, pdf, jpeg, etc.), types of devices that initiated print jobs, printer serial number, cartridge information (e.g. HP original cartridge status, and whether the cartridge was new or used at the time of its last insertion into the printer), and other similar types of metrics related to your Service as may be added by HP from time to time "You agree to maintain connectivity of Your Printer to the Internet and to not remove or disable any remote monitoring software or functionality on Your Printer."
screenshot from the article "If Your printer is not connected to the Internet, then the Subscription Cartridges (as defined in section d. below) will be disabled, and You will not be able to use them to print; however, You will continue to be charged for the Service as described in Section 7 (“Paying for Your Service”). In order to reactivate disabled cartridges, You will need to reconnect Your printer to the Internet and keep it connected "When Your Service is cancelled for any reason, HP will remotely disable the Subscription Cartridges and You will no longer be able to print with the Subscription Cartridges. In such a case, you will need to purchase a regular HP cartridge compatible with your printer, in order to continue printing "HP may increase or otherwise change the Service Plan Fee and Overage Fee, and add additional fees, for any Service Plan, or otherwise change or add Service Plans at any time in HP’s sole discretion with prior notice to You."

Wkrótce premiera 10 i trochę się jej obawiam. Zmienia się sposób otwierania centrum sterowania z przeciągnięcia palcem na kliknięcie przycisku, którego nie umiem nacisnąć. Zawsze używałem sztuczki z otwieraniem i zamykaniem latarki, żeby wracać do tarczy, a skróty do ulubionych aplikacji miałem na kilku tarczach. Teraz nie będę mógł otwierać latarki.
Nie wiem co robić.

Noch ist die Informationslage dünn, aber alle die können, sollten auf ihrer Fritz!Box das aktuell veröffentlichte Update FRITZ.OS 7.57 (7.31) einspielen. Offenbar hat AVM eine (schwerwiegende) Sicherheitslücke gefixt.

Thread...(🧵)

I've had several people either private message me or ask me why I've been so absent from Mastodon over the last few weeks or so, and today, I think it's time to update all of you as to why.

When I first came to Mastodon, it was super fun, super awesome, everyone was super nice and there was little to no drama or toxicity.

For the most part, that hasn't changed, except for the drama part of it. That side, has changed DRAMATICALLY! (cont...)

Looking forward to finally getting back to work today after breaking my hand and recovering from a mild bout of the latest strain of COVID (I’m assuming – at least two other folks who were with us tested positive even though neither Laura nor I did over multiple tests) while away in Spain at the start of the month.

There’s a big update to Kitten deployments in the works in its own branch that will also bring about a bunch of other improvements when it lands.

Meeting is over and things went CONSIDERABLY better than I ever expected! So much more relaxed and not "corporate, by the book" stuff as I thought it might be.

Again, while I can't discuss specifics at this time, I was told by the lady doing the meeting, is that it is 10000% a YES from me!

Hopefully I'll have more details to share soon, but this was certainly a huge positive! Now to sit and wait for the HR formalities and legalities to get completed!

Hi there! You may have noticed that I've been pretty absent as of late on main channel.
Things have been weird. 🧵

Let's be honest, how often do you check for #updated #packages with your (rolling) #distribution and/or #flatpak #packagemanager? Personally, I setup a little script that does both (pacman and flatpak) so that I can run it conveniently (sometimes daily). 🫢️😜️🫣️ #linux #update #addiction

The Play Store has started notifying app updates for apps installed with F-Droid, and as expected, they cannot be updated. However, the Play Store still shows those failed updates. Does anyone know why this might be happening? #android #fdroid #playstore #update

I still have no internet. has a recorded message, about an outage on South Shore (We're Eastern Shore) our power was restored 2 days ago, and our Fibre has not been. This leaves us travelling to another town to call and report that we're still not reconnected.

Not sure if this sends or not, we even had a momentary power outage today, high winds, heavy rain, no internet, can't play Heardle, nothing to watch on the telly.. 😁 but other than that, we're fine. Cranky & fine
