    So he is being honest. Ok. I would rather execs just fess up to their schemes than carry on some charade that they’re not greedy assholes trying to fuck all of us over.

    Not that their schemes aren’t obvious to those paying attention.

    Our HP all-in-one is really old but it’s been great overall. And we only use HP ink cartridges. But idk if I want to give them my money when it is time for a new printer.

    In an ideal world I kind of think printer manufacturers should be prohibited from this practice since it is anti competitive. But what do I know.

    I use the instant ink and it is convenient. I don’t know how I am locked in, though, unless they’re just counting on me being too lazy to buy ink.

      Same. I’m on the cheapest plan that works out to about £30 a year. For the amount I use the printer, that’s cheaper than buying ink once a year.
