HP fails to derail claims that it bricks scanners on multifunction printers when ink runs low::HP Inc. has failed to shunt aside claims in a lawsuit that it disables scanners and other functions on its multifunction printers whenever the ink runs low
HP, permanent member of my shit list.
The thing is, HP is too big to be labeled like this. Their measurement equipment was and still some of the best, although Agilent bought them. Their calculators are awesome. Just printer department, god damn it. It’s as if their HR requires list of asshole moves for each potential employee and then choses worst.
Their servers and storage systems are absolute garbage.
They probably do the marshmallow test on applicants. If they fail the test and lie about it, they go to the printer department.
Their low-end laptops are hot garbage too, either the hinge fails, or brittle plastic breaks loose in the case and jams up the cooling fan blades
If enough people quit buying ANY HP product because of their shitty printers, they would be incentivized to make it better.
