That's semi-bricking the printers.
> I'm not condoning HP at all, not in a million years.
You're semi-condoning them.
- FPGAhacker 3y agoSemi-bricking is like saying someone is semi-pregnant.
- Dylan16807 3y ago> That's semi-bricking the printers. I suppose you could say that, but it would mean something quite different from what bricking normally does. And I wouldn't advise it because it sounds like a soft brick rather than "beep boop replace cartridge". > You're semi-condoning them. No they're not.
- Kiro 3y ago> You're semi-condoning them. It's this mentality that makes internet discussions so polarized. If you allow the slightest nuance or point out that something is factually incorrect, and it happens to go against the prevailing narrative, you're accused of being a shill.
