In my case, after one year and an half my HP printer auto-updated (without my consent) and bricked because I was using the ink from a different brand. This happened even if I didn’t subscribe to their shitty Hp instant ink offer.
I’ve immediately returned it, bought a Brother printer and I will avoid any HP product for the rest of my life.
I’m genuinely worried that companies will just perpetually try to get into dark patterns, until laws will be powerless against them. People should spend years in jail for coming up with ideas like these…
- CamperBob2 3y agoHow'd you get the return accepted after a year and a half? That's pretty impressive service. People should spend years in jail for coming up with ideas like these… +1 for sure on that. It'll never happen, though. We wouldn't want to pass laws to interfere with "innovation."

- kd5bjo 3y agoIn the EU, basically everything comes with a minimum warranty of 2 years[1]. If your printer will no longer print within that time, the retailer is required to fix, replace, or refund it.
