Somebody should start a business that buys HP printers, re-flashes them with non-shitty firmware, modify for 3rd party ink support and resell them with appropriate markup.
I'd support them financially if they'd also release the unencumbered firmware for personal use and buy that printer for myself.

- piva00 3y agoDo you believe that a fair and free market can exist without any governmental intervention?
- earthwalker99 3y agoNo, I think it's a myth, propaganda.
- piva00 3y agoUnderstood, I believe we have views on the same direction then :)
- earthwalker99 3y agoJust to be clear, I don't think a "fair and free market" can be accomplished at all, ever. It's an incoherent concept and really just juvenile. Your comments and contradictions above are enough to illustrate why.
- piva00 3y agoDon't understand the aggression, I do share a similar view, no need to take jabs at it. You are fighting ghosts.
- smitty1e 3y agoI contend that a minimal amount of regulation is required to maintain the dynamic tension between buyer, seller, and marketplace.
