Cool! From HP! The robot only costs $1,500 but a two pack of extra sharpies for it costs $48,000. Before you can use it, you must install 5 petabytes of HP driv

- tacticalturtle 1y agoMost of the 5 petabytes is a model used to determine if your sharpies are counterfeit.
- p0w3n3d 1y agoThey remotely brick your Sharpies even if they are original because of a bug in the software
- profsummergig 1y agoDon't give them ideas.
- tguvot 1y agodo you have sharpie that won't grind down to zero on concrete after 3ft ?
- tomovo 1y agoNot on genuine HP concrete.
- tguvot 1y agoHp concrete actually exists
- rpcope1 1y agoHopefully they're using something like a paint pen with a roller and not a Sharpie the way you're thinking of it.
- tguvot 1y agoparent is the one who suggested sharpies. i'll actually bet on some variety of inkjet/spray as it will better deal with surface imperfections and won't wear out
- realitysballs 1y agoWeirdly it turns out to be cheaper/faster than paying a human being to do the same thing in use cases where you have large concrete slabs with complex walls/casework layout
- lloydjones 1y agoYou beat me to it!
- sidewndr46 1y agoDon't forget the complementary installation of Norton Antivirus
- Theodores 1y agoJoking aside, I don't believe HP developed this product, they almost certainly bought the company that makes it. My hunch? Seen these things before. I doubt it has been DRMd to hell yet, and I doubt they upgraded to show PC LOAD LETTER at all times, but why did they add this to their portfolio?
- juanre 1y agoI think they did, actually. (I worked at HP for 19 years, and I know the guy in their Barcelona site who started it.)
