Didn’t GNU project start because of a printer?
Dr. Wesker ( @wesker@lemmy.sdf.org ) English16•1 year agoHP has sucked for decades now, because of this kind of business mindset.
For now, I only buy Brother printers.
CubitOom ( @CubitOom@infosec.pub ) English4•1 year agoYeah brother
BlanK0 ( @BlanK0@lemmy.ml ) 7•1 year agoWe really need Foss software for printers, specially for mainstream machines so that majority can afford a less scamy product.
not_amm ( @not_amm@beehaw.org ) 5•1 year agoBruh, I only use my printer/scanner to scan documents and I prefer to go to a store to print things. I get charged $0.03USD (I’m not from the US though) for every printed page, which is WAY cheaper than buying an ink cartridge from HP.
TheButtonJustSpins ( @TheButtonJustSpins@infosec.pub ) English3•1 year agoI use the Genius Scan app to scan things with my phone.
lobut ( @lobut@lemmy.ca ) 2•1 year agoYup, I use my local library. It’s like 15c Canadian or something like that.
Infinitely better than this ink cartridge mayhem.
not_amm ( @not_amm@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year agoI wish I could go to some libraries, in my city they’re almost all in the city’s center. Good for you, though! :D
Ricky Rigatoni ( @rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee ) 3•1 year agoIt already is a subscription because we keep needing to buy more ink.
Can’t someone start an open-soruce printer with cheap ink to compete with this?
I’m not a big believer in competition and the free market, but can’t they do SOMETHING? Just this once?
nickwitha_k (he/him) ( @nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org ) 2•1 year agoOn my heap of projects for a while but I have ADHD so, there is a distinct possibility that I’ll never start or finish it.
sarmale ( @sarmale@lemmy.zip ) 2•1 year agoAlways refill ink cartridges
Possibly linux ( @possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip ) English2•1 year agoYou can, for $3000 a month
some_guy ( @some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org ) 1•1 year agoHe’s already won! Wait, Palestine. Nope, it Joey. Maybe next year.
ShadowRam ( @ShadowRam@kbin.social ) 1•1 year agoThey can’t lock down or do it with 3D Printers.
WTF thinks you can do it with 2D?
What a goof.
