    the amount of engineering and programming hours spent to make their products worse is just a symptom of how stupid, wasteful decisions are made when there is not enough competition in these industries.

    When HP requires HP Smart account to print, the brand was already dead to me

    Also any recommendation for printers?

    EDIT: damn, I think I am going to get a Brother Laser Printer in the future

      Which printer you get depends on the plan you choose. They start at $6.99 per month for 20 pages’ worth of prints and whatever the current HP Envy model is, and go all the way up to a $35.99-a-month affair that gets you an OfficeJet Pro and 700 pages. If you go over your page allotment, HP will add more for a dollar per block of 10–15 pages.

      This is 100% a trap for elderly people who reflexively print everything they see on the computer.
