Same thing happened to my mom’s HP except that they sent her the wrong cartridges so she closed her account. They bricked her printer. I bought her a Brother.

Anyone find a source or proof on this having happened?

I’ve nearly seen it happen. They ask you like five different times if you want to get the ink subscription. If you do, they’ll automatically send you new ink. If you choose the subscription, you’re locked out of subscription ink cartridges when you cancel.
You don’t need to buy the subscription to use the printer, their setup wizard is just really obnoxious about it. If someone else set up the printer and opted into it, I can see someone in IT get mad about it.

It’s a printer, and for fucks sake, BMW is locking you out of certain features of their cars if you don’t pay per month.
Telsa cars will drive themselves out of your house if you miss a payment.

Ford is doing this as well.

Sounds like they want to be in court a lot. There’s no way any of that is safe.

Oh yeah. How long until the vehicle repossesses itself when a child is in the car? The lawsuits would be massive.

Why are they getting patents for stuff like that? I thought patents were for mechanical inventions only, not new money schemes to stop others from doing the same so you’re known for that scheme?
