The article literally says they sell your data to advertising partners. You’re paying a monthly subscription to give away your personal data for something as basic as a fucking printer. If HP doesn’t die my hope in humanity will be gone.
Imagine your thermostat sold your data so companies could solicit you with coats to buy, or your fridge sold the data of what food you have so shitty brands can beg you to buy their low quality trash because they spent half their budget on advertising.
I’m preaching to the choir but god I hate the ever growing data broker/aggressive targeted advertising trend.

Unfortunately HP isn’t going anywhere. They have a lot of government contracts and likely a ton more with commercial businesses to supply hardware.
I imagine us peons at the home use level don’t really show up on their radar when it comes to making these decisions.
can confirm, when I used to work for a government contractor, everything was HP. From laptops to servers, from mice to printers.
