Ok,so this is currently number one AND two on lemmy. The same shitty meme! Should I block memes@lemmy.ml or Fuck Cars@lemmy.world. I hate doubles. These are both trash communities that spam the front page on a constant basis and I hate them both. Actually, I've started to hate lemmy as a whole. Which should I block?

• Your reddit clone is doomed to fail. Nah nah nah. Go fuck yourselves, I'm out.

Who even needs an "ultimate guide" to basic ass Subway sandwiches? They aren't complicated.

Most of the US military is mostly made up of conservatives

That's a generous interpretation of the word most. Among active duty plus veterans the US military is 34% Republican. If you take out veterans it's only 26%.

and red states are the only ones with some semblance of a manufacturing base

Straight up ridiculous nonsense.

California is not only top for manufacturing, but grows half the food in the country.

I dont think a hypothetical civil war will turn out as well as blue staters think.

It's not going to happen, not even in your wildest, most traitorous fever dreams.

CodeName , 5 months ago to Technology in HP CEO Says They Brick Printers That Use Third-Party Ink Because of … Hackers

Right? Instead of bricking the printer they can make their software secure. But we all know the reality is they want to punish anyone who dares to buy third party ink which is why they ignore vulnerabilities, and probably created them in the first place. Just a sad state of affairs. Part of me wants to believe consumers and even corporations will rebel against this obvious BS, but they'll probably make bank.

What harm are they saying these "hackable" cartridges can even do? Brick the printers? So they are preemptively bricking the printers because... the hackers might... brick the printers? Makes sense! I expect better from corpo technobabble. This is just idiotic.

CodeName , 5 months ago to Technology in HP CEO says customers who don't use the company's supplies are "bad investments"

If they are selling their printers at a small loss because they want to make money on selling ink that's basically fine. Sell the ink, make money. If they want to overcharge for the ink people will look elsewhere. If they have to DRM the printers to force people to buy their ink then that's just fucked up.

CodeName , 5 months ago to Technology in HP CEO says customers who don't use the company's supplies are "bad investments"

And consumers not being able to choose which ink they purchase makes HP printers a bad investment. It goes both ways. It was nice of them to admit what lengths they'll go to to force us to use their proprietary ink cartridges though.

CodeName , 6 months ago to Mildly Infuriating in This is way too expensive for a drink.

I've cut so many products out of my life in the past few years. They used Covid as an excuse to price gauge and they just never stopped. They'll keep creeping the price up until sales start to decline then they'll settle there... for awhile.
