So they got samples ..
What i don't understand is why take samples if they didn't have a return mechanism in place ? o.O ?
I am confused ..

Big oil wants to kill electric vehicles.
OFC they will engage in all kinds of speculations , offer no proof at all to protect their rich contributors from facing competition.
Same goes for the auto industry that have to face a new and strong competition.
It's not a matter of safety , it's a matter of protecting big oil and the auto industry from facing competition.
Already the grids can't cope with the power needed to keep the people cool , it cannot cope either with the electrification of vehicles requiring close to 2000 new nuclear plants by itself and AI wants to cut further the resources available to keep the people cool and the vehicles rolling ? .. just wow.
I do not know of a single person that needs specifically a HP printer ..
Anything else is a better choice .. even an old IBM Selectric running on a parallel port is a better choice imho.
That's what happens with money and revenues are the only motivations to run a company.
HP Died a long time ago.. when they sold their lab instrument division it was the beginning of the end.
RIP ( rest in pieces )
Stop the presses and get the editor in chief out here .. ill have his rear end ..
Poutine is NOT a CANADIAN dish .. it's a QUEBEC dish and we Quebecers
are angry as hell about this outrage and recurring insult ..
Public apologies and a bag of curd cheese will get back on our good side .. < coughs >
SIgned : a teed off Quebecer out of curd cheese
Have a great weekend .. mine's the one with a can of poutine sauce in the left pocket ..
I have no pity at all for the owners of any important infrastructure , machinery , connected to the public internet at all.
They know crackers will do what they do best , crack their security and make as much damage as they can.
It's negligence at a whole new level.
Don't blame crackers. Blame the companies for putting important infrastructure on a public network.
The obvious " slip on " keyboard without electronics but simple contacts with the screen seem to be something to investigate.
Why use electronics at all when a simple passive plastic keyboard can do the job ? ..
simplify the design a notch. There's no need for electronics at all.
Granted different models different screens might require a diff keyboard layout but frankly ,
a 10 cent piece of plastic can be produced for different models and you have your keyboard.
They do the same for protective cases . Why not a KB ?
Just food for thought .
I worked in A/V and telecom all my life. I was in the boardroom of a very important corporation installing wireless mics etc .. all for the convenience of the client.
Well .. This is a place where very important financial decisions are taken
At some point they introduce me to the chief of security and i simply told him what was the truth
You can take a small reciever and listen in from the other building what goes on in the boardroom.
He was like , " huh ? "
I took my laptop , my SDR dongle and an antenna and made the demonstration ..
He was without words.
My boss didn't like me one bit on the spot , but they did sell them wired replacement microphones. :D
Anyone with half a brain would not.
Maybe there's total idiots out there but i don't think they'd pass the interview.
Ans as for vendors requiring network , they would not pass the first round of suppliers in a nuclear facility.,
Not everyone's an idiot.
Dude you're an idiot :
" .. ctional life is as bad for profits as retirees are for the national economy: "
This is not only insulting it shows your complete ignorance.
Apologies are quite required.
When you get kids you'll see the value of those retirees when they're repeatedly saving your rear end.
You're a jerk , deal with it.
is hilarious. Come on .. HP think they can change our impression ( no pun intended ) of their products / company being total c*** ?
Letter to HP :
If you want to be liked and sell printers change your idiotic and pointless ink cartridge policy.
sweep it out the door and let customers choose what they do when they do it.
HP was first to introduce an extremely fine print on every sheet so that the print could be tied to a particular machine .. remember that one ?
That's your second job , stop doing it.
Network / forced updates ? .. would you please let go of that ?
It's the whole bloody dang thing with you guys : you don't get it , you have to make radical policy changes for you to survive.
Sure .. they can also deliver bombs .. kill people .. like that gunman who was terminated using a robot delivering a bomb in texas.
The only thing for sure is that it should deliver a bomb far away in a place noone will get hurt and perform a rapid unscheduled disassembly.
Dead BD robots are the only good robots.
Time for a coffee ;)
ill be waiting for a robot to bring the whole rack , still powered up and wired before placing an order ..
but for the rest of humanity they could consider building racks so an overhead chainblock / winch / rail system overhead
could take the rack and move it anywhere on the floor.
i know .. utterly ridiculous ;)
It's becoming fast a fascist state. So for one , the USA,.
They have been supporting apartheid and the treatment of Palestinians under Israel's boots
Plus they send them money for weapons to use against the Palestinians.
Take both countries out when it comes to the " free world " and " democracies " lists.
Won't get into politics i assure you but in the USA at the moment good common sense is out the door.
They do not want to build at the moment , they want to destroy and go back in time, even basic human rights are thrown under the bus.
What happens with 78's ( which are worthless ) is simply just one niore cheap way to destroy an important work and site.
Destroy , destroy .. that's all the goddamn record labels and lawyers are ever good for.
Find me something good they done in the last .. 50 years .. just one ..
I am waiting .. well ? .. i thought so ..
What made me pull the plug ages ago was going through the pile and oh surprise .. the video of the beheading of an american.
Was a long time ago if you remember the incident.
With such images stuck for weeks in my head i stopped to follow anything on the net.
I come here .. few other good adresses , but following " social media " ? got to be kidding me,
we're all better off without that garbage.
