What an absurd claim
This problem was solved decades ago: don’t have circuits on the ink cartridge.
Exhibit A of why CEOs get paid way too much. He made $22 million in 2022. A CEO should have at least a attic understanding of statements they make to the public. This guy cannot even handle that much.
We’ve known what HP is since the 90s, if you still own a HP product it’s kind of on you now.
What a flaming pile of bullshit: HP is cancer when it comes to consumer printers.
Jfc, what a fucking arrogant asshole. An asshole asshole for saying it, arrogant because he thinks anyone will believe it
Also: brothers at least only blocks the third party inks from working.
To put it another way: HP printers are so poorly designed that ink cartridges are vectors for viruses

“HP has issued a recall on its print cartridges after a security issue allowed hackers to gain access to their source code.”
Way back in the day HP was one of the best technology companies around. They were innovative, produced high quality products, and were a good place to work. It makes me sad that HP is now one of the worst tech companies and has among the strongest anti-consumer attitudes.
Do they think this kind of shit happens in a bubble!? That people who know better don’t read the news?? Any time I can, I order Lexmark, Epson, and Brother printers/faxes, as well as Dell and Lenovo PCs/laptops/servers/peripherals to replace anything HP.
Seriously, HP printers are so bad, they’ve soured me on the whole company, despite not having personality owned one in the past decade. These kinds of predatory, dishonest, anti-consumer practices from the top down is the sign of a company I want no part of.
Brother printers are great. If only because they don’t add all the pointless bullshit add-on “features” that everyone else does.
Brother printers, they’re just printers. Nothing more, nothing less.
They also take third party ink.
We’re kind of locked in to Lexmark for most of our printers, but I thought Brother printers now disallow 3rd-party ink/toner? Not their fax machines though, and still better than HP…
