I like it, but it’s even worse than that as I’ve never had my printer murder motorcyclists or trap me inside and burn my body into dust.

[-] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 76 points 2 months ago

Don't worry. HP is working on this for their next firmware update.

[-] brap@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

Haha of course they are. Fucking HP.

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

"your HP subscription is about to expire, would you like to renew it? BTW, that's a nice house you've got there, it would be a shame if something were to happened to it."

[-] lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Brb, buying every model of HP printer (gotta get a chance at going first, if you don't shoot you can't score)

[-] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 months ago

That's not from lack of desire, but ability.

[-] artifex@piefed.social 14 points 2 months ago

The spirit is willing, but the cord is short.

[-] brap@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Man, imagine a printer with arms. You’re not surviving the night.

[-] OwOarchist@pawb.social 3 points 2 months ago

I got a shotgun, though. I think I've got a chance.

[-] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 months ago

There was a bug in HP printers that let people remotely set them on fire.

[-] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

No, see, we only call it a bug if it isn't meant to be in the software. In this case, it's a feature.

[-] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 10 points 2 months ago

While telling you it can't open the door because it's out of magenta.

[-] fitgse@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

In the early 2000s my hp printer had a paper jam and the error message from cups was “printer on fire!”

[-] OwOarchist@pawb.social 5 points 2 months ago

I’ve never had my printer murder motorcyclists

But I suspect it would if it could.

[-] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 39 points 2 months ago

I've never had any problems with my Tesla 3. I wouldn't buy another because Musk, of course. But the car's been solid.

[-] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Same, we bought one before Musk went mask off. We're closing on 180,000 KM and have only needed to replace the upper control arms, which was covered by warranty.

[-] hanke@feddit.nu 3 points 2 months ago

Still have to pay a subscription for heated seats or whatever, right?

[-] MinFapper@startrek.website 28 points 2 months ago

That was BMW, actually. Not Tesla

[-] Tja@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

Not even that, BMW allowed to get it as an option (never removed the possibility of buying it out right). However this is the internet, there's no room for nuance.

[-] scops@reddthat.com 15 points 2 months ago

They charge for premium network connectivity. It's $10/month to make use of if the LTE radio in the car for connecting directly to streaming services without your phone, live camera feeds in your cell phone app, and some extra map stuff. You still get eight years of basic navigation and updates if you don't pay for it.

The heated seats thing was BMW, which they back tracked on

[-] Glytch@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

You lose gps after 8 years?

[-] scops@reddthat.com 5 points 2 months ago

I doubt you lose the GPS connection, but you lose the network connection to make the mapping and navigation work. About like navigating with your phone without cell service

[-] 17jGuFCOn89iY@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Mapping and navigation still work but only update when you update the car. You lose access to real time traffic and the lte network.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Not bothered by the safety issues?

[-] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

I learned how to use the door knobs, if that's what you mean?

[-] Tja@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

Same here. The only maintenance has been tires, windshield washer fluid and cabin air filter for the last 5 years. I also won't buy another one as long as Musk is there. Last year we were in the market for a second car and if it was about tech specs alone, a used base model 3 would be the best, but we bought a BMW instead. Fuck Musk, but the car is a pleasure to own.

[-] SCmSTR 17 points 2 months ago

And it being a Nazi brand.

[-] MalReynolds@slrpnk.net 10 points 2 months ago

TBF so is IBM (actual Nazis, not just fascist fanboys).

[-] PolarKraken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

No shit? Like historically or up through the modern era or newly so or what?

[-] TipRing@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Historically. IBM provided tech and expertise facilitating the holocaust.

[-] cybernihongo@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago

I was considering if I should work for IBM. Maybe I need to do a little reading on that, any sources you recommend?

[-] TipRing@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Edwin Black's book IBM and the Holocaust is the principle source. IBM denies this accounting but I found Black's case compelling and his book cites primary sources in the form of Nazi documents and eyewitnesses in Poland.

[-] cybernihongo@reddthat.com 1 points 2 months ago

Thanks, I'll check it out soon. Appreciate every little new bit of knowledge in this sick world.

[-] NecroParagon@midwest.social 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

As someone who works with printers for a living this is insulting to the printers. They function at least most the time.

[-] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Oh, Brother!

Tap for spoilerGet it?

[-] MashedTech@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Unless your printer is brother. Then I wish my car was like my printer.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

The car equivalent of a brother printer is a mid 90s to early 10s Toyota.

[-] Hudell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

As a happy owner of a Brother printer, can confirm. The worst thing I can think about my printer is that its menus are in Spanish.

[-] AnotherPenguin@programming.dev 7 points 2 months ago

You wouldn't download a printer

[-] P1nkman@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

As a Tesla owner: 💯

[-] Aeri@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I always compare them to Apple products because I hate Apple products.

[-] manmachine@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Don’t you dare slander my printer so

[-] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Right? If I want to print something it'll print.

If I want to drive a Tesla, I don't want it to call for the genocide of Jews.

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Also, it locks you inside and starts on fire.
