@theteapixie @arstechnica Yeah...

That's a common & intentional design issue made on purpose.

Glycol-based ink as used by 20+ year old Deskjet 6122 doesn't do that.

Still I think that's aka. and should be illegal to even produce!

@Takiro @arstechnica so unlike the old OfficeJet J4xxx - Series it doesn't even make annoying shit that requires one to smash the ok & cancel button at startup?

This kind of and bs should be banned by @EU_Commission and be criminalized across the globe!

@mcc THIS kind of should be outlawed!

I can understand when manufacturers want to a (tho espechally on / the excuse of "too old hardware" rarely flies), the fact that these are literally turned into due to not being unlockable and thus refurbishable (just like any other laptop) is basically an asshole move against both owners (that would otherwise get some $ from refurbishers) and the envoirment!

@aZa1905 @aral @frameworkcomputer that is iterally the problem:

There is neither incentive nor penatly for being [un-]sustainable..

That's why Apple is selling their devices with by design with soldered-down , and , and both of the latter WILL INEVITABLY FAIL OVER TIME AND USE!!!

Also any infringement on is bad, including shit like "locking down firmware" to "enforce spectrum compliance" or whatever bullshit figleaf they make up...

@lunareclipse I mean I know ~ why ~ they did it: it saves like 2 parts and 3 cents per device...

I just think it's bs and the fact that one has to get some DC/DC board and hope there isn't any on the batteries - yes that is a thing in this late-stage capitalist dystophia.

Personally, if I could I'd outlaw such shit just like soldering-down SSDs and having no toolfree remove- and hot-swappable batteries...
