@meeper @mikoto it is intentional - Just as #PlannedObsolescence aka. #ReducedLifecycle of #Android Devices - espechally #Smartphones and #Tablets.
#Google has vested interests in creating #Bloatware to sell new #Tech...
Just as #Microsoft has vested interest in using #CensorBoot and forcing everyone into shitty #SaaS "#Cloud" #Subscriptions...

@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 #PlannedObsolesce aka. #ReducedLifecycle 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 #ReducedLifecycle and #AntiConsumer bs should be banned by @EU_Commission and be criminalized across the globe!
#anticonsumer #reducedlifecycle
@digitalpirate looks like #PlannedObsolescence aka. "#ReducedLifecycle" per #design to me...

@geist @lou ganz ehrlich, da kauf' ich lieber einmal nen #Laser - MuFu bebraucht für wenig Geld und hab' meine Ruhe als #ReducedLifecycle - Hardware zu fördern!

@ai6yr EXACTLY!
#ReducedLifecycle should be criminalized as the #EnvoirmentalCrime it is and be prosecuted harshly!

@mcc THIS kind of #ReducedLifecycle should be outlawed!
I can understand when manufacturers want to #EoL a #device (tho espechally on #ChromeOS / #Chromebooks the excuse of "too old hardware" rarely flies), the fact that these are literally turned into #eWaste 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 #ReducedLifecycle by design with soldered-down #RAM, #SSDs and #Batteries, and both of the latter WILL INEVITABLY FAIL OVER TIME AND USE!!!
#batteries #ssds #ram #reducedlifecycle
@Aglaia89 @njudah WTF!?
So people can't even sell their used ink??
Okay, that's it!
#Inkjet printers are now 100% #Scam at best if not #ReducedLifecycle-based, intentional #eWaste and every retailer selling that shit in lieu of #Toner is complicit in the grift!!!
#Toner #ewaste #reducedlifecycle #Scam #inkjet
@ShadowJonathan +9001%
I think that the #EU and all the other big governments should #outlaw #PlannedObsolescence & #ReducedLifecycle as the #EnvoirmentalCrime|s they are and also strip #Abandonware of any #IP rights protections like #DRM...
Also any infringement on #ConsumerRights is bad, including shit like "locking down firmware" to "enforce spectrum compliance" or whatever bullshit figleaf they make up...
#ConsumerRights #DRM #ip #abandonware #envoirmentalcrime #reducedlifecycle #plannedobsolescence #outlaw #EU
@forthy @frameworkcomputer Soldering-down #SSD's like #Apple does is just a form of #ReducedLifecycle - design aka. #PlannedObsolescence...
Espechally when they are engineered like shit - as is customary with Apple, the only manufacturer of laptops that managed to do *checks notes* "breaking SATA Flex Cables"...
I KID YOU NOT:

@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 #DRM on the batteries - yes that is a thing in this late-stage capitalist dystophia.
Personally, if I could I'd outlaw such #ReducedLifecycle shit just like soldering-down SSDs and having no toolfree remove- and hot-swappable batteries...
