The next step on top of class action lawsuits costing HP millions in judgements, is anti competition investigations, and environmental ewaste fines in the billion$.
Maybe if parts of the world refuse to allow HP printing produces to be sold they might change their attitude.
Simple solution: never buy an HP printer again.
I always said to myself when I purchased Office 2013 Pro Plus on a HUP almost 10 years ago it would be the last copy I would ever pay for.
Still holding true to that.
Microsoft set a dangerous precedent giving windows 10 free to anyone who wanted it. And still does. They tried to stop that with the sudden about face with artificial raised hardware and security requirements on windows 11, with comically low uptake results.
The result: windows 10 will likely be the last windows version I use on any PC hardware. Too many matured IOT devices now with full blown PC replacement capabilities to make Windows and Office relevant anymore.
And Microsofts market share is only going to shrink further from this point.
Windows 95, windows XP and Windows 10 were the 3 pinnacles for Microsoft users. It's all downhill from here.
