@corbet@social.kernel.org Not enough people take stuff back to the store. Story time. I replaced the "3 weeks of printing" printer cartridges that my HP printer shipped with, with third party cartridges, it worked fine until they updated it to not worth with third party cartridges. I knew the update was coming, it was all over tech news, but I hated the idea of it. I took it back to the store, feined innocence and they sent it away to HP. A few weeks later they sent it back with a new "3 week" printer cartridge..

@corbet@social.kernel.org ...and a note saying "Only use genuine HP printer cartridges". That rubbed me the wrong way. After that set of cartridges ran out I took the printer back and demanded a full refund from the store. Then I bought an Epson supertank printer. Say not to DRM.
