After my professional experience with their printers, I won’t touch anything coming from that company ever again.
I can very well imagine how they can build in massive amounts of new enshitification methods to make you pay even more.

#92HP lol, yeah sure. I wouldn't touch anything HP with 100m long pole.
I imagine soon they could implement something like this...
"Robot error, you've reached wear & tear limit on your left wheel: 1 mile. Please buy a new wheel from HP shop, Price: $2999"
"Robot error, looks like your new wheel is not compatible with your old right wheel. Please buy a new right wheel..."
"Robot error, you've reached recharge limit of 50 cycles, on your internal robot battery..."
Re: HP SitePrint
#93Take your pick: If you give it a big job, it freezes halfway and just spins its wheels as fast as it can until you unplug it. It refuses to paint yellow lines when it's out of blue paint. It asks you for feedback after doing any and every job. It doesn't have good Linux support. It has no off button. The only modes are printing, standby at half power, or unplugged. When you want to just print a small blue square on t…
...printing is cloud based and subscription only...
Edit: (I was joking and it's really cloud based, omfg)
Re: HP SitePrint
#94Cool! From HP! The robot only costs $1,500 but a two pack of extra sharpies for it costs $48,000. Before you can use it, you must install 5 petabytes of HP drivers.
It's cloud based, yep :D

#95> Enjoy a pay as you go model… No matter how big or small your business is. HP SitePrint has bundled a comprehensive support contract into a pay as you go usage rate, so you only pay for what you use.
It sounds like HP is continuing to go the subscription route to use one of these “printers”.

It's a workable solution to a large problem with these devices. Do you spend $75,000* on one of these when you only use it once a week or once a month?
(* just a wild ass guess. I have no idea what this thing costs)
Re: HP SitePrint
#97Gotta love /s how inconsistent they are with punctuations.

#98This looks like a physical manifestation of a the "Logo" environment we had in our elementary school computer lab. https://logothings.github.io/logothings/AppleLogo.html
Drawing turtle bots have a history almost as long as Logo https://blog.adafruit.com/2018/05/03/the-history-of-turtle-b...

It gets half-way through the job, but runs out of paint. You load the new paint but instead of continuing, it fills the entire site with a big test print that uses 10% of the paint.
Randomly, it'll run a head cleaning cycle that involves spraying large amounts of paint into the neighbour's driveway before cleaning itself on their lawn.

#100Earlier quoted context omitted.
I am an architect who worked as a contractor and as a consultant and I made an account here just to comment on this. When you found out the builders did that, what you should have done is stopped the work and have them correct their mistake on their own dime. This is an unforgivable mistake and a team of professional should never make something like that. Obviously I am not in your shoes, but this is insane to me. An…
This seems like the just-world response. But how can one force this? If they just say "No" you end up taking them to court and delaying the construction of your house. You endanger the contracts for downstream work. I had a landscaper screw up just about everything they could building a retaining wall, and they couldn't even get me an extra bag of grass seed after the fact.
You tell the inspector. Point out that the hallway is 25cm short of code. I'm assuming since they are using metric they aren't in the US, but at least here the contractor can't say no the inspector without losing their license.
