I hate that everything now is a subscription service instead of buying it and do whatever you want.

    Other than the recent nonsense, this is why I cancelled Netflix and went back to pirating. Content leaves unexpectedly? Not on my Nas.

    I just read an article the other day that said LG is about to start charging subscription fees for washing machines 🙄

    I will go old school and start washing my clothes against a rock in the river before I’ll pay a fucking subscription to use my own washing machine

        You don’t actually need to be aware of it. Because you said you were aware of it, when you clicked Accept on the EULA, and on page 62 of the EULA it said they have the right to disable your printer remotely at any time and for any reason.

      It really does depend on the quantity you print and what you are printing. Some like my self only print a few pages a year. Ink also gives a much better finish when it comes to photo printing.

    My mom’s Amazon Halo that counts steps just shut off because they ended the service. I do not trust anything that requires live service at this point.

      I love the fact that brother basically does no marketing as far as I know. They just end up shining like a diamond because they make a generally good product and everyone else around them makes absolute trash.
