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

I don't get how this is legal, and my guess is that it isn't in EU and many other countries that aren't USA.

Anyone ever heard one of these stories from EU?

They offer it in the EU. They don't force you to choose the subscription, you can also just choose to buy the cartridges at the store outright if you want to. I don't really understand the big hoopla about being offered that choice.

If you sign up for the subscription, the printer is "adjusted" to disallow store bought cartridges while it is enrolled

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The big hoopla is that in some cases they disable your printer so you can't buy your ink independently. That's the part I suspect is illegal in EU. Obviously subscriptions aren't illegal.
