HP’s 'All-In' Printer Rental Watches Everything You Print, Tells HP All About It
(www.extremetech.com)
Damn HP! My three year old laptop that I mostly de-crappified was just updated with a pop up selling HP extended warranty. They made it look like a system dialog, there was no “quit”, and “send personal data to HP” was selected by default.
I had to explicitly select to not sending data, explicitly select to make the choice permanent instead of bugging me later, before clicking ok
Never again HP, never again. It’s so sad to see a formerly great engineering company stooping this low as just another sleazy huckster
