Cool! Now work on exploits for those paywalled features of BMW cars and Ford cars.
If you pay for something it's yours by right. You should be able to use the entire thing, because you physically have it now.
There's a difference between causing a panic like that and sending mean tweets or telling an offensive joke
It's a printer, and for fucks sake, BMW is locking you out of certain features of their cars if you don't pay per month.
Telsa cars will drive themselves out of your house if you miss a payment.
Every time I think printers can't get any worse, they get worse.
What's next? are they going to have to scan your anus to confirm that it's actually you printing things? I shouldn't give them ideas.
By the way, I'm sure there's a way to get into the firmware of the printer to disconnect it from that centralized service.
Some people in the UK have been locked up for making offensive jokes.
I'm in favor of free speech for everyone, even the shitty right-wingers I hate. The solution to bad speech is good speech, not censorship. Not corporate censorship, not government censorship, not corporate censorship on the order of government censorship.
