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

    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

        The article said the subscription was for “software updates” which really seems like something they should provide for free anyway so you’re really just paying for the privilege to use their precious machine that you already paid for lol

    What the fuck is wrong with people? It’s been common knowledge that hp is trash for decades now. The whole idea of capitalism is that the bad products fail when customers go to the competitors who do a better job, but hp is not a monopoly and there are better competitors that exist, but people keep in buying HP because frankly, they are too fucking stupid. Capitalism is a lie because consumers are too stupid to pick the best products.
