HP launched a subscription service today that rents people a printer, allots them a specific amount of printed pages, and sends them ink for a monthly fee. HP is framing its service as a way to simplify printing for families and small businesses, but the deal also comes with monitoring and a years-long commitment.

    even if you were ok with renting a printer for some reason, I find it so creepy that HP needs to monitor all the stuff that gets sent to the printer.

    Also I hope whoever decided that everything needs to be a subscription service is having a bad time.
