Inkjet printer manufacturers continue to pioneer imaginative ways to
create real-world, desktop dystopias that make Black Mirror look
optimistic by comparison: one such nightmare is HP's "subscription"

continuously communicate with HP's servers to validate that you're still
paying for your subscription, and if you cancel, the ink stops working.
