  And they’re fuming because they can’t force this down the throat of every “bad investments”. Not yet anyway.

    But they’re really trying with HP+ printers that come with a 3 month trial of Instant Ink. And it’s not like you lose the ability to use 3rd party cartridges, because those HP+ printers already come locked down from factory. Those HP+ printers also have extra REQUIREMENTS: HP Account and internet connection.

    Imagine if you needed internet connection and some account to control your lights. Oh, Philips Hue changed their ToS, so now you do.
