Ok
HP has gone to shit for years, making their HARDWARE NOT DIY friendly and ONLY using proprietary crap
Why not make a intro like: are you here because u want tech news or are u tech news because u r here
That was a fun way to start the morning
hp's infected carts are a problem due to their own hardware and lack of security research they would normally do... that no company does anymore because money is better than a working product that is safe.
"Making an investment in the customer" translates to "turning the customer into a perpetually paying wallet". That's a very predatory way to view a customer.
To be fair, that's what capitalism incentivises. Maximise revenue from a single customer without having to reach new ones. The question is how we can discourage that behaviour.
Once those companies are caught into those loopholes, there's no turning back. Open source community is our very last hope
Correct, they want to eventually have the printer itself be a subscription.
You are just in the way of their money in your wallet.
If you are not a customer - than you are a product.
HP's CEO is a perfect example of why I refuse to support certain companies.
Same ! Same also for woke companies (even if it's an other subject).
..and no one cares :)
HP support apartheid so thanks
@@fridaycaliforniaa236good news, most companies aren't truly woke. They're just trying to pander. That's why I don't support these companies either
what i love about traditional advertising companies calling online social media advertising as predatory, all advertising is to make the viewer want what is being presented, so isn't it all predatory in some degree ?
Ah, HP’s CEO. The example of what happens when people become numbers
It is really stupid just make a good printer and sell it for more than you made it for.
but that doesnt make you line go up profits that the investors demand @@MrBeast-1
More fitting would be and example of when you forget that numbers don’t want to be seen/treated as numbers
Don't worry, HP is now just a number to me, a bad number that needs to be avoided.
@@MrBeast-1you know that’s how like… all of everything you every buy works right?
If we didnt start adding chips to the ink cartridges then there'd be no possibility of them hacking anything, but I wonder who's fault was that
This is a racket, creating a problem to sell a "solution".
Buy canon seriously,their cheapest printer have dual sided print,and the cartridge doesn't have any security check, allowing you to refill it directly without modifying the cartridge chip or the printer firmware,it is probably the 6th time i refilled the cartridges that came with the printer.
@@TailslolAren't inktank printers better though in the long term?
Aren't laser printers better?
@@ivangerginov5648 not for color printing or photos.
The amount of mental and verbal gymnastics on display by the HP CEO is dizzying.
They sell their printers at a loss. Only through ink does the company break even. The alternative is printers coating a fortune. Pick your poison, but ink is definitely a better business strategy long-term.
@@SleepyFen I don't know that that's actually true. If you look at how cheap eg. laser printers can get now, where you don't get gouged on the consumables...
@@SleepyFenwhether or not something is a good business strategy or not has no relevance on if it's good or should be allowed.
He's right, if they let just anybody make printer cartridges, they could be full of viruses and malware. That's why printers are so secure, they don't have any other methods of hacking them, like USB ports or a wifi connection.
Totally.
Refillable ink:
Ya know if they didn’t check what ink you were using in the first place then it wouldn’t be possible to have a virus on it.
Imagine if cartilages were only cartridges of ink and didn't have DRM chips that needed to be spoofed and could carry bad payloads.
How secure that would be. Truly immaginative
To be fair, a bad actor could reverse engineer the ink cartridge behavior to see what you're printing, then transmit it out over the network... but then I'd imagine the power draw would be higher than expected. So if a third party ink cartridge truly just spit out ink I'd imagine it wouldn't draw any more power than a first party one. It could maybe have a coin battery inside to compensate but that would make it heavier, so you could have a sensor check if weight is also higher than expected. You could even sell these for a higher price as premium "secure printers".
Of course, HP would only do these things if they truly cared about security.
Ah, Hewlett-Packard. The company that told Steve Wozniak that this "personal computer" thing he showed them had no commercial future, is still going strong.
Epson is the same shit, btw
Canon printers rule. My Canon MG4250 is better than any of the HPs I owned before it.
@@fridaycaliforniaa236 I still give props to Epson for being the one that introduced ink tanks to the world that saved us from ink cartridges
@@BrianG61UKwish I could say the same but my first and only canon lasted 1 month
@@axethepenguin Oops. :-(
I've also published a paper that states not having a chip in the ink cartridges also prevents security issues. Did HP no think of that?
Right?!
Why not just have refillable ink printer instead of single use catridge? Money, that's why
@@user-28qhfk65 Right? It's also so wasteful, so much plastic used in the cartridges.
@user-28qhfk65 for what it's worth Canon and Epson sell refillable tank printers now. I have a Canon G7020 and it's rhe best home office printer I've ever owned. Uses almost no ink and when it does the ink is super cheap to refill.
@@bubbles581Agreed on the refillable. My comment was more about HP's security argument for the reason you should not use off brands of ink cartridges. I abandoned inkjet a while back due to clogged heads; regardless if in the printer head or on cartridge. The wasted ink to unclog was insane; if it even worked. You need to have print jobs within a time frame to have it not clog. I go months without printing. When I need to print, it never would work. How was your experience with the refillable tanks and clogging? Do you print reasonably often?
Back when I sold printers to folks in a certain office supply store, they'd head straight for the HP Inkjets because that's what they were familiar with. I felt good about approaching every one of these customers and saying, "Before you decide, let me tell you about these Brother models over here."
If the cartridges didn’t need smart cups for proving just first part, then there be no virus 🤷🏻♂️
What a crazy concept!
They make a flaw others can exploit so that their BS is justified. This stuff should be illegal.
Rant incoming - LIKE NO SHIT. IF THEY ACTUALLY DIDNT NEED THE SMART CHIPS FOR THESE THINGS, THEN SUCH SECURITY VIRUS WOULDNT HAVE COME FROM THIS.
It's literally all of their own making, and I'm thankful they are getting sued for it.
We desperately need a tech startup that sells no BS printers. Go for the weak spot, Palworld style.
Epson offers refillable tanks in some markets. Printers for consumer markets are sold at a loss and recover them via cartridges and that's the reason why HP would insist consumers use their own cartridges on their printers.
Imagine if printers were just sold for what they were, and ink was also just sold for what it was.
@@panahum01Epson still has those 'unreplaceable ink sponges' in their printers that shut down the printer if it detects the sponge is full. They are not someone who you want to point at.
@@jacobnunya808The consumer market won't be buying them. Some manufacturers left the consumer market because it's not profitable. Going low on printers and selling high on ink cartridges does not work.
Brother is another great company...never heard any issues from them, YET.
I feel like “rentable units” is a joke on Gen-Z and millennials. 😂
It's the end game of capitalism, you will own nothing
CPU has a ton of specialized units for integer, floating, avx calculations, but usually programs dont use all of them at once. Hyperthreading was there to utilize free units in a CPU, that are not used by main thread. But even with HT there are modules like AVX that are present in every core but rarely get used in applications. So splitting cores to smaller parts that do their own thing is the next step. But it makes task scheduling and branch prediction harder.
As expected from a boomer CEO and his digitalized greed manifesto
@@user-dv5ts3de8e ...I wonder what problems having an entire CPU active at all times can bring. Like even worse thermals then already not good current ones.
@@alexturnbackthearmy1907eh, there probably won’t be much of a difference assuming you do the same amount of computation
Can wait to for Intel to announce their new Pentium CPU
But will they bring back the netburst?
Hey! Don't badmouth Pentiums. New pentiums are good for single board mini pcs. No good for anything else, but still.
In several scientific studies, Pentiums have shown to be more efficient sources of heat than electric or gas furnaces
Pentium is actually discontinued. Intel's new entry-level processors like the N100 dropped the Pentium name, they're just sold as "Intel processor" now.
@@nathangamble125 They are still pentiums in my heart.
Well gotta give the HP CEO props for being honest and comes out with the fact on wringing customer dry; it's diverting the blame to shareholders, though I doubt it means anything now.
So they include chips in their ink cartridges because allowing you to fill a reusable cartridge with plain ink would allow viruses in the ink to infect your network. got it.
Unless there's a 50% jump across the range from the current gpu stack, it's not worth upgrading considering how much they're asking for it.
You can buy 3rd party ink for most Brother printers
@@johnsparozich6839the fck does that have to do with their comment

@@bradhaines3142it will, 9k series will likely be when it's time to swap over to RT/PT as the main rendering method too. If not later.
You know how you can prevent viruses from your cartdriges... by not putting chips on them! The system they created isn't to protect against this threat rather it's what introduced the threat in the first place lol.

Is the Malware IN the printer ink or is this malware in the room with us right now?

so printer jail breaking when? kind of suprised jail breaking printers is not already more common.
Why put yourself in jail in the first place? Lots of other printers other than HP... Yes, hacks exist. But it's mostly hobbyist hacker stuff.
I quit buying HP printers in 2012, I've been using Brother printers since then and they're great. The software and native driver support in windows was rough in the early days, but has been pretty good since 2015.
Its not more common because there are better alternatives easily available. People who still buy HP printers at this point deserve the problems that go along with that.
I "hacked" my brother printer with a pen, cardboard, and a bit of tape. It uses a laser to determine ink levels, so I just blocked the laser with a piece of cardboard and now it thinks all my coloured inks are full and lets me print black and white
Rentable Units sounds like Bulldozer's CMT architecture. i.e. a weird gimmick AMD tried a while back that didn't pan out because, among other things, making certain hardware shared among cores means there's not enough of it to go around. Bulldozer wound up being a dog of an architecture and, in fact, I remember AMD actually got sued because of it.
Hey don't come for my FX 6300 like that ok. It might've been hot and slow, but it my lil fk up that could mmk. (using a r5 2600 rn, don't tell my 6300 o_o)

Shure a third party ink cartridge could get hacked, or you could just refill the first one you have.
@@IllIlIIlIllI Seriously, HP only makes like 2 tank printers and they are mid-range, whereas everyone else has them around the range (Epson is now making a EcoTank with SIX tanks (CMYK, and Photo Black and Grey) for some reason!) and they all actually have good cost. Screw Instant Ink, Screw HP+ ESPECIALLY, and just screw the CEO of HP.
What and the profits of the poor poor multibillion company? How are they gonna increase it even further?

Honestly, if Reilly read from a dictionary I'd watch. The great voices, the goofy approach, the easy comfort in front of the camera make him amazingly entertaining. 10,000% more fun than no fun at all.
I was once hacked by a printer cartridge. I was too ashamed to come out and tell my story when it happened, but now it's all out there, I have donned a litigious hat and pant outfit and will be on every news report for the next 2 weeks or so.
HP blocks their own ink too. Brand new cartridges from target were 'counterfit'. HP is so sad.
It was so simple, buy refillable cartridges and buy ink(or powder) and boom, done. If the cartridges were refillable, will the ink will have virus?
2:46 Wouldnt be much difficult to put malware in the cardtridge if they didnt put a chip in it???
2:54 ok but why is there enough communication between the machine and the cartridge to make this possible? It's a tiny tank of ink, there really is no reason it needs to carry any data beyond a label for the user.
They totally skipped over the craziest part of that moon mission: the craft was supposed to flip 90°, but ended up flipping 180°! This explains why the solar panels weren’t working; they simply could not deploy…
Oh HP. They finally get their head on halfway straight with their gaming prebuilts, and then come out of nowhere with plans to make their already awful printers even worse.

I think the scalpers shouldn't be allowed to cancel their orders so they'll be stuck with them.
'Subscriptions' are the new 'microtransactions'. I'm fed up with companies trying to milk me dry.
The full leak makes clear that Hyperthreading is disabled in the BIOS by default due to alpha hardware issues (it can also be reenabled). Very unlikely they're actually ditching hyperthreading.
Thats what Ive been thinking. Hyperthreading can always be disabled. I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Now if we are getting into nonHT CPUs costing less then that is a different conversation, but if the question is only regarding performance then its a very different answer.

Scan in the uk. Is on the Founders edition Program(think they are the only etailer that gets them.)
Hyper threading only runs one thread at a time per core. The secret sauce is very fast switching between the two because each core has two sets of registers (one per thread) so when one thread is memory starved (or other I/O blocked) the core can instantly (within a few clocks) switch to the other thread.
Removing hyper threading would be an interesting move. If they can get their E cores to a state that can perform like apples silicon especially in the battery area then they could start clawing back consumers looking for that. Linux laptop with a bunch of E cores or Zen 4c cores would be interesting.
MLID just throws shit at the wall to see what sticks. He deletes videos where his claims turn out to be wrong, and any that come true, he's all "ah yes, RIGHT AGAIN" like he has some kind of positive track record.
What videos has he deleted?
2:40 - if there is no problem, create a problem. Meanwhile in Epson - let's make a printer without cartridges! Pouring ink into a container in a printer is 10x cheaper.
What about the 🤑cache frequency, Nobody really has discussed this 😮 ??? I noticed this using intel’s XTU Tool.
An obituary for hyperthreading: (hopefully not needed)
Oh hyperthreading,

HP 150$ printer broke just after 2 years of using it once a week to print few pages. There were no parts anywhere to fix broken paper gear. I would buy original ink if the price was reasonable.
I basically refuse to even own a printer at all because of the bullshit with them these days. I will just go to a print shop and get stuff done when i need it or print it at work.
Dear HP,
Just charge for what the printers cost you to produce plus a bit of markup to cover support and fueling the corporate jet. Then you don't have to care what kind of ink goes into it. Happy customers might even buy quite a bit of ink directly from you, but they've got to be happy with the cut of your jib first.
This disposable razer business model (where you hold razer blades to your customers' throat to force them to buy your overpriced ink to cover the cost of selling the printers at an excessive loss), it ain't working for anyone. So let's stop it, ok?
Signed,
Someone that paid a fair price for a printer from your competitor more than a decade ago and is still happy with it and buying toner directly from the manufacturer every few years.
They need to make orders uncancelable. Make them eat the cost of the card and end up selling them for less than retail to teach them a lesson.
Imagine how but hurt everyone would be by the “anti consumer” practice of not allowing cancellations lol
Working as a full-time home computer technician, the number of people I had to help because they bought HP printers was absurd. It was like 85% of my job. I told every single one of them to avoid HP like the plague for these exact reasons.
Likely to save on power. Lowering the use of each core would lower the TDP significantly.
GPU prices are still pretty bad, and you can't expect people to upgrade anymore when new gpu's that come out are barely better than they were 5 years ago... and no amount of upscaling is going to trick people into thinking their gpu is faster than it is.
When modern GPUs still can't beat the GTX 1080 in terms of price to performance, you know it's not good
It's kinda silly to say the 4000 series is "barely better". Unreasonably expensive, absolutely.
@@GamesFromSpace for the price, it's barely better. I remember in the 90's every new gpu that came out had twice as much memory, and was 3-4x as fast... i remember going from a 1MB Trident to TNT2 to a geforce 2MX and my entire world changing when it comes to games with each upgrade... now, when you upgrade from a 3080ti to a 4080ti you get like... 10 fps more and a software unlock for a new upscaler that would work on a 3080ti if nvidia wanted to.
my point is, whatever amount better a 40 series card is, it's not enough to justify upgrading to it if you already have a 30 series card or even for a lot of people a 20 series card still.
Sooooo next gen two core and no threads? 🤣🤣🤣
2 cores, 2 threads. Hyperthreading means 2 cores, 4 threads.
it sounds like its going to be the same number of cores/threads, but without the threads naming convention, and that the handling for threads is going to be much more flexible.
Assuming "rentable units" is referring to what are essentially threads that any core can acquire and hold on to for a cycle. Rather than the very capitalist interpretation i had initially.
@@akarimsiddiqui7572 Because 2 plus 2 is four! The system works.
the possible Goodbye, Hyperthreading ☹ is just like a litle sidequest in this TechLinked episode related to the other stuff....
When you said “hybrid cores” I heard “hired cores” like you could hire extra cores that were included on the die but you hadn’t paid for.

Printing is pretty much like blockbuster in it's late stages. As their business died out they kept jacking up fees to make back the revenue while accelerating their own demise. I have a 15 year old brother laser jet I use to print stuff maybe once a month, then an HP color printer I haven't printed anything on more than once or twice in the last 10 years because it always want ink or some other BS so I just either don't print it or print in black and white on the brother and only use the HP for scanning.

Thanks for giving me yet another reason to stick with AMD
HP guy may have failed to communicate well. but the reality is, spend $400 for a printer that can use whatever ink. Or buy a subsidized printer for $50 and be locked into the expensive ink that is subsidizing the printer.
I would happily pay the real cost of each item. I realistically only need to buy a printer once every 15-20 years, ink is something I have to buy somewhat more frequently. These companies have no reason to change their model, it pulls in stupid piles of money for them. We can bitch and moan all day, the only way this changes is governmental regulation.

My last printer was a Cannon. I got annoyed at how buggy it constantly was, and how cryptic and unhelpful the error codes were, so I smashed it.
Haven't bought another printer since (~4 years maybe?) and do everything electronically. On the very rare occasions I need to print, it's cheap as chips at my local office supply store. Screw owning a printer as an individual. You don't need one.
I disable SMT in the bios on my threadripper system and noticed an slight improvement. My understanding is at 8 cores/16 threads(fake cores) is the break even point where going higher then 8, the overhead of SMT degrades performance. 16 cores performs better then 16 cores/32 threads(fake cores).
