HP locks down their inkjet printers even worse

They pushed an update that completely blocks third-party ink! If anything but a new or used HP cartridge is inserted, an error is displayed on the LCD and the printer refuses to work.

They people continue to buy HP inkjet printers, I do not know. Now I won't touch their lasers, personally. In fact, I don't know a single piece of equipment that I would consider buying. They have proven themselves to be massively consumer un-friendly and I am happy to shop with my feet and dollars elsewhere.

Biden budget proposal to close a crypto tax loophole

The process is known as washing, wherein people who makes lots of money buy crypto, which loses value, and they take a tax loss. Except they're able to legally buy the same exact brand of cryptocurrency again and go into a wash, rinse, repeat cycle.

Closing this loophole could generate $24billion, I'm not sure if that's annually.
