  • Fixing HP’s statement on the matter so it’s more honest:

    We’re always looking for ways to improve our customer service experience, because this is the first step in not doing that. This support offering was intended force you into less expensive options that didn’t involve live humans because we’re cheap bastards who don’t actually care if your printer works- you’ve already bought it, and it stopped being a loss leader in the 90’s. Seriously. the printers have not changed since then, but we jacked the rates when you weren’t looking and called all those not-actually-new features something new and cool sounding.

    We have found that many of our customers were not aware of the digital support options we provide. because we don’t want you to use those, either. we want you to suffer in silence. and buy more ink. Based on initial feedback, we know the importance of speaking to live customer service agents in a timely fashion is paramount. As a result, we will fire most of our live representatives so that it takes then twenty minutes to get to you, instead of just telling them let you cool your heels.

    also, we’re updating our onhold music play lists. they now include Justin Beiber’s “Baby”, Nickleback’s “Rockstar”, Rebeca Black’s “Friday”, and the entire sound track to Cats, the musical. oh, and in the interest of keeping it diverse, Walker Hayes “90’s country song”.




  • I highly recommend graphene.

    And for anyone going to a protest to get a cheap burner and flash graphene, then leave your normal phone at home. You can swap phones on your plan pretty easily.

    Alternatively, for the very paranoid, go set up a prepaid and anon line and move your device there. Pay cash for the card and set it up online at a public library.

    Especially if you’re planning on a little civil disobedience.

    Just a reminder, if police think something is about to go down, they’ll spoof the tower and collect device information… including things like phone numbers so if your suddenly changing behavior to go somewhere and do something the fascists dickfucks in office won’t like… best be paranoid.

    A second device will still at least keep them from getting all your personal shit. And seriously, Don’t just turn off your normal phone. Leave it at home.
