Have people forgotten that Brother, too, has become enshittified?

I'm amazed that there is still no legislation to control this. E.g. consumers should have the option to choose between a cheap printer with vendor ink lock-in, or a more expensive one but with free choice of ink.

It seems like something that the EU could make itself useful with, for instance.


And just like the other printer manufacturers Brother now offers an "EcoPro" ink/toner subscription, a copy of HP's Instant Ink model.


The most interesting comment and there is absolutely nobody commenting on it. :(


I had forgotten. Is there anyone left that isn't BS though?
