You all get it totally wrong, it’s not part of enshittification, they add the landingpage so you can securely check where tue link is going…

And if there’s a landing page, why not use it to show you great deals…would be sad to not use that real estate

That’s \s by the way

It is at the scale they are working on, there’s a reason you can’t get an actual person to contact you… It’s too expensive to have actual people working these cases

True, but usually you buy them from retailers… This way they cut out the middleman. And the chance that you use 3rd party inks (although, that “security risk” got patched with firmware upgrades)

Also, they don’t just send you ink… It’s a monthly plan where you have x pages included. Unused pages are rolled over 3 times [1] and afterwards they probably are just lost.

Further, if you cancel the subscription, containers you received within the subscription wont work anymore.

Damn, I knew it was bad, but now that I read the details it’s even worse…

Nono, you buy the printer and AFTERWARDS they sell you a subscription on top.

That way they get paid twise, much better…

Yes it does, and when I click on it, the Clock app opens… With all the bells and whistles

Is it though? They stuff more and more things into the clock app… Somehow nobody wants to maintain ‘just an app that shows the time’ it needs timers, stop watches, world time, weather and whatever is somehow related to time

Same here, loved BaconReader, (not sire why it’s not mentioned that often)
got the message popup yesterday ;-(
But you are right, might be a good moment to detox a bit

Its not a native app, basically an alternative web view, that you can add to your homescreen
