HP CEO says they brick printers that use third-party ink because of ‘hackers’.::HP is pushing over-the-air firmware updates to its printers, bricking them if they are using third-party ink cartridges. But don’t…
So, what can I do with the code contained in an ink-cartridge chip? Can I play Doom?
Is it irony if the only virus ever written for an ink-cartridge just bricks the printer?
It could be irony but, aside from the plastic, I’d expect it to be a little more coppery and silicony.
