It is my duty to remind everyone, whenever HP is mentioned, that they create biometric apartheid systems for rogue terrorist states
Well that sounds downright diabolical. Can you link a source to read about it more?
Sure thing! As one of the global targets of the BDS movement, there’s plenty of resources for reading up on their categorically evil activities:

And here’s a simplified rundown:
Yeah I'm boycotting HP but it is interesting to see the industry shift. Windows is losing its moat now that less stuff is utterly dependent on it
It doesn’t help that they are actively and aggressively pushing their users away with shitty features no one asked for and operating system breaking bugs that shouldn’t even exist.
They are shooting themselves in the foot for their epic quest for enshitification.
Also they suck. Like, in general.
Fixed title: "HP found a way to test out saving costs on licensing."
HP is a struggle (but yeah, Windows is too)
I think I couldn't decide which one to avoid harder. I'll go with both.
Two negatives make a positive
Absolutely fuck HP in every single way.
Everything they make is a gigantic turd. Get the fuck away from my games thanks.
Steam deck will always be king.
It uses proprietary, disposable, non-rechargeable batteries with drm built in. $60 for 4 hours playtime.
/s?
Don’t they make bricks?
Thank you. 😄
Oh, I desperately want to see their spin on Free and Open-Subscription Software.
It'll need a 1.5GB "drivers" download every week, a subscription to just keep running, forget all its network settings monthly, need an "app" to set it up, and if you don't play a game they like it'll just brick itself?
I reckon/hope HP was also soured with the deprecation of Windows Mixed Reality, effectively bricking the HP Reverb G2.
That is a shit show on its own.
goosebumps on that headline
One by one they turn on windows.
Where are the mainstream gaming laptops/desktops with SteamOS preinstalled? HP might be the first one to do that I think.
Remember that time hp made a webOS tablet?
This is giving similar vibes.
Always chasing hype and never committing enough to win
