BMW's F1 sponsor is Petronas, so their engine oil are pretty fucked-up in recent years with various engine problems because they got to use Petronas (rebadged BMW engine oil) for their vehicle servicings.

If customers uses Shell or Liqui-moly, will BMW car get disabled?? hahaha

This is a case for the Competition Commission of Singapore.

I doubt Is the oil. There have been known engine manufacturing defects for some time for certain models

If you do a lot of printing at home, invest in a laser printer.

The ink cartridge business is a scam and a racket.

I still remember people openly selling 'pirated' printed ink cartridges at the NUS campus back in the day, not sure if they do this anymore.

I have had this experience also. Bought genuine ink from Challenger also cannot work and have to exchanged it in HP customer service.
Now I subscribed to their instant ink which is also convenient but my old printer have to be obsoleted even it is still functioning.

This has been going on for a while now. HP even wants enterprise customers to pay for bios updates for their servers.

I encountered an issue with my previous HP printer. After using it for about 2-3 years without issue, after I replaced the ink cartridge (an original authentic one), it said my printer head was spoilt or something to that effect. I suspect it’s some built in mechanism that makes the printer fail after a certain period and makes you buy a new one.

When a brand resort to do such thing, means their business is going down.

Back then, they explained that German cars are designed to "burn engine oils", so when you bought premium models of porsche or BMW, they would give a free container of motor oil when you were collecting the car.

Then one-thing leads to another, after they fix this problem in recent years, they start to have issues with shaft, gasket, coolant/hose leaks, water pump, thermostat issues and the authorized workshop will just fix the hoses and let you return every 6-12 months for repairs.

They consolidated their market share after buying over Samsung printers.

Now it's HP vs Japanese (Canon/Epson/Brother)

The drivers of chinese printer brands got malwares aka remote access trojans.

SOS recommends, Cannon, Brother, or Epson, all can use compatible toner/inks or recycled original drums/cartridges online.

HP disabling printers is also considered Malware.
