HP, permanent member of my shit list.

The thing is, HP is too big to be labeled like this. Their measurement equipment was and still some of the best, although Agilent bought them. Their calculators are awesome. Just printer department, god damn it. It's as if their HR requires list of asshole moves for each potential employee and then choses worst.

Their low-end laptops are hot garbage too, either the hinge fails, or brittle plastic breaks loose in the case and jams up the cooling fan blades
