enterprise device management and reporting unknown quantities of data back to hp are two different things.

most** hp printers don't ship with the hard-core third-party ink/toner block. that's in the firmware updates.
never update the firmware of an hp printer if you use, or think you might want to use some day, third-party consumables or refills.
if you 'subscribe' to ink, you're fucked, as that service requires automatic firmware updates be enabled.
**some do now, those should be labeled as such on the box--'must use hp ink for life of printer' or some bullshit.
iirc, they are banned... to cell phones, with very limited exceptions.
but that relies on honest callers, and sufficient resources being available to adequately enforce.
amazon's local showrooms.. err, i mean bestbuy locations across the u.s., accepts many things for recycling--at no charge. including cell phones, desktops, laptops, all-in-ones, and printers. details here
years ago, we could always tell when we crossed-over into iowa just from shit-tier freeways we'd encounter.. and it made no difference what direction and state we were coming from. which was a different experience than knowing exactly when you left iowa and ventured into omaha.. which was done by smell alone.
it's been a few months since i've had that pc booted-up, but i think this is the one:

note that i don't create or translate subs, all i really use it for is for adjusting timing of the whole file (using vlc to find the + or -), and the occasional edit or delete of an existing line.
i have a flipper, there are no 'apps'. i don't even text on it.
i never willingly gave them anything, and never had an account, but i'm sure they have a ton of data anyway despite always using ad and tracker blockers everywhere, and never having a device with their apps.. just from mentions and tags on peoples' pages and what they can assemble from that and other data they get their mitts on.
i've had ads inside of subs downloaded via browser. whenever i see them, i load 'em up in my sub editor and remove them. i usually have to adjust timing anyway as my sources are rarely the same.
they keep moving that shit around, too. seems like i'm always finding some new crevice they've hidden some setting they don't want you to know about.
windows costs money, per device. microsoft places limits, pretty strict ones, on how far oems can go wrt customizations of the oobe, the ui/ux, and other shit. valve didn't chose linux because of anything other than it was the only reasonable choice for what they wanted to produce.
snooze.. snooze.. snooze.. snooze... snooze...
alarm clock gives in. shuts it down until tomorrow.
but my flip phone, i have to open and push the correct button to shut off an alarm. that's enough to wake me up enough to piss me off. so i guess it 'works'.
