    Urgent security fixes are gonna go unpatched

    I don’t understand why a printer would ever need an “urgent security fix”. Or a software update for that matter.

      … Because products can contain security exploits, and if not patched could leave homes and businesses vulnerable.

      This shouldn’t need to be explained, but here we are.

        The fun part is the security exploits often come from things like DRM ink cartridges that allows an attack to come from the goddamn cartridge!

        Wouldn’t be a problem if you didn’t include a serial connection to the cartridge in the first place!
