I don’t quite follow your thought?

According to the page, this is the data that is stored on the chip:

=== CUT === In addition, this memory chip collects a limited set of information about the usage of the product, which might include the following: The date when the toner cartridge was first installed The date when the toner cartridge was last used The number of pages printed using the toner cartridge Page coverage Printing modes used Any printing errors that might have occurred The product model === CUT ===

I don’t like that they collect this info, but I don’t see any really scary information mentioned there?

Whether I trust HP that is all they store and recover is an entirely other matter ;)

As I wrote, they are going in the wrong direction 😕

Then i guess we agree, my comment was about ads, not all kinds of other stuff.

I rarely use the app store either, but it amazes me that Apple thinks that is just fine…

As I wrote in my other comment: I have seen ads in settings, they recently put an ad for their F1 movie in the wallet app and don’t get me started on the App store.

Depends on what you define as the OS. They put ads for their F1 movie in the Wallet app recently. I’ve seen ads for their services in the settings menu.

Apple has generally not had ads anywhere. However in recent years they are placing ads in more and more locations, making the user experience worse. Do you disagree with that statement?

Apple was the safe haven, but they too are going that route…
