    The reductions will largely hit product development, internal operations, and customer support,

    So HP is geared towards buggy products and shit customer support.

      If you’ve ever used their printers you’d already know the company does not make consumer goods. They make soul sucking, joy draining, black holes of money, wrapped in a subscription service that locks all your purchases based on whatever the fuck they feel like.

      And the last time I had to open up an HP PC I cursed their existence. So much useless stupid plastic that makes repair/upgrade tedious to say the least.

      Fuck HP with all the printer cartridges that are still good but unusable because DRM greedy ceos.

    For those unaware, HP recently secured one of the most idiotic deals I have ever seen a state-level government agree to: all laptops in Quebec purchased with public funds must be HP laptops. They said this will “encourage competition in the laptop market.”

    I can’t wait to see this new decision blow up in HP’s face.

    Using AI, HP will “accelerate product innovation, improve customer satisfaction, and boost productivity,” Lores said.

    I’m so glad we’re currently using Dell. If we had substantial buy-in to HP products, this nonsense would all but require us to switch to another vendor.

    AI is a wonderful tool capable of streamlining many tasks and making some things far more efficient.

    This is not what it is good for. This is idiotic. I can’t wait to see this blow up in their face.

    They will save millions for a few years, but AI will make their already terrible company absolutely useless, and then go bankrupt and lose everything.
