Point taken on the HP printers (and wow, re: "Instant Ink" mentioned by sibling; had to search it myself to believe it), but heck. Everyone seems hell-bent on trashing their reputations in my eyes (or at least earning my eye-roll), anyhow.

Moreover, I seem to recall reading here on HN a fair bit about smart refrigerators and Samsung smart TVs with ads, and I can't see those revenue models going away anytime soon.
