They are currently being manufactured, and HP occasionally acquires superior competitors, then adds this crap to their existing models’ firmware.

I guess that’s an “advance” in their ability to extract rent from 30 year old IP.

I think fuzzy2 was saying other companies want to copy HPs maliciousness and also lock down their own cartridges. "advances" was referring to that maliciousness.
