Why haven’t pirates cracked HP printers yet?
First of all, I’m not asking anyone to crack HP printers. I’m just genuinely curious why this situation seems so different.
I have zero knowledge of hacking or cracking, but after seeing this post on this sub about HP forcing people to subscribe just to print (They want us to subscribe now to print, what a fkin joke), I started wondering why haven’t hackers cracked this yet? Almost every major software and game eventually gets cracked.
Is cracking hp printers significantly more difficult? Is it basically impossible? Or is there some moral dilemma in the scene?
It’s also interesting that I rarely see people begging hackers to crack hp printers like they do with other things “Dear xxx, please crack this, my life is yours”. What makes this case different?
