There are always better alternatives out there than this trash.
I know there are a lot of people that will advocate for Brother printers and I didn’t used to do this, but I bought one, don’t use it for months at a time, and it just sits there ready, working perfectly when I need it to.
It’s shocking actually. All the Canon and HP printers I’ve ever owned would stop connecting to WiFi, stop responding, run out of ink after 10 prints, or end up with low-quality prints.
The brother just sits there, ready to work, month after month.
I believe that the grounds for boycotting HP should not be linked to its association with Israel in any manner.
The legitimate reasons for boycotting HP lie in its substandard customer treatment and the gradual decline in the quality of its products and services.
When individuals boycott companies due to their ties with Israel, it only intensifies my inclination to support those companies.
We should focus on HP’s bad technology, not politics. Bringing politics in just confuses the main issue.
Why?
I believe in evaluating a tech company based on its technological merits and customer service quality, rather than its political connections or decisions.
However, if the boycott shifts to a political basis, specifically regarding Israel, it aligns the act of boycotting HP with the stance of supporting Hamas/Palestine, a viewpoint that is definitely not universally accepted. This politicization could render the boycott ineffective, as it then appeals only to those opposing Israel, not those focused on HP’s technological and service shortcomings.
So anyone who is against Israel is supporting Hamas? Holy generalization, Batman!
Do you see apartheid and genocide as political issues?
Not OP but my take is I somewhat agree with them. Genocide and apartheid are wrong and not political in the sense that you’re saying, but there are many people who wrongly support one side or another because they don’t know any better. Making it simply about HP being douchebags means you have more people who can get behind the boycott.
