[2832.54 --> 2833.46] This is the Nod Show.
[2833.58 --> 2834.42] It's a parallel universe.
[2836.12 --> 2837.46] Okay, so...
[2838.26 --> 2839.10] Two topics left.
[2839.36 --> 2840.22] Which one do you like?
[2840.46 --> 2841.20] Let's do both.
[2841.92 --> 2842.26] We have...
[2842.26 --> 2842.82] Why not both?
[2842.90 --> 2843.60] ...12 minutes.
[2843.88 --> 2844.94] They're both kind of eh.
[2845.98 --> 2849.44] Uh, HP printer firmware breaches Australian consumer laws.
[2849.46 --> 2851.14] I have no idea what's going on.
[2851.26 --> 2851.76] Take it away.
[2853.00 --> 2853.84] Uh, this...
[2853.84 --> 2855.46] Okay, so...
[2855.46 --> 2857.54] I'll join you in a moment.
[2857.60 --> 2859.62] I think this began, yeah, in the fall of 2016.
[2859.90 --> 2866.30] HP sold a bunch of printers or updated a bunch of existing printers in Australia without
[2866.30 --> 2872.92] telling consumers that there's software in these printers or in the firmware that is
[2872.92 --> 2876.04] going to limit you from using third-party ink cartridges.
[2877.18 --> 2878.70] And that's illegal in Australia.
[2879.78 --> 2880.30] So...
[2880.30 --> 2880.60] Cool!
[2880.60 --> 2881.76] Now they're in trouble.
[2882.16 --> 2883.18] And get this.
[2883.60 --> 2884.40] Ha ha ha ha.
[2884.80 --> 2889.60] HP is offering consumers who are prevented from using a non-HP cartridge compensation of
[2890.20 --> 2890.54] $50.
[2891.34 --> 2892.30] If you...
[2892.30 --> 2895.28] More than 2,000 customers suffered under this...
[2895.28 --> 2896.22] Under this software.
[2896.48 --> 2898.98] And if they each get their $50, that's going to cost HP...
[2898.98 --> 2900.94] Hold on to your tits...
[2900.94 --> 2901.76] $100,000!
[2901.76 --> 2905.72] HP is like...
[2905.72 --> 2906.26] Wait, how much?
[2906.58 --> 2907.10] Oh, okay, great.
[2907.28 --> 2910.86] It's like that scene in Austin Powers where he's like, a million dollars.
[2910.98 --> 2912.82] And they all start laughing at him like, fine.
[2912.82 --> 2913.82] Yeah, yeah.
[2913.82 --> 2914.84] Here you go.
[2914.88 --> 2915.64] I was worth a shot.
[2915.64 --> 2916.64] Ha ha ha.
[2918.08 --> 2919.18] No problem.
[2919.20 --> 2923.40] They probably got way more sales of ink than that $100,000.
[2925.22 --> 2927.54] Yeah, that's really not a lot.
[2927.54 --> 2933.20] Especially because not all the consumers are going to even claim this.
[2933.74 --> 2934.12] No.
[2934.62 --> 2937.82] The laziness will prevail in a lot of these kind of situations.
[2937.98 --> 2941.04] It's like the idea behind, like, why are there still mail-in rebates?
[2941.12 --> 2943.14] Why isn't it just automatically taken off at the till?
[2943.52 --> 2943.88] Effort.
[2943.88 --> 2945.42] Because you're probably not going to mail it in.
[2945.94 --> 2946.40] Heck no.
[2946.52 --> 2947.18] Especially now.
[2947.32 --> 2950.78] God, even when snail mail was just called mail, I wouldn't do that.
[2950.94 --> 2951.84] Yeah, yeah.
[2952.04 --> 2953.06] And most people wouldn't.
[2953.06 --> 2960.18] So the discount actually becomes, when you do the math on your end, it's not $10 off every single item that you sell.
[2960.36 --> 2963.22] It's $10 off, like, actually a pretty small portion.
[2963.46 --> 2968.68] But you will probably sell more because you can post the price as being lower.
[2968.78 --> 2970.58] Because you're like, it's lowered because of mail-in rebate.
[2970.66 --> 2971.30] But then no one does it.
[2971.54 --> 2972.98] Anyways, stupid stuff.
[2973.34 --> 2973.66] Genius.
[2974.12 --> 2974.28] Yeah.
[2974.56 --> 2976.42] So it's not even going to be close to $100,000.
[2976.42 --> 2979.86] How much is a new, like, proprietary HP ink cartridge?
[2980.58 --> 2981.14] I don't know.
[2981.14 --> 2981.50] A lot.
[2981.74 --> 2981.80] A hundred bucks?
[2981.94 --> 2982.22] Let's.
[2982.58 --> 2982.98] Woof.
[2983.44 --> 2986.18] I think it really depends on...
[2986.18 --> 2990.54] I wish I had the model number of the printer here.
[2992.58 --> 2993.98] 25, 36.
[2995.34 --> 2995.84] That's the thing.
[2995.88 --> 2997.46] It really depends on what printer it is.
[2997.52 --> 2999.48] Because, like, this HP61 thing.
[3000.68 --> 3001.56] And, like, this one.
[3002.16 --> 3003.94] But then, like, the LaserJet one's more.
[3004.04 --> 3005.76] But they said ink cartridge, so it's not that.
[3006.04 --> 3006.22] Okay.
[3007.50 --> 3008.10] I don't know.
[3008.20 --> 3009.88] It really depends on what cartridge it is.
[3009.88 --> 3012.88] Well, all I was going to say is, even if...
[3012.88 --> 3018.32] Like, half the people affected just bought ink, then they've already paid for the whole scandal.
[3018.56 --> 3021.36] So in Australia, about $60 a cartridge, apparently.
[3021.48 --> 3022.16] $60 Australian.
[3022.80 --> 3023.06] Yeah.
[3023.80 --> 3025.00] That'll be, like...
[3025.00 --> 3028.60] I think it's stronger than Canadian peso, but, like, not as strong as the U.S.
[3029.80 --> 3031.70] Someone just gave me the price per pallet.
[3032.36 --> 3032.68] That's...
[3032.68 --> 3034.20] That's cool, but...
[3034.20 --> 3034.44] That's not...
[3034.44 --> 3034.98] That's not exactly you.
[3035.06 --> 3037.06] Not particularly helpful at the moment.
[3039.20 --> 3040.36] One more topic.
[3040.66 --> 3040.88] Yeah.
