I bought an HP in March 2020 when my job went remote and HP bricked it remotely after only 100 pages because I wouldn't sign up for their subscription program. Ended up trashing a perfectly good printer.
Luckily my library's close by and I can print there remotely.
Lol, we've known about Bluetooth tracking for YEARS. Apple released the iBeacon in 2013, so this isn't even remotely a controversial statement, unless you've been living under a rock. Add on the BT tracking we hear about for LPRs, and you can easily see why someone wouldn't want to keep the radio active
