New top story on Hacker News: PSA: Cancelling HP Instant Ink subscription prevents cartridges from being used

PSA: Cancelling HP Instant Ink subscription prevents cartridges from being used
17 by wfme | 19 comments on Hacker News.
I bought an HP printer that came with an HP Instant Ink subscription a year ago. The subscription promises to send you ink when you're running low as long as you print within the designated number of pages. I recently changed my card and figured I would let the subscription expire. Fast forward to today. I go to print something and find that the printer is "unable to print" even though there is ample ink left in the cartridges. I press a button on the printer and it spits out a report that states the printer is unable to print, except for printer reports (!). I dig a little (since the error message they show provides no additional information beyond not being able to print) and find this thread [0] in their support forum. It turns out that once the subscription is cancelled or suspended, you are no longer able to use the ink that has been sent to you. Some even report not being able to print with cartridges they bought independently. It turns out that their terms state that you're buying the ability to print x pages and the ink is actually always owned by HP, even when in your possession. This has to be one shadiest and just overall worst product experiences I've come across in a while. Printers have always been a bit of a pain but since when did they have to be near permanently connected to the internet else threaten to cut you off from all of their capabilities.

Show HN: A simple echo server for testing HTTP clients
14 by __s__ | 5 comments on Hacker News.
I have developed an application called "echoserver" and I would like to share its details on Hacker News. The purpose of "echoserver" is to simplify the testing of HTTP clients. It functions as an echo server, meaning it responds to requests by echoing back the received data. This allows users to simulate various server responses and test their HTTP clients accordingly. With "echoserver," users can generate custom responses by specifying the desired status code, headers, and response body. This flexibility enables thorough testing of HTTP clients and simplifies the process of verifying client behavior under various scenarios. Whether it's testing error handling, handling specific headers, or evaluating performance under different response sizes, "echoserver" provides a convenient solution. Overall, "echoserver" aims to streamline the testing process for developers and enhance their ability to verify the functionality and robustness of their HTTP clients. Its simplicity, versatility, and user-friendly interface make it an invaluable tool in the development and testing workflow. I invite the Hacker News community to explore and provide feedback on the app, as I believe it has the potential to greatly benefit developers and testers worldwide.

Show HN: Oblivus GPU Cloud – Affordable and scalable GPU servers from $0.29/hr
20 by oblivuslimited | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Greetings HN! This is Doruk from Oblivus, and I'm excited to announce the launch of our platform, Oblivus Cloud. After more than a year of beta testing, we're excited to offer you a platform where you can deploy affordable and scalable GPU virtual machines in as little as 30 seconds! https://ift.tt/CAQv6T9 - What sets Oblivus Cloud apart? At the start of our journey, we had two primary goals in mind: to democratize High-Performance Computing and make it as straightforward as possible. We understand that maintaining GPU servers through major cloud service providers can be expensive, with hidden fees adding to the burden of running and maintaining servers. Additionally, the cloud can sometimes be overly complex for individuals who don't have much knowledge but still require powerful computing resources. That's why we decided to create a platform that offers affordable pricing, easy usability, and high-quality performance. - Features 1. Fully customizable infrastructure that lets you switch between CPU and GPU configurations to suit your needs. 2. Transparent and affordable per-minute-based Pay-As-You-Go pricing with no hidden fees. Plus, free data ingress and egress. (Pricing: https://ift.tt/xTnBs5p ) 3. Optimized cost with storage and IP address-only billing when the virtual machine is shut down. 4. Each virtual machine comes with 10Gbps to 40Gbps public network connectivity. 5. NVMe ($0.00011/GB/hr) and HDD ($0.00006/GB/hr) storage that is 3x replicated to fulfill your storage needs. 6. Choose from a variety of cutting-edge CPUs and 10 state-of-the-art GPU SKUs. (Availability: https://ift.tt/2JClt0v ) 7. OblivusAI OS images come with pre-installed ML libraries, so you can start training your models right away without the hassle of installing and configuring the necessary libraries. 8. If you're working with a team, utilize our organization feature to simplify the billing process. Everyone in your organization uses the same billing profile, so you don't need to keep track of multiple accounts. 9. No quotas or complex verification processes. Whether you represent a company, an institution, or you're a researcher, you have full access to our infrastructure without any limitations. 10. Easy-to-use API with detailed documentation so that you can integrate your code with ours. - Pricing At Oblivus Cloud, we provide pricing that is affordable, transparent, and up to 80% cheaper than major cloud service providers. Here is a breakdown of our pricing: 1. CPU-based virtual machines starting from just $0.019/hour. 2. NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000s starting from $0.27/hour. 3. Tesla V100s starting from $0.51/hour. 4. NVIDIA A40s and RTX A6000s starting from $1.41/hour. We also offer 6 other GPU SKUs to help you accurately size your workloads and only pay for what you need. Say goodbye to hidden fees and unpredictable costs. If you represent a company, be sure to register for a business account to access even better pricing rates. - Promo Code Join us in celebrating the launch of Oblivus Cloud by claiming your $1 free credit! This may sound small, but it's enough to get started with us and experience the power of our platform. With $1, you can get over 3 hours of computing on our most affordable GPU-based configuration, or over 50 hours of computing on our cheapest CPU-based configuration. To redeem this free credit, simply use the code HN_1 on the 'Add Balance' page after registration. Register now at https://ift.tt/H6xSMri - Quick Links Website: https://oblivus.com/ Console: https://ift.tt/Z4ytpD8 Company Documentation: https://ift.tt/Xe3kG6J API Documentation: https://ift.tt/3vSqJyO If you have any questions, feel free to post them below and I'll be happy to assist you.
