with my eyes closed, I think it was airing during the night here, and even if it didn’t, I wouldn’t.

Unfortunately any automated translation I’ve seen on various websites is garbage to the target language. I wish it wasn’t. But we’re a long way off from good translation on certain languages.

Unfortunately the only reason we have streaming services is because of the ease of built-in subtitles that are a pain in the ass to otherwise get (not English).

I lived in a country where spotify wasn’t available, so I never stopped. Now that I’m in a country where it is available, I just don’t want to spend the cash on it, since all these streaming services have me over a barrel.

It is tested. In court. https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2012-07/cp120094en.pdf

if you live in the EU you own your digital purchases.

The only reason I could see them region locking is because they must sell them cheaper in one region vs another. But it’s unlikely that they’d sell them cheap enough that people couple buy them, then ship them for any significant savings (or any savings) at all over their locally available ones.

I already contacted HP about resetting the region, that isn’t an issue. I’ve also used third party cartridges in the past with it, I just wasn’t sure if those were still region locked or not, as I know the third party places there actually had an exchange program where they took back your old cartridge (you got a discount) and I assume they reused it by refilling it somehow.

It wasn’t an HP printer when I bought it, it was samsung, and it’s a very good printer.

I have the colour laser jet as I’m printing things that will be kept around like print and play games, or standees for skirmish/rpg games. I may give it a go on one colour though and see. I just wasn’t sure if the official and region locking part of these cartridges was in the same bit or if it was something that might have to be bypassed separately. But if you’re getting cartridges from aliexpress then it’s probably fine.

The printer is a samsung originally, HP owns their overseas business, and they have an identical model here just branded with HP. it’s a really good printer. It’s the Samsung version of the HP Color Laser 178nw.

Which makes me think that the 3rd party replacement cartridges would be fine, I’d just like to know for sure before wasting money on them. I actually don’t mind the original cartridges. We did replace our yellow with a 3rd party cartridge at one point and you could actually see a difference, but for the time being I just want to get as much as we can out of our old cartridges before making the official switch.
