They use the small flash inside the DRM chip in the cartridge to store the telemetry, then the e-waste companies are paid by HP to read and send to the mothership the contents of the chips sent to recycle

There is not a day that goes by that I don’t wish open source 2d printers where technically easy to make.
I don’t know about being easy to make but it may be easy to buy one soon-ish.

Yeah, I saw that around. It looks really fucking cool, but it still relies on a proprietary print head IIRC.
I don’t want to be perfectionist, it is a good step in the right direction, so I do still appreciate the project. I especially appreciate that it uses paper rolls instead.
