Chronicling a body of evidence demonstrating that the U.S. government is horrifyingly tyrannical at almost every level, and authoritarianism, cronyism and corruption have poisoned almost every aspect of American life. We show the very real need for Americans to follow through on the Founding Fathers' instructions to overthrow their government and the evil corporations that control it.

If you find a news article or dumb corporate bigot on Twitter that has said or done something so egregious that it made you wonder why Americans don't band together and do something about those motherfuckers, it belongs here.

How are they unhackable? People can take them apart and access the electronics, right? We know they can be changed remotely so there has to be a way.

There are too many models to reverse engineer them all (both hardware and firmware). HP has seriously invested in encryption to make sure you can only use new and genuine ink. It's not that it's unhackable, just that it's impractical to do so, especially when you can easily just buy from another brand.
