Is LG the same brand as the printer that stopped working without a subscription? I saw it recently on Lemmy, can't remember if it was LG or maybe HP or something...

That post was HP. LG is a korean company which makes lots of home appliances like washing machines, fridges, vac cleaner, etc.

Fucking Chaebols. They’re like a Corporate Dynasty, essentially.
