    Those may be examples of temperate winds, but despite looking up each one of them up and trying to find anything tying them to the word “temperate,” I came up empty.

    So more specifically… do you intend “temperate winds” to mean winds that change the temperature of the surrounding area? Or are you calling them that simply because they are winds that are geographically located within the temperate zone?

    “We have seen that you can embed viruses in the cartridges. Through the cartridge, [the virus can] go to the printer, [and then] from the printer, go to the network.”

    Either this is complete bullshit or HP is over-engineering completely unnecessary vulnerabilities into their hardware. There’s no reason why a dumb ink cartridge (no DRM) would need any ability to send data to the printer other than very short messages (like a few bytes at most), so it should not be possible for an ink cartridge to give the printer a virus unless this vulnerability is the direct result of the new DRM-tracking additions.

    So HP is either malicious or incompetent, and regardless of which it is, I can’t see myself trusting another of their products ever again.
