I'm sure most of the electrical stuff today has some form of doomsday chip ticking away inside.
My HP c4480 printer software is 200mb, when you untick all the bloatware you end up with a 5mb file that actually drives the printer.
The best printer i had was an early Hp were you pulled the memory battery and used the cartridges to you hearts content. Then one day the doomsday chip kicked in and no matter what i did, it wouldn't work. Didn't even have the satisfaction of seeing it smash into pieces when i threw it on the floor, it just bounced

My wireless headset just stopped working for no reason again when i opened up the base station full of chips, who knows whats going on inside those.
