Show HN: Resend/Loops alternative with back end written using Swift
IndiePitcher (https://indiepitcher.com) is email solution for tech companies allowing to send transactional/marketing emails, and manage email list subscriptions (like stripe subscription management portal).
An interesting fact for this community might be that the backend is a monolith written using Swift programming language (that one from Apple to make iPhone apps) using Vapor framework (https://vapor.codes), so I thought that I'd share it here.

HP blocks printing with non-HP inks
From Joshua Weiner, replying to his friend Darin[0]:
I was printing worksheets for my classes and ran out of colored ink. The printer had plenty of black ink. HP internet blocked my printer saying I purchased colored ink that was not HP brand. So what?? Anyway, I had reinstalled HP ink for black ($40 approx) but had no money to buy colored ink so I left the empty HP cartridges in the printer. I only needed to print black and white worksheets.
HP blocked me from printing anyway, with a wireless message. I called customer support and told them I don’t need the colored ink. I need to get these worksheets to the students. They told me I violated the HP ink rule and had installed non-HP ink a few months ago. I told them well… yeah I did that purchase but HP printer rejected the cheaper brand and I threw them away. They said it is noted…
I told them who cares all the HP ink is now in place and I need to use the large black ink cartridge. They needed video proof. I let the customer support wench Marissa use my cell phone camera to prove I had empty colored HP and HP black installed. She said it was good. Then I was told I had to buy colored ink $58.72 and put the new ink in place if I wanted to use my printer again. Paid them the damn money and should have the ink in seven days.
She gave me a 15% discount but it is from HP website and the prices are inflated anyway.
