Brother denies using firmware updates to brick printers with third-party ink
Brother: Updates aren’t behind degradation of quality or removal of features.

“Third party ink” existing as a phrase is the problem.

Meh, I think it's pretty straight forward. It's just a description of the scenario.
Mario games are first party content, because they're made by the same company that makes the console. This says nothing positive or negative about the game, just who developed it.
I've used printers that don't have cartridges, instead they just have ink wells you can fill with any ink. You do have more freedom with ink choices, but they're a different kind of hassle. It's not simply a better solution.
(Speaking of solutions, sometimes the ink you buy is more of a suspension than a solution, and it'll clump up and dry in the feed hoses, a real pain in the ass.)

I get what you're saying but agree with the other guy. Just saying brother's ink or toner is first party instantly makes it sound like other brands are inferior. Just because you're intelligent enough to know that's not true doesn't mean everyone is. If recent history has taught me anything, it's that the average person is far less intelligent than you'd assume.

Brother was the last decent printer company, wasn't it?
