    How are they unhackable? People can take them apart and access the electronics, right? We know they can be changed remotely so there has to be a way.

      There are too many models to reverse engineer them all (both hardware and firmware). HP has seriously invested in encryption to make sure you can only use new and genuine ink. It’s not that it’s unhackable, just that it’s impractical to do so, especially when you can easily just buy from another brand.
