increasing from $0.20 each to $0.24 each in the United States. To put that into perspective, in Q3 2025, HP sold 15,002,000 laptops and desktops

“This is pretty ridiculous, given these systems are $800+ a machine

I wonder how long the list of these fees for one machine is

That's about a $600,000 savings for that quarter, for a company that reported $13.9 billion in revenue for Q3 2025.

It would be cruel of us to ask them to only have $13,899,400,000 in revenue that quarter instead of $13,900,000,000

Revenue wouldn't change from this, only expenses and profit.

Yeah, I was just riffing from the other post but you're right, that's not how that works.

Someone was a doing a lot of hard work subtracting big scary numbers in their budget sheet.

I wonder what they spent paying people to implement and communicate this change.

At 600k for a company that size this cost them more money than just paying the extra 4 cents.
