You'll have to buy a pen and use it to trace out the stuff on your screen by holding a piece of paper up to it. Until they see this hack and the system blurs the screen whenever it senses third party pens being used.
If only there was some body that could pass laws that would prevent companies from doing such things. You know, like how phones have to use common charger cables.
I appreciate the advice but be careful speaking so openly about it, the ink cabal is watching.
This is not similar at all to phone charger cables. My iPhone cables, which are now being made illegal by the EU, work perfectly (including the third-party ones).
If Apple made third party cables not work or work poorly it would be the same. But now they can't do that even if they wanted to.
I would be happy to have to throw out ink cartridges I currently use due to a law change if it meant that forever onwards I knew I could buy third party ink and use it without issues. This would also have the effect of lowering OEM ink prices because they would have to compete. Free markets only work when there is competition.

Indeed, if the situation were different, it would be the same as this one, but it’s not.

Countries need to be able to do this, you know, to disconnect all printers and screens in Russia during war.
