They use the small flash inside the DRM chip in the cartridge to store the telemetry, then the e-waste companies are paid by HP to read and send to the mothership the contents of the chips sent to recycle

Even if you block the printer from sending data back to HP, the printer stores the data on a chip in the printer. When you finally send the printer to be recycled, they recover the data from the recycling company.
The chip is on the cartridge, so they can retrieve it constantly as you buy new ones
I don’t use official cartridges and bin them afterwards when they’re empty
Haha, I should have reread when I translated. You clearly say the data is saved on and the DRM is on the cartridge.
Sounds like a good job for a 5 pound sledge hammer. Ain’t nobody getting data off of micro chip dust.
