HP's recent software update bricks some OfficeJet printers

Some HP OfficeJet printers are becoming unusable after installing a recent software update from the company. The update causes the printers to show a blue screen error with the code 83C0000B, which prevents users from accessing the touchscreen to reset the device. The only way to fix the problem is to send the printer back to HP for service.

The issue affects OfficeJet 902x models, such as the Pro 9022e, Pro 9025e, Pro 9020e All-in-One, and Pro 9025e All-in-One. HP advises customers who own these printers to disconnect them from the internet to avoid downloading the faulty update. The company says it is aware of the problem and working on a solution. Customers who encounter the error can contact HP support for assistance: https://support.hp.com.

Twitter Blue subscribers can now upload longer videos up to two hours and 8GB in size. The company increased the limits to attract more content creators to the platform (or at least entice them to return and pay for its subscription service). You don't need a subscription to watch the videos, though. 

Video quality is still capped at 1080p for everyone. This update allows iOS users to upload videos in the mobile app, but Android users can only do so via a web browser.
