Wait. What? Is this real? Firmware and drivers behind a pay wall? Are they insane?

Zero day patch? Fuck you, pay me. Firmware update for your SAN controller? Fuck you, pay me. Doesn't matter, it's all profit.

Yeah. Even legacy stuff. Want to fire up that old server? Need new firmware for it? Guess what. Now it needs to be on contract or HP won't lift a finger to give you old software they already have.
