Re: "Now if you really want to get me going, lets talk about the chips that are put into ink cartridges to turn off the ink when the cartridge gets low. "

I certainly agree that this practice deserves a rant.

Perhaps not quite as bad but something I would consider a design fault is when color printers disable printing when one color runs out. You might have black, cyan, magenta, and yellow. Say blue runs out. Now you can't even print black text.
