tbh, it is funny for a samsung fan to see apple fans getting hurt.

maybe you are on the other side and maybe because of that you didnt get the funny.

Nobody is getting hurt by it... Why would they?

It's honestly just stupid and embarrassing to anybody that supports Samsung.

It's the same idea as if Apple held up signs saying "Buy our stuff because apples taste better..."

Nobody is going to switch from Apple to Samsung because of this. Probably more so the opposite. It's just dumb and childish.

So... what are they supposed to wake up from? The dream that is well designed consumer products? :laugh:

Without biases, we wouldn't care about any of these products. They're just gadgets. The national park service should be out there with the "wake up" signs.

Apple's Mac vs. PC ads were childish, but they at least did (inaccurate) comparisons and didn't insult the target audience.

Samsung, on the other hand, is just insulting the very customers they're trying to pull over by calling them "iSheep" and telling them to "wake up." All they're really managing to do is incite the Fandroids.

That's the different right there. Mac vs PC made fun of the platform in a way that tried to relate to PC users, not insult them.

the irritating and annoying part is called the hurt...

Well yeah, if Apple sent a bunch of twats to a Samsung store and they all shouted "buy an iPhone, buy an iPhone, buy an iPhone" then all of the Samsung shoppers would be annoyed and irritated too.

Like I said, it's not funny or witty, just sad.

Heh. To be fair they do a decent job in their other product lines. Their TVs are a bit finicky - had the GPU go corrupt and spewing colored lines across the screen. Their inductive stoves are also a bit weird - the power booster for warming water shuts itself off after a few seconds and needs to be restarted. Otherwise their products are solid.

On topic, this is a bit pathetic - hell even with the smug I'm a Mac ads they didn't go as far as name calling for Christsakes. Yes they stereotyped PC users as boring busineenemy but that's up to the user's interpretation. But like with Smoked by Windows Phone, publicity is publicity, good or bad.

Samsung should take a page from Microsoft's book. Park I'm a PC booths in front of Apple stores.

If this is just about trying to convert customers then meh don't care. Android has its religious followers just like apple.

If it was about the stupid patent war going on between them (and a bunch of other companies as well) then I'd more inclined to agree with them.

The interesting (and worrying) thing about this is that its a symptom of how the market dictate people's life.

Brands have become a dogmatic exercise, you just need to take a look at certain members of this board, like Boz (sorry, but it's the true) or any Apple/Android/Whatever fanboy.

This is nice ad campaign by samsung!! with all the bitching response I am sure is a huge success because thats what Samsung wanted... Funny how people cant stand the ads... haha laughable.

So you're saying Samsung wanted to incite fanboyism and alienate/insult potential customers? Interesting marketing tactic.

    • Meta is reusing old DDR4 RAM in its servers instead of buying new hardware

      The fact that memory in general is so high I have to take a loan out to build a computer now is just beyond stupid. Who's really to blame here? Low supply or high demand?
    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 changelog: Added 'Reset to recommended' button for the Options. General fixes and improvements.

WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      "over a thousand engineering hours" and started selling it but could not take a couple of minuets to send an AI email to ask permission. What an expensive lesson.
