 Probably unrelated to batterie, still...

 

fire broke out in a Chinese factory that makes batteries for Samsung’s explosion-prone Galaxy Note 7 smartphones on Wednesday morning.

Samsung SDI Co., a supplier of batteries to the Galaxy Note 7, said a “minor fire” broke out in the plant in suburban Tianjin’s Wuqing district but was quickly put out.

No one was injured in the incident, news portal Sina.com.cn reported.

Samsung remains the hottest tech company out there. :rofl:

 

(And no, the joke has not gotten old. As long as reports like this about Samsung continue to explode into the headlines and burn up the news feeds, the joke will keep being rekindled.)

You'd think Samsung's marketing department would try to find ways to prevent more fuel being added to the fire ... :p

True, and we know Samsung wants their products to be hotter than the competition.

Who knows? Maybe it's just a smokescreen?

Good point. After the Note 7 fiasco, consumers are on a short fuse!

They have good reason to be.

Especially after the lengths Samsung went to, to ensure customers returned their phones.

Hell the whole thing was fuming, not to mention the blast to their reputation

Samsung is pretty much walking on hot coals, trying to prevent customers from going ballistic.

I'm sure they'll recover, they're a huge electronics company with many divisions, one bad egg model in their phones hasn't exactly demolished their operations

True. They haven't totally burned their bridges yet.

    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays

      The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?

      Ooooh! Two editorial from Paul Hill on the same day! Is it my birthday or something? 😉 Okay, let's see if I get it right. SearXNG develops a meta-search engine app. Individuals install it on their relays. Users connect to these relays to have their own identity-stripping meta-search engine instead of relying on DuckDuckGo. And some of these volunteers have listed their SearXNG instances on SearX.space. That was a lot of wrap my head around. I hope I haven't missed anything.
