One or two reports could be chalked up to noise. Rossmann provided much more than that. I'm not saying he's right, I'm just saying there's sufficient evidence that I'm not just going to accept "nope, we don't do that."
We certainly need more evidence, and hopefully Rossmann's video reaches enough people to get it, one way or another. He has demonstrated admitting when he is wrong, and he has also demonstrated doing the research.
I doubt this is the last we hear about this, and I sincerely hope Brother is redeemed.
I am in no way suggesting we shouldn’t be wary and not investigate. Crappy 3rd party engineering could be an issue. Placing a declarative title with no qualification as truth (because nobody reads the article) despite the quote from the corporation itself denying it in the article shouldn’t be done. Like I said, too much of that happening these days.
Sure. However, I've seen allegations that swapping chips worked for one person and failed for another. That needs to be investigated.
Agreed. Only claim what you have the receipts for. Clickbait blows.
Yes…the engineering could have been in the chip.
The rest, we’re on the same page.
