Yeah, the are many other reasons I don't buy Samsung anymore but a singular PoS employee that did something they made good on wouldn't be a reason to quit. Now if this was a common behaviour by employees that would be a different thing but I don't think there's a rash of TV-slitting assholes working for them.

My bank blocked a payment to my mortgage lender (I had more than enough money in the bank, but they had a bunch on hold when I transferred a recent deposit to savings).

The agent for the broker that called asked for a bunch of information that they should have had. I hung and and called back to find it was a legit call, but let then know that I their rep really sounded like a scammer and they should probably update their scripts

It's dumb, but it's also possible that a combination of those terms hads been adopted by some group distributing CSAM.

At one point, "cheese pizza" was a term they apparently used on YouTube videos etc due to it having the same abbreviation as CP (Child Pornography).

Sick fucks ruining everything for everyone

That brings up a question, is that 410g required to be just the edible product or could it include the weight of the packaging?

The same people that would use the "they made the software that was used for infringement" will be the ones stating that "the manufacturer of this firearm is not responsible for it being used in this mass-shooting".

Kinda funny how the main driving point behind their argument is "does this affect me and my bottom line"

Sounds like part of the issue might be that your not-so-cheap storage might still be using the cheap components...

There's plenty of stuff that masquerades as trusted brands, ends up mixed in the inventory of a certain large etailer and is actually fake crap under the hood. There's also the real brands' merch that can be good but make a run with cheap components in the name of cutting costs, or with flakey firmware that may cost reliability for a slight uptick in performance. A certain brand of SSD had the latter issue years ago, and it's looks like there's a lawsuit against Western Digital for that currently.

It's not entirely uncommon for the latter to happen. Some greyhats have done similar things to clear out botnets in the past. It still counts as unauthorized access to a system though so most avoid doing so even if the intended result is beneficial

To be honest, I haven't had many issues with AA. My wife's car has AA and it's been better than the mutant abortion of a manufacturer-designed interface that my older car has.

At the same time, they don't really behave that much differently from some humans that have been sucked down the path of various conspiracy theories. For a lot of those, the first "lesson" is 'everyone else is wrong and have been deceived or are trying to trick you, trust nobody but us'. From there, some people end up going down the rabbit-hole to become "Sovereign Citizens" or storm congress.

Do you trust the $4 tester from China to test the suspect cheap cables from China?
