Just like sitting on a jet, where I tear off the cover of the airline magazine and cover the screen, I'd do the same thing to a fridge.

But Samsung as a brand left a long time ago from this household.

I use various browser plugins for the same reason, and delete selected cookies from my cache because they're not paying rent.

Fridge ads? If they were the best rated and most reliable, I'd still tape something over the screen. Billboards are bad enough. Not in my kitchen.

Huh, sounds neat. Glad to hear there are some sort of alternatives to Ticketmaster for at least some independent venues.

Part of the problem is that trains are really, really heavy. A double-decker passenger train car might weigh 180,000 pounds and carry only 100 people, for a total weight of 1,800 pounds per car plus the person. So you're carrying half the weight of that Prius. The trains are still vastly more efficient because you have one powertrain accelerating all of those people in Priuses (Prii?) instead of hundreds, they accelerate and decelerate slowly (and rarely), they have low rolling resistance, etc.

Imagine how much more efficient they would be if train cars were improved with modern technology to bring the weight down.

Wow. Their refrigerators reportedly have among the worst reliability stats out of all the major brands, but ads are the reason you're rejecting them? I'm kind of assuming the ads are to recover the unexpectedly high cost of warranty repairs and food loss claims. :-)

Having used a lot of their Blu-Ray players and TVs over the years, Samsung reached peak ensh*ttification a long time ago, IMO. What remains is the long-tail death spiral.

All they need to do is tie the ticket purchase to an identity and require ID at the door while allowing returns on the tickets for when things go wrong and someone can't make the show. There's no legitimate need for a resale market for tickets if things are set up properly.

This is an attempt to get into the Chromebook market, particularly education. Schools aren't going to tell parents that they need to buy a $1,500 Macbook, but a $250 Chromebook isn't out of the question.

It will be interesting to see how badly crippled it is by software lockdowns. Mac App Store only? Or even iPad OS.

Either way it shows just how far ahead they are, and how ineffective the export ban on Nvidia chips is. Even if a domestic chip is only half as efficient as an Nvidia one, it's not going to raise the cost of training AI models enough to matter.

This also makes the Chinese tech much more attractive to other countries as it's not such a huge environmental disaster.

Consumers need to reject it. Return the fridge if an update brings ads.

In countries with stronger consumer rights there is little question that this kind of enshittification would be a refund issue. It fundamentally changes the product, intrudes into your private space with unwanted and obnoxious ads, and it cannot be repaired.

Find the uart pins for the console and see if they left the root password blank.

Crossed them off the list.

It's not being a Luddite to want LESS FEATURES. The Keep It Simple, Stupid principle seems to be greatly ignored today, at the peril of manufacturers. Build something simple and reliable, and they will come.

Projectors were a good way to avoid smart features on TVs for a while as modern ones are really good but we're starting to see them there as well. It sucks.

"TSMC and Samsumg have fabs in the USoA"

How long before the tangerine terror fucks that up?

The people who upgrade ram in their laptops are probably like 1% of the total market. Most are bought by corps or individuals who treat them as an appliance.

There's no reason to kill ARC because it's only taking sales Nvidia didn't want.
