🇺🇸 : So they can autonomously democratize some of the oil trapped in the Middle East and then bring it back home, too? 🇺🇸

So was the Note 7

They are. That's all we buy for TVs. Monitors are great too. Have super fancy ones at work. Not that I go to the office much, because that place sucks.

Samsung is scum. They are cheating on tests.

Won't argue with that. But I do like my Samsung devices. Won't vouch for their (or any company, really) ethics tho.

I got an LG last time, never again, WebOS is trash and there is no way to flash anything else on it. I'm kinda over smart tvs all around, but if I have to get one it will run that shit.

I really wanted to like things like WebOS and Firefox OS, but here we are. Just never panned out.

My next TV is gonna be a projector. I only ever use it at night for movie/shows occasionally. I don't really need a TV, my pc is what I'm using most days.

My Samsung fridge has been fantastic over the past 10 years but for one thing. The control panel is borked so I can't actually change any settings lol. But as it stands, doing a solid job.

yeah they are okay when they work but repairs are more difficult to do than other manufacturers, and parts are hard to come by

They also make some fantastic solid surface counter tops that are pretty nice budget replacements for higher end stone counters.

So random.

Largest cargo manufacturer, apartment builder and they used to make cars.

They have a lot of divisions under their main.
