Those who take their Samsung Galaxy device to a repair store may get it back in pieces, since Samsung forces service providers under certain conditions to disassemble devices instead of repairing them, and to send the customer's personal data to the company. iFixit is therefore ending its cooperation with Samsung.
I mean even before that, what VP thought this was a good move?!?! Like who is going to buy your brand again? It’s more amazing Samsung is so out of touch with reality.
Companies are getting away with way too much these days.
Well, I definitely agree that corpos are getting away with too much.
The walled gardens of cellphones and whatnot creeping into vehicles, from farm equipment to consumer cars, this is just kind of ridiculous. Everyone wants to be the one-and-only that can do anything to the things you’ve purchased. We desperately need the right to repair for all things… Not just cars, phones, etc (even operating systems are trying to get into a walled garden situation).
They’ve tribalised the very concept of owning something.

Eh most people will never hear of this and if they do probably won’t care
