Samsung did have a major problem early last year, but it seems to be limited to a run of products with a specific firmware.

This was news at the time, but the truth is that they blocked BT traffic from US servers, not worldwide.

And even if you can’t install it on a locked-down device, there’s a portable version, too. Install on any removable media (from another machine, to be fair) and it will run from USB without installation.

This is it. Companies make bad decisions all the time, but they can sometimes be shown why their decision is a bad one, and reverse course. All the interviews with Spez the last two weeks show that he may actually be a sociopath. He doesn’t see the people who provide all the value to Reddit as actual people, and won’t listen to their concerns at all.
