They did (in the US). Bain Capital bled them dry and then sold off the scraps. There have been a few attempts to revive the brand but to my knowledge nothing has stuck yet.

This is exactly it. But it doesn’t fit on a hat or bumper sticker so the details get ignored.

Fucking brilliant.

…holy crap there are more 🤣

I used to love Al-generated content when I was a kid. Still do, but I used to, too.

By all means primary one of those democrats who voted for this out if you can

Big if, in some cases. My aye-affirming rep ran unopposed in this primary, and I can’t remember the last time there was a challenger. For my part I did a write in vote, but seeing as his big brother has a stranglehold on a LOT of business/politics/douchebaggery in the state, I don’t see this changing any time soon.

until we come up with a solution to this “infinite growth” problem.

This is why cancer research is so important. But for now, we can try the old standbys of surgical removal and full-system poison.

Just another Tuesday in our boring dystopia.

Well I’m glad to hear you had a better experience than I did. I have my fingers crossed that everything holds up on this end, and the washer was a freak occurrence.

you want reliable? go with LG or GE.

Going to have to disagree based on personal experience (which admittedly has limited value). Bought LG washer, dryer, and fridge when we moved. The washer blew the clutch seal after about 4 and a half years. The dryer sensor is unreliable (leading to taking jeans or blankets out, them still being damp, and having to put them back in on a timer). And the fridge compressor sounds like it’s struggling.

The most absurd part is that we replaced the washer with a similar LG model (one with an agitator - I looked into just replacing the part but it was half the price of the washer, the underside of the impeller was moldy because lack of water flow, something no amount of tub clean cycles will fix, and the outer bucket was absolutely disgusting from the leak, with no easy way to hose it out) because everything else was either crap, ridiculously expensive, or both.

I hate this timeline.

The last application I wrote in VBA/Excel is still running 24/7 on a big screen in the command center of a company that was purchased for several billion dollars.

And yes, there are multiple database sheets. Filled with data scraped from another database. Data that was being written down on paper before I arrived and decided to learn VBA instead of develop permanent hand cramps.

Samsung never met a bad idea they couldn’t help but imitate.

That sounds like a nightmare.
