I don't have an opinion on the man personally, but I won't buy a Samsung TV as they are ad riddled, terrible to use and are pretty fragile.

My 16 year old Samsung TV would like to argue otherwise! It's a beast and 1080p is plenty good for me! But my Samsung kitchen? Holy crap it's all so terrible...

You bought before all the SmartTV nonsense then. So did I, and my Samsung TV is still doing well. I bought it >10 years ago to watch the Olympics or something with my in-laws, and now it's still trucking along just fine in my bedroom (eventually got a bigger LG for the main room). No issues whatsoever.

And their oversaturated, over sharpened pictures just look nasty to me.

They have commercial tvs for kiosks, hotels, etc though a bit more expensive don’t have any of that junk.

Phones are the same. Haven't touched them since the S6.

My Samsung monitor (which was very expensive) also has hardware deficiencies, leading to broken images and flickering.

The phones are absolutely not the same, you just have a shitty carrier that installed extra stuff on your phone

[–] oppy1984@lemm.ee 14 points 6 days ago

I bought my Samsung phone directly from Samsung and my carrier is a BYOB Mobile Virtual Network Operator. Before I ever connected my new phone to the carrier network it was riddled with bloatware that I can't uninstall. Yes carriers are guilty of installing crap, but Samsung is just as guilty.

I've bought several Samsung phones over the years and this is the second factory direct phone I've received that was like this, they didn't used to do this crap. Since this seems to be the norm now this will probably be the last Samsung I buy and when it's time to replace I'll just get a pixel and flash grapheneos on it, been curious about trying that anyway.

I had a Samsung phone (A20E) which was by some margin the most terrible piece of technology I've ever used. Barely functional a couple weeks from buying. This is anecdotal, of course, but since those are mass-produced and supposedly identical from unit to unit...
