It was a Note 2 and I didn't say it didn't get any updates I said it didn't get enough updates. One 4.4.2 update in 2 years and possibly one other while numerous security vulnerabilities went unpatched before and after that update is shocking. Stop getting hysterical just because I'm telling you my actual experience. I own a Nexus 6 now which gets updated regularly because Google aren't as incompetent as Samsung.
Yeah it's all the carriers' fault. Samsung are perfect in every way. Except they aren't. I'm never buying a Samsung again because they're poor quality, filled with bloatware and security bugs go unfixed. I had a carrier-free Note 2 and yet the 4.4 update took an eternity to come out. Meanwhile they didn't bother to fix any of the security bugs in their 4.2 firmware or any of the others in the 4.4 after it was finally released. No danger of getting Lollipop for it either. I've now got a Nexus 6 that is updated regularly. Fuck Samsung and fuck all you weirdo Samsung fanbois.
I was a Samsung customer. I have first hand experience of their uselessness. The telco here in the UK wasn't the issue. Samsung just had no interest in providing any updates.
It's a bit easier to afford to eat than it is to afford treatment for chronic illnesses. Are there charities in the US that will meet your health care bills when you can't do it yourself because you're too poor to afford insurance?
They launched the first satellites, the first man into space and who could forget the great day when the employees of a mega corp walked on the moon. Their nuclear reactors are incredible too.
Do geeks very laid more now? Do they get hassled less? Do women swoon and men feel small at the sound of a Star Wars quote from a neckbeard? The mainstream may have appropriated geek things but little has changed for the average geek. Just watch Big Bang Theory for an example of how geeks are viewed.

Not in the UK it isn't.

Like the Linux kernel to which they are big contributors? You can already run Ubuntu and Centos Linux on Azure. This is just another option.
Because my phone was carrier free.

They're hopeless at providing updates.

Spoken like someone who's never had a job in IT.
What happens to the sick when they are unable to get treatment? Should they be abandoned?
That's about 400lb. Quite a few humans weigh more than that.
LMFAO.
White males are always the enemy. Look what they did to Joss Whedon, despite his obvious feminist leanings.
Stupid and wrong like repeatedly misspelling bowel?
Smith?
Poltergeist I think. It's been a while.
Seems to work pretty well in Norway, Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands and many others.
Being ill with no way of affording the treatment is freedom? Your dictionary must be very different to mine.

How can violent crime be going up when you have these magical items that lower crime just by existing?

Hooray smash the patriarchy!
You mean use?
No people voluntarily sleep rough to own one when they can just order one over the Internet. There's something seriously messed up about that.
They're all fabulously wealthy patriarchs who run the world.
