    More than likely the vendor will have retired that model and warranty support will have run out. They'd rather sell you another one than have to continue support on an outdated model. Especially a variation of an outdated model.

  3. Re: you no longer own your devices on Samsung May Permanently Disable Galaxy Note 7 Phones In The US As Soon As Next Week (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Perhaps. But those decisions are left to duly elected officials, ultimately responsible to the people. They haven't received a request or a mandate to perform this function. In this case, a company is deciding they know what's best for you, and are breaking your equipment on purpose. I'm pretty sure I can't just walk up to a note 7 owner, grab the phone out of his hand and smash it on the ground.

  4. That was actually cited as a feature. Ford's claim was having it default to your Bluetooth device could have drained user's phone battery if they were unaware they were synced. That being said, it's bulls*** and I want it to sync automatically!

    Is that discount chain a media related product? Because if it's not then it meets their criteria.

    So why then are you trying to impose real world borders on the data?

  7. Not the Law Enforcement Agency (Corporation?)'s fa on Massachusetts SWAT Teams Claim They're Private Corporations, Immune To Oversight · · Score: 1

    The lack of compeitition... that problems on the government's side for allowing it. Actually, the majority of the fault is with the local government for allowing this. From what I've read, the police are legally right. If the state doesn't like it, they should change they're own laws, not fault a company for abiding by them. Now, that being said... they should definetly change the laws/situation... because police with no oversight is a very bad idea.

    It sounds like you're trying to ask a rhetorical question... But it comes across as "Shit, maybe I should make some money!". Why yes...yes you should.
