I'll be respectful here. Given the decade plus experience with Lithium-Ion and the numbers of manufacturers of cells and components and the engineering literature,
I find it difficult to believe that other companies had not identified a fault that only Samsung found after about a dozen years of high volume use of these batteries.
Making things like BandAids and tooth brushes today would be impossibly expensive without totally automated production. Automation in manufacturing is generically at least a century old.
Originally in pre-Christian times, the only people who could afford steel blades were the rich. Bessemer invented the oxygen furnace just before the US Civil War which "automated" the ability to convert iron to steel allowing the world to have massive amounts of steel at low cost.
That put a lot of less efficient people out of business to put it generically, but then created untold jobs in manufacturing items out of steel for the benefit of man.
Automation now can allow products to be made that would be too expensive for the average consumer to buy if they were not produced by automation.
Annodizing aluminum results in a converted surface layer of Aluminum oxide. Just leaving a clean Aluminum plate out on your table causes a slow buildup of Aluminum oxide.
To put an Iron oxide layer on steel, just put your steel plate on wet grass and leave it there until it is rusted to suit.
OK, and how many of "humanity" do we need to keep alive?
We have maybe a billion people a century ago and 7 billion now. Is it any wonder that feeding and housing 6 billion additional people causes changes?
Let's face it, "humanity" on the Earth is a very temporary condition. There are all sorts of long and short cycles and within the span of future recorded history, Manhattan will again be covered in ice as it has many times before.
Ultimately the Sun will claim the Earth no matter what the angst of the moment is related through the media.
This is an indication of a huge problem in Samsung's management in so many ways. Competent engineers all over the world understand the design & manufacturing & use issues.
High level managers had to pressure the "Note 7" division leaders to ignore everything but getting their advanced phone out in front of the iPhone. Heads must roll.,
And the reason the 'D' team is they don't funnel money to their supporters in so many ways, they use dump trucks to deliver it to favored entities at a new rate of an additional $1 trillion per year. over the time when the Bushes were President.
VERY Interesting: If an automated BOT went around and commandeered unsecured IOT devices and simply destroyed them, that would solve one problem. People would quickly learn to secure their IOT devices.

Their rules are law.

If Samsung didn't know from their internal engineers within 2 weeks of the problem, they have a shitty engineering/QC organization.
Seems like that is what goes on when a book is needed.
Not every library can keep every book forever in paper copies.
After all, since the guy used to work under Erdogan, I'm surprised the Russians even have the killer's phone.
THIN YES !!! Make it modular and stack up the components you need for pro work. Put it vertical or horizontal with access ports on both sides.
Citing vague stats as 'more than ever' is so blatantly stupid as to imply their buyers are swayed by such crap.
The government wants back doors on demand, but sooner or later a government worker will see the opportunity to sell the details ...
And he then retires.

Let a mechanical thermostat be the default control when the computer fails, regardless of why!
Default ought to return to my 80 year old, still working bimetallic thermostat, with no electronics. Never failed in 80 years.

Enjoy life now. It ends. It ALWAYS does.
I will guarantee can't be hacked electronically and will sell you one.
Keep popping up.
So how many programmers have put in ostensible 'back doors' or let us say 'faults' so they can sell those "mistakes" to hackers for big $s.
Come on now, don't tell me the programmers in China and Taiwan are STUPID.
Don't-Can't leak much info.
Email only encrypted files from your laptop, no text. Oops, computers can be hacked, too.

When is the whole www going to implement a system to disconnect items on the last leg of an internet connection when misbehavior occurs?
If 100 users get disconnected and 99 all pounce on the guy responsible for having a Bot-IOT device.
At least I can dream.
I need an AI app to filter out the crud and look for significant items; very few items per day.
Then the spending on security will go up.
McLaren's technology group also does design for products from bicycles to other products and not all wind up "luxury" priced.
I doubt Apple's first car will be $30,000. Try 3 times that price.
They are as meticulous as Apple when it comes to analysis and design and production.
Consumer Product Safety Commission did a mandatory recall, right?
