    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.

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

          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.

              …what? Samsung is the one installing bloatware. The carrier may add their own but you can avoid that by simply not buying those locked models. You can’t avoid the Samsung bloatware.

                I dunno, dawg. I’ve been buying unlocked Samsung phones for like 10 years and I’m not sure what kind of bloatware or ads you’re talking about

                  So you have zero Samsung apps on any Samsung phones you’ve ever purchased? Lies.

    I sincerely hope he was a good man, and my heart goes out to his survivors, especially his daughter since he died at her wedding.

    I know nothing about him, and probably won’t bother learning more.

    Anyway, what does this have to do with technology? Does the other CEO have a very different plan for the company or something that this CEO was blocking? If not, this doesn’t seem all that important.

      Samsung is one of the largest tech companies in the world. I don’t think that’s debatable.

        Why? They had two co-CEOs, and now one of them died. Is it really a given they’d change direction suddenly after the other passed? Surely they’re already a known quantity in the org…
