Samsung is forever dead to me. A couple years ago I was working with a customer, showing them something on my phone. In the middle of the interaction, actively using my phone, Samsung forced it to reboot for an update I never agreed to.

..and fucking bricked my phone. Right there on the spot in the middle of a sale.

Plus the whole Tizen situation on the Gear watches was incredibly disappointing. I paid all kinds of money for a nice watch that had zero utility outside of Samsung's tiny, tiny walled garden and their very few, very broken apps. I'll never not be mad about it.



Are you me? Around 4-5 years ago I had a very important doctor appointment, my Samsung phone just decided to die on a way there.
