from the too-little-too-late? dept.

In a full-page ad taken out in major US newspapers on Monday, tech manufacturer Samsung has offered an apology for the Galaxy Note 7 smartphone, which was fitted with a faulty battery, leading to an unprecedented number of the devices exploding. In September of this year, Samsung issued a full recall; now it's promising to fully investigate the phone, Korea Herald reports.

"An important tenet of our mission is to offer best-in-class safety and quality. Recently, we fell short on this promise. For this we are truly sorry," the ad reads."A careful Note 7 investigation is underway and the findings will be shared when the process is complete...We will re-examine every aspect of the device, including all hardware, software, manufacturing and the overall battery structure. We will move as quickly as possible, but will take the time needed to get the right answers."

Is it too late? The devices have been exploding for months.

    That's fine and all, but you need to be more fucking careful about it. I've read your posts before, and you're better than that.

    Don't go full fucking retard like the ordinary Trumpanzees, joyfully reveling in his upcoming instances of petty vengeful activities. Which is exactly what you had threatened that person! That by just speaking about a PUBLIC figure in a way they don't like risks your human right of anonymity being taken away from you, and then consequences.. You've heard of a chilling effect right? Well you just promoted it quite heavily. This fucking cocksucker has already indicated he wants to do away with the strongest aspects of free speech, precisely so that he can in a petty fashion enjoy his revenge against the people who have slighted him in the slightest. He's complained bitterly like a petulant child about how the media gets away with attacking him.... with his own words and actions. Perish the Thought! Oh noes! I might actually have to suffer for my bombastic ways! Life is just not fair right?

    That's the president you just gleefully held up! One that would spend his time destroying our civil rights, and disrupting by force, all dissent against him. He has PLENTY for us to legitimately dissent against as well.

    You're right about one thing. He's no BUSH. While we had a few legitimate grievances with that coke head, by comparison, he's a fucking choir boy compared to the piece of shit about to infect the White House. You cannot compared the two of them, at all.

    Trump is a toxic person with horrible character flaws that has demonstrated what he does with power. Now he just got a lot more of it. YOU just threatened somebody else with that power in an effort to create the chilling effect by proxy.

    Be careful. He lost the popular vote and only won through fear. However, there is plenty of anger, hate, and frustration mixed with preexisting desperation and disillusionment. It would be wise not to push us, and even wiser to figure out ways to come back together.

    Either that, or America really is over.

    I was pretty sure that calling him "The Dear Great Leader" was sufficient to establish the tone of my comment.
    Maybe I'll try "His Wonderful Highness The Mighty Great Lord And Dear Savior" next time...

    I am deeply saddened that, after 18 months, "President Trump" stopped being a joke in itself.
