    Samsung makes consumer grade products that are “easily” replaced or fixed. Boeing makes shit for the US military, and they will 100% get what’s coming to them when a Boeing military project spontaneously combusts.

      I do sort of feel that Samsung got a bit of a bad rep for their phones exploding because it wasn’t really their fault. The company that made the batteries took shortcuts in the manufacturing process and that’s what caused the fires. If they had followed the instructions Samsung had given them they would have been okay.

      Although equally the company wouldn’t have felt the need to take shortcuts if Samsung had made the batteries to a standard design.

      Go look up what Samsung started out selling. They make a ton of military shit too just mostly for their own country.

        Samsung’s military shit did not explode, their main sources of revenue do not involve the military anymore, and the reason for the explosion was identified and resolved.

        Boeing, however, have multiple faults in fields that do deal with the military, this doesn’t end well.
