This guy bought Samsung’s 990 Pro 4 TB SSD when it was ~$330 and now Samsung REFUSES to replace it as the SSD now costs ~$950 due to the AI boom.

The SSD came with a 5-year warranty but started malfunctioning after just one year.

He sent Samsung evidence showing the drive was malfunctioning. Samsung rejected his claim, said it was working fine, and mailed it back to him.

When asked for a replacement, Samsung said the SSD was “out of stock” and couldn’t be replaced, offering only a refund of the original ~$330 purchase price.

The problem? The same SSD is currently IN STOCK and selling for around $950, so the refund wouldn’t even buy a replacement.

He’s now taking legal action against Samsung.

At this point, replacing the SSD would’ve probably been cheaper for Samsung than fighting the lawsuit. 😭

The working prototype of the @clickskeyboard Communicator is finally here!

I'm away for a couple weeks of travel but @JeffGadway does an amazing job of showcasing Communicator's early features. Can't wait to get my hands on it!

Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron are facing a new federal antitrust lawsuit in the US that accuses them of working together to keep DRAM production artificially low, leading to higher RAM prices.

The lawsuit claims the companies limited supply while demand continued to grow.
According to the complaint, this allowed memory prices to rise much faster creating a “RAMpocalypse.”

The lawsuit seeks class-action status and asks for damages on behalf of businesses and consumers who allegedly paid inflated prices for products containing DRAM memory.

Cambodian reporters accidentally exposed the Cambodian army deploying banned landmines.

Citizens in the U.S., South Korea, and Japan should ask why their governments keep funding demining in Cambodia when the evidence suggests taxpayers may have been getting scammed all along.

In most cases it's someone for whom all hope has been lost. And I totally get it. Actually, it makes me angry when smug expats refer to it as 'the Pattaya flying club' or something equally cruel and cold-hearted.
Dwindling funds, ailing health, unaffordable insurance premiums, a feeling of loneliness and isolation with all bridges burned back in the home country, and numerous other factors. That's the stark reality for many. Thailand can be the ultimate 'paradise lost'.

Questions are everything.

Because the people who never stop asking are the ones who find answers.

Thailand is about to change its FDI promotion criteria to incentivise higher local value-added. It’s the wrong move.

Let’s think through what it means for investors in two sectors: automotive and humanoid robotics.

For automotive, Thailand has a deep supply chain with many suppliers across all major tiers. Demanding that Chinese firms produce using local parts is possible.

For humanoid robotics, Thailand has practically zero local suppliers. Demanding that firms produce using local parts functions as a huge tax, as the only way this condition can be satisfied is if the entire supply chain moves from China together at once. This is almost impossible.

Therefore, demanding high local value-added effectively restricts investment in sectors where Thailand has no local supply chain. That’s exactly the opposite of what we want. It condemns the economy to produce only what it can today. For new industries, leading international suppliers have almost zero incentive to invest. The local value-added criteria functions as a tax on new investment in new sectors, effectively cancelling out BOI incentives.

If the government were truly pro-growth, it would incentivise investment in new sectors by accepting almost zero local value-added.

Imagine a sector with 5 layers of suppliers. The government would initially target layer 5 suppliers, who would most likely be assemblers using labour, electricity, water and imported parts from layers 3 and 4. Although initial local value-added is low, after enough layer 5 suppliers set up shop, there would be domestic demand for layer 4 suppliers to invest. Even if layer 4 also uses mostly imported parts from layers 2 and 3 - again, if enough layer 4 suppliers invest - it would create enough domestic demand to incentivise layer 3 suppliers to invest.

At each investment phase, local value-added is low as Thailand has practically zero suppliers at each layer. But over time, the supply chain gets localised. This is how China did it. This is how Thailand localised the automotive supply chain.

But because Thai society today has a low growth preference, it will tax investment in new industries to signal that it wants higher growth.

PixelとNOTHING Phone(3a)を足したようなデザインのNatural AI Phoneを試用させてもらってるんだけど、独自のAI機能はなかなか優秀だしおもしろい。

ちなみに…
筐体についてAIに質問したら、やっぱりベースモデルは3aらしく、ハードよりソフトに集中するために共通ODMにした。とのこと。

The soundcore Liberty 5 Pro holds an actual Guinness World Record for the clearest earbud calls, which sounds made up—so I blasted 90dB of café chatter and club noise at myself but now I’m a believer. It’s WILD how well it works.

The Pro Max builds on all of that with an AMOLED touchscreen right on the case, so you can swap ANC modes and control your audio without ever reaching for your phone—and yeah, you can throw a custom wallpaper on it too. The real trick is the built-in AI note taker: it records, then hands you a clean summary with speaker labels and a to-do list. The mic lives in the case itself, so the buds don't even need to be in your ears.
