What this shows is this idiotic rollercoaster ride should be shut down because it's dangerous and probably exceeds any approved safety requirements this ride delivered. Sure, ride at your own risk doesn't really cut it.

You can’t be serious 

Musk is playing games to get a new trial date. Twitter isn’t falling for it. Musk would drag the “I’m still securing financing” schtick as long as he possibly could. Twitter is right I’m not trusting Musk and wanting to proceed with the trial WHILE Musk does his financing song & dance.

Let’s see if the Google fans make fun of the bezels on the Pixel Watch, cuz, damn.

I used to work with Transport Canada investigating crashes and these tests are complete BS.

Take airbags as an example. The software inside an airbag computer uses multiple inputs to decide if an airbag should deploy: vehicle speed, is the seatbelt latched, direction of impact, seat position, throttle, brakes and the most important of all - data programmed into it about the vehicle itself.

We regularly had people filing defect reports with Transport Canada saying their airbags didn’t deploy when they were in a crash. Not sure why since they didn’t suffer anything beyond a very minor injury. Probably looking to blame the manufacturer and get a payout.

Another example: lots of new cars have safety features like automatic braking or lane keeping assist. One customer of a luxury company (can’t give the details) complained that it wasn’t working. They never had an accident, they just thought it should have activated during a close call while driving. They complained because the manufacturer told them there was no way to test the system. Like airbags it relies on numerous inputs and algorithms to make a decision to intervene. The company even has a policy for technicians that prohibits them from testing the system by driving as it would require highly aggressive driving to get the system to intervene. All you can do is scan the vehicle for any faults detected in a sensor/system. No faults means it’s considered functional.


Bottom line: amateurs and YouTubers aren’t in any position to test these systems or draw any conclusions from their tests other than they’re not qualified.

Before someone comes up with the stupid idea DisplayMate is biased because they haven’t tested any Samsung phones recently, ask yourself this:

Why hasn’t Samsung provided any devices to test?

i don't think anyone with decent amount of technology knowledge would argue against the fact that iPhone 14 Pro Max has the BEST display in ANY smartphone for now (until the next iPhone comes up). Samsung will definitely try to equal/better the iPhone 14 pro max display in S23 Ultra early next year but that has to wait at least for 6 months. For the first time in last decade, Samsung has ceded the display leadership to Apple while they were either equal or better in prior years (S & Note series).
