They had two already.

I sincerely hope he was a good man, and my heart goes out to his survivors, especially his daughter since he died at her wedding.
I know nothing about him, and probably won’t bother learning more.
Anyway, what does this have to do with technology? Does the other CEO have a very different plan for the company or something that this CEO was blocking? If not, this doesn’t seem all that important.

Samsung is one of the largest tech companies in the world. I don’t think that’s debatable.

A spoon is technology, do you see posts about spoons here?

I mean they almost certainly will…

Why? They had two co-CEOs, and now one of them died. Is it really a given they’d change direction suddenly after the other passed? Surely they’re already a known quantity in the org…

The best thing that can happen to a CEO.

I don’t have an opinion on the man personally, but I won’t buy a Samsung TV as they are ad riddled, terrible to use and are pretty fragile.

Phones are the same. Haven’t touched them since the S6.

The phones are absolutely not the same, you just have a shitty carrier that installed extra stuff on your phone

My 16 year old Samsung TV would like to argue otherwise! It’s a beast and 1080p is plenty good for me! But my Samsung kitchen? Holy crap it’s all so terrible…

You bought before all the SmartTV nonsense then. So did I, and my Samsung TV is still doing well. I bought it >10 years ago to watch the Olympics or something with my in-laws, and now it’s still trucking along just fine in my bedroom (eventually got a bigger LG for the main room). No issues whatsoever.

And their oversaturated, over sharpened pictures just look nasty to me.

They have commercial tvs for kiosks, hotels, etc though a bit more expensive don’t have any of that junk.
