  • If it’s your os drive that dies, nothing important has been lost except for a few minutes of work. You can boot from a variety of media (cd, usb…) for recovery, or drive replacement. Worst case, you’ll have to reinstall a few things in the following days.

    It’s also why it’s not a bad idea to separate the various aspects of the system on distinct drives.









  • From reading online, it seems to be a feature of some segments of the US market.

    I’m currently using my first Samsung device in a while (handed down by someone who didn’t like it) and it’s just like any other phone.

    I’m not in the US though.

    What I could hold against them is how some of their devices have extra features enabled within the brand’s ecosystem. I understand it’s a basic way to keep users with the brand without being too harsh (everything still works with another appliance after all), but it’s still a bit crummy.
