Those who take their Samsung Galaxy device to a repair store may get it back in pieces, since Samsung forces service providers under certain conditions to disassemble devices instead of repairing them, and to send the customer's personal data to the company. iFixit is therefore ending its cooperation with Samsung.
Samsung is a chaebol. It brings in about 20% of South Koreas total income. It has university programs that train kids from high school to uni to go work for them. They are so big that they essentially control SK and its government. I guess when you have that much power, delusion creeps in pretty quick.
