Glad it was meant in jest sulu.

And back to the prime issue.
Has anyone here really thought through any of the countless possible consequences of eventually buying and possessing one of these marvelous (I have no doubt concerning some of them that they are indeed great innovative devices when finally they get to the end user...) unaccountable, unwarranted, small-team-with-stupidly-lean-budgets-that-could-only-do-the-most-limited-of-testings ...devices?

potential example 1 -
-you get the device in your hands.
-whatever span of time passes, little or great.
-whether it is off charger and starts a normal fire
or
it is on charger and has the potential for an electrical fire.
-possibly causing much damage.
-possibly destroying your home and contents.
-possibly causing loss of life, those around you, family, pets, yourself.

IF you are still alive after that possible example 1 ..
do you or your surviving family have any recourse?
Or does the start up have no responsibility for the devices they make?

As much as I like the innovation and the strides made by small enterprises, the hazards are greater than with a mega corp. at this time.

(and sure ...iphone and android phones have done exactly that, caught fire, caused loss of life, etc...
and THEY have the manpower and finances to spend making sure they are testing and retesting and re-retesting ..
.and are isolated in compare to what the numbers would be if they didn't spend the manpower and money and time...
but in the end...
these mega corps have funds set up to deal with the lawsuits and loss of life and damages from their devices....
THAT is part of what one is paying for when buying a warrantied and guaranteed device, it is also the knowledge that you or your surviving family have legal recourse that will end up accounting for that loss....)

I would hope amid all the enthusiasm for new toys...
that everyone soberly does a hard squinting look at the real possible price...

And now I am done for today.
Two posts in a row that are all serious-serious...
with no injection of wit at all...
are two too many ...
(I heard somewhere it causes cancer of the follicles or eye-stalks or some such)
