I will only say this once. Keep ALL politics out of this thread or it will be closed and sanctions meted out as necessary. You only get this one warning.

 

[-Fran-]

Sorry to say, but this reads more like a war-type reporting than tech-reporting. What product lines could have been affected by this? Any projects put on hold or something? Anything tech-related more than just saying "a Samsung building got hit with a missile"?

As for the news itself, well, this reads like the story of the bullies throughout history. I'll just leave it at that.

Regards.

that would be question as well.

was it still running given the randomness of rocket attacks all over?? if so what/who was still working and was it effected?

seems like they love to use this type of stuff as an excuse to raise prices even though it does not sound like there was any production at an R&D facility.

Will they still resume their shipments to Russia after this? https://www.sammobile.com/news/samsung-may-resume-smartphone-shipments-to-russia-next-month/

that's how to hit em where it hurts..

if they are as attached to their phones as the rest of the world, that might bring them to revolt . lol

Please this thread should be shut down. The subject matter of the article is rife with potential political conflicts. I love Tomshardware. If your going to post war related articles I think comments should be disabled or this type of reporting should be avoided. Just my two non-political cents.

You don't think that a rocket strike on the one of Samsung's 16 overseas R&D centers is a tech-related news item? The problem here is not with the coverage but with the indiscriminate censorship of its discussion.

I do think its tech news. That is not the issue nor is this the place to discuss a political tech issue which is why I stand by my comment. Go to Wccftech or reddit if you want to have this discussion. There is a time and a place for everything. I question the place is all.

News about it is one thing.
Very tech related.

But left unchecked, the comments will quickly turn into "A is BAD"..."No, B is worse".
ad infinitum

There are thousands of places around the interwebs to discuss the political back and forth.
This is not one of them.

Sorry if I misunderstood, but you also proposed that "this type of reporting should be avoided," which made it look like you'd simply like this damaging for Russia story to get buried and forgotten as soon as possible.

As for it being the place, if it were up to me, I'd welcome a discussion on the subject anywhere, as long as it's civil, well-argued, and moderated for propaganda and untruths. If we must discuss things, we may as well discuss things that matter.

Then please delete the original article, it is not tech related news about a product. It is news and politics about war. We are on the cusp of Armageddon and we can't even mention it.

How is a strike on Samsung's R&D UA Center not tech related?

Are we even reading the same article?

You may not care but it certainly is tech-related and news/report-worthy on a tech forum

You don't just ignore the downing of one of the world biggest chip & tech companies' R&D centers. Not now and certainly not a few years from now when people ask qiestions around the area.

Could the article have been written less political and shorter: Yes, the first lines about the UN & explanation regarding crimea & revenge is not really necessary but nice to know for context.

It is still important tech-related.

And this is why I think the comments being open on an article of this nature is a bad idea. Things get mis-read or misinterepted and things spiral. So yeah...

Thats the thing...it does NOT...will not...remain 'civil and well argued'.
It will quickly descend into name calling, etc.

This is why many news sites and outlets have simply shut down their comments section.

"and moderated for propaganda and untruths"
Who is to determine the veracity of an "untruth"? Me?
