"exploding" washing machines, "exploding" smartphone batteries - are we seeing a pattern here? :tinfoilhat:
Samsung in 'exploding washing machines' probe - BBC News
Samsung has confirmed it is in talks with US consumer watchdogs after a lawsuit against the firm over "exploding" washing machines.
The problems follow Samsung's global recall of its Note 7 smartphone over "exploding" batteries.

Samsung have not worked out yet that the appliance just needs to stop working 1 day after the guarentee expires. Not explode! Look at the American automobile industry for tips ...
 
First it was Samsung phones. Now it’s exploding Samsung washing machines.
One Georgia mom was pulling clothes from the dryer, with her 4-year-old son nearby, when she heard the boom and saw the damage. Another woman thought something had crashed through her roof. In one instance, metal shards flung into a hallway and ripped holes in the wall. Laundry rooms have flooded. A whole house shook.

The cause of this carnage, according to a federal class action lawsuit filed last month, is another exploding product made by Samsung.

Not smartphones, but washing machines.

It’s not the sort of explosion, as with the lithium ion batteries in phones, caused by chemical reactions. Some washing machines, the suit alleges, vibrate violently under heavy loads, causing the tub to “become unfastened, resulting in a dramatic centrifugal explosion that destroys the machine and nearby property.”

I have a washing machine at home (a Whirlpool), but if I have to wash pillows or blankets or bedspreads, I take them to a commercial (coin) laundry.
 
It's time to accept that we will die at the hands of our smartphones
It’s time to accept that when death does come for us, it will be at the hand of our smartphone.
Yahya Ayyash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In October 1995, Shin Bet operatives approached Kamil Hamad. After the Shin Bet threatened to inform Hamas of his betrayal, Kamil Hamad agreed to cooperate. Shin Bet agents gave Hamad a cell phone, and told him it was bugged so they could listen in on Ayyash's conversations. They did not tell Hamad that, in addition to eavesdropping devices, it also contained 15 grams of RDX explosive.

Kamil Hamad gave the phone to his nephew Osama, knowing that Ayyash regularly used Osama's phones. At 8:00 am on 5 January 1996, Ayyash's father called him. Ayyash picked it up and talked with his father. Overhead, an Israeli plane picked up their conversation and relayed it to an Israeli command post. When it was confirmed that it was Ayyash on the phone, Shin Bet remotely detonated it, killing Ayyash instantly.
 
[News Focus] Korean telecom industry braces for impact of Galaxy Note 7 sales suspension
South Korea’s telecom industry is geared to sustain sizeable losses from the official sales suspension of Samsung Electronics’ problem-ridden Galaxy Note 7 smartphone just two months after its launch.

Earlier Tuesday, Samsung Electronics said it will ask “all carrier and retail partners globally to stop sales and exchanges of the Galaxy Note 7 while the investigation is taking place” to prioritize consumer safety.

The suspension announcement came one day after Samsung halted the production of the Note 7, following multiple incidents in which the exchanged Note 7 devices fitted with new batteries caught fire due to overheating — prompting investigations in the US, Korea and elsewhere
 
I've had my Samsung TV for going on two years. It hasn't exploded once.

(Samsung drones?)
Kurdish forces fighting the Islamic State in northern Iraq last week shot down a small drone the size of a model airplane. They believed it was like the dozens of drones the terrorist organization had been flying for reconnaissance in the area, and they transported it back to their outpost to examine it.

But as they were taking it apart, it blew up, killing two Kurdish fighters in what is believed to be one of the first times the Islamic State has successfully used a drone with explosives to kill troops on the battlefield.

In the last month, the Islamic State has tried to use small drones to launch attacks at least two other times, prompting American commanders in Iraq to issue a warning to forces fighting the group to treat any type of small flying aircraft as a potential explosive device
