I specifically waited for today to post this. But it really is a product.
Watch the video, then consider: If you pull the pin on a fire extinguisher and you aim badly, you adjust your aim to point the stream at the fire. But if you throw this vase badly, you’ve got nothing but continued fire.
And don’t get me started on cats knocking things off tables.
I was going to say Samsung is a giant conglomerate and their various divisions are not the same at all. But in this case, it’s very similar to their phones. Pretty, but only a facile take gets them to add features. So, unless this is the fire extinguisher choice of MLB pitchers, it’s not going to be very useful.
Cats are assholes. They would start a fire just to watch you throw the vase.
[Insert easy joke about Samsung phones catching on fire prompting this development here.]
Wow, the samsung hatred is strong here, and out goes analytic thought.
Yeah this product is not perfect in all use cases, but so is a normal fire extinguisher. It’s ugly and so is always hidden somewhere making it out of reach and useless. I think what is shown here is an interesting take on trying to solve this issue.
And it’s not like it fails if you have cats, ANY vase fails if you have cats.
This product is a foolish novelty. Likening it to a genuine fire extinguisher to defend it as “not perfect” is disingenuous.
Samsung’s track record for claiming innovation after copying other manufacturers’ ideas (and reaping profits while drawing out lawsuits) predates the iPhone by decades. Their marketing budget (which dwarfs that of every competitor combined) includes hiring comment kiddies to trash-talk Apple at every opportunity. Samsung has earned a bit of hatred.
Disagree? Would Apple have been allowed to bounce back as easily as Samsung did after the combustible phone issue?
