Their corporate/technical solution towards my exploding washing machine was to just cover up the Heavy Duty and Bedding cycle selectors with a sticker.
Their corporate/technical solution towards their exploding phones was to remotely brick them if they weren't returned by a certain point.
My enthusiasm for their entrance to this market is very low.
