Samsung caught faking it...again!

'Take a photo of the moon with a Samsung smartphone and it'll be
remarkably crisp and detailed. Turns out, though, that the company's
gadgets are faking it by slapping AI-aligned moon textures onto the shots.'

'Reddit user ibreakphotos demonstrated the shenanigan by deliberately
blurring a professional photo of the moon then taking a photo of the
blurry smear with a Samsung handset, thereby proving that it adds the
detail algorithmically.'

The details are all laid out here:

'The moon pictures from Samsung are fake. Samsung's marketing is
deceptive. It is adding detail where there is none (in this experiment,
it was intentionally removed).'

I've had 2 Samsung 27 inch LED monitors that were bought at the same time, had a manufacture date
within a week of each other. Both died, a week apart.
I had 2 Samsung spinner drives. Same thing happened.

Never again.

Reminds me of the Sony-tragedy almost 20 years ago.
