A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Samsung did the same damn thing to me before the AI craze. Apparently the S/N of one of the 2 970's I bought from Amazon indicated a non-USA region. Entirely indistinguishable to consumers. Warranty denied.
Never bought another Samsung NVMe since 2019.
Yeah, you can't trust Amazon to not mix stock from various sources. Though with any product with verifiable serial numbers, I always verify them as soon as I receive them. Too much counterfeiting which is why they're verifiable in the first place.
that would be the fault of amazon's genius idea of mixing inventory from multiple sellers and suppliers together.
