Samsung responds to Galaxy Note 5 S Pen controversy

Posted on by

If you haven’t heard, there is a bit of controversy surrounding the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 at the moment. Some people have been inserting the S Pen backwards, damaging the internal S Pen detection sensor when trying to remove it again. Some are claiming this is a design flaw, while others think people shouldn’t be putting the S Pen in the wrong way in the first place.

Samsung has responded to the issue, and the statement is exactly what you’d expect.

We highly recommend our Galaxy Note 5 users follow the instructions in the user guide to ensure they do not experience such an unexpected scenario caused by reinserting the S-Pen in the other way around.Samsung

Yes, they tell you you’re inserting it wrong. But unlike Apple, Samsung is absolutely right. The manual clearly states that you shouldn’t insert the S Pen the wrong way and that doing so may cause damage. Most people don’t read the manual, but that’s not Samsung’s fault. However, it can still be argued that Samsung should have designed the S Pen to only go in one way.

For those who own a Note 5, here’s your lesson: Don’t defy the manual, don’t insert the S Pen backwards. What’s your opinion on the issue? Do you think Samsung is to blame for the design, or are people just being ridiculous and expecting a company to protect them from their mistakes? Leave a comment!

‘Five Nights At Freddy’s’ Creator Says Nobody Has Figured Out The Game’s Real Story

Posted on by

Five Nights At Freddy’s 4 has been out for a few weeks now, which is usually enough time for any fanbase to piece together most deepest darkest secret: people move fast. But apparently, there are secrets that nobody has been able to find, and creator Scott Cawthon thinks this is pretty remarkable. All of his game have easter eggs, hidden story and lore, he wrote in a community post on Steam, and people have been able to piece it together in all of the previous games. It’s been part of the fun:

“You know, when I released the first game over a year ago, I was amazed at how quickly everyone found every bit of lore and story,” he writes. “Then the same happened with part 2, fans and youtubers dug in and found everything. Game Theory did an incredible video on part 2; getting almost everything right. Then part 3 came out, and once again the story was uncovered by the community. It seemed that there was nothing I could hide! “

But for some reason people haven’t been able to figure out what’s happening in the fourth game, he writes:

But then I released part 4, and somehow…. no one, not a single person, found the pieces. The story remains completely hidden. I guess most people assumed that I filled the game with random easter eggs this time. I didn’t. What’s in the box? It’s the pieces put together. But the bigger question is- would the community accept it that way? The fact that the pieces have remained elusive this time strikes me as incredible, and special, a fitting conclusion in some ways, and because of that, I’ve decided that maybe some things are best left forgotten, forever.

He gives the impression that he’s not going to tell people what he’s hinting at, which is is an interesting proposition. Will someone eventually piece it together? This blog post will certainly galvanize at least a few curious fans. Will he let them know if they’ve hit on the right answer? It might be that’s he’s simply hid things too deeply, but these things have a way of getting out.
