   SanDisk Extreme SSDs are still wiping data after firmware “fix,” users say

   SanDisk's ignoring lost data claims. It's time to ignore the company's SSDs.

     But they don't spontaneously catch fire, so corp can keep looking for that last buck.

     @arstechnica thats not the way to do it. The way to do it is twofold: canceling them publicly (posting a warning in every newspaper bot to buy sandisk anymore) and then pulling the rug with a class action lawsuit.

     The issue with big companies (or companies in general for this case) is they’re allowed to make unrealistic claims (google how food pictures for menus are made) and then use their influence/money to get out of every problem. I say we do the same. Crucify them to rebalance the system.
