Your Galaxy phone will lose wireless charging if Samsung doesn’t pay a fine for stealing it

This is far from the only issue plaguing Samsung at the moment. The company is currently about to lay off around 30 percent of its global workforce while also withdrawing personnel from its plant in Texas. This decision was made after Samsung continued to have difficulty making Exynos a viable alternative to Snapdragon.

Mojo Mobility, understandably, is quite pleased with the ruling. I’m finding it difficult to believe that Samsung got away with such a major theft of intellectual property for this long. Then again, the company has just got done paying a $142 million fine after this same court ruled that it had infringed patents for 5G technology.

Samsung wants to make 1.4 nm chips and start using them by 2027. I hope it doesn’t infringe on yet another set of patents that it will then only get a slap on the wrist for almost a decade later. Similar to how AT&T just paid a minor fine to “resolve” a long-running investigation into a 2023 data breach.

Samsung may make some of the best phones on the market today but that hardly gives it the right to straight up steal technology from smaller companies. But who am I kidding, this’ll keep happening and companies will keep paying meager fees to be let go.

It’s just the “cost of doing business”.
