Well for starters a lot of HN users actually use the products Apple launches.

And a lot of those product launches have Samsung displays in them .

Samsung is one of the largest (the largest?) display manufacturers in the world that makes, among other things, displays for Apple.

Every television in my house is a Samsung and all of my Android phones are too.

I have no hesitation in saying that you will never own, nor be in the market for this product.

Even in cases where that might be true - would you still allow me the enjoyment of reading about it?

Gee golly, I mean I don't live anywhere near The Boring Company tunnel projects but I still like reading about those...

What's your problem?

I'm on a Samsung device right now you dullard.

Is the difference that Apple product launches are (not exclusively) intended for consumers whereas the Wall is aimed almost exclusively at large business's lobbies?

... and for luxury living. Luxury car launches are covered on the hn frontpage as well, e.g. that weird car whose windows Elon broke... probably increasing its value in the process.

The website shows two uses "for business" and "for luxury living". So it is intended for home!

Two wrongs don't make a right.

What's "wrong" about this? No one has provided any evidence of manipulation other than speculation. Maybe people are interested in Samsung's display technology?

I don't know how to provide evidence of manipulation as an outside observer. I was pointing out that it does seem strange. But maybe this is the course of HN nowadays.

Agreed, sorry -- I was commenting on the logic of the argument rather than the apparent facts of the situation.

This site has a bay area bias.
