Their SSDs have been pretty reliable for me at least. Knock on wood

I don't buy anything else from them though.

Fuck! I forgot that I have a few of those... I guess I can expect to replace them or put out a fire in the near future

Seeing as RAM does not contain lithium batteries, I think you'll be good lol.

Hey if anyone can make it catch fire, they can. How the fuck did they manage to catch washers on fire??

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

660,000 washers were recalled because 51 had issues. That's 0.007%...I think you'll be alright.

Acceptable rate of washers catching fire: 0.0000000%

Any electrical device can catch fire.

  • 2009 - Crosley®, Frigidaire®, Kelvinator®, Kenmore®, Wascomat®, and White-Westinghouse® clothes washers were recalled due to an internal defect in the washer's drain pump can cause heat to build up, causing a fire
  • 2016 - GE models WPGT9350, WPGT9360 and WPGT9150 recalled after receiving 71 reports of internal washer components burning or catching fire.
  • 2014 & 2020 - Whirlpool recalled a series washing machine models in a safety recall due to fires
  • 2023 - Frigidaire recalled 13,600 due to fire hazard

 

I'm not trying to defend these companies by any means, and you are correct, the acceptable rate of washer fires is 0, but literally any electronic device can cause fires without exception. Don't let statistical anomalies cloud your perception.
