[Incident]

For the answer, click ‘Expand’ on the right.

 Not allowed There are no sources to show this is an example of large-scale customer abuse and to show it isn't just lies. It is also out of scope for the wiki and reads like a Yelp review.


Logitech Mouse automatically bricks after 1.5 years

edit

Background

edit

The Logitech G583 Gaming Mouse has received great reviews from critics.

[Incident]

edit

The Logitech G583 Gaming Mouse has an issue where after one and a half years of use, it automatically bricks and stops working.[1][2]

For the answer, click ‘Expand’ on the right.

 Allowed This is clearly showing that this is systemic and an actual issue. The only slight issue is it should have a few more references, or it will likely be tagged as incomplete.


Internet

edit

The Internet is a network of computers.

Why it is a problem

edit

The Internet can be used by products to brick devices.

For the answer, click ‘Expand’ on the right.

 Not allowed This may talk about something that can be used against consumers, like DRM where products have to connect to the internet to be used, but in this case, it is out of scope for the wiki, as not much more can be achieved compared to linking the Wikipedia page for it (assuming you need to link it somewhere at all).

Randle is a car making company.

Incidents

ToS includes forced arbitration

edit

The ToS includes forced arbitration.[3][4]

For the answer, click ‘Expand’ on the right.
 Allowed Forced arbitration is definitely in scope, and although there is only two references, it is clearly systemic.
