I reported to Amazon and wrote a review but they took my review down for calling it fraud.
If you're one of today's 10,000 learning this for the first time, congratulations.
For everyone else, this is a reminder that you probably shouldn't use Amazon for anything that goes in or on your body, that has properties that change over time and use (this case), that has value high enough to be worth counterfeiting, or that you want to be usable within the first round or two with customer support.
Numbers should be right-aligned and use a font where the digits are monospaced.
Afaik NHTSA tracks safety-related defects and recalls but they don't publish "failure rates". It would be nice if they did.
Regarding tables: using monospace typefaces and padding floats with zeros to better align numbers make them easier to visually compare at a glance. Compare the difference the alignment of the AFR column of the two first big tables makes.

I'm in need of petabyte-class storage for basic web usability and sovereignty. Have you ever tried recording everything your browser views? It'll fill up a terabyte very quickly. Now, what if you want to go back and see something you browsed before? Your browser history is incomplete due to the way HTML5 works. Mobile browsers routinely delete your history. Twitter loves to refresh and make it i possible to find a tweet you've seen, etc. You want to see that page you saw last week talking about gizmo breakthrough X? Good luck, Google is no help.
Saving everything automatically that you browse, this is extremely powerful. I feel the outrage against Microsoft recall is largely artificial because of how useful this is for users. They don't want us to have access to powerful desktop tools. This makes synthesizing narratives much more difficult and perfect memory is very bad for this.
Don't ask questions, just consume product and then get excited for next product.
It solves a problem for a small subset of users while creating a problem for all other users. The outrage you see is simply some of the other users objecting. It's artificial only if you think your needs and wants are the only "real" ones.
