alt Hacker NewsI know what happened, no thanks to Wired. ;)
Original point being, Wired is (best case) bad at proofreading and worst case trying to lie by omission and imply that this actually happened, while "merrily driving along" no less. In reality no such failure occurred.
TL;DR however much you distrust the media, it's not enough...
I don't trust any singular source, but looking at evidence in aggregate across many sources, there are clear problems with the CT from material selection to parts engineering to overall capability vs what was sold.
