18 DEADLY Tech Fails that need to be BANNED.

Welcome to my top 18

tech

fails

, each one so disastrous they had to be

banned

, so number 18 is an app called send me to heaven. It doesn't actually kill you like the name suggests, but it does kill your phone, it tells you. Throw your device as high in the air as you can and then catch it on the way down, the higher the throw the more points you get but the higher the chance of getting a concussion when you come back. I just accepted like 16 different disclaimers, okay, three, two, one, go see what I have. 5.35 meters, you take the microphone.

I guess, as expected, it didn't take long for Apple to permanently ban the app for all iPhones. Two out of ten fail, well, number 17, probably not. It goes without saying that Tesla makes some of the highest-rated electric cars in the world right now, incredibly

tech

nology-focused and almost minimalist. Often everything is controlled by a single large screen in the middle, but this also has its disadvantages, as people have done recently. discovered that when you quickly charge your tesla at a charging station, the car's electronics can get so hot that this screen stops working properly and has been seen to sometimes stop responding, even just going blank, which since a tesla's screen contains like 90 of Your car's controls are a pretty serious bug, and as such, Tesla has had to recall 130,000 of them to try to fix it. 3 out of 10 fail, a horrendous mishap, but they were saved in part by the fact that no one seems to have had an accident because Still, who likes to have a good time?

Do you also like danger and head injuries from enchantments? No, Hasbro is doing well because in 2004, after years of development, the famous toy company released this super absorbent monster rocket and it was a technical marvel. yeah, I had to fly this whole thing myself, it's a seven foot rocket enclosed in this base, here it has a tank full of water and basically what you do is pump air through it to charge that high pressure water. the rocket oh milo you're coming to see oh nevermind now that it's at its maximum you should be able to press this trigger to release that lock and the water will be ejected at a dizzying rate to launch this rocket into the sky now you I probably already understood it, but the monster rocket was not a safe toy.

The water tank on the rocket was prone to exploding. The cap on the top of the bottle had a tendency to fly off and hit people in the face and because of the rockets themselves. they flew so high that they also managed to knock people out on the way down, yeah Hasbro was literally giving kids concussions so no, they didn't last long on store shelves, I have no idea how they're going to be this. three two one oh no I guess That makes it even more of a fail, so can we just liven it up in the edit while I leave some negative feedback on eBay?

I feel even worse, although owners of Polaris Razer cars see that Polaris is one of the best brands for these high-end cars. They speed off-road vehicles, so it's a little unfortunate that they've managed to have not one, but two separate waves of recalls for these Razer cars in the space of a few months; It was bad enough that one of the battery cables was routed incorrectly. leading to electrical failure, but also, and this is quite problematic for a car, the steering wheels would come off. Can you imagine you are going 100 miles per hour into a rocky cliff until you suddenly realize, oh, that would be my steering wheel, this has certainly given many users a near-death experience, and five drivers especially unlucky ones, has caused them to completely lose control and, in fact, have their vehicles flip over while they were still inside.

I almost can't believe it. I'm saying this, but number 14 is a video game and when I first found it I thought, come on, you can't ban a video game for violence, but then I saw it, we're talking about Manhunt 2 released in 2007 and it's really chilling to play as a fugitive mental patient and the game encourages you to stalk the victims and when you find them and when an opportunity presents itself, you murder them in the most sadistic way possible, but the strangest part of all is the callous tone with which the game presents this it's almost like it was a normal thing to do almost immediately after release, it was

banned

in Britain and Ireland, suspended in the United States and almost all of the more violent parts censored around the world, which as you can imagine , it didn't do wonders for sales volumes, four out of ten fail, okay, we're all in for a good bargain, so when Indian car company Tata Motors announced the Tata Nano, a four-seater hatchback car available for buy for the equivalent of only 1,400 if people understandably lost their minds, it had no air conditioning and was a bit tight at full capacity, but for someone whose budget would only allow them to buy a scooter or a motorcycle, it seemed like a fair price.

But pay now, the lesson we learned is that there are only so many corners you can take in a car before it starts to become a hazard. The nano also compromised the quality of its circuits, airbags, metals, batteries, every single part of this car was basically. the cheapest Tata Motors could get, causing at least 10 cases of these nanos to spontaneously explode into flames. Now, what's another thing that really doesn't go well with fire hazards? Oh yes, babies, as the company Lorex, which specializes in baby monitors, discovered. In 2016, the company launched its flagship product, the ironically named Care and Share range, and it was popular because it was the most technologically advanced, but allowed parents to not only see their children from afar, but also take photos of them and track them on the move. if it moved, it even had night vision, unfortunately, all this technology crammed into such a small space generated not 5 not 10, but 488 reports of overheating, including situations where the battery packs were actually expanding, causing potentially physically tripping the outer casing of the monitor. explosive electronic devices in the same room you keep your toddler five out of ten great plan and if this sounds interesting to you then a sub to the channel would be naughty ah the cozy, cuddly, warm and highly flammable electric blanket, all you

need

to do is ask invospar customers who in 2020 bought a shiny new silky velvet electric blanket that, like most electric blankets, has a thin layer of electrical wiring inside that is used to raise its temperature, but the reverse bus wiring lost control of that temperature, how was it?

Clients discover him using it after waking up in the middle of the night with burns all over his body. Can you imagine that you would be having the worst nightmare of your life and then you would wake up and realize that the pain was actually real? product safety commission had to get involved by issuing a mandatory recall of 7,000 of these blankets and if we look at the bill bar websites now there is no sign of any of them so I can only assume they were told I'll never sell a blanket again anyway, if you think the last one scared you then welcome to the top 10.

These will probably keep you up at night so this right here is a pacemaker, it's a little device that you can implant inside. It is connected directly to your heart and sends electrical signals to it to make sure it beats at a stable rate. Now, with that in mind, this is pretty much the only piece of technology that you don't want to go wrong, but you know. In which video we feature healthcare company Abbott, who built their pacemakers to be radio controlled, but then didn't add any safety measures, meaning anyone else could buy a remote control on eBay and use it to not kidding? hacking the patient's heartbeat to drain the pacemaker's battery or even doing it so fast that it could kill them instantly.

Fortunately, Abbott acted quickly before anyone died, asking the 465,000 people who had one to return to his office and urgently updating their pacemaker software, but six out of ten fail. You really have to trust a company before connecting them directly to your heart, but it actually gets even creepier with clearview ai, the company that described itself as the world's largest face network and unfortunately. is exactly what it sounds like: this company owns and collects billions of photographs of people's faces, gathering them from literally any source it can find, including their social media pages, without asking you, they promote themselves as if they exist solely to enforce the law, as if the police wanted to.

To find out who a potential criminal is, they can clearly see just one image of them and then this company can link it to every shot in their database and, in most cases, come back with all the details of that person, regardless of how it has been recently. accused of going too far by selling this data only to private companies and individuals for nothing more than market research purposes. Imagine a world where a complete stranger could just take a random photo of you as you walk down the street and then through that, find out everything from your home address to your grandmother's phone number, just in case. technology of that power exists, fortunately, governments have stepped in to make it completely illegal in Canada and Australia and most other countries, restricting its use to a purely governmental right.

Fitbit, the Google-owned fitness company that helps you burn calories by using its smart trackers. Calories aren't the only thing burning right now in the ever-moving race to squeeze as much technology as possible into a small space. For its Fitbit Ionic smartwatch, the company didn't give its batteries enough power, so they started to overheat, but I'm not talking about the point of saying, oh, this is getting a little hot, they were getting hot enough to burn. people's skin. wrists, which is a little scary because it's not like at that point you can throw it away quickly if you suddenly get burned.

He's tied up. At least 78 burns were reported, which was enough to prompt this company to recall all 1.7 million of these ionics which already puts it in a six out of ten failure category, but it could actually be about to get worse because now A lawsuit has been filed that says the burn-in issue actually affects all Fitbit devices and that the company has only been trying to sweep away the problem. the rock, okay, time to expand on things, from skin burns to explosives, of course, I'm talking about this guy now, you're probably pretty familiar with the history of the Note 7.

Samsung already launched the phone. People loved it, but then it started blowing up, thank you. to Samsung trying to cram the battery into a space that really wasn't big enough for it, people got second degree burns thanks to this phone and perhaps the even more surprising part of this is that we managed to get one after these. They started exploding and were banned on trains, airplanes in almost all public places, almost all of them were urgently recalled, but there are some left, oh my God, look at that, a real Galaxy Note 7. So let's see, man, it's so crazy that this is used. to be like the cutting edge, it looks so dated next to the current s22 ultra, but yeah, I mean, this is the actual original home screen of the galaxy note 7.

The last thing a lot of people saw before the disaster, the note 7 never killed to nobody. but other than that, it was the worst it could have been, we are not talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars lost, not even millions. Latest estimates suggest that Samsung lost $17 billion as people opted for other brands because of this $17 billion. dollars, I mean, that's enough money to buy the white house 43 times, of which 7 out of 10 fail, so now I'm going to turn this off and probably never touch it again. Number six now is where these products become fatal, starting with the company Pelletizing who developed a name for their smart treadmills, allowing people to join live classes from the comfort of their homes.

Well, it seems like this company spent too much time focusing on technology and not enough on security. Significant space under the track combined with incredibly grippy material created the perfect opportunity for both children and pets to be dragged underneath. This gives me chills just looking at it. There were no less than 72 reports of this happening. Fortunately, this child was fine, butmany. Of them suffered abrasions, broken bones and lacerations, one child even died, so obviously this product was recalled and never sold again. I can't give it less than 7 out of 10, but the next one may surprise you: it is the selfie stick case in In 2014, the combination of more and more people wanting to share their personal stories with others, combined with the improvement of image quality of smartphones, meant that selfie sticks exploded in popularity.

You couldn't go to a tourist destination and not find 20 people walking around. with what amounts to a three-foot metal spear in front of them and there are two problems with this one: they are a genuine danger to the people around you with countless reports of accidental punctures, cuts and even cuts, but two are even bigger . threat to the user who in many cases simply forgets completely what is around them, resulting in at least 150 reported deaths through a gruesome combination of falls from cliffs, drowning and even electrocution, which is five times the number of deaths reported from shark attacks in the same time period.

This bad boy is at least an eight out of ten and although selfie sticks aren't banned everywhere now, you'll regularly find restricted areas where you can't take them out now, if you were alive in America during the 1980s then Remember, Lord Arts, and if you do, there is a non-negligible chance that lawn darts will knock you out, not technically a technological product, but a disaster the idea was simple darts are fun time outdoors is fun let's mix the two and let's see how many eyes we can get you would stand in a circle and then try to throw the darts to another circle 35 feet away from you, whatever the combination of having to throw them so hard to get there with the variability that comes from the wind and the big sharp metal spikes on the ends made this one of the most horrible product launches of all time, like if you think about the 72 injuries in that platoon.

They were bad darts that managed to quickly bring 6,100 people directly to hospital emergency rooms, most of them under 15 years old. Just as if it couldn't get any worse, number three is a drug that can kill people. I wish I was joking, so you know Pfizer, that big pharmaceutical company that has become one of the major suppliers of Covet vaccines. Yeah, they haven't had the best history. One of its biggest previous products was an anti-inflammatory pain relief drug called Bextra and Fisa. high hopes for dextra as far as they were concerned, it was a technological marvel, a revolutionary class of painkillers safer than normal medications and of course 20 times more expensive, and while that is already a hard pill to swallow, the The real crime that this company committed was behind it.

Unbeknownst to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the FDA had only approved Vextra for use for a very specific purpose, but Pfizer, feeling it had an overall winner on its hands, began marketing it as well. as a more general treatment for pain worldwide. body plus, in an effort to change as many of these things as possible, started selling them at double the initially agreed upon dosage, resulting in 87 cases of severe skin reactions and, I mean, very, very serious, sometimes fatal, combined with an elevated risk of heart attacks. all patients and therefore deservedly removed the waist from the shelves.

Pfizer had to pay a $2.3 billion fine and the subsidiary that supplied the drug received criminal charges for false marketing and deception, so yes, this seems like a good time to give a 9 out of 10 fail and, while we're at it On the topic of medicine, we can't list the band's technology and not even mention thoroughness. Simply put, there was a lady named Elizabeth Holmes who created a device that could perform hundreds of different types of blood tests, but using only a small sample of blood with a small prick, the concept was a complete game changer because by itself it would just invalidate the entire fafsa by having to take many different samples and then send them to many different labs to undergo many different tests this unit would do everything except that it was a lie, the machine was proven not to work and holmes actually knew it didn't work , but had gone to such lengths to fool investors into thinking it did work, but it's not just that thoroughness wasn't helpful, false blood readings are life-threatening, they're the difference between getting the treatments you

need

to live and not, and I guess what makes this one of the biggest technological failures of all time is the sheer fall.

What did this girl have when the public found out that one moment she was Silicon Valley's billionaire model and the next she had a net worth of zero, the potential to be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison and was even being made into a Hulu show . About the failure of it, I really want to give Theranos a 10 out of 10, but the next one is such a catastrophe that I will give it one night, okay? You may have heard of the Boeing 737, which is the most successful commercial airliner . Today, so many different airlines use this machine, which is why it was a big deal when the Boeing company announced its successor, the Boeing 737 Max.

He could travel faster and more efficiently. It had lower running costs and a much nicer interior, except it didn't. It has not been tested thoroughly enough before being made public. A combination of some sensors not working as planned and some new software that was not properly explained to the pilots caused not one but two accidents in quick succession and let's be very clear when a plane goes down it is a tragedy no one survives so this product caused the death of 346 people before it was suspended by most countries the 737 max recently started recirculating again now but apparently Boeing has lost tens of billions because of this it is a true 10 out of 10 fail in all the aspects.

I've spent 20 minutes telling you about technologies you should never use, so I want to end with just one, but you should definitely use the Opera desktop browser. It's like your current browser, but with five. things that take it to the next level when you watch videos like this, you can tap a button to turn them into floating videos to watch in the background while you do other things, your social media accounts can be linked to your browser so without leaving what you're doing By doing so, you can reply to your Instagram or Facebook direct messages. It has a built-in ad blocker that prevents all those really annoying and often inappropriate ads from appearing, which as a byproduct also speeds up the browser you can import. all your bookmarks and settings from your current browser to Opera and it literally takes like five seconds and then number one is the bulletin board, which is like the one place to collect all your web content, so if I'm planning a big purchase for For example, I can use this to keep track of all the different products I'm looking at.

There are actually a lot more interesting things about this, especially for buyers, but I won't spoil it, I'll let you experience it for yourself. link in description to get it for free to watch my full playlist of glitch videos which is here or to check out one of the coolest flagship smartphones I've ever tested that video is here my name is aaron this is Mr. Who It's the boss I'll see you next time
