minus-squareAlphane MoonOPMlink9•20 hours agoAgreed, the title isn’t particularly clear, but you can interpret it as “a scandal involving Seagate products” as opposed to “a scandal with Seagate”.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink21•20 hours agoSince they use “Seagate’s” rather than “Seagate”, it indicated that it is Seagate who owns this scandal, using “Seagate” would change the meaning of the name to be a descriptive word, which wouldn’t claim to own the scandal.
