Its crazy that a small claim made the news to be honest.

But in reality he is definitely planning on filing this in a local small claims court.

Which is arguably better, because it demonstrates to other people how they too can fight back.

I believe a bit of that we're seeing is being self-titled as "dark woke" lol. I'd count myself among them. Where, instead of trying to hold decorum and be super duper respectful, if you see or hear someone doing something immoral, you call that shit out and you do it hard. Modern day "punch a Nazi" and not accrue assault charges essentially.

Not to turn it entirely political, but I see it as the next step based on how politics have evolved. Conservatives would often do and say terrible things themselves, but then they'd tell liberals/centrists "but where's the tolerant left, where's you're decorum, how could you do these terrible things" etc etc and it would work fairly well where establishment dems would shrink back in their holes or they'd "work across the aisle" and produce half measures that barely helped the public, if at all, rather than standing on principle.

Now, I think you're seeing a lot more, especially leftists, essentially say fuck that and push back and go on the offensive to knock them down a peg. And given that most conservative talking points are all bluster, they have no real principle or ideology, it falls flat with a more aggressive stance backed up by facts and principle.

Louis gives off that to me, as many leftists are grounded in principle to do what is right for people and humanity. He's saying, look, Samsung, you're a piece of shit and I know you're a piece of shit to others, and I know that you know others won't be able to push back against you, you're taking advantage of them. So fuck you, I'll stand up for both myself and all the others you've been harming. Let's fucking go.

People are tired. And we know what is right. And we're tired of being gaslit and taken advantage of.

An example of what I'm kind of talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZzZCo_JKO4

Not true. If you can cite another similar small claims case against the company, the Judge will take that under consideration as well.

It's only not beneficial if they settle outside court and have a non disclosure agreement. And that's not going to happen with Rossmann. There is zero doubt in my mind that he would turn down a million dollar payout to keep quiet.

I’m glad he knows where to look for the company’s financials. Paints a very clear picture of what’s going on with those batteries.

Since Trump, it’s like the entire world feels validated in being more openly shitty in regard to commerce, consumers, and working class. We were on a decline already, this just feels accelerated.

Do you have a link? OOTL

Exactly that because drives were getting cheaper over time so it saved Samsung money to refund at the going market rate and at worst case it would be just a few dollars more. When they penned that they never envisaged the shitshow we have going on today when the price of storage and RAM has 4x'd or more.

Which is, of course, why they suddenly feel entitled to not follow their own rules.

i am chargeback level satisfied

I wonder if these repair companies that Samsung outsources to have internal metrics to keep payouts or replacements as low as possible.

Gaslight the customer into returning and agreeing to a "refund at original cost". Do this X number of times for contract bonuses or something.

Agreeing with you here, they probably had the last line there to save themselves money, as historically tech items lose value over time, so if you bought an ssd for $200, and 6 months later needed to be replaced or refunded, historically they can realistically offer you $150, as that would traditionally be the new market value after 6 months, but in today's timeline, now its apparently worth $900 and they probably don't want to pay that.

Samsung hurt itself in confusion
