      This is obviously more about dust Louis is kicking up than the claim itself.

      But samsung has so much money that it is splashing up against the baseboards in their offices. There really is no reason for them to nickel and dime their customers like this, especially not where they are just straight up morally obliged to replace the product.

      I sincerely hope this affects them more than it would’ve just honoring these warranty claims like they should in the first place.

      It’s probably because it’s Louis Rossmann against Samsung (both giants in their respective fields)…

        It’s definitely because of Louis. He’s been doing a lot of work in the right to repair field, as well as this whole fuckin fiasco that Bambu (the 3d printer company) got themselves into by violating the LGPL license with some software. Streisand’ed themselves good on that one.

      Even a small court can have a notable impact when it’s between not able figures.

      This is less about the case and more about the message. Hench why it makes the news.
