      It’s small claims court, so anyone else getting fucked by this wont benefit. It’s going to take a bigger case. This will be forgotton about in a coupke months and Samsung will keep doing it.

        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 also don’t expect him to settle. Louis has principles and a DGAF - get it done attitude and an extreme allergy to bullshit. Truly a hero for the people. All he asks is that we participate and speak out on these issues. My next guys poker night (or equivalent) might include a group email writing session. I know several people who I would not have expected to get involved who have written their reps regarding right to repair and other consumer advocacy and freedom issues.

        Yep. Samsung knows what’s up. Settle a couple small claims here and there and fuck everyone else.

        But if he has success, well, I can go to the lawyer and show him that success (because I’m in the same boat right now), maybe it just needs more cases…

      Doubt that’ll change in a good way for us. I believe that they just going to change refund policy to the price that was at the time of buying.

        I don’t think they will, because at some point we’ll return to the point where SSD’s just get cheaper over time and then Samsung has no interest in refunding you the full amount. This warranty is policy is this way exactly because drives used to lose value pretty quickly.
