Louis taking the financial hit for all of us. One of the few people that are "famous" I would buy a coffee if I were to see him on the street.
He seems mean spirited and just a bit unstable to me, but I think that’s just an encode/decode mismatch in communication styles. What’s important is he can speak the truth to power AND BE HEARD. And for that I will absolutly cheer that crazy bastard on.
proceeds to use the next few paragraphs to turn it political
I don't think Rossman is a leftist. He's pro-consumer and sticks up for the little guy against big corporations, but he's not anti-capitalist.
Unfortunately, I think you're projecting a bit. He's had interviews stating that he has issues with "both" sides, so from what I can find he seems centrist in his views. Also, he's now a part of FUTO which has hosted him as a speaker alongside others with alt-right tech personalities.
From my perspective, I think he fits the burned out IT professional archetype that is tired of all the BS today, but as far as activism I think he's pretty much only focused on right to repair. Anything beyond that seems to not be in his scope of interest. But to be honest, I would be happy to be proven wrong.
I totally agree with you.
I wish more in the tech industry were able to see how these issues are all related to the leftist struggle.
I feel his message is a bit muddied by the overly aggressive tone, particularly to try and reach 'normies'
But he gets results so all the best to him
I hope Samsung gets fucked
Yet less aggressive message than his usual message :D
I wouldn’t say it’s a "financial hit". He has specifically worded his YT video to make it seem as if he will hire a lawyer and take Samsung et al to court. But in reality he is definitely planning on filing this in a local small claims court.
Still want to see him win because honestly he deserves it and fuck Samsung. But he does tend to be a bit over dramatic in his videos for the clicks/viewership 😂
Which is arguably better, because it demonstrates to other people how they too can fight back.
And since the value is low, small claims Courts are specifically made for that.
Often these cases are taken on contingency. The lawyers are always the true winners of these lawsuits
I highly doubt there will be lawyers involved on the plaintiff side. This is definitely going to a local small claims court.
If Samsung or this "Total Tech Solutions" company does send a lawyer (very rare), he will get the desired outcome. Probably check for the cost of new SSD + court fees.
See, that's cool for a bit but there's a reason I aimed for the level of fame called Wait Who Do You Say You Are? Who? What The Hells Is That Famous For? It's nice being able to disappear into a crowd.
