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.

    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 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

    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 😂

    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.
