How did you come to the conclusion that section D does not apply?

I didn’t. I came to the conclusion that the criteria in Section D have already been cleared, because Section D discusses the cases in which the warranty will not apply; both parties clearly agree the warranty applies because Samsung offered Louis compensation. I don’t understand what warranty you were reading or why this is so difficult for you.

Specifically what part of Section D concerns you?

I can’t imagine how he’s going to get them to pay him more than what he paid.

I have no idea why you’re citing “Section D”. Section D is about the limitations of the warranty/liability, and that clearly doesn’t apply (they offered Louis compensation for the warranty; both parties agree this is within the bounds of the warranty). Sections B, C, and D have been met because both parties agree they have been.

The warranty (Section A) reads:

Samsung will, at its option, either: (1) repair or replace the Product with new or refurbished Product of equal or greater capacity and functionality; or (2) refund the then current market value of the Product at the time the warranty claim is made to Samsung if Samsung is unable to repair or replace the Product.

Samsung therefore has two options: 1) repair/replace the unit or 2) pay Louis the current market value. That’s not even slightly ambiguous. Even if you agree that “at its option” means that “unable to repair or replace the Product” is 100% up to Samsung regardless of its actual ability (which it appears to be), that still means they owe him current market value, which is in the ~$900 range – not what he paid for it. You’re way off-base with your assessment.

(edit: “does not apply” was, I hope, clearly intended to mean “in reference to this conversation because the criteria have obviously been met”.)

I’d say the play here is to buy a new one and return the old one but do a label swap.

Louis addressed this in his video. He pointed out that he’s suing in large part because Samsung is penalizing the honest way of doing things. He wants to promote the honest way by setting an example, and good for him.

«Works for me» is seldom a good advice.

That wasn’t the advice; the advice was “try offline tiles and see if that helps.” In their case, it didn’t, but it’s just covering arguably the most likely potential cause. The fact it wasn’t their problem doesn’t mean it wasn’t worth asking.

I’d also add that the borrow checker, to me, has a grossly overexaggerated difficulty/annoyance. It follows a simple set of a few easily learned rules, and in my experience, if you break one, it’ll tell you which and where. I feel like the type of C/C++ programmers complaining about it are mostly the ones that have mountains of hidden memory etc. bugs in their C/C++ code that Rust actually makes them clean up.

Edit: Another class I find are those who kind of just feel out the borrow checker blindly without sitting down for 20 minutes to learn how ownership works.

“Takes seconds” seems like a strange experience. I remember OsmAnd years ago performed like that for me – clearly, painfully loading in the individual tiles. But nowdays, it smoothly transitions between LoD and has no problem smoothly scrubbing over e.g. a major city.

I’m using offline vector maps, for context.

Edit: Trying online tiles again, I’m assuming your problem can be resolved by switching to offline. You can have the offline data update automatically such that you don’t have to worry about it. CoMaps and Organic only use offline maps, which is why they’re similarly snappy to offline OsmAnd.

This is under Configure Map > Map Source, and you only need to download for the region (usually e.g. a province) that you’re using.

Something I’d suggest if OsmAnd feels too cluttered for you is to change the settings; OsmAnd lets you change a lot, but one of the ones I do is to change “Map Style” to Osm-Carto.

Carto, for context, is the vector map that you’d find by going to the OSM website. Much cleaner color scheme, imo.

Yeah, OsmAnd is really good; it’s what I use as my daily driver. CoMaps/Organic to me feel too limited, but some people may like that.

(I use Vespucci for editing on Android.)

Would switch Organic Maps to its fork CoMaps. (See: this open letter)

And I would never recommend Brave as the first choice; it’s run by a shady corporation and reinforces Chromium’s hegemony.

I think it’d also be reasonable to add ProtonMail to email and Mullvad to VPN since you can have multiple.

OP, you might want to choose another medication. Xanax (alprazolam) is a benzo used in the treatment of severe anxiety and includes depression as a potential long-term side-effect. It can sometimes alleviate depression in the short-term, but this likely owes to anxiety’s close link with depression. The current evidence for its efficacy as an antidepressant is notably extremely poor:

Alprazolam appears to reduce depressive symptoms more effectively than placebo and as effectively as tricyclic antidepressants. However, the studies included in the review were heterogeneous, of poor quality and only addressed short-term effects, thus limiting our confidence in the findings. Whilst the rate of all-cause withdrawals did not appear to differ between alprazolam and placebo, and withdrawals were less frequent in the alprazolam group than in any of the conventional antidepressants combined group, these findings should be interpreted with caution, given the dependency properties of benzodiazepines.

As the Cochrane review notes, if you’re finding that benzodiazepine withdrawal is less frequent than that of traditional antidepressants, the existing body of data is heavily suspect.

I only say this because there are less confusing choices of medication for the joke.

The relevant Wikipedia policy, for those curious. This verges on but doesn’t violate it.

Formally on reddit?

Yes. I even write semi-formally on Mastodon for PCSX2 (or wrote; on hiatus) within its constraints; a PR team attempting to apologize for something will normally resort to formality regardless of the forum.

You’re giving off major “A 10-page essay before AI-assisted writing? As if!” vibes. I’m sorry basic PR etiquette is inconceivable to you personally. The Wendy’s Twitter account is that way if you want to soothe your preconceptions about PR on social media.

I write formally all the time; smells like a PR team writing formally.

Ah, yes, reaffirming that someone raising an issue is correct to have done so is the telltale sign of an LLM. Couldn’t just be basic professional writing etiquette that LLMs were trained forwards and backwards on; it has to have been written by an LLM.

You don’t actually write formally very much, do you?

Here’s a breakdown for some of the popular ones; almond milk is problematic for its water usage, but even accounting for locale, it doesn’t even come close to dairy milk.

That is, don’t let “perfect” be the enemy of “better” if your choice of milk is part of your environmentalism and you like almond milk.

You can just say fusion reactor

The Times of India is a rag that literally accepts bribes for positive coverage; sensationalist garbage is their bread and butter.

But it gets worse: this story is over two years out-of-date.

The KSTAR Research Center at the Korea Institute of Fusion Energy (KFE) announced on the 20th that during the ‘2023 KSTAR Plasma Campaign’ conducted from December of last year to February of this year [2024], it achieved a 48-second operation of ultra-high-temperature plasma at an ion temperature of 100 million degrees and a record 102-second operation in high-confinement mode (H-mode).

This happened back in 2024. Here’s a paper.

The “Tech Advisory Board”, to be clear, which is why they’re all people in technology; just saying “the board” implies a board of directors, which would be weird for someone like Steve Huffman as a side hustle.
