>Oklahoma-based Abington Cole + Ellery, which specializes in class-action litigation, is asking affected Intel customers to contact the law firm about participating in a potential lawsuit.
>caught the attention of attorneys looking to capitalize on it.
Yes, I will gladly contact some suave gentlemen in business suits so I can make 10 cents while they make bank if I register with so-and-so entity after a dozen years of wasting the judiciary's time, all the while crapping on a company I like.
Not.
- kennethrc 2y agoSeriously. Fuck those vultures
- janalsncm 2y agoWhat is the alternative? Intel gets to ship defective products with no consequences? I don’t like lawyers but I guarantee there are equally if not more suave Intel lawyers who would tell customers to shove it if they could.
- Dalewyn 2y agoYou file warranty RMAs with Intel if you are adversely affected and they make you whole.
- janalsncm 2y agoYes, the article mentions that a class action only works if Intel isn’t honoring the warranty. The threat of a lawsuit is part of what incentivizes Intel to RMA instead of ignore.
- Dalewyn 2y agoIntel is already honoring most warranty claims as far as I'm aware, the only thing they've refused to do is issue a voluntary recall. So this supposed lawsuit isn't even serving that dubious purpose. As an aside, I have a 14700K. I've not filed for an RMA because it's been working perfectly fine for the better part of a year now.
- janalsncm 2y agoI have the 14900K too. My machine had some weird instability issues a few weeks ago but I haven’t had time to investigate if the chip caused it. I guess my point is that it’s better if Intel behaves, but if they don’t we have some recourse. Lawyers are a last resort thing.
