  • No the government should not stay out of it.

    How does this make any sense “if you, or anyone you know, has ever bought our taxi, you can not sue when our driver hits you”?

    “Buyer beware” is not an argument when this shit is buried in pages of dence leagle documents or in some case never presented to the end user (in the case of a things like appliance delivery, where the buyer never sees the documents included). Do you expect me to hire a lawyer to buy a washer machine, or to sign up for a free Disney+ trail? Speaking of Disney, how about that “allergy friendly” restuant that killed someone with allergies. Theae forced arbitration clauses are letting companies people get away with wrongful deaths.

    implied warranty of merchantability If the restaurant says their food does not contain an ingredient and they say the food prep is craefully done to ensure no cords contamination and someone dies because the ingredient was in the food - there’s a problem and justice needs to be upheld.

    Being a rebublicans or wanting “small goverment” has nothing to do with this. Yes too much gov intervention is bad, but with out it we’d still be eating rats in our hamburgers.

    Don’t bring abritarty sides into a problem when people are dying and no one is getting held accountable.



  • So there will be at least a partial refund right? Of course not.

    This is like selling someone a birthday cake and after they have a few slices you scrape of the remaining frosting and suck out the moisture.

    IMO juicebox should be responsible for 25-50% refunds for taking away the web features, depending on how much more it cost than similar products without the features. The charger it self still work, so I don’t think a 100% refund should be required.

    Alternatively, they can (preferably) release the software under an open source license or sell the service to another company who is forced to match whatever the subscription cost is for at least 7 years.

    Edit: I just read a comment on the article, I take back what I said, 100% refund + plus cost for an elecrrition to rip this shit out peoples homes.

    your charger can potentially deliver more power than the branch circuit to which it is attached (i.e. if you have a 48 amp charger on a 40 amp circuit) you need to use the software to derate the charger so that it limits charging to an amount valid for your circuit.

    That should not be a software switch…
