#2Careful taking lawsuit claims seriously. Especially then the claim drops from doing X to "attempting X" by paragraph 2 and by paragraph 6 is just being "willing" to attempt X.

#4This is such a BS lawsuit.
It would be so much better for consumers if they had instead looked into googles firebase and play services shenanigans.

What are the Firebase shenanigans you refer to? First I’ve heard of it but I’m interested.

I'm just saying, title doesn't match content doesn't match actual complaint...

I'd imagine it's something like iOS where you don't get battery friendly push notifications without using services from the OS vendor and there's no way for the user to select a 3rd party service instead.

#8After my S5, an SSD, and a Samsung TV, I've learned that Samsung delivers medium/low quality products at high prices through relentless marketing.
Any company that needs to advertise as much as Samsung/Apple/Jeep/Nintendo should be cause for skepticism.

You lost me at Samsung/Apple/Jeep/Nintendo. I’d definitely put Apple in the top tier of phone and laptop quality. Especially w.r.t laptops, the majority of Windows devices seem comparatively low quality. I’m not sure about their other products but I also don’t see them advertised as much.
Similarly with Nintendo, they seem to deliver consistently higher quality than competitors. They may not be as fast but they last for years and deliver equal or more enjoyment at a lower price point.
A product is more than it’s specs.

It might be better if you contact Ars Technica's editors instead of sound off about it on HN.
