Absolutely disgusting behaviour from an official Samsung technician who swipes a exacto knife on a customers TV to void his warrenty.

I woke up from a nap, watch the first minute of this and said to myself. Damn, Louis Rossmann needs to see this, then the chad appeared on the screen like a genie

I haven't watched the video. In another thread, someone pointed out that this is generally something they do after they've agreed to ship out a free replacement tv.

The repairman is vandalising the TV to void Warranty, so no I think you didn't see the video before commenting.

Went through warranty replacement for a TV and was simply asked to write "void" and a big X on the warranty sticker. Even had the option to give the almost perfectly fine TV away (I did to someone who greatly benefited from it)

Lucky you, the guy in the video was NOT that lucky. His TV was vandalized by the Samsung repairman to void warranty, after which the repair guy closed the ticket, leaving the customer with a vandalized TV on top of the original flaw.

~~I don't known why you're being downvoted. This seems totally reasonable. Maybe people don't like having their rage orgasm ruined by logic.~~

Edit: I have crossed out the dumb reply from this idiot.

You didn’t watch the video either, did you?

This is 2024. Ain't nobody got time to watch the content before commenting on it.

For real, though, that's fucking terrible. I finally watched the video.

Because it's a completely disconnected misrepresentation of a repairman vandalising the TV to void warranty.
