Few commenters so far seem to have read the article.

It's not notable that they're complying with their warranty terms, but that they shipped him a replacement kit when providing a refund of the original purchase price also fulfills the terms of the warranty.

    There is absolutely no way I'd have turned those in.

    Edit: I found the article, the lad may have a payout coming to him.

    It is now held in Brussels as authorities investigate its legal ownership. Belgian law mandates a five-year waiting period for claimants; afterward, the find could be divided between Kobe and the property owner if no owner comes forward and it's not criminal money.

    The dogmatically anti-AI fraction of Lemmy tend to forget or not care that anyone who uses AI is still a person. Their behavior trends toward judgmental and cliquish, performing for the approval of others. This results in the same harm to the online social landscape that some express concern with be caused by the rise of AI.

    It reminds me very much of teen behavior in secondary school, but presumably most of them are adults. Make of that what you will.

    For the record, I'm largely and ever-increasingly anti-AI. I'm also increasingly anti-bullying and much of that lot are just bullies using AI protest as a veneer of righteousness. Kinda like some church folk.

    This is the second time this has happened. I delete all my old posts and comments using PowerDeleteSuite. I view my profile - everything selected is gone. A few months later, it's all back. I repeat the process, verifying it's all gone. I log in today, months later, and it's back. Simply maddening.

    Is there anything I can do to make it stick?
