Actually I just got my payment from an Apple class action about Siri triggering during private conversations.

It was $40 which was kinda crazy high for such a broad class action.

Imagine if stalkers only had pay their victim $40 and then they can continue to stalk.

I don't know why but I'm reminded of the only moments of satisfaction I ever got in life fighting corporate America.

Wells Fargo, objectively one of the worst banking institutions in the world repossessed my vehicle despite me getting payments in, citing that they were late payments so they didn't "meet contractual obligations" but apparently they REALLY wanted my truck that was already breaking down so I woke up one day and it was gone. The loan-agent manager that I talked to literally made implied threats against me, and we had weekly shouting matches on the phone up to that point.

Whatever, it was gone. Another massive wrench in my life I had to deal with. Cue my Uber Years.

Fast forward five years or so later and suddenly I start getting checks in the mail. First a hundred here and there, with notes that I was being refunded for "overpaying" and some vague legal BS.

Then I got like, $500, then $1000, now with wording that the whole department was facing a class-action settlement and trying to repay customers that had been wrongly overbilled and then I suddenly got a check for over $10k, which was the remaining balance of the loan on the truck, and basically an "apology" of sorts that my truck was "improperly seized."

Apparently I had signed up for a class-action suit and didn't even remember it, it was just one more thing to sign in a stack of bullshit, so I never really paid attention. I mean, last class-action case I decided to get in on, I got less than $3.00.

edit: entire 10k went into a family member's cancer treatment so there's that. 'murca.
