PSA: Google May Owe You $7.70

[Telos]

From the NY Times

Anyone who clicked on a Google search result link from October 2006 to September 2013 is entitled to a piece — however small — of a $23 million settlement that the tech giant has agreed to pay to resolve a class-action lawsuit.

The settlement’s administrators set up a website for people to submit claims. According to the site, the estimated individual payout stands at $7.70. But that figure can fluctuate based on the number of people who make valid claims.

It took literally years before I received the $$ from the Capacitor Direct lawsuit.
I filed year before I retired 2014. Went through paperwork to keep them informed of my address change.
Received two checks, one for each of the capacitor types covered, this year!
Involved poor quality and incorrect construction of electrolytic and metal film capacitors.

That sounds like the Flux Capacitor litigation. I heard it will be settled some time in the future.

Actually it was settled a couple years ago. It took that long to send checks.
I alerted company I worked for at the time, but they thought it would take too much time to document. I did my documentation in about 30 min, and received a nice settlement.. Enough for next parts order!

I see what you did there...

Fun fact: I grew up 2 miles away from the Twin/Lone Pine Mall.

You should have had to troubleshoot the bad caps! Electrolytic’s were relatively easy, if you had an ESR meter. The metal film devices not so easy.
