Louis Vuitton has learned a lot over the years. Their storefronts in France are now fully protected with bulletproof glass. I have a feeling this type of glass is about to become a bestseller across Europe.

Louis Vuitton built a Porsche 911 that feels more like wearable art than a car. Paired with Singer, they’ve taken the purest 911 silhouette and layered it with the kind of obsessive craftsmanship only a house like LV can pull off. This is the one collectors are going to chase for years. Writer: Val

Louis Wain was born in London in 1860 and became one of Britain’s most recognizable illustrators through his highly anthropomorphic cat drawings, which often showed felines dressed in human clothing or engaging in everyday social activities. His love of cats reportedly deepened through his wife Emily, who was diagnosed with cancer shortly after their marriage. To comfort her, Wain frequently sketched their pet cat, Peter, helping inspire the style that would define his career. At the height of his fame in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Wain’s work appeared widely in newspapers, magazines, postcards, and children’s books, greatly influencing popular perceptions of cats and helping transform them into beloved household companions. Despite his success, Wain struggled financially throughout much of his life due to poor business decisions, limited copyright protections, and supporting his mother and sisters. As he aged, his mental health declined, and he was eventually committed to psychiatric institutions. Though commonly labeled with schizophrenia, modern experts debate this diagnosis. Public concern over his welfare, including support from figures such as H. G. Wells, helped improve his living conditions, and he spent his later years in more comfortable hospitals where he continued creating art. #archaeohistories#

Louis Rossmann is planning to sue Samsung because of a warranty problem with a 4TB SSD drive that he bought from Best Buy for around 330 dollars about two years ago and that stopped working while still under warranty. He sent Samsung proof of the failure and they asked for the drive to test it but after checking they returned it saying it was fine even though Rossmann tested it again and confirmed it was still broken. Samsung then offered him only the original 330 dollar refund and said they had no stock for a replacement yet the exact same drive is currently selling on Amazon for about 949 dollars.

Louis Rossmann fights for buyers' rights and recently spoke out against Electronic Arts over problems with Dead Space 2. The PC version of the game came out in 2011 and uses special copy protection called TAGES SolidShield. This system only lets you start the game on five computers, after which you can get locked out. Simple things like reinstalling Windows, upgrading your graphics card, or installing the game on a new device often use up all five starts. When that happens, you cannot play the single-player game anymore even if you paid for it. EA stopped providing tools to fix activations years ago and no longer supports the game. But they still sell it on Steam for about $20 with no warning about the problem. In a new video, Rossmann shared a buyer’s bad experience. He says cases like this make some people think piracy is fair because if a company sells a game but stops helping you play it, you do not truly own what you bought.
