Joke’s on you, I was already stupid to begin with.

If you continue going to the buffet with shit, that’s on you. There are plenty of them without shit. You’re just a vegan luddite at this point. You don’t wanna eat animals, so you expect everyone around you to also not eat animals because it’s against your beliefs.

Sorry. Not how the world works. AI is here to stay because it’s useful to people. Whine and bitch and moan all you want, it’s not going away.

You have the ability to choose an insurance company that doesn’t use those things. Hell, you even have the ability to self-insure in most states with enough collateral. Nothing is being forced on you. Hell - you EVEN have the ability to hire an in-person insurance agent – did you know that?

Sure, it’s not as cheap - but you’ve always been able to do this. You are not being forced like you claim, your own ignorance is what betrays you to the options you have available.

And what other people do with their ingestion of AI is their business, not yours.

Without AI, all of the things you say they are doing WITH AI were already possible. They could ALREADY spy on employees. They could ALREADY lie and manipulate people. All AI does is make it happen on a wider scale.

So instead of attacking “AI” “AI” “AI”…why not attack the things that are being done wrong, rather than the fact that it’s AI?

Nobody is forcing you to do anything by their use of AI. You don’t have a right to TikTok not having things made with AI because you have the freedom to simply not use TikTok. Just as an example.

No, because you use the uppermost-bound of the statement. Your opinion doesn’t take precident as the opinion above it (polluting the river) already violates the rights of others. Your opinion literally is the same as mine. That the person polluting the river (their opinion being they can) - shouldn’t be able to use that opinion to affect others. You’re saying the same as I am, but focused on the wrong part.

Like with religion – You’re free to believe whatever you want to believe. That you’re not allowed to have abortions, etc.

But the moment YOUR belief, says that I can’t have an abortion, is when it becomes invalid, because it’s not MY belief. I don’t have to abide by YOUR belief/opinion on the matter. Your opinions don’t dictate my actions.

Now, you can control your actions - by, say - not buying from me. You control your actions, so while you can’t force companies not to AI, there’s nothing forcing you to buy from them when you are aware of its use. You can’t stop them from using it because you don’t like it though. Your opinion of it being good/bad, or if they can/should/shouldn’t use it matters absolutely none.

Yeah, that’s what I thought.

Is that because you can’t pinpoint it yourself? There’s a reason that you can’t. It’s because no contradiction exists.

Have you thought about this for more than 2 seconds?

Have YOU? - Your example is clearly them violating the rights of others. This isn’t some paradox point of view or the “got ya!” moment that you think it is.

Oh no, people are assaulting me with their different opinions!

No - you can’t say no. People have a right to use AI in their productions, and your opinion cannot force them to do otherwise.

As with anything - the moment your opinion starts to dictate other people’s lives, it becomes invalid.

That is for bluetooth multicasting to multiple devices. Not stereo audio with mic channel. They STILL artificially limit you to EITHER Stereo Audio OR Mono Audio and a Mic.

Yeah, but can it do Stereo Audio AND a mic channel at the same time?

If it can’t, in 2025…fuck off.

This simple feature, is the reason why “gaming” headsets are still >$200

No company in the history of electronics has ever been in the habit of remotely bricking devices, get real.

And yes, I’ve read it - ON TOP of that, I’m familiar with these types of clauses in a real world basis. Let me tell you, you’re off in lala land with your interpretation.

No, Bricking would be rendering the firmware useless. It has a definition and this is not it. Rendering the Switch unable to play games, does not make it a brick. Definitions matter.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brick_(electronics)

A brick (or bricked device) is a mobile device, game console, router, computer or other electronic device that is no longer functional due to corrupted firmware, a hardware problem, or other damage

Banning you from using their online service, does not make the Switch a brick, as the firmware still functions as intended.

So now, you’re arguing over a “What if” – AND you’re getting definitions completely wrong, resulting in the spread of misinformation.

You don’t know what form will be taken when this happens. They haven’t used it yet. I could say in a EULA that I have the right to destroy earth, doesn’t make it true. Certain things are unenforceable, and you don’t know what route or method Nintendo is going to use that this clause is supposedly protecting.

The EULA is a “we CAN do this”. It doesn’t dictate what form it will take, how they approach it, etc. Until someone breaks this clause, we won’t know how it’s approached, or even if it’s enforced, or how.

If they allow local games and all that’s lost is the online service, then we don’t know this for sure - it’s all speculation. We’re all arguing over a bunch of “what ifs”.

Context matters here, they are specifically talking about Nintendo Account Services - and they have to include the device, because disabling nintendo account services could render the device “unusable”. They are not about to flash your firmware out from under you and brick the device.

There are digital license versions from what I understand, and then there are full-fat versions. Unless something has changed.

That STILL doesn’t make the “they’ll brick your switch!” thing true. If the hardware can be hacked, then it’s still usable.

“Bricked” has a very special, specific meaning - generally that the lowest level firmware is completely unworkable, and you cannot use the system at all - no screen, no buttons, no lights, nothing.

If you can fire the thing up, and it log into a network, and then tell you that you’ve been banned from Nintendo Online and refuse certain functionality – You’ve been banned, not bricked.
