I don't hate golfers or golf, I just don't understand how anyone can spend such an inordinate amount of time walking around hitting a little ball.

I like it, one less trip to the attic with the tree.
This keyboard reminds me a lot my previous keyboard, it was PC/AT - plugged it in through a PC/AT -> PS/2 adapter.
Which is fine until the piracy detection system has a false positive and you lose your Switch. Or you buy a second hand copy of a game the original owner made a copy of and continues to use and your switch gets bricked. I understand you're in the EU, but this kind of nonsense would definitely put me off a system that's already inordinately expensive.
Can I work on it too?
Not defending them here at all, but did the checks need to be chased personally? I assume their assistant opened/gathered/cashed all their incoming checks.
I use mine for prime. Everything else is libreelec though.
Or they don't know about us and we never figured in their rewriting.
Well it's fucked now, I thought we all agreed not to say it and see if it made any difference
Like "I need to get home to see my dying child" and they think "oh yes, what a perfect opportunity to demonstrate our ability to extract as much money as possible"
I wonder about these fuckers, like what is wrong with them. I totally understand theorising about this crap, it wouldn't be the first time I'd been down a line of thought purely thinking about "how could I maximise this" or "how could I solve this problem" but at some point I take a step back and "wait no, this is a horrendous idea" occurs to me. And then there's this twat who thinks "oh yeah, we should extract as much money from paying customers as possible and then we'll do it in other industries" and says it like they think everyone is going to think it's a good idea.
If you're offline only, they can't afaik. In the case of online I'm lead to believe each individual cart is signed with a unique certificate so they can tell if that cart has been used in more than one console. If there's two instances of the same thing online at the same time it must be pirated.
In terms of reversal - I'll work from the premise we agree that it's unacceptable a customer loses access to a device they purchased and own because the company doesn't like it. But let's say it happens, how much hassle is it going to be to undo it? The console is bricked so it's presumably not running/able to go online? Do I need access to a PC to fix it? Do I need to send it off to Nintendo? Go to a game store?
Fwiw I like tinkering with consoles and devices - not necessarily because of piracy, I just like running weird software on them or making them do things they weren't meant to. It's not a common use case, but it's valid enough. Why should Nintendo control that.
