Aren't Nintendo's lawyers second to none (maybe other than Disney)? Or do we think we're in a situation where the legality of it is moot? My gut is that we will see a response from Nintendo.

I don't see a world where Larry gets financially hosed. The whole system is setup to protect him, there will be a parachute.

I would think the more viable path (in the US) would be the legal system. i.e. Amazon pressuring frontier labs to add "safeguards" to protect their IP.

Always has been imo.

>The problem is, that this blames the government instead of the company.

Both are true though right? The company needs to be held accountable for price collusion by the government. Government not acting due to lobbying (i.e. bribes).

Being from the US, I hadn't considered that HR could be anything other than employee hostile.

Unfortunately, they're controlling the narrative. It's unlikely that their negligence will come to light, given how many powerful entities are invested in their financial success.

> it would cause someone to lose a job they didn’t know was under threat

Under this guidance, wouldn't almost every technological advancement then qualify as bad? i.e. typewriter repair, etc.

> And yes, I tried again

This made me laugh a bit. I was forced to do an evaluation of their shit product twice due to being backed by the same PE firm; "take a look at it again, it's much better now". It sucked the second time also...

In recent memory of companies I've worked for, even the absolute WORST executives haven't gotten fired. They always announce that "it's time for another adventure" or "I am taking a break". So I am not shocked they didn't fire him, although the board is now probably wishing they did.

You just need to have a M5, 128gi setup to get sub 1 sec playlist loads /s

Maybe a bit of hindsight bias / the outside view here, but I feel like they're completely asleep if they didn't anticipate strong demand for this specific use case.

Same. My last vice is Reddit, which I really need to quit.

Slightly off topic, but I strongly believe that the rise of "professional" CEOs was the beginning of the end for quality products and services. Before, you were generally an expert in your particular domain and was invested in solving the customer's problems.
