Seriously what is this? Nintendo argues that by instructing users how to extract the prod.keys from their own switch the yuzu developers are essencially infringing on the DMCA.

So what? Now you can't even freely use your own property anymore because it goes against the design intentions of some big company that just want's to milk their users?

Nintendo goes directly after this argument in its lawsuit, arguing that buying a Switch game only means you "have Nintendo's authorization to play that single copy on an unmodified Nintendo Switch console."

Yea, Microsoft is rapidly making Linux a MUCH more attractive OS, especially in spite of their effort to keep DirectX off of it.

thank god for the ability to install any OS you please on computers.

They're trying. It's one reason they wanted to require a TPM 2.0 module. It doesn't allow it itself, but it makes hardware MUCH easier to identify and block off hardware regardless of MS accounts and go further in the future.
