Nintendo has been issued a challenge by Brazil's official consumer protection agency over the company's recently changed user agreement, which now gives Nintendo the right to remotely brick your console if you muck around with it in a way Nintendo doesn't like. The Brazilian watchdog wants Nintendo to remove the relevant clause from their agreement, citing legal reasons like not violating consumers rights to access services they've paid for. But I just hope they know who they're dealing with here. As far as I know, every Nintendo employee has been to law school. But this whole Nintendo bricking consoles thing took on a new dimension this week when a Redditor going by Bim Tongue said they bought an open box Switch 2 from Walmart only to discover it was apparently pre-owned by a hooligan who got the console struck by Nintendo's online services ban. probably because they were trying to use it to hack an orphanage or something disturbing. Suddenly, it's hitting a lot of people presumably, or maybe just me, that the secondhand Switch market is about to become a bit of a minefield. I mean, sure, people and retailers can learn to verify that the console isn't banned before buying or selling, but now that's a thing we have to do because Nintendo decided that there wasn't enough e-waste in the world. Meanwhile, over in Japan, there are numerous reports of Switch 2 consoles overheating, usually while playing Cyberpunk in docked mode, even with the dock fans going full blast. Although, there have also been English language Reddit posts about the Switch 2 getting hot while running. So, Nintendo fans might just be learning about how consoles get hot sometimes once they can render big boy games. Microsoft has announced another round of layoffs with around 9,000 employees or about 4% of the company's entire workforce getting chopped. A couple hundred of those cut jobs are coming from Xbox despite gaming chief Phil Spencer saying the Xbox platform hardware and game road map have never looked stronger. Xbox is the meatiest it's ever been. So, it's a perfect time to slice a nice big sirloin off right out of there and gobble it up raw. As part of the layoff, some Xbox projects are being cancelled, including the Perfect Dark reboot developed by The Initiative, which is also being closed down, the studio, and Ever Wild, the game announced in 2019 from Rare that looked like it was just about chilling and doing magic with mystical beasts. Well, if they didn't want to get cancelled, they should have made the game about lines and making them go up. Lesson learned. Open AAI is still trying to fight a court order in the New York Times lawsuit, forcing them to retain and provide the chat GPT logs of all users. Something the company says they don't want to do because they care so so much about user privacy. You guys don't even know how much we care about user privacy. It's it's a big deal. To be clear, privacy obviously is an issue with the order. But though OpenAI doesn't say it, the logs could also reveal more evidence of copyright infringement or hallucinated nonsense improperly attributed to a source that didn't even say that. But also, the logs could provide ammunition to potential plaintiffs looking to take the advice of the judge who recently ruled that metaanthropic training their AI on copyrighted materials was fair use, but only because the plaintiffs in that case made the wrong arguments. They should have worked at Nintendo first and gone to law school. That was dumb. The judge said other authors or news organizations could make a stronger case against Meta or OpenAI by focusing on how the use of Llama or Chat GBT has affected the market for books or news content. Or if you don't want to go the legal route, you could use Cloudflare's new payper crawl feature, which will let content creators charge AI companies to set their web crawlers loose on the creators content.

In a blog post published yesterday, NVIDIA said it was coming in the second half of July, but GPU partner Ino3D said their 50/50s are on shelf now. And if you're getting deja vu, it's because this is the third 8 GB card from NVIDIA this generation without any launch day reviews. I don't know, maybe they're just sparing reviewers from feeling dumb for staying up all night reviewing a card no one's going to buy. Speaking of no one, nothing has fully unveiled what it calls its first true flagship phone, the Phone 3, which will actually properly launch in the US for 800 bucks on July 15th with four 50 megapixel cameras and a fun little glyph display on the back.
