Exactly. Ask customers "do you want AI in your phone?" and their response will probably be "meh", as shown in the article. But ask "do you want notification summaries, a better camera in low light, Siri to be able to look up more things, searchable photos, etc?" - and they absolutely will.

> The use of "this one weird trick" is humorous at this point

Only when it's used ironically. If the article uses that as a headline and forces you to read the whole thing before giving so much as a hint what the "one weird trick" is, then it's legitimate clickbait.

Don't get me wrong, it's an interesting article. I just think if an article is attempting to humorously use a clickbait headline, then it owes it to the reader to at least add a subheading.

Then would you consider radio waves to be "light"?

Exactly. It's not sound, it's infrasound. "Sound" means audible to humans, much how "light" means visible to humans (e.g. radio waves are not considered "light").

As ridiculous as that is, it's not on the same level as GMC's mandatory subscription.

I don't really see the point on a physical keyboard. It makes sense to repurpose the enter key on a phone or tablet where there's limited real estate and the keyboard covers half the screen. On desktop/laptop, that isn't necessary - you can just tab over to the next field (or click it, for the less tech savvy), and click the "submit" button.

Also, it's right in front of your eyes, so it's clear when it says something else. Your computer keyboard isn't, and people don't usually look at the enter key before hitting it (even hunt-and-peck typers should have the enter key committed to muscle memory). Forcing people to look down at their keyboards before hitting enter would make ergonomics worse, not better.

> Emulators are legal, including emulators for current-gen systems. Switch emulation is exactly as legal as Gameboy emulation.

I know you're talking about emulators, not ROMs. But it's also worth mentioning that the legality of Switch ROMs actually is quite different from Game Boy ROMs. I was recently surprised to discover archive.org has ROMs for older systems - IANAL, but apparently this is covered by a DMCA exemption for obsolete formats [1]. Also, Switch ROMs are encrypted on the cartridge, and while I really don't know the details, breaking the encryption also seems to open another legal can of worms (remember when people would get tattoos of the DVD encryption key?).

Once again IANAL, but I suspect Nintendo would have a better case against videos that include instructions on acquiring & decrypting Switch ROMs. I'm not sure if that's the case with these videos or not.

No, this would give YYYYN

> Why not use full language names?

If I end up on the page in a language I don't know, then how would I find the language selector?

I agree that flags aren't great, but I don't know of any other solution to this problem.
