By the plain text reading, yes. Would be nice to see PS streams fall to 0, but people ignore the terms and Sony doesn't enforce them until they want to. Doesn't matter what any of this BS says until they drag you in front of a judge... I mean private arbitrator... and say "look, plain as day, subsection 18.XXVI.xix D(13a) on page 47 where it clearly says we get to move our VP into his spare bedroom and shoot his dog"

We seriously are overdue for putting limits on so-called consumer contracts.

They are recording and publicly publishing their unsympathetic crimes. Arrest them.

I mean, okay.

Step 0: Company secretly abuses you. Step 1: New regulation requires that the abuse be disclosed.

More than I expected out of this administration. Honestly thought they'd say "Do it more! Abuse of customers is innovation or something!"

Obviously the solution is actually to make this practice illegal and aggressively persue violators like they're Ecuadorian fishermen and a new batch of Epstein emails dropped with incomplete redactions, but the bar for this administration is so low it's somewhere at the bottom of the river Styx, so gg I guess.

What if we punished crimes instead of monetizing them? We've had a multimedia Internet for a generation now, we could do this.

I mean, you often need people with direct knowledge of obvious things to say them in court under oath.

I mean, they should, but they won't. I'll take human typos over LLM "hallucinations" most days.

Please just bring back traditional voice to text, with its dumb but decipherable errors instead of these plausible left field LLM "hallucinations".

I'd rather the computer write that I'm coming in for a "score throat and fever" than the sort of random ass shit LLMs can throw in there.

I don't need physical media, a DRM-free download that I can save on my own will do.

All government agencies get gouged. It's absurd.

Man, you can't even teach adults that.

Maybe, but Amazon in particular will also bag/box every solitary thing. Not sure if it balances, but it's an interesting question when you put it that way.

Still, I expect they prioritize meeting service levels over fuel economy.
