These early adopters found out what happened when a cutting-edge marvel became an obsolete gadget... inside their bodies.

This sort of tech needs to be heavily regulated in how proprietary it can be; not at fucking all.

At a minimum, one should be able to cut off access to the internet so a company can't EoS killswitch it/pull a Nintendo and send an EoS fuck you update that breaks any attempts to put control in the user's hands

Mind, that's a really fucking low bar, and would be depressing if that's all regulation guaranteed

What did Nintendo do exactly? I know they pull off a lot of shit, but I have not heard about this

When EoS came for 3DS, they sent out one last update to kill as many methods of accessing homebrew as possible
