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."

I build my own. Though I still need non-free software to run, I don't think it is from any DMCA enforcers.

System76 is not too bad if you want something mildly customizable but don't want to futz with doing assembly yourself. I get my laptops from them.

I've tried open phones (multiple) and I still use a Pixel. There is a choice, but I was willing to trade off my freedom for function there. I wish that wasn't the choice and when I can I support efforts to make it easier for people to choose freedom there.

So, yeah, there is often a choice. Doesn't make the status quo acceptable.
