They do? I mean sure Ring by necessity send video off to the borg, but what makes you think Nintendo designed a system whereby a live video stream is fed to them in real time to allow the Switch to get the video feed, add AR effects to it, take a controller input, and feed it back to the system all with critically lot latency required to play a fast game?

I think you are definitely getting to old. You're not thinking things through. Anyway here's a product to suit you: https://www.amazon.com/Initech...

When the DMV is selling drivers' personal info, what makes you think that Nintendo will not? They already force you (I think) to have an account for the Switch, and now there's a camera going around the house, tied to that acount. IMHO, at this point, it is naive to not expect them to do it.

Also, not that it's really important, but they don't need real-time feed. A few snapshots of the house every time you play are enough, and they can be uploaded at a later time.

Billions upon billions spent over many decades and the only thing CERN can show is "the Higgs boson", observed only there and only after serious data massaging.

Sure, the thousands of young scientists and engineers that were trained there, It's just a black hole for public money.

Same goes for all the contracts with industry that helps build, equip and maintain it. Absolutely no effect on the economy.

Not to mention all the inventions and advances that have come out of it throughout the years while trying to push the boundaries of what is achievable. The touchscreen on your phone, the World Wide Web and many other things, that's nothing.

No, I fully agree with you, apart from all that... what have the Romans done for us?

CERN's budget for 2020 is approximately 1.2 billion USD, coming from 30 countries. In comparison, the US spent in 2019 more than 700 billions USD on military expenditures, while France, Germany and the UK each spent 50 billions USD. Based on these numbers, I say we stop right now this CERN madness and return that 1.2 billion USD to the 30 participating countries to change the world.
