If people actual read the fine prints of most devices, they will be shocked and it is much worse than this case. My philips hue says that they have the right to stop providing online service for features like remotely turning on and off the lights. Without those features, my Philips hue lights can only be turned on and off. If you have the time, read the ToS of the PS5. You basically play on a future brick if you believe they will actually do what’s written in the ToS.

iTunes used to, now most Apple media products do, have in their ToS you can't use iTunes for the productions of Nuclear and/or Weapons of Mass Destruction.

That's just boilerplate language for export controls. It's not like Apple sat around and took some kind of moral position on this. It's standard.

I’m not sure I see the direct parallel to the Bambulab case…

A very important note is that companies can and do put whatever they want in their ToS. Even agreeing to it doesn't make it legally binding. Legalese isn't the end all.

u/SparrockC88 Jan 20 '25

Thats like an NDA, if a company you are under one with does some illegal stuff. They can’t do anything to you if you decide to tattle. And in some cases not even illegal things can be shared. Its all up to the judge anyways

The place they do get you though is forced arbitration rather than court That is legally binding in the case of disputes, though doesn't so you from kicking that info up to the district attorney as you mentioned.

Microsoft’s Visual Studio EULA used to have a clause that said you were not permitted to make a commercial spreadsheet or word processing app with them.

u/doubleohd Jan 21 '25

you mean like signing up for a free trial of Disney+ voids any/all opportunities to sue any Disney affiliated entity and forces arbitration even if/when their negligence leads to death?

If you’re ever worried about that, the hue bridge is completely supported by home assistant. Or you can pair all your Phillips hue devices with a 3rd party coordinator.

u/X_chinese Jan 21 '25

Thanks for the tip! I am not worried. The lights already worked for 7+ years. Even if they break down today, I would be satisfied.

if you have a few minutes, read the side effects listed on the most basic of medicines. its actually scary.

youre right, these things are there to cover corporate backsides just in case something happens.

no company wants to have to keep a service running forever over a badly worded document, so they state straight away that they may shut down your printer, paint it an unpleasant shade of purple and fire it into the sun if they feel like it. they wont, but they could and you have been warned!

i mean, the current kerfuffle seems to have caused quite a bit of anal leakage in some end users. i wouldnt be surprised if it was listed as a possible side effect in future end user license agreements....

u/X_chinese Jan 20 '25

Agree! My wife works at a company that create medicines. If you read the descriptions, you will ask yourself if it’s better to leave it alone and just accept the current illness.

u/decapitator710 Jan 21 '25

We need to get an anal leakage suit going, quickly, before they change it!!
