“Console modding enthusiasts beware, Nintendo might take away your system. According to a recently updated account services user agreement and privacy policy, Nintendo reserves the right to, “render the Nintendo Account Services and / or the applicable Nintendo device permanently unusable in whole or in part.” The change, first reported by Game File, came with a May 7th update and centers on Nintendo’s policy regarding how players use their consoles and Nintendo accounts.”

The Verge · Nintendo might brick your Switch if you break the rulesBy Ash Parrish

Apparently steel gets brittle from cold at much higher temperatures than I previously thought. It was maybe -12°C when I broke several bits (from different sets/makes) in a row before giving up. Some of these had driven hundreds of screws before, so they weren't made of cheese.

Ants Pants mentioned this in a video and I didn't believe it because I thought cold embrittlement wasn't a thing until -70°C or thereabouts. 🤷
