wow, so just more trash and waste for the sake of making toys AI integrated...?

I'm all for giving kids the tools of the future early (with limits)

but why do we have to make it disposable? (profit, I know, its rhetorical guys).

You do realize it's rechargeable, right? I watched jerryrigeverything's video on it and it's honestly a pretty neat and impressive little gadget. I cant imagine the battery ever needing to be replaced even if it were designed to be possible. I would expect it to last 5+ years of heavy play before its battery life would be effected enough to notice.

Kind of sad how low the bar is for our expectations these days...
