Well, i am for one glad they pulled the plug on "crap" note (that's how i always call it).
I will probably be punished for saying this but it was just a waste or resources...a big SPAM generator.

Man it felt good to let it out...

Because, you know, being able to uninstall it or turn off notifications isn't good enough if you personally dislike it, right?

I hate it so no one deserves to use it. So says the almighty Etheboss!

Is that what I said? No, not at all. Not even close. Isaid, his statement is quite incorrect, and that's an example of it.
To be fair and to play devil's advocate, a user is supposed to be 13 or older to get on the intertubes (facebook, twitter, etc). 5-10 year olds playing on the 3DS very likely do not have a Facebook, and if they did would you be their friend? Would they hang out in forums such as this? Because of these examples I think your reasoning is flawed. I also thought what Pingouin said was funny, so there's that.

You're saying that we can't say the 3DS is mainly used by children on the basis that your list of relatives is mostly 15+ people compared to 15- people.

Also, why does everyone keep saying an animation utility can replace a messenger? The only similarity between Flipnote and Swapnote is you draw and it has the word note.

Ok. Lets break this down.


a user is supposed to be 13 or older to get on the intertubes (facebook, twitter, etc).

Supposed to, and a legal set and enforced limit are two different things. I know when I was 10, the only thing keeping me off the internet was my Mom getting on the computer before me.

5-10 year olds playing on the 3DS very likely do not have a Facebook

What decade are you living in? Ten year olds have goddamn Smartphones that COME with these apps on them, see their parents and older siblings constantly checking it, and able to do basic math and spelling. Maybe ten year olds aren't checking it daily and able to fully use it, but an 11 or 12 year old can sure as hell use it.


Would they hang out in forums such as this?

Probably not here, because its a hotbed of morons who have nothing better to do then argue with people they don't know (Wait... Oh shit...)

But GameFAQs? Gamespot? IGN? NintendoLife? Look at almost ANY of those. I can assure you, you'll find at least ONE ten year old poster after 30 minutes of causal browsing.

(Thanks whoever merged these, really sorry about the double posting.)

    Sorry you're not good with Windows Sylvester. lol
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Because co-pilot doesnt even show up on my pc. Not in the taskbar, not in the start menu search, and the option in settings to turn it on and off in the taskbar is not even displayed.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Well, I complain about Microsoft all the time. You seem to enjoy it, no offense. If you like using Windows, that's fine by me.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Everything is my own opinions.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Liking Windows or not is an opinion. Yes.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Being able to disable copilot is not an opinion. lol. its a fact that it can be disabled.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Yet you just laugh about it when I tell you, like Im lying
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    People can dislike Windows all they want. But I will call out the over-exaggerations, misconceptions, half truths, and lies about it.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Tired of the entire "BUT BUT BUT WINDOWZ SPYWARE!!!" thing too, when the same people give out tons of their personal info to plenty of other companies but say nothing about it.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @RedColoredStars, Companies do the exact same thing with other companies as well, so it's not just Microsoft. There are 3rd-parties like 'data brokers'.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    I'm 52 years old and one of my jobs in life was marketing research. Im well aware. I've been online for around 30 years. Everyone and their grandmother already has my personal information. One more having my email address isn't ruining my life or even effecting me in any way whatsoever.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    In fact. I freely give info. Stuff like gasoline apps, to save $, grocery apps, lots of cash back from rakuten, etc. etc.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    $300 back last year from Rakuten for allowing them to track my purchase. I'll take the money for them to know I bought a bunch of stuff for my cat and some video games. lol

    No matter what you sign up for your info is out there

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Thats what im saying
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv2, Exactly.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    And for people to say things like "But I use all fake info". No, they don't. lol. They use fake info for all of their banking and online shopping? Fake shipping address, fake payment info? lol
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Fake name, address and payment info for internet service, etc? lol. Ill say it again. Everyone freaks out about OMG WINDOWS!! But crickets on anything else they do.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Other windows stuff people complain about hypocritically too. Like "But but but Windows bundle junk apps!!!!" Yeah?? So do many Linux distributions. Dont like it? Use one without them. Same with windows. Either find a pre-made version without the bundled stuff, or very easily make your own installer with what you want and do not want.

    I agree with all above! Microsoft made a biggest mess with us and everyone! I wish Microsoft company should be fired then lost it. LOL :rofl2:

    I dont like the stuff added either. I have zero use for copilot or recall. But I also just simply disable it and move on.
