They are unenforceable for more reasons than that. They also can not prove that you agreed to it, only that someone did.

Also, they can't change the terms of your previous purchase after the fact. They can make you agree to something new going forward, but if they make your current device a brick because you don't agree (which they are doing here), then they need to reimburse you for causing the loss of use of your device that you already purchased and was working under the previous terms.

FLAC or some other lossless format is better.

It's easier said than done, but it's not that difficult. It's mostly reconfiguration of plumbing and zone controls on HVAC. The electrical is easier to distribute.

If you commit to doing it the right way, and tear it down to the structure (but leave the facade alone), it's not terribly difficult.

The problem is that the building owners want to do it cheap, and it won't be cheap. It will be more economical in the long run than fully vacant building though.

If it truly is only an hour of someone's time, then I'd much rather they made that insignificant amount less profit, but did the work to make our experience better.

Maybe.

Iamdanno , 5 months ago to Technology in Middle school removes bathroom mirrors to stop kids from making TikToks

I think it's actually the ADA that requires them, now that I think about it, but I know in commercial buildings there are requirements for size and location of mirrors in bathrooms (maybe only if you choose to install them).

Iamdanno , 5 months ago to Technology in Middle school removes bathroom mirrors to stop kids from making TikToks

How do they do that? IIRC, mirrors are required per building codes?
