This is a decent read concerning the effectiveness of the systems designed to prevent abuse.

if necessary

There isn't much overlap between the gaming community and the gaming journalist community.

And the ability to breathe.

I suspect it'd collect into a ring on the outside of the record.

At this point I can only reiterate that emulation and piracy are not the same thing. I really cannot bring myself to give a shit about the ethical concerns of TOTK, when the only way Nintendo (and you apparently) has of protecting their intellectual property is to vanish perfectly legal software, through the power of being a big financial threat. I've been using emulators to play games since the SNES and not once have I played a video game for which I don't own a copy (mainly because I've been around long enough to own all of the necessary hardware and game copies). The idea that emulation should be illegal or locked behind an arbitrary definition of console age/inactivity is completely laughable and would open the door for harassment of various open source projects at Nintendo's whims, they won't just stop at the WiiU era because you think that's appropriate. The actions of one emulators development team or community being particularly unethical or locking things behind a paywall or even supporting piracy in any form, even if they annoy me and the rest of the emulation community, should not affect the emulator itself or the legality of the code. I'm not going to blame them for making themselves an obvious target, just because people have a weird affection for one of the most litigious billion-dollar companies on the planet.

Why should that change the legality of the situation? Not to mention the Nintendo Switch is already quite old and emulator development (for the most part) hasn't lagged much behind a consoles release. Getting paid for emulator development also isn't illegal and I don't see why it should be. You're trying to conflate emulation and homebrew development with piracy which doesn't seem fair (and doesn't even require emulation, which you've illustrated with your Nintendo DS example).

This leads to the same kind of erosion of free and open source software as Google taking down projects like youtube-dl on GitHub. The emulator code contains nothing illegal, neither does the developer community, but that's exactly what Nintendo is targeting, because it's the most effective way to shut down any project. The way Nintendo handles these cases is the problem and they have never cared if something is actually completely legal if they want it gone enough, like modding, romhacking or uploading videos of gameplay. At this point they've burnt so much goodwill that I'm hoestly surprised there are still people left willing to insist that Nintendo only goes after actual piracy.

It's SA. That's been their main source of income for over a decade. I don't like it, but I can't really fault Charlie for it either when they publish information that isn't publically available.

Neither are other methods of air conditioning/circulation.

A steno machine is just a kind of chorded keyboard.

I think you're just being contrarian for no reason. The market for specialty input devices is much smaller compared to "normal" keyboards but it still exists and has become much more diverse over the past decade, with many new niche products being launched. This isn't even the first commercially available chorded keyboard. From the video, this particular iteration seems to be marketed towards mute people and I'm sure that they or people with other kinds of disabilities are probably glad to have any products at all available to aid them in daily tasks. Not every product or company needs to participate in a high volume market. Apparently, the chorded inputs can also be reprogrammed and it can work in a normal keyboard mode, which should make it more flexible than something designed purely for stenography.
