Wow, this is pretty strict. If you are working from home, don't let your children or partner even see it. > You must ensure that unauthorized persons (including any family, friends, roommates or household employees) do not access, view, handle, or use the DK.

I think this is just to catch the potential loophole of a roommate trying it out and blogging about their experience. If that happens then this clause means you are in contract breach.

Pretty common for developer kits though. Its the same deal for previous developer kits, and consoles etc... Its an extension of the NDA to everyone around you, but since you can't bind them to an NDA, you say that the person who is bound to it is on the hook for transitive breaches of the NDA

They are treating this as a major game console sdk with all the NDA's that come with them.

It's unlikely to be seeded to indie devs working from home. Even massive companies are only going to get 1 or 2, and those are going to be locked in a room in the office.

  If it's like the Apple Silicon dev kit, this is not true. Everybody got it, big and small.

    This is going to be nothing like the Apple Silicon dev kit bro. They're expecting to be able to manufacture about 250,000-350,000 a year. They need those for Apple Stores, their own internal development, and of course customers. This is probably going to be more like 1,000 dev kits or less that go out.

Reminds me of the poor Apple engineer who got fired after his daughter leaked a new iPhone on YouTube after visiting him at work for lunch one day. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-41801704 https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-41801704
