Anticipating a plastic band around Drake for wireless antennasRe: Switch body.
"For entertainment purposes only" - MoneyDJ has consistently linked Switch's launch to Hongzhun's manufacture of metal cases.
Yes, I can't imagine them dropping a random YouTube trailer out of the blue.
It's not the cheapest material, so I'm not sure. It's something on the order of 1/3 lighter than aluminum, though.Are there existing handhelds with magnesium body? (for my own reference, curious what it might look like too)
Honestly that could look GOOD.Anticipating a plastic band around Drake for wireless antennas
I think it’s all about perception. If they only get 20% performance lift that’s still a thing. It’s a thing you market what you did to get there. You don’t mention that number of course, probably no numbers, but you market the tech… buzz words for the metal case, cooling system, dock with a fan, it’s HIGH TECH BABY, now look at this trailer… that looks as good as a PS5 right? Right? But wait, there’s more! It’s still a switch! OMG right? Ya. You want this hot piece of tech. Mmmm look at this rendering of the inside of our machine… oooh that big ol heat sink. Ya you like that don’t you.The end result of letting it rip here is probably the difference between using DLSS to do 1080->4K, or being able to use DLSS to do 1280->4K. A relatively small difference that's still going to leave it in the same general spot relative to Switch and PS5 on either side.
If we want to consider weight and heat distribution, there is already a console to think about.It's not the cheapest material, so I'm not sure. It's something on the order of 1/3 lighter than aluminum, though.
Tell that to OLED Model. Using a metal back COULD decrease complexity in other areas, meaning they could reduce weight.The Switch doesn’t need to be heavier than it is. A metal body makes no sense.
Reddit man replied. He said he got the response from the band themselves after asking via Instagram when he asked why their album Stiff got taken down from Spotify. He says he got his answers about 2 weeks ago.Saw a reddit comment on gamingleaksandrumours about the trailer being taken down. It turns out the band, White Denim, who made the song actually has been having a lot of trouble when it comes to the rights and licensing their own music. Multiple videos of theirs apparently have been removed from YouTube because of this and some albums were pulled from Spotify temporarily. This is all due to the band not actually owning the masters of their own music, and their publisher got bought out a few months back. The law just doesn't know who owns the rights to the music anymore. So, assuming this is true, I think that settles it. It's not that Nintendo wanted to take down the trailer, it's that the rights issue is so messy that Nintendo couldn't navigate it in time to extend the licensing.
Important edit: @Paraspikey did some more digging around and couldn't find anything to back up this claim. For now, don't take this is confirmed, but it doesn't mean it's not a licensing problem, either. Licensing is weird, this comment from Reddit just seems to be speculation as well. I'll come back and update this if I can find anymore information.

Yes, this will solve itself in a matter of days, if not the next 48 hours.Imminent?
Even if what the band said is true, it still doesn't reconcile with the fact that Twitter and FB vids hasn't been taken down. Enough time has passed, the "they are slow to react on Twitter and FB" argument no longer seem plausible.Reddit man replied.

A metal body increases heat dissipation. It's not just metal for the sake of being metal, it's part of the cooling system of the device.The Switch doesn’t need to be heavier than it is. A metal body makes no sense.
He said he got the answer two months ago via an Instagram DM. He also said it a month ago on a thread he created. 2 weeks ago, Stiff was put back up, he had no reason to ask at that point for the supposed third time.Reddit man replied.

Oh well the guy told me 2 weeks ago when I asked.He said he got the answer two months ago via an Instagram DM. He also said it a month ago on a thread he created. 2 weeks ago, Stiff was put back up, he had no reason to ask at that point for the supposed third time.
His claim about it being related to the "producer being bought out" was first made 2 months ago and is not true. Universal does not own the publishing rights to Stiff and any of the songs in it. Publishing is owned by Downtown Records. Again, you can see the copyright on the Stiff Spotify playlist. Downtown Records is fully independent and has not been bought out by anyone. Universal has 0 input in any of its decisions.
(Stiff Spotify)
What most likely happened is that he didn't have direct contact with the publisher to ask why it was removed. The publisher clearly realized their mistake, and now it's back up. Once again, it was only removed on Spotify, and the fact it's back up with none of the copyright changed should prove that it was mostly likely an accident somebody didn't realize they made before the person the Redditor DM'd got in contact with somebody at Downtown Records to put it back up. If there were any complications with rights, the publisher would remove it from all platforms, and the same goes for Nintendo and taking down the Switch video. It's still up on Twitter and Facebook, yet it's only gone from YouTube. If licensing ran out, then they would want to make sure it's gone from all platforms to 100% avoid any legal conflict. It seems very unlikely that they would forget to do such a thing, considering they do dig deep for stuff they want to remove. They took down, like, 6,000 fan-games on Gamejolt one time, lol.
I have no idea why anybody would say Universal owned the rights to publishing and sold it to somebody else, and I'm not entirely sure why this person is convinced that is true. That is not the case. Downtown has owned publishing rights since 2016, when Stiff was released. Once again, look at the copyright on Spotify.
I gotta ask ... does it makes podcasters feel a bit down if something about the topic happens close after having finished recording an episode? (Assuming the next episode does indeed feature ReDraketed stuff here.)
Like ... "Ah shit ... we've JUST finished and then this happens..."?
We use Streamlabs, which is linked in the YT description.nate, I have been hearing your podcSt for sometime now and I find it pretty relaxing. I just wish two changes: 1) use some soft music on the background and 2) be more clear about how can I participate and donate some cash. Do you have a site? Can you create a official thread in famibords or installbase about your podcast where I can put some questions?
Thanks! Ow, I love MVG. I always think of him as a character of Metal Gear Solid and I don’t know why.
This is why I noped out. It gets complicated and full of the old legal chestnut of "it depends".I don't think that's true. If it's purely a rights issue, then the difference would have to be something along the lines of past-dated posts on social media being okay while a "live" video on a video streaming site isn't okay. And I could certainly believe that it would be something that convoluted where none of us could guess the specifics. But it's definitely not an oversight or a delayed reaction.
its a nintendo thingHence @oldpuck's very wise statement that you cannot logic your way into if this is or is not a rights thing, an SEO thing, or a marketing thing.
Not Dakhil, but... in BC mode, the Tensor Cores will be idle and the GPU will have A LOT of raw power to spare which could be used for doing the best upscale they can get without requiring games to be updated.But why? Other than for the YouTube app.
This is now my 100% legal opinion.its a nintendo thing
Why did you take down the video?its a nintendo thing
I suggested that too earlier (I recall YT having autodetecting for copyrighted material too). However, I was told by @lemonfresh when a copyright strike occurs, YT removes the video, rather than making the video go privated.Youtube makes it REALLY easy for rights holders to issue copyright strikes or take monetization away if you use copyrighted material in your videos, and provides automated tools to do so.
Actually, ya I think they wouldn't mind their devices having that type of perception. Not at all. I'd personally love to see Nintendo go more that route too, at least with hardware. I've been very bummed they waited 7 years to put out a more powerful machine. I'd like to see them iterate on the scale of every 2 to 3 years. /shrugYeah. What are Nintendo trying to be? Apple? /s
Yes, and to avoid the outcome of YT removing the video Nintendo could opt to make the video private before the strike occurs. Doing so would keep Nintendo in control and not have to deal with the YT restoral process once a rights issue is cleared.I suggested that too earlier (I recall YT having autodetecting for copyrighted material too).

The Nintendo Switch OLED has a magnesium alloy body, doesn't it?Are there existing handhelds with magnesium body? (for my own reference, curious what it might look like too)
Don't own an OLED, I would if I play in handheld mode but I play docked 99% of times.The Nintendo Switch OLED has a magnesium alloy body, doesn't it?

We'll be past 2000 pages by next March for sure.Even with the thread split, we're still edging close to 2000 pages. We're definitely hitting that before the reveal.(Even though I might have to have Beanos as my avatar for God knows how long )
Youtube is pretty awful at this things, i have seen cases of giving like 2 copyright strikes right away and being of the verge of a third one that could make the channel to be close, is why people are usually pretty careful with copyright in youtube when they care about the channels the own , is pretty easy for third person to copyright stuff without no one reviewing the claim is valid put the owner of the channel in problemsDoes the content owners on YT get warning/notification when a copyright strike claim is submitted? If so, I guess that makes sense for Nintendo to take proactive action for.
By November, you meanWe'll be past 2000 pages by next March for sure.
By the end of the month at the latest seems realistic.By November, you mean
Will you tell us the codename after it reveals?Alright. I give up. I'm going to the gym. If this thing reveals in the next hour, I guess I'll miss it

Will people still care about that after the reveal? I mean, I would, but I dunno about most people.Will you tell us the codename after it reveals?

I think anyone expecting this new Switch to consume the exact wattage as the og Switch isn't looking at the bigger picture.
Just look at Thraktor's last post and the clocks from that DLSS leak, we are probably expecting the gpu alone to consume at least 10W docked. That's pretty much the entire budget of what the og Switch ran with its more demanding games and actually I wouldn't be surprised if this thing cranks out 20W total while under load in docked mode.
A quick search turned up a Business Insider article that says it does, but I'm having a hard time finding any other sources that say anything beyond "metal" being in the structure.The Nintendo Switch OLED has a magnesium alloy body, doesn't it?
Hell yeah, I love a peek behind the curtain whether it matters anymore or notWill people still care about that after the reveal? I mean, I would, but I dunno about most people.
Reading both threads and it seems to me like even the reasonable people (that includes you, that excludes me) expect a little something in the coming days/weeks am I right ?Alright. I give up. I'm going to the gym. If this thing reveals in the next hour, I guess I'll miss it
Yeah, decided to check the Ask the Developer interview about the console, and they mention the stand being metal, but that's about it.A quick search turned up a Business Insider article that says it does, but I'm having a hard time finding any other sources that say anything beyond "metal" being in the structure.
