Yeah I read this article on another post, I'm not sure that's the whole story.
From what I remember, he was running a few "shops". These don't actually sell games, but they can be accessed by a piece of homebrew software on the switch, and then you connect to the "shop" to download games directly to the device - this was done instead of manually copying install files to the SD card, installing, and then deleting the original files to save space; or instead of installing over USB. The shops were much easier, not least because removing the SD card to copy games from a PC required a reboot, and rebooting an OG hacked Switch could be kind of a pain.
I think the "sales" he did were actually just donations that got you early access to titles that weren't widely available yet. However, it's generally when you start taking money for these things that the shit hits the fan and the hammer comes down.
He didn't just use the product he paid for in a way that doesn't hurt anybody, he sold pirated Nintendo Switch games. This is literally at the start of the article.
It then becomes very easy to say he took revenue from Nintendo (the "they wouldn't have bought it if it cost money" argument doesn't apply), but above all selling pirated material is a shitty thing to do.
Israel are refusing to allow residents to return to the north and deeming anyone who still lives there a militant - on top of blocking aid. Famine is all but certain.
Apparently it wasn't so much that they don't exist, but that people are generally stupid and if inflation spikes during your term you're going to get the blame for it - even if your actions significantly limit inflation compared to the rest of the world.
Every government that was in power during the inflation rise and had an election this year lost voter share.
In most other countries outside the US they are forced to be honest. It's still an idealised version, but you wouldn't be able to get away with showing double meat in Europe.
Yeah exactly. CNBC aren't really twisting anything here, and they even mention the WaPo article in the 2nd bullet point at the top.
If there's anyone worth looking at over the release of this story it's WaPo. One could reasonably assume that Bezos wanted this story published, as Musk is a big rival. However at the same time they've just announced that they won't endorse anyone for this election for the first time in decades, which at best could be seen as hedging their bets in case of a Trump presidency but at worst be seen as pandering to Trump.
Pretty sure this podcast stays on topic throughout. There's a chunk of background, of course, because it basically has to explain the joke every time so the discussion can happen.
Homer didn't deny anything, he wasn't even involved in that decision. He even put in a good word for her. However she basically lied when she was asked about it and that dug her in deeper, also leaving the post up didn't help.
NASA basically wanted her to not draw controversy to the agency over social media, per their rules, and they normally have a reasonable amount of leeway. But there were a couple concerning things during the process, mistakes she made (that she has probably since grown from) that led to NASA passing on her internship.
