The 500 GB drives you are talking about are mechanical. You don’t put a mechanical drive in a portable device as they are loud and if you drop it you might damage them. Nintendo are using a solid state drive in the switch probably one similar to those found in phones and tablets. These are far more expensive for…

Probably the same way apple, samsung etc sell the same size phone with different amounts of storage. Unless they are at the absolute maximum for the size of the drive (which seems incredibly unlikely) they probably could technically change the drive to one that’s bigger. I don’t think they should but they could.

The SD cards are cheaper than $100 by quite a lot. Also Nintendo will probably say on the box

That’s better than sonys. With an 128GB card not even being an option and a 16 GB card with a 21% discount only just being cheaper.

AFAIK the New Nintendo 3DS didn’t come with a charger in the box although i might be wrong.

Sandisk, Toshiba and any other established companies range are usually a safe bet.

Fairly sure they used magnetic hard drives, I don’t know much about apple so I could be wrong.

Wouldn’t really say it’s completely false, They should probably have said

Being pedantic but Flash Memory is Solid State. NAND is used in any type of high capacity storage from Compact flash onwards so if Nintendo choose to use a cart with Read/Write access it’ll use NAND Flash.

The Internal Is NAND flash, they haven’t specified the speed.

Unlikely they’ll probably just partner with a well established storage manufacturer (Sandisk, Samsung or Toshiba probably) add some markup and claim it’s a unique thing. It isn’t perfect but is better than sonys obsession with propriety formats. 

This isn’t Jalopnik it’s a sub blog: Foxtrot Alpha they report on the military and therefore are going to be political.

Good job it’s on foxtrot alpha then.

It seems silly to me as well but it isn’t surprising many people don’t think he should’ve done it. Also he made some of the weakest excuses up for why.

First of all no one is fooled by you saying fcuked up instead of fucked up. If you’re going to swear don’t censor GMG don’t mind.

It may be a shit joke but race needs a good joke to not come off as either incredibly racist or just not funny. This seems to fall into the racist category rather than the not funny one. 

The thing is you can make ironic bigotry. Many comedians (at least in the UK) make jokes on a par if not worse than this in terms of content. They however know how to make it clear that it is a joke and also tend to have a more mature audience that’d know it’s a joke from the very start even, in most cases, out of…

Words have always scared us. I know this is a little extreme but that is one of the main reasons terrorism can work outside of a very small community.

I completely agree with you it isn’t like stand ups aren’t able to make jokes about religion (including Judaism) or race. Jimmy Carr, Frankie Boyle and Ricky Gervais are just some examples. However their job is to make jokes and they aren’t performing to such an impressionable target audience.
