No, but it's at Nintendo's discretion how much they offer per vulnerability.

I don't think many people will jump at the chance at revealing potentially homebrew enabling exploits for a paltry $100 reward.
If they upped the bounty it might be more appealing to cash in.

Now we'll see who is willing to pay more than Nintendo for the exploits.

^^ I'm thinking that something minor will get the 100 dollars. Something that gets you root level access on the system is more likely to get the 20k.

Sony's been a bit too gung-ho on piracy sometimes imo, I'm sure it simplifies their relations with publishers though. I hope Nintendo figures out a reasonable approach that doesn't compromise my right to gently caress up my hardware too much

No, the amfilm glass protector held on strong until I ripped it off to send my switch to. Nintendo.

Has anyone that doesn't use a screen protector had the screen lift problem? I saw a bunch of people complaining about it on reddit and it seemed to be only people with screen protectors.

Mine is kinda doing the same. The right side has a very noticeable lip. Guess I'll be sending like everything to Nintendo now.

Mine had already developed the lip by the time I put a screen protector on like a week later. It may have been like that from day one, I dunno, I didn't notice until I was applying the screen protector and realized huh, the right side of the screen isn't flush like the left side is...

Opened my pro controller that I bought at Best Buy yesterday. I realized one of the clear stickers sealing it was cut open and the other looked like it had been put back onto the box. The control is there, a little dirty and it DOESN'T have the charging cord I need to pair it. Someone put in a different usb cord that doesn't fit, stole the charge cord, and returned it. Even better, I don't have time to go to Best Buy today and it was the last one in stock. Returning it means I can't get another but I'm going to have to.

So after the DQ11 event people asked SE about the Switch version and the answer seemed oddly worded like there might be an NDA about the game. Here's the quote:

It is still planned but no announcements today. Whether it launches together on the same day as PS4 and 3DS or not we cannot say today

Given the other two versions launch in three months it would be really odd if they truly didn't know if the Switch version would launch at the same time

Sorry if this has already been answered in the thread but if I buy downloadable copies of games then my SD card dies do I lose all the games on it or can they be re-downloaded. Similarly if my switch dies and I get a new one will all my games be stuck on the old switch?

Re: The screen protector/screen lift thing. The glass screen protector is a fraction of a millimeter thick. I suppose when this hits the rubber thing in the dock, it puts more stress on the screen adhesive than normal and causes it to fail. I don't know. That would suck, but the thickness being slightly out of whack causing the screen to lift up is a bad design flaw.

Sounds like someone bought the controller, decided they didn't want it, didn't know which of their USB cables came with it so they threw some random cable they had and took it back to the store. Sucks that whoever did the return didn't notice that the box was already opened.

You can redownload whenever you want. You could download the game, swap SD cards and download the game again. It only lets you play it if it is associated with your account.

It's even worse when you realize when Best Buy sells previously opened products, it's supposed to be at a discount. They sold it at full price.

How does Nintendo offering a security vulnerability bounty program (like just about any other big software or hardware company) make them terrible at security?

Funny enough after Nintendo of Japan put out the article announcing the release date for the 3DS version, they had a mention of the Switch version in development. A few hours later they completely scrubbed any mention of Switch from the article. Bit of a news story right now in Japanese gaming news.
