You either uninstalled all UWP apps, are on LTSB or something messed up during install.

I've always thought that that the snipping tool is pretty terrible because although it theoretically allows you to do basic annotations but (as far as I know) it doesn't have undo. I don't know why they've never bothered to just add undo to it. It's really annoying having to take another screenshot if you add a highlight and then want to change it.

way late but why the gently caress would you want Netflix on a switch? you literally already own a million better devices to play videos. Nintendo succeeds cycle after cycle because they stick to their core competency (selling you accessories) and whizzbangs like video apps are very not that

I have a 32gb iPad and a switch with a 256gb memory card in it, a switch version might come in handy if I want to dl a bunch of shows before I go on a trip or whatever :shrug:

you're incredibly late because the 3ds has had these apps for years and the switch has had a hulu app basically since launch. also nintendo isn't forgoing selling you poo poo because there's a netflix app, what sort of backwards thought process is that? the primary demographic for the switch is kids, it might be useful for parents to have the device that the kid is glued to also does shows.

Is netflix seriously going to bother developing an app for the switch itself considering what a pain it probably is to develop for compared to other platforms since it's Nintendo?

they probably will. I doubt they saw many users from the other Nintendo consoles, so why would they spend the effort here

the wii had faster adoption of netflix watchers than the 360 my dude and they're only shutting down access to it next year despite the wii being 12 years old

also what effort? it's a tablet with a mobile processor, not some hacked together abomination like the ps3

which is fine because 4k is for chumps and nintendo knows that

however i will grant that netflix might be dumb enough to ignore a massively growing market out of apathy in keeping with their terrible business decisions

windows server 1809 (semi-annual channel) is available in visual studio subscriptions (MSDN) but the provided product key doesn't work. it lists the same key as for 1803 which is what you'd kinda expect but apparently it's a "server 2016" key and 1809 is "server 2019" so it doesn't work.

basically microsoft hosed up pivoting to this new service channel arrangement much like everything else they've done in recent memory
