If you rotate your phone and view in landscape mode the problem goes away, on iPhone at least. Not ideal but at least it’s something.

Apologies if this has been posted already. Does anyone know what "well-fortified" means, specifically?

From the AOUSD website: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/press/aousd-quotes

It’s so great to see the many places listed here. It compels me to mention The Museum of Arts and Digital Entertainment, based in Oakland CA, in case any Bay Area folks are interested in such places: https://www.themade.org/

Are ferroelectric diodes more sensitive to external tampering than a “typical” memory circuit? As in, could a device like this be more easily “jammed” by a strong external electromagnetic source? That’s where my head went when reading about this circuit, but maybe it’s no less sensitive than “typical” circuitry?

First and foremost- this content was stolen. You haven’t paid for it. If you saw a stolen car left on the side of the road, would to take it for a joyride?

Secondly, do you think watching these these videos is making anyone at rockstar fired up? Do you think they like this? I believe that almost all of them are deeply saddened by this. Should we celebrate and respect people’s work by making them feel awful?

Lastly I’m not telling anyone what to do. I’m just merely pointing out that this content is not soul-less. It’s built on the backs of people who did not willingly share this material. I think it’s awesome if people are curious, but I think to is incredible disrespectful to execute that curiosity by forcefully stealing something.

I’d say this is less “pulling back the curtain” and more brazen theft. But go off.

Please don’t click these links or share these videos. As a member of the film/animation industry, hearing about leaks like this absolutely hits me. Please think of the hundreds of artists and programmers who have worked countless hours on this game. They are all heartbroken right now. We can all honor their hard work by not watching this leaked content. Wait til they finish.

Looks really cool. Too bad it’s not out in time for christmas. The thing would sell like crazy this year.

What I find most notable in the video is their nod to competitive-gaming / esports, which Nintendo has such a long history of shunning/disrespecting/mis-understanding. Maybe they’re finally trying to atone for the debacle around the whole Smash scene? (Then again, maybe it’s just the marketing people who put this video together thought that would be fun to add and have no idea about Nintendo’s history here.)
