The military does tons of stuff over public networks, the key is using vetted hardware and their own VPN and communication tools which allows complete control over recipients.

No random unaudited consumer devices which might have various exploits known to outsiders, which might fall into the hands of spies, and which DEFINITELY does not have any active security monitoring.

Wrong hardware!

The encryption still works roughly the same, the difference is mostly visible metadata.

Multiple bundles of encrypted message + decryption key & recipient tag for 1 person, or one bundle of the encrypted message and then keys for multiple people & recipients which the server can separate out when relaying the message

(message keys are encrypted to each recipient’s keypair*)

*simplified because I can’t be bothered to explain how deniability is implemented. Just look up the Signal protocol’s ratchet

It explicitly mentions that switch 1 game cards works, without an asterisk. Wouldn’t be nice to state that and then don’t support the games without paying extra. The only thing they’ve stated on that is the compatibility thing from the prior link, and that specific games have paid upgrades but don’t need payments to play the original version.

(unless the upgrades are equivalent to a big DLC with significant content addons that’s pretty greedy, IMHO, but it’s still not required to play 🤷)

The Nintendo Switch™ 2 Edition of a game is a bundle that includes the original game and its upgrade pack,

Games that ran at 1080p in docked mode should be able to do that on Switch 2, presumably the console could be smart enough to run the game at that resolution even in portable mode.

Otherwise, that definitely depends on the game engine and game programming. Not every game can handle arbitrary resolution changes.

It’s all ARM with hardware from the same OEM.

Yes there’s a lot of big differences, but Nintendo certainly demanded backwards compatibility from nVidia, so any major CPU and GPU instructions which games are dependent on are certainly either still implemented or emulated properly.

They’re still in the testing process for compatibility. Any change can break assumptions the developer made, even if it’s just tiny, so some games might need patches, but so far that’s very few games.

There’s a difference between switch 2 edition (upgraded versions) and original switch 1 versions. It can run both, you don’t need the upgrade (unless you want the newer features).

Norway is richer on average though. Let’s see how sales go after the initial introduction

Not, but I’d do 75*10 + 75*4, then subtract the extra.

The LLM method of doing it with multiple numbers without proper interpolation though makes it extra weird

The Nordic prices are ridiculous though. It’s the equivalent of adding ~200 euro to the regular European price. I bet lots of people here are going to import from other EU countries

It’s not really. Worldwide population is still growing. Countries which are simultaneously highly developed and not incentivizing child birth have low birth rates.
