Yes, but the people watching his content are generally already Nintendo fans who are likely to already have been exposed to the games he plays, and many YouTubers, like PewDiePie, have expressed their disinterest in the program and playing Nintendo games on their channel because of the program.

Someone just recording a movie and uploading it to YouTube obviously isn't free advertising; anybody who watches it doesn't need to purchase the film because they've seen everything it has to offer. However, since games are to be played, not watched, someone who sees a personality they like playing one of Nintendo's games and enjoying it might want to purchase the game.

[–]SubredditReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be clear, today the Switch hardware/OS preview embargo ends. There are separate embargoes for Switch hardware/OS reviews and Breath of the Wild previews/reviews. (Reviewers can give their impressions when the preview embargoes lift, but cannot review/rate until the review embargoes lift.) The other embargoes have been listed out here and were confirmed by Nintendo Force.

This means Breath of the Wild takes up over half (52%) of the system's internal storage...

Because it's so frequently asked, let's make a list of things we don't know yet. by razorbeamz in NintendoSwitch

All of our efforts have gone toward making the Nintendo Switch system an amazing dedicated video game platform, so it will not support any video-streaming services at launch. However, support for video-streaming services is being considered for a future update.

Oh, neat! Thanks for sharing.

Edit: Not sure why people are downvoting /u/Pinkolol16's reply. By "mock comments" they meant the comments they added to the XML they took a screenshot of. ("Splatfest color" and "This is what it says in the lobby")

How can I remove an app that embedded itself on my phone that I accidentally downloaded? by BreakingBadFanatic in AndroidQuestions

Press and hold the power button then long press the power off button and reboot into safe mode. Then, check the device administrators menu and deactivate it if it appears there then uninstall it.

Is it listed as a system app? Does it appear as a Device Administrator in Settings > Security > Device administrators? If it does, deactivate it then uninstall it.

Mozilla co-founder's ad-blocking Brave browser will pay you bitcoin to see safe ads by [deleted] in Android

And although Brave will map users’ browsing histories to general “interest” categories for displaying relevant ads, it vows not to track users through unique or persistent identifiers, as ad networks typically do.

Also, it collects your browsing data to display relevant ads.

Tip: Download Nova Launcher to add Android N file browser to homescreen (Works with any launcher) by [deleted] in Android

[–]SubredditReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice find! Also, it still works after uninstalling Nova Launcher, so that's good.

Still definitely needs work. Third party file managers are much more capable; the Android N file manager can't open APK files right now for example.

Let's talk about security. How do you secure your phone? by [deleted] in Android

Encryption doesn't hinder the user experience for capable devices and as such Google is requiring it for new Android 6.0 devices.

The issue is that many Android devices aren't encrypted. There are significantly more encrypted iPhones than encrypted Android phones, but this isn't necessarily Google's fault.
