Except you did: “I think that Nintendo might use Microkernels [in the Switch] according to reverse engeneering finds shows their massive potential for constrained devices.” Maybe you hadn’t grokked that pjmlp was talking about the Switch (Nintendo’s current generation console) rather than the N64?

Execpt that you entered "[in the Switch]" from your own imagination and it's simply not there in my original comment. > Nintendo actual devices use microkernel based designs. We are way past the usual FUD against microkernels. Regarding pjmlp post, yes that's true, it wasn't clear (and still isn't) to me from his post, that he specifically speaks about the Switch when referring to "devices".

  > Execpt that you entered "[in the Switch]" from your own imagination and it's simply not there in my original comment. I know it’s not there in your original comment, that’s why it was inside square brackets. That’s a standard way of including context in a quote that otherwise would lack said context. You would see that in news papers and other publications. This isn’t some weird markup I’ve just invented and it’s definitely not a figment of my imagination because the post you were replying to was about the Switch. > Regarding pjmlp post, yes that's true, it wasn't clear (and still isn't) to me from his post, that he specifically speaks about the Switch when referring to "devices". You’re right, it wasn’t explicit. My apologies there.

      I wasn’t changing the meaning though. You were replying to a post about Switch. It’s not my fault you can’t grasp enough of this stuff to hold an intellectual discussion.
