Nintendo, Ticked by Zelda Leaks, Does a DMCA Run on Switch Emulation Tools
Nintendo’s takedown request (RTF file) notes that the Switch contains “multiple technological protection measures” that allow the Switch to play only “legitimate Nintendo video game files.” Lockpick tools, combined with a modified Switch, let users grab the cryptographic keys from their own Switch and use them on “systems without Nintendo’s Console TPMs” to play “pirated versions of Nintendo’s copyright-protected game software.” GitHub typically allows repositories with DMCA strikes filed against them to remain open while their maintainers argue their case. Still, it was an effective move. Seeing Nintendo’s move on Lockpick, a popular Switch emulator on Android, Skyline, called it quits over the weekend, at least as a public-facing tool you can easily download to your phone. In a Discord post (since removed, along with the Discord itself), developer “Mark” wrote that “the risks associated with a potential legal case are too high for us to ignore, and we cannot continue knowing that we may be in violation of copyright law.”

Erik ten Hag insists he DOES want David de Gea to stay despite latest blunder as HORROR stat shows Man Utd keeper’s woes
ERIK TEN HAG refused to stick the boot into calamity keeper David de Gea after his horrendous mistake condemned Manchester United to their ninth League defeat of the season.
The 32-year-old Spanish international has now committed nine errors which have led directly to goals over the past two seasons – more than any other top flight keeper.
But boss ten Hag insisted: “We have the most clean sheets in the Premier League and we wouldn’t be in this position without him.
“Mistakes happen but he has my full belief and I have no concerns about him. We want him to stay and extend his contract.”
The result leaves United just one point ahead of firth-placed Liverpool, although they still have a game in hand on Jurgen Klopp’s men.
And ten Hag said: “Nothing changes. We could have made it easier with a result but we need three wins in four games and everything is still in our hands.
“We started well, created chances and dictated the game but then just like at Brighton in midweek one individual mistake cost us.
“We have to learn to stay calm and composed. We had some chances but we have to create more.
“Now, for the first time since Christmas, we have a full week to reset, reload and get the energy back to keep going.

“We can’t feel sorry for ourselves. What we need is for everyone to stick together, for individuals to take responsibility and if we play as a team we will get the points we need.”
Former United defender Rio Ferdinand said: “De Gea has made a mistake today but that’s not the area I question him. Is he good enough a footballer to play for Manchester United?”
But captain Bruno Fernandes said: “We don’t need to focus on that mistake. He’s saved us so many times.”

What does Queen Consort mean?
QUEEN Consort Camilla will officially have a new title at King Charles III’s coronation on May 6.
The invitations for the upcoming coronation revealed Camilla Parker-Bowles’ new name.

What does Queen Consort mean?
The title of Queen Consort is given to the wife of a ruling king.
Queen Consorts can become queen dowagers or queen mothers at the passing of the King.
They can also be given the title of Queen Regent if the heir to the throne is too young to be crowned.
When Charles and Camilla married in 2005, it was announced that it was intended for the Duchess of Cornwall to be given the new title of Princess Consort.
Camilla rejected the title of Princess of Wales in order to avoid backlash as that was Diana’s title in life and was still known as such after her death.
But in February 2022, the Queen expressed her wish that Camilla should be known as Queen Consort.
In April 2023, Buckingham Palace confirmed that Camilla will be known as Queen after the coronation of King Charles.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, a senior royal aide said: “It made sense to refer to her Majesty as The Queen Consort in the early months of His Majesty’s reign, to distinguish from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
“Queen Camilla is the appropriate title to set against King Charles on the invitation.
“The Coronation is an appropriate time to start using ‘Queen Camilla’ in an official capacity. All former Queen consorts have been known as Queen plus their first name.”
King Charles and Camilla will be crowned on May 6, 2023.
What is the difference between Queen and Queen Consort?
Throughout British history, the husband or wife of the monarch is known as the consort, a position that has no constitutional role but carries significant prestige.
A queen consort is the wife of a reigning king and usually shares her spouse’s social rank and status
Who has been a Queen Consort?
Queen Elizabeth (1936 – 1952)

Queen Elizabeth was consort to King George VI until his death in 1952, ruling for 16 years.
The majority of her life was spent as the Queen Mother to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, until her death at the age of 101.
Queen Mary (1910-1936)
After becoming Queen Consort in 1910, Queen Mary was beside her husband, King George V, for 26 years before he died in January 1936.
She held the title of Queen Mother to King George VI after the abdication of King Edward VIII in December 1936.
Queen Charlotte (1761-1818)
Married to King George III on September 8, 1761, Queen Charlotte is the longest reigning Queen Consort.
She held her title for 57 years until her death in 1818 and maintained a close friendship with another Queen Consort, Marie Antoinette.
Most notably Queen Charlotte was an amateur botanist who helped expand Kew Gardens and also helped bring Christmas trees to the UK.
Catherine Parr (1543 – 1547)
The final wife of King Henry VIII, who married him in 1543, was Queen Consort until his death.
As King Edward VI was not yet old enough to rule, Catherine Parr was given the queen dowager title but only lived for another year.
Catherine Howard (1540 – 1542)
King Henry VIII’s fifth wife, Catherine Howard came to the throne in 1540.
His previous wife Anne of Cleeves was never formally crowned as the marriage was annulled within six months.
After this Catherine Howard married the King but this only lasted two years because she was accused of adultery and beheaded in 1542.
Jane Seymour (1536 – 1537)
Both a maid-of-honour to Catherine of Aragon and a lady-in-waiting to Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour was the only wife to provide King Henry VIII with a male heir.
Her reign only lasted one year as she died 12 days after giving birth.
Anne Boleyn (1533- 1536)
Following his divorce, Anne Boleyn married King Henry VIII in 1533.
She was why he broke from the Catholic Church as the pope would not grant him an annulment from his first marriage.
Anne Boleyn was the first wife of Henry to be beheaded, only three years after being crowned.
Catherine of Aragon (1509 – 1533)
As the first wife of King Henry VIII, Catherine of Aragon came to the throne in 1509.
Catherine was one of only three queens to survive Henry, as he divorced her in 1533 after she failed to provide him with a male heir to the throne.
Kate, Duchess of Cambridge is also expected to be known as Queen Consort when her husband Prince William becomes king.
What does a Queen Consort do?
The role of a Queen Consort can be varied depending on the needs of the country and the King.
It is believed that Camilla’s role will be similar to that of the late Prince Philip to provide companionship and support to King Charles.
She will have little political or military power but will have the status and formalities of any other queen.
This is different from Queen Elizabeth II’s title, which is Queen Regnant but both are called the Queen.
