For those who are asking this question and want homebrew (and possibly cfw) STAY ON 3.0.0 Yes its going to be painful to a degree, but several devs have now said that 3.0.1 patches some sort of exploit not known to the public. And if its as big as it's made out to be, then don't update. If you can wait several months without a switch, then you should wait. Plus someone is bound to come up with some sort of hotfix for wifi play/eshop. If you honestly want to update go ahead, I just highly advice against doing so.

fucking hell my roommate just updated my switch to play sploon2
There isn't going to be any homebrew for a long time and it's going to take even longer before we have piracy, no point in staying offline for possibly years IMO, might as well have waited with buying a Switch then.

So if i keep my Switch at 3.01, eventually they will find an exploit for that?

Thanks to that firmware nagging, it updated, so I got angry and put it back in the box and yes I did have it so it wouldn't automatically update but it did it, plus the exploit uses a modified webkit hack, so they will likely find a way or another exploit.

This time I activated airplane mode and disabled online and put it in the box for when 3.01 is hacked, it's better that way since it won't download the update and I won't accidentally update.

I'm more known in the 3DS scene, but I don't do anything major there either. I'm mostly known for the Luma3DS nightly site, and I guess UnbanMii stuff now?

Either way, I was just repeating what Daeken said for people not in RS:

Read the change log on switchbrew, all keys were changed. They don't have access to 3.0.1 they would have to decrypt it from scratch again. Stay on 3.0 if you want an exploit.

Good luck keeping your system on old firmware for a whole year or maybe more. Most of you think that haXxorZ will be released in the next coming weeks lol.

Lol at all of you

i personally will always update up until there is a big warning everywhere not to update the switch anymore, hinting at us not to update as there is a possible homebrew/hax sort of thing coming.

I just bought a new switch and it comes in tomorrow. More than likely it is on firmware 1.0? So what would someone do in my situation. stay in 1.0 or update to 3.0.1 and wait/hope for the best. please advice :unsure:

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Kodi repost are still pretty popular
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    oh you mean the 3rd party apps on Kodi, yea i know what you mean, yea there are still a few cool ones, in fact watched the new planet of the apes movie other night w wifey thru one, was good pic surprisingly, not a cam
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
