No, I'm trying to support those people trying to hack the Switch, and these people are the ones preventing it. I don't care about piracy, fuck that, but Nintendo should stop blocking every little fucking harmless homebrew that doesn't do anything bad for them.
They could make a simple filter. That's it. Oh, and I don't have a Netflix subscription.One thing leads to the other. It starts with a small webkit exploit and it keeps going up and up until eventually there is piracy.
And also, a flawed system is a bad system, Nintendo isn't incompetent, they're just fixing bugs and holes.
We make stability memes, but stability is a necessary thing, you wouldn't want those Switch games crashing would you?
Also, I'm pretty sure a Netflix app will come, your movies will be there.
Hulu, Netflix, Crackle, that stuff.

Quick question: Can we fucking stop this thread and these shitty 13 page long arguments?
Supposedly that was NOT Ryan, that was PokeAcer using Ryan's name to avoid getting shit for what he didlmao I was about to mention how familiar that name is, then I saw your comment
Yeah same law here. You can copy every movie, song and game as long as you yourself own it and don't make a profit of it.Funny enough about dumping roms in the EU. It's actually not specified how legal that is. There are two articles that fight each other about that. How it is to try your software with the rom and how legal it is to play the rom yourself dumped.
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/?uri=CELEX:32009L0024
Article 5.2 say it's perfectly fine.
Article 5.3 say it's perfectly fine to use a ROM to build emulators, hacks etc.
HOWEVER
Article 6 say that you aren't allowed to do anything that might hurt the original rights ownership or copyright like making cracks.
But if you need to decrypt/crack something to get your product to work. It's legal. (Perfect example is DeCSS, DVDJon made it since he couldn't play his DVD on Linux. Therefore removing the copyprotection was legal.)
EDIT: So no, you aren't allowed to download any ROMS since it's a violation against the right owner. But dumping them yourselves are fine as long as you own the original product.
How about you search up a thing called YouTube?Don't have a Netflix/Hulu/Crackle subscription? So what videos are you going to watch? The ones you pirated off torrents? And why not watch them on a regular tablet with a real media player or on your phone or get an AndroidTV device or AppleTV if that is your cup of tea. Your argument is so flawed it's hilarious.
Here's a cheap tablet for you to watch YouTube using an official app.How about you search up a thing called YouTube?
Except nearly every major technology company does this and it has proven successful over many years.And THAT's the stupid thing.
I just wanna hit that like button so hard till it breaks a hole through the GBATemp servers and creates a wormhole into parallel universes, so I can hit that like button there too and eventually make the universe collapse on itself. Well said!Well this derailed massively. Keep things on topic, kthnx.
By a business standpoint, the HackerONE program is quite a smart initiative by Nintendo. Money is a great driving force, and it helps their stuff stay secure. For the people upsetted by the fact that "muh switchhax won't happen cuz GREED", chill out, cuz A) the scene is more than determined enough to eventually get piracy, seeing as how the 3DS and Wii U were both inevitably cracked. and B) Nintendo isn't catering to the homebrew community. They DO NOT want that. So of course they're going to try all avenues to prevent it. It's common sense for them.
Yeah, the device is yours, Nintendo doesn't care if you use as a paperweight, a punching bag, soccer ball, target for shooting practice, have sex on top of it, smash it with a hammer, blow it up, etc. But once you start modifying their code/service to do something they didn't license you to do, they get upset. Want to be in the clear? Write your own OS and hardware drivers and HALs and replace the Switch stock software with your custom OS, etc. How? Flash it via hardware. Nintendo won't care then because none of the code is theirs.So basically.. TL;DR of this entire thread:
HackerOne is a good program for nintendo and experienced hackers who want to earn money, this keeps their device safe from piracy and stuff.
--Its a bad thing for the people who want Homebrew which brings me to the next point..
Once you buy an electronic device, it is YOURS completely, you "should" be able to do whatever you want with it, if you want to install linux on it, or transform it into a car GPS, you -should- be able to (providing the hardware can do it ofc..)
HOWEVER using software licensed by Nintendo (such as the Nintendo Switch operating system) falls under THEIR protection and does not bind law to allow you to do custom stuff with that, so it is NOT within our right to be able to make Homebrew software on it.
So in a way, this entire sub (Switch - Hacking & Homebrew) is all within the "black hat hackers" territory, the ones who DON'T want to be paid and basically aim for an open device.. Piracy is often a side effect of this (sad or not)..
