What effects does it have on the switch using 2ghz long term? Is it better on handheld mode or docked? I'm very skeptical trying this out, though I want to play wind water portable mode lol please someone answer this for me :)

Using 2ghz in handheld mode will degrade your battery faster in the long term. Overclocking is of course optional but without it you would be seeing a performance decrease, can't attest to how much that affects game play.

Did someone manage to get the usb OTG working without the dock?
On the 5V rail there are 0.34V, that made me think that it was not outputting power, i tried a powered usb hub, but still no detection by the system.

I dont believe it's been enabled currently. Since in sxos you can use otg for externals. Aswell as being able to use those dongles that let you use other controllers

I just got a switch with trinket m0 in it off of ebay. It was bricked as in OFW would not ever boot up due to the seller's choi downgrade from 7.0.1 to 5.1
I did testing and stuff. I took my sd card from my other switch and guess what... It did booted up ubuntu nicely.....
actually, It is great tool to rule out any hardware issues.

I reflashed the mod chip then setup autoboot to just boot ubuntu :)

Hey, heads up... I have an official nintendo 128gb MicroSD and if you try flashing the image it apparently doesn't seem to work. I had to use my old 3DS' 16gb and it worked just fine. If anyone knows why the 128gb doesn't work, please tell me. (The SD is real, not fake)
