This patch follows a recent white hat submission. They are bringing down an iron fist on any holes.

3.0.1 still has a chance. While the bug that was patched in 3.0.1 was definitely the biggest, there are many other bugs in 3.0.1, with people trying to develop bigger exploits for it

In general, I don't think it matters. 3.0.1 is a waste of time as most of the scene has already splintered on <3.0.0, where the scene will be, or over, where the scene won't be, as the tools and entryways won't be the same nor will it be anywhere as easy as <3.0.0.

The early exploit of smhax is going to pigeonhole the Switch into a PS3-like scene, and the white hat submissions will make anything after that a pointless pursuit as the number of compromised systems available will be difficult to track or even find, and no one will want to develop entirely new tools/points of entry on ever changing workings.

Actually a lot of people still missed out because the warning didn't come out in time except for "do not update" the fact that 3.0.0 had a major exploit wasn't known until a few weeks after.

But 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 will be very different, and, again, few will want to work on 3.0.1's bugs when they already have <3.0.0 access. Anything that comes from 3.0.1 will potentially be massively delayed if it ever materializes.

Um, people were saying not to update like... months prior.

Did you not read? i was talking about the warning for the exploit found in 3.0.0, people always tell you not to update but some will take that risk if nothing big is announced.
I do read. Don't be condescending. It's unbecoming. And dickish.

And yes, they said don't update to 3.01 and they gave the warning months previously, stating that they found something big in 3.00.
