I'm sorry but why is he trying to crack SX OS?

To give us free piracy? I thought they are against piracy.

To screw with TX? Wouldn't the best way to do that is finish up Atomsphere and give everyone a superior option for free?

Wouldn’t both get to the same point eventually?

If by "they" you're referring to Reswitched, they're not the ones reversing SXOS. Different people are doing it for different motivations.

Again, different teams. You're making the fallacy that the same people who are working on Atmosphere have given up time in their day to crack SXOS instead, which just isn't true.

But hexkyz is working on Atomsphere. GitHub project page list him as one of the three main contributors. I've seen his commits before.

Are you saying he's just poking around SX OX to find if there are any brick codes?

Whatever OP said hexkyz bricked his shit trying to crack it and I reacted to that. If I'm wrong so be it. But then my question is why waste your time with SX OS?

The amount of irony in these posts is staggering to me...

Anyway, if this claim is true (I see no reason to believe that it isn't, based on where the claim originated from), I can't say that I am too surprised. Personally, this was one of several reasons why I had never even considered buying their junk product. This is what can happen when you buy products from shady companies. I also find it amusing that they are (apparently) so concerned with piracy of their product, when the main purpose of their product is to allow the piracy of software produced by other developers.
Well they did say the reason they had to push the release later, was to make clone counter measure. Anyway this doesnt afect you at all, you neither bought it or tried to crack it. I'm sorry if I don't understand your point, but are you saying that one day they're going to brick the console of the people who really bought it or that the brick code will magically activate on our switch for no reason. I don't think they would shit on their clientele like that and drag their name into the mud. And there's one thing you seem to get wrong, the main purpose of all this is to make money. Again, cant make money giving your softwate for freeor bricking console for no reason.

he's just mad he couldn't crack it or maybe even bricked his switch himself.
You know, those people aren't random kids that rage brick their systems on purpose to draw attention.


TX doing this will only cause some people to stop using their products. Sadly the appearing of clones is worse than losing a some people, so they go the inmoral way.
What did you expect from a piracy group tho? I really hope they end up like Gateway, getting replaced by a community CFW.

i didn't mean he bricked it on purpose, i mean he could have just messed up trying to crack it.

Just like Gateway wasn't supposed to brick legit users, then they bricked @Devin 's 3ds and had to mail him a new entire system to not make a big deal out of it, using a card they sent him to review.

It's cool if you guys want to trust some rando company, but fuuuuuck that.
That Discord post is fake btw

Xecuter isn't some random company, they've had a good reputation since the PS1...

So no proof of this, just a bricked console caused by the same person messing with some stuff. Even the explanation sounds "weird".

Look, i dont know (and nobody here does, just speculation) if they added brick code or not, but going to twitter and saying "My console got bricked, TX fucked me" is just a shitty thing to do. Add that the fake TX Discord account and all this smells fishy. Still, if this is true then yeah, really stupid stuff from TX.

Lets just wait and see, but the desire arround here (from some people) to see TX get fucked is just lame.

My point still stands though. kind of ironic a piracy device has a license and no public view of its code. It's not like we can verify outside of this, so this is the info we have to go on.

They've already fucked people with burned fuses they'd been preserving and didn't warn them about going online, which makes me feel like they don't test their products very well.

Now will people stop spreading FUD? Probably not

Gateway said the same thing.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze

    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double

    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
