I hope this exploit creates a hack that prevents the Switch from downloading an update and keeping it on the systems memory and then annoying users with that Update message, really hate that as updating it was the only way to get rid of it and now we found out there is way to get rid of the update prompt by going into recovery mode, I should have kept it at 2.0 because of the easy way of deleting the update, which is to just restart it but 3.0 changed that as that no longer worked.

How do i check what FW i have?? I havent used my Switch lately, I just turned it on and it says there is a update ready to be install. I tried to go into system settings and under "system update" I only see a message saying a new system update is ready to install. So i am not sure what FW i have.

Just turn off your WiFi and go into Recovery Mode and reboot the Switch and check.

but this exploit gives full permissions to any service

On a gardened FW, yes. You need only look to twitter to see that 3.0.1 has paralyzed forward FW progress for the scene because everything depended on smhax, and a lot of resources are not focusing on smhax compatible FW.

I am actually not too sure if this is good for the scene, to be frank. This is going to turn into PS4 again.

With full privileges can we run our own unsigned updates or would we be screwed on that because they still aren't signed by Nintendo? Sorry if it's a dumb question, I'm going off of the ps3 scene years and years back. But with that we had the keys to sign our updates and disable signature checks.
