It said you quoted me xDDude stop calling people morons or idiots cus they don't share your opinion. Let people update and enjoy the switch now and not 2 or more years later, when the switch becomes outdated. Why do you even bought the switch?

Unfortunately I think a great many people have seen the homebrew situation on Switch to mean they will be getting "backup" loaders and not really thinking about the implications of the changes made in 3.0.1 and the impact of efuses.The proposition has not changed.
If you want homebrew or a tinkering sandbox, yes it is worth it to wait. If you just want emulators, that's your call as there are numerous alternatives on the market for less that are already fully supported.
If you want games, its probably not worth it to wait. If you want pirated Switch games for free, don't bother as there's no guarantee that anything new will be accessible for a loader.
C'mon moron. (I mean that jokingly by the way!)Dude stop calling people morons or idiots cus they don't share your opinion. Let people update and enjoy the switch now and not 2 or more years later, when the switch becomes outdated. Why do you even bought the switch?
No it isnt. they will 100% be able to find more entry points.
Where do these people keep coming from?
I'll say it again. You don't know this, nobody knows this, stop pretending you do.
Whether they're using eFuses or not. I know that's a hardware thing, but it's still important to consider when it comes to exploits since there have been exploits for other consoles in the past that do nothing but let you downgrade to a more vulnerable firmware.What would they suddenly change to have good security on their software?

While this makes sense, you're basing all of this on the history of the 3ds scene. (AFAIK this holds true for the PSP scene as well). But if you look at some other consoles like the PS3, or the Vita, you'll see that sometimes even a completely cracked open firmware does not mean that you are guaranteed an exploit in future. Some consoles do have a 'golden firmware' and although it's too early to say anything, this might be it for the Switch. So take that into consideration before you advice others to update without a second thought.Just like the 3DS, when they were able to completely crack open a lower firmware, it gave them access to far more of the internals.
Because of that, even access to decrypting how the later firmwares work.
That way they could find the infamous NTRBoot exploit, because they were able to access and read the bootloader.
When a hacker cracks an initial firmware, that hardly anyone uses, for many of them thats not the end.
The goal is to demonstrate your skills and hack the latest firmware, regardless of whether you release the exploit or not.

Hi all.
I've had a switch since launch day and I love it. As of late as you all know there has been this "huge" exploit that has been found and your not able to use it when you update to 3.01.
I'm currently on 3.0 and I've been tempted so many times this past couple of days to update just to get access back on the Eshop for updates and demos etc.
We've not really been told what is to come out of all this and also how long it will be, neither do we have any footage that hax exist or at least I've not seen any.
In the coming months there are going to be some big titles hitting the switch (Fire Emblem, Mario Odysee, Pokemon) plus more and these are all going to require updating the console to a new firmware.
So for those who can't really go out and buy a second console. Is this hassle all worth it? Will we get proof soon what we will be able to do? Just what should we do sit back and hold our horses or bit the bullet and lose what could potentially be heaven?
How do I know this? Because unlike most people here I actually do security research, I've seen the patterns in systems and trends.
Furthermore, judging from Nintendos crappy security in the past. I'm certain they've made mistakes again. Just a matter of time.
