Never trust a company that puts malicious code in their product.

Only 2 people were affected by Brickway, and Gateway even replaced their consoles. Everything else is drama and propaganda.

Ooh, PR damage control bullshit, tell me more. Wow, this definitely makes me want to buy their products, alright.
I don't disagree, TX is shady shit, but that's why I won't buy from them. I was on the fence about it, but now that I know their software has brick code, it's off the table, even if I would never in a million years hit it.
By his own admission this supposed "malicious code" would only be triggered by voltage or timing attacks.
So you want them to explain why there's a brick code to hackers trying exploit something they are making tons of money off of? So TX is shady when its a dead end to opensource? Can yall stop hating please?
This is how starts. They put a brick code now and say don't worry it's safe. Until it isn't.
TX did not need to put that there, brick codes only lead to bricked consoles including from legit costumers.

> watches over the overall execution time of this payload
It watches the overall exec time. So what if your Switch is really hot and CPU-throttled?
You mean the community they probably stole most of their work from? That one?
You really are a assmosphere fan, prove that they stole work? Can you?
You think TX would have anything without Switchbrew to use as a resource, and Hekate/Atmosphere to look at implementation for? When was their first announcement for it, beginning of May? After a year of the community reverse engineering the Switch, and finding the RCM exploit that TX ended up using.
Shit, I made stuff for 3DS based off other peoples work, I ported the Atmosphere FS-Mitm kernel patch to Hekate, I don't know shit on writing any of this myself, console RE is complicated. But I sure as hell give credit when I do it.
I guess you'll never support Nintendo as well since they had brick code back on the Wii.
eh not really - "In theory, it should be really difficult for this mechanism to trigger at random, but it is possible. The performance monitor features of the CPU are prone to mistakes just like anything else."
Worse, it could be consistently triggered by the diagnostics check even on a non-corrupted launcher.dat file. It was seriously glitchy. Hopefully nothing like that ever happens with SX.
Well you cannot prove it, tx announced their work earlier than reswitched's in reality it works better and it's stable, atmosphere is not nearly finished, it doesnt work as intented
Bricking someone's system is a rather extreme method when there's so many other things they could have done. Honestly the community should be concerned by this because we don't know what's in the source code and a brick code only shows just how little we should trust TX and their code.
You mean like this free CFW that already exist? This one right here? That free CFW, that already exist, and is open source. Reverse engineering their code isn't theft and he's not trying to "steal their code." He's trying to reverse engineer their closed-source code because he wants to, that's just something he does.

what is 'official' about this response the OP got anyway?
it's just an email, it's only an official response if they deem it so. (right?)
anyway, i don't want to seem like a shill
brick code isn't nice, if it bricks the wrong people.

yes it was terrible but they fixed it.

Oh yeah, the region changed Korean Wii bricks. I had forgotten about that. Everyone seemed to think that was acceptable for some reason. Even though it was obviously done on purpose since newer IOS checks for the presence of the KOR-specific key.

I called it official because it came directly from them. This is what they have to say about it (as of right now.)

You control a kitten. You fall out the window and have to make your way back home. Solve some light puzzles, do cat things like knock stuff over and steal things, trip people up when theyre walking, pounce on birds, complete goals/tasks etc. in the process of getting back to your home.+1 -

@SylverReZ It's short but adorable imo. Im a HUGE cat lover.Can be completed in a couple of hours if just going for the main goals. But can be stretched out a good deal by exploring and doing everything there is to do and see.+2

@RedColoredStars, Reminds me of a similar game called "Neko Atsume", similar to Nintendogs but you look after cats. -

So a man goes to the doctor because his boner wont go down. As he is laying in the hospital bed, with his thing propped up in the air, a fly is flying around and landing on the tip and bothering him, so he calls in the nurse. The nurse comes in, swats at the fly but can't quite reach it, so she climbs his boner to get better aim. After a few tries of swatting and sliding back down, she says sorry I cant get it. He says keep going, a few more tries, and I can shoot the fly down.+2 -
