You need a serious break from the internet. Just how heavily you attack people over the stupidest shit is astounding. Not to mention, you sure do love throwing "sycophancy" around for every occasion. Chill. The. Fuck. Out.
I can answer that! And the problem is: Backup loader.
Then don't mod your Switch. Period.
Read my reply above. Wanna know why people keep defending them? The answer is pretty simple...
Why? There are open-source alternatives out there that don't have the potential to brick anything.
Those open sources are nowhere near stable is why and could "Potentially" brick our switch as well we just haven't put any effort finding out how like we are on the SX OS
The difference between the two is that one has community oversight and is being developed by people who do not have a vested interest in destroying my hardware. The other is SX.
The difference is that one is open source and the other is a paid product with an anti piracy measure. With the given facts only triggers when someone tampers with the product and only 1 person has done this and only 1 person got bricked
What about this doesn't say vested interest to you? While it is a defense against crackers, the fact remains that atmosphere doesn't need anything like this.
Again, it's about principle. I'm not going to support something that, along with being the product of minimal effort, has the potential to brick its own paying customers.
Give it an hour or two and he's gonna act all apologetic and claim to take a break from the temp and goes back to being a toxic brick in less than 24 hour afterwards like the dozen other times he pulled that shit. "Throw a fit" fox will never change.
And while that's perfectly fine, let's face it. You didn't want to "support" TX to begin with riding the atmosphere train. There's gonna be a chance that atmosphere will brick your Switch too one way or another. Be it through one line of bad code or through manual user error. There is no known case of SX OS bricking a switch through normal use so we don't know whether or not TX will reimburse legit customers which is why I'm willing to give them the benefit of doubt.
Okay, that's fair. From my perspective, however, going the atmosphere route is far safer, since again, no active brick code. Plus, there will be several utilities that can help recover in case of an Atmosphere-caused brick, whereas SX simply encrypts your nand (we know the "default" pass, although hexkyz's first brick was just encrypted from random garbage pulled from the stack, so who the heck knows), so people without the know-how are left completely at TX's mercy.
There's supposedly a writeup coming, but if you want to brick your own switch to prove them wrong, the details are here.
That brick code is there for a reason and it got demonstrated when other people get bricked then I'll get back to you on that. Principle means nothing if the product your selling loses value b/c it was stolen for free usage . Atmosphere wont have backup support
