why the fuck would they remove RCM fully? It's needed for some shit at ninty. They probs just fixed the CVE.
They could also fix the T210 bootrom in the factory on any new switches without changing the SoC.
Already done, newest units have ipatches which fix shofusel2

I'll probably buy a second Switch for online, after my first one gets banned. Switch prices are going down anyway, you could get a brand new Switch yesterday for $225. Maybe by this time next year, Switches might be $150.
But, hey, I hope that 20 dollars a year is worth it for their online, because I only went online with my 3DS a few times for Animal Crossing.

All comes down to what game are you playing if you're playing Mario kart, Splatoon or Smash then the $20 it's nothing but if you lose interest in those games there's nothing else to do online lol.
I assumed that was the case, but hadn't seen any confirmation.
But it has been known for ages that Nintendo wouldn't need to ship Mariko to fix the issue, they might even delay that now to try to beef up security and specification more.

Quite a few information going on here. Can you indicate which is correct.
These T210 switches with the new ipatches are coming new from the factory or is it through a firmware update affecting every single switch?
So if my switch is hackable now it will be hackable forever through FG?

The bootrom of the Switch is read-only meaning neither we nor Nintendo can modify it. Meaning Nintendo cannot modify it through a firmware update. Meaning Nintendo can only modify it physically or before it leaves the factory.

So to sum up, All current units have the Tegra 210 SoC which is vulnerable to shofusel2. Upcoming units will have the Tegra 214 SoC which is completeley immune to shofusel2.
To also quote this, this is wrong. Nintendo can modify the bootrom at factory, which is what they did. Said ipatches on the T210 SoC patch the shofusel2 vuln and leave those units to the same option as upcoming Mariko units: Software Exploits/New Hardware Vulns.
Mariko units will come with at least 5.0.0 so they are SoL atm.
Current units which are not vuln to shofusel2 come with 4.1.0 which leaves one last door open:
Deja Vu, tz vuln, enables direct warmboot into atmosphere.

I thought this was a given but I'll amend my post Mr. Technical >.<
Didn't mean to sound rude or anything, but the guy above seems new so I thought I'd better call this one out too.
That's fine, I want to spread the most appropriate misinformation as much as you do. I didn't sense any rudeness from your response. I can tell you know more about what's going on than me. I guess its my fault for watering down the information a little too much.
Nah, technically you're right, after the unit leaves the factory the bootrom is a hundred percent read only and can't be modified by a system update nor anything else.
I just wanted to point out how N patched those units.
So is Nintendo ipatching all new Switches coming out of the factory? So basically all newly manufactured switches are immune to FG?
Why not? They don't lose much, if anything at all, from doing this. Its better than having to recall all manufactured consoles to apply the patches themselves. Also, as someone else pointed out, they may have been doing this for a while but we are now seeing the effects in action because old stock out prioritizes new stock. Eventually, all Switches will either be part of the new revision or have the appropriate patches applied.

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 funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

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:
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:
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.

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 -
