I'm just curious to actually know the specifics about when this information is sent to Nintendo, what can and can't be used safely now, etc.
That being said, I don't know how much we'll actually find out, since I doubt people like SciresM are going to worry about it too much (since it primarily concerns 3DS piracy - but I'm worried that it concerns homebrew and VC injections and such too), plus they're busy working on the Switch stuff.
Personally though, finding some sort of way around these piracy bans would be a high priority for me if I were a hacker (I'm not, and I'm aware that it's quite the opposite of a simple fix), not to aid piracy but because it would likely aid homebrew and general hacking efforts - if you can cloak your activity, so to speak, then it'd be safer for everyone doing anything on a hacked system, which would also end up including piracy (for better or worse).
I have to say, I didn't see this coming. Nintendo have been so completely useless when it comes to security that it's rather a surprise. It's a little too early to congratulate them though, as far as I'm concerned - they're still incompetent on many other levels, and they constantly try to copy Apple's business model (expensive brand name, inflated prices, etc.) whilst not actually delivering anywhere near the same level as Apple (and this isn't praise for Apple - they haven't really set the bar that high). Oh, and they're extremely consumer-unfriendly, but then again, most companies are. Just look at Sony and Microsoft - it's like Dumb and Dumber. Can you guess which one's which? I can't.
Whilst I agree with you for the most part, if they truly have the mentality that banning 3DS consoles will make people move to Switch, they're even dumber than I thought. I already hate the Switch as-is (and for the fuckboys, I have one in my possession so I'm fully informed on my opinion), but if they think banning my old console(s) will make me buy a Switch, they're wrong.
