The sections are the same as when I published it. I added it as a disadvantage in order to make it clearer as it actually is a disadvantage. This is intact since I published it
And that is the ONLY section that DIRECTLY states this property, you keep acting like you already posted something else before that states this but that is just NOT TRUE.
... you need to introduce the AceNS dongle into the Nintendo Switch system while it's turned on. After a few seconds, the led will show a white light, so it's ready to use ... The Nintendo Switch must be turned off previously while the dongle is inserted: ...
Logically, you are not going to turn the Switch off while it's on AutoRCM mode, that's clear enough.
This is NOT proper logic AT ALL.
- The Switch does NOT need to be off while the dongle is inserted. This info is COMPLETELY WRONG.
- The CORRECT answer Switch needs to be in RCM MODE, which AutoRCM does. ANYONE who knows how the Fusee Gelee exploit works (which is to inject the payload while the Switch is in RCM Mode) knows this.
- So LOGICALLY it cannot be used as a premise, since the statement is INCORRECT.
- That you even quoted this makes me think you don't even know how AutoRCM works. Do you know how AutoRCM works? When the Switch crashes/dies, it CANNOT charge any devices via the USB-C port. This means that if you are on the go and your Switch dies, only a CHARGED DONGLE can revive your Switch, the Switch itself CANNOT charge the dongle.
- Your statement "You cannot use autoRCM", and "if you want to use AutoRCM" seems to imply that you think users have the choice of turning AutoRCM off. BUT MANY users use AutoRCM not just so they can avoid a jig. Because if you want to avoid burning fuses while running a higher FW, you CANNOT boot in non-RCM mode. A SINGLE jig failure means burned fuses, hence AutoRCM is REQUIRED for protecting the efuses.
- Your statement "It's also specified that you cannot use AutoRCM with this dongle because of that. " is ALSO WRONG. You CAN use this dongle with an AutoRCM Switch, IF it is charged before hand. The only problem is that an AutoRCM Switch can't charge it if the Switch has crashed (which is the MAJOR use case for a dongle, reviving a Switch on the go after it crashes). If ONLY it held a charge for even 24 hours, then you could charge it before leaving the house. But holding a charge for only 15 minutes is unbelievably short!
You could read it before and you knew it used capacitors as all this information is in the thread since the beginning.
You keep acting like saying "it uses capacitors" is somehow a "free pass", and as if everyone should've "known" this means it cannot hold a charge.
BUT again, this is just NOT TRUE.
SX Pro had already been released by this time, and almost everyone knows THOSE use capacitors. And it is ALSO common knowledge that it can hold a charge for at least A WEEK.
So it is ALSO LOGICAL that people will assume SIMILAR performance from any other dongle that uses capacitors.
You could search for the difference between capacitors and batteries too.
I already told you in my earlier post, STOP DOING THIS.
This is VERY PATRONIZING.
You are acting like just because you said "capacitors", as if no one else understood how capacitors properly work, and that they should've understood that it CAN'T hold a charge.
Why don't YOU do a search yourself?
If a capacitor is properly disconnected from the circuit, the duration that it can store energy is based on its
leakage current.
And almost everyone knows capacitors can hold a charge.
That is why it is dangerous to open high voltage equipment even YEARS after they've been last used.
This article even discusses the possibility of using super-capacitors to replace batteries:
https://hackaday.com/2017/01/19/will-supercapacitors-ever-replace-batteries/
So stop acting like just because you said "capacitors" that it's like a magic word you can use to say "that means it can't hold a charge". That's BULL.
The XKit site states that they use "ultra capacitors" (archived version of the site
here)
And searching for how long those can hold a charge, someone did the math:
But 15 minutes is NOT 3-days (and not even down to 50% capacity, but COMPLETELY DRAINED within MINUTES).
The truth is, either this dongle's capacitors are garbage, or the design is faulty and they made it so that the circuit drains it even when not in use.
I never said anything like that, never quote anyone with anything that person has not said. There's a big difference between not reading and not being able to read.
That's BULL.
Stop trying to get away with technicalities such as "I said it uses capacitors" or "there's a difference between not reading and not being able to read".
Why don't YOU read what you said:
If someone doesn't read before buying it's that person's fault
This is PRESUMPTUOUS.
You ASSUME people didn't read, and IMMEDIATELY BLAME the users stating "it's their fault".
So ALL the users I quoted above "didn't read"?
THAT is your conclusion? REALLY?
As I said, I CAREFULLY READ EVERYTHING posted about an item I'm interested about, so you are already INSTANTLY WRONG about your presumption that the user/s "didn't read".
And NOTHING in your original post alluded to such TERRIBLE performance such that
the dongle can't even hold a charge for even longer than 15 minutes.
And don't say that junk about saying "capacitors" again because I already addressed that above.
You shouldn't take this issue in a personal way as I'm not precisely the one who is arguing.
As I stated above, you've made statements that are either PATRONIZING, or PRESUMPTUOUS.
Saying "you should search how capacitors work" or "it's the users fault if they didn't read before buying" are very passive aggressive ways to insult the users' intelligence, don't act like these are "elegant words" like you said.
And you've also been using COMPLETELY WRONG premises to DEFEND this dongle (such as stating the Switch should be OFF when inserting the dongle, when it is only required to be in RCM mode).
When all we are doing is
posting our own negative experiences, like
@ravihpa did earlier, and yet you found it necessary to argue with them and counter them posting about their experience... which is RIDICULOUS, why would you argue against a user review??? Unless you had a stake in the matter like being affiliated with them, then it makes no sense, just let people post their OWN experiences.
your critique is a good example of how critiques should be, you've been respectful. All opinions are valid if they are made from the respect.
Well, it is not respectful if you are patronizing or presumptuous, and neither is blaming the buyers saying "it's their own fault if they didn't read"
So why not take your own advice?
Personally, I think I have a right to be angry with the dongle, I bought it expecting to have a spare dongle to use when on the go, as the SX pro sometimes ends up dead/dried out. And I did NOT expect this dongle to ALWAYS be dead when I needed it, even though I tried charging it several times across the day while playing.
So don't expect a disgruntled user who found the item they bought to be USELESS for their use case to be all smiles. Of course I'm mad, and on top of that, to be told it's my own fault for "not reading" when I DUTIFULLY read through the walls of text is NOT helping.
This dongle is GARBAGE to me.
It CANNOT hold a charge for longer than 15 minutes, and I am going to make sure everyone here who is interested in this item knows it before buying.
