Atmosphere will release a new Sept probably, then ReiNX can port it and use it. SX needs to extract the new key. Then it's back to normal.
Just a odd release now? Why not next week when Mario Maker 2 hits?

Anyways this firmware version number are suspicious to me (8.1.0), they up the minor version (that on software usually means that this version have a new (atleast little) features) but don't say nothing on the changelog about new features, so I think that they implement new methods against scene (telemetry or cfw detection improvements for example) obviusly they don't say nothing about this changes because their interest are detect and ban all hacked switches possible, but I'm sure that soon the ReSwitched team appear with more info about the changes and not only for the new TSEC keys.

For a real little fixes or stability improvements, we usually only up the micro version number (8.0.2 for example) but it just my theory I can be wrong here.
Yeah, I remember the 3DS. Loved the new features versions like 11.0, 10.0, 8.0 and others came with. Heck, I loved how the hole 11 and 10 versions and all its revisions came with new features. That's totally like Nintendo works and have accostumed us.

I just love how Hex just ask for the keys, and TSEC gives it to him.

why wont tsec give them to me when I ask though *pout* /s

Oh, a new problem for hackers, I guess the atmosphere will be the first one to solve this problem.

what crack are you smoking?
Nintendo can't really do much about sept
Calm down. a new model nor revision will always have an exploit. All are hackable but all will take time to jailbreak anyway. :) ;)
Not all consoles have working exploits
the switch scene just got lucky with nvidia's mistakes

Mariko will have significantly improved bootrom security, so we probably won't be able to attack that. Secmon has zero useful exploits, so we won't be able to attack that. And the kernel has zero useful exploits, so we won't be able to attack that. Literally the only possible way hacks will ever be a thing on it is if somehow Nintendo fucks up and adds a new exploit in a future system update, or if Nintendo ships them with <=5.x (which they won't).

there is another way the legal rout charge Scires M and co. and prevent them from releasing cfw ever again (they're still breaking the law even with their anti piracy stance it's just one less charge and their still looking at years in prison if found/charged)

Scires know fine the law, so I doubt that they can do something to their on this way, as you can see, atmophére repositories are 100% legal, so they can't charge him and "co" without break the law first.

wrong they are still circumventing security which is against DMCA and the EU's copyright laws you can still go to prison for that

Where they are disrespecting the copyright laws? As I can see they didn't have or distribute any code owned by N.

The Switch CFW are a chain of injected patches, they use these patches to redirect the OFW to their custom handlers but atmosphére didn't have any code or file of official firmware.
