Wow, haha so all these people who bought stipid expensive used switches because they were on low firmware was all for nothing haha, glad i stuck with my 4.0 bran new switch
F-G was already turned in they wouldn't be releasing it otherwise as its a major Tegra flaw, and (almost besides that) nVidia fixed their bootloader issues with TX2 already. Its unreasonable to think that a new chip, the T214, isn't going to be fixed from the known hardware perspective. They may even hit it with a hammer a few times to make sure it actually is secure, otherwise nVidia gets more and more screwed in their contractual dealings if they are a known weak-end.
This isn't a bootrom update, this is rewriting the bootrom and replacing it outright.
In a way it is 'blocking' because its considerably less convenient and safe to hunt down a fork for something that will almost assuredly get you banned any way. Atmosphere's not meant to give you a glorified brick, and losing all server access and more is in many ways in today's world a glorified brick. So not having the built in work for loaders is logical.
And good.
You are saying it like it's a guaranteed ban. Though imo I would say using atmosphere will likely not ban, and using backups will vastly increase ban risk. If designed correctly it should be undetectable, especially given the minimal amount of patching it will do.

My god your argument is incredibly flawed. Ok, imagine it as a product. Would you like to give out to the public a sonic 06, where it's a complete utter mess, or would you like to give the public a complete exploit and shows a bit of what it can do, and others can quickly learn what is possible with this cfw. My point is, they are negating damage. And honestly there are quite a few idiots that absolutely will think they are a hotshot and brick themselves. Which is why releasing it in a finished indoors method, is better. Since it prevents them from being a moron since there is no insensitive to work on someone else code and have little idea what their doingThis all will happen either way thou. It's not an argument to prevent access now and grant it in the summer. Same effect?
I get the argument that you don't want people to walk around with a loaded gun if they don't know how to handle guns. However, there are issues in the logic:
- In the summer, people will start forking and tempering the CFW. They may also brick or brick others. No difference.
- That you shouldn't tinker with something because you don't know it and may hurt yourself is a very bad example. In fact you should. This is essential ape-like learning. Try, fail, adapt, learn, retry, combine knowledge. Degrading somebody to a consumer to protect them means to limit people from growing. Keeping them as pets or not-growing-up children. Second class citizens.
- IMO you should warn about the dangers and try to mitigate them by releasing a hardware bootrom de-bricker mod.
- Also, there is a difference between promoting something and releasing it
Or that I disagree with the model entirely

I think you are missing the point. Learning is done by trying. If you like to mitigate the risk, then make sure the risks are known. And make sure that they are revertible if possible. For example via a hardware-mod or a a recovery bootrom installed that restores from SD. Spend time on that, then release.
Sure you can brick. So what? You can right now run a PS4 exploit and brick. So?
If you read a product, you don't get the same effect then when you follow and participate in a development. And again, momentum and community is important. Otherwise a CFW and hacking the device has no meaning whatsoever. You could just read a book on OS development a paper on runtime patching (or some example software) and linux (or minix) sources and learn more.
IMHO you both have no experience in teaching

Oh sorry I misread. Still it isn't by definition blocking. Missing functionality is not blocking functionality. Plus I can understand why they wouldn't want to touch piracy with a 10 foot pole.

idk, given the fact that they managed to screw over the fuse system/disable it. I'm pretty sure the softmod is going to have equal, or more advantages. The only advantage it won't have is being able to restore from a brick. But I don't even know if they cannot do that.

That's why I gave up arguing. I just couldn't be bothered to try to correct their flawed viewpoint.

I seriously cant wait for emulators to hit the switch soon, fucking Nintendo cant give me Virtual Console already
I generally consider it 'enough'. Do you really want to try that random fork from who knows whom that may have who knows what in it, for a practice that has a high likelihood (remember, Nintendo knows what you own and what a system should have access to) of getting you banned?
People will obviously do it, and we're obviously going to get threads asking how to "How do I unban my Switch like a 3DS?!" and... I guess we can all collectively have a good laugh!

I'm going to avoid piracy. Mainly for the fact the switch isn't even 5 years old yet. And I definitely don't want a psp on our hands
At best they may be able to get away with cart games. But playing a eshop title that you dont own is basically a guarantee for a ban.
Well, I went through the hell that was installing A9LH when that first popped up, I imagine I can handle whatever extra hoops I may need to jump through for 5.0.0/1 for the Switch.

certainly online... Unless of course they (the switch homebrew scene in general) manages to figure out some way to avoid it. But I mean, we got a paid online service coming soon. Which I'm pretty sure are going to have piracy measures in place for those games.
At this point I've already spent more than $400 on games. I used to pirate on 3ds, but I had little money and didn't really care about the system. Switch is the first system that actually interested me, the first one I bought preorder, and the one systems I've spent the most time and money on. I don't feel the urge to pirate on the switch because most games are worth their price to me.
Not sure we can fool the load origin, we don't have the crypto on the carts-talk-authentication defeated as that's effectively impossible. It'd all be booting from on-board, ie. digital.
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
The Switch has heavy telemetry built in and constantly talks with Nintendo's servers when online and looking for authentication, and Scires already wrote up a great write up on the CDN changes that secure their content against 'FreeShop' like stuff and the consequences of it such as them knowing what you own (account integration and so on).
If you muck around, you're bound to trip up a telemetry red flag sooner or later. That sort of data isn't collected for shits and giggles.
Dont diss psp. Diss vita is you want to diss something, but vita's problems certainly not in piracy.

I feel like school, back when I was actually in school, was more entertaining though, because of how much I get to interact with people, hang out with friends, and other stuff like that. All I get to talk to at work is my boring coworkers lol
