Stealth mode active?
Stealth mode has nothing to do with this.
@AveSatanas you were so right LOOOOOOOL
hmm, about what?
hmmm, i have a questiom, what is this exactly? can be run on other update?
Webapplets are the heart of many many parts of the Nintendo Switch system (eshop, safety notices, captive portals, image/video sharing), even game guides and multiplayer lobbies rely on them. Opening them on SXOS v1.7 or v1.8 will cause a fatal crash and cause some corruption on your exfat partition.

These can be run on older updates, yes.

Now I wonder if they changed anything or just bumped their version string a little.
They removed LayeredFS and bumped minor version (not revision, good semver you have there TX).

Just so that I'm fully in the clear here in my assumption that this didn't fix anything: The reason shits broken on 6.0.0 has nothing to do with LayeredFS right? (I mean it should be obvious, but still).

I swear to god, this is even more embarassing than if they just bumped the version, since they axed a feature they put in on an earlier release without telling their consumers.

Again, I'll keep questioning how they are even permitted here to begin with, their product is quite frankly getting more and more offensively bad than when it started.

There were 2 issues: 1) It wasn't booting for some due to layeredfs kpatches 2) a lot of stuff was broken due to their broken loader.kip (stolen from atmosphere)

They fixed first by removing layeredfs (not sure if for all versions or for 6.0.0), but second is still there.

There's a complicated (and honestly meh) reason as to why they're permitted here but I won't go into details.

If it is Layered FS, then if someone from the community update it, they will most likely "add" it again to SX OS.

just curiously, if I wanted to try out reinx - could I use the sx pro dongle to load it up? or no

Put the reiNX .bin file on your sd card and select the "Launch external payload" option in the SX OS boot menu. I personally recommend downloading tomGER's SD files pack here: https://github.com/tumGER/SDFilesSwitch/releases/ for using ReiNX instead of SXOS, and then downloading the reinx .bin straight from the github.

i knew 1.7 had been announced, but not that it had actually been released. Good work on updating again so soon despite the hateful people. Latest reason to hate, calling it 1.8 instead of 1.7.1... *facepalm*

Please stay on topic. This includes SX OS 1.7 and 1.8, and support for using them. It does not include:
  • Whether SX is better or worse than something else
  • Whether SX is good or bad objectively
  • Whether code was stolen/GPL/licensing issues
  • Piracy ethics
There are other places to talk about these where it is on topic. Thank you.

This still doesn't have the function of creport, does it? That's really the only thing preventing me from using it for homebrew on Horizon, as telemetry is still written to the internal storage, allowing it to be transmitted to Nintendo upon successful internet connection.

Yes you can actually disable this yourself.

You can add this by adding the atmosphere creport main and main.npdm files to sd:/sxos/titles/0100000000000036/exefs/ .
Those creport files can be grabbed from for example SDFiles packaged by tomger, they are located under the atmosphere folder.

That's probably Stealth mode. If you really want to go back to how it was before, go to the album menu and move to OPTIONS where you can disable Stealth mode.
