actually sheeple is used for anyone who's way of thinking fall right in line with mainstream media propaganda.

No, it means "people compared to sheep in being docile, foolish, or easily led."

Which sounds like the people who believe the conspiracy theories.

Just my two cents, given their recent stunts with competitions lately.

Piracy is always an important part of the software commerce - it spreads the software to broader audience, some of which would not pay for the software anyway. For example, Microsoft tacitly tolerated (some even say encouraged) piracy to get to their dominant position. It is always a good thing that as many as possible people use the software - some pay for it but some don't anyway. The key is market influence.

This is just economics. Please don't mix moral lessons with it. Thank you.

This report was officially written by USA Departament of Justice. So you're doubting entire USA judiciary.

It was already confirmed that updates in 3.1.0 were done by different person than in previous updates (different update scheme, sloppy code).

I actually do doubt the USA judiciary, how could anyone not?

OMG, let's be honest, Jayro! Are you actually gonna buy games that you downloaded and played on your hacked Switch? More than likely, no! If you're gonna buy them, you're part of the 1% users! Congrats! I don't blame you if you don't buy them, I do the same! I don't feel that bad about pirating now, as I bought a ton of games in the 16-bit, PSX, PS2, PS3 era. I'd have thousands of dollars more in my bank account, if I had been pirating back then. I don't regret spending the money then, as I had a lot of fun, but all the same, I don't have remorse pirating now.

TBH, Yes, I actually do.

I don't have that much space on my microSD (which was a b##ch to set up for my taste).
Therefore, I take a look at a game, decide if it is too big, then eventually buy it on cartridge.

I exclusively use Atmoaphere f.e. to apply a layered fs patch to my cartridge FFVII&FFVIII game.

I like owning games I like.

Thinking about getting Fenyx Rising once the price drops.

And this makes the decision waaay easier, as I can write my save to the sysnand.

I guess owning a PS4 changed me a bit.

Does NSP installation via USB work on SX OS 3.1 and HOS 11.0?

TX is like Hydra in the real world.

LeyendaV · Dec 8, 2020

This is pretty interesting as well.

I really dislike that DRM thing. I'm afraid if they do an error and nukes a lot of Switches. As we seen with Gateway.

Except the Gateway thing wasn't an error, they did that on purpose to get rid off of some competition.
TX is the new Gateway, but I seiously doubt they are interested on doing that kind of stuf. So, even when their chip already nuked a ton of consoles out there, I'm 100% sure it was due to errors and not intentional stuff.

Oh nono, it's the same team. Old TX that did 360 etc. got bought out from the team that is Gateway.

Yes I know, but since there is a lot of errors in the loader as Hekxyz say. I just don't want it to become an accident and it bricks Switches.

I highly suggest all SXOS users to do a NAND backup. Then use 7zip, 7z, LMZA2 and Ultra setting. Your 32gb nand will turn in to like 7-8gb (depending if you installed on your nand or not). Save it to like Google Drive, Dropbox or such. It can save you in a pinch!

That was my point when I said TX is the new Gateway. They are basically the same people. And you know what they say, "you can't teach an old dog new tricks."

Unfortunately, at this point, we can't be sure of how dangerous the new update can be. I saw a lot of people debugging and writing logs of this new update.
Yes, it's buggy as hell, but so far there's not such a thing as a bomb. Worse thing that could happen is a chain of errors that would lead to a potential brick. How bad that bick could be, I think that's what people is trying to figure out.

And as you say, for the love of god, ALWAYS have a back-up of system. NAND, keys, eveything.

Could you please point to a guide that backs up everything important?

They can get the website down.

I suspect they just send a letter to whoever hosts and sometimes the host will comply. Nobody can really stop piracy, they can only slow it down.

It can be reduced, look at Sony, piracy on the PS5 is so far imposible.

Paulsar99 · Dec 10, 2020

Of course it will still get supported since there's still money selling sx products.

That's because it's been out for a like a few weeks?

Yes it does, at least for me ( tested on a Switch Lite ); using usbhddfs in tinfoil though, not from Album menu of SXOS...

Well they are doing okay with their anti piracy on the PS4 I guess?
