Hacking 2.0.0-2 update includes Auto-Updates

umm I hope everyone knows that you can physically turn off the WIFI switch and your system will not connect to anything...that is of course unless tha paranoid believe that nintendo than automatically switch your wifi on at whim and then update.

Ugh... how you are surprised, people? DID YOU READ THE DISCLAIMER when you updated it? It gave you the option to turn them off.

ALSO, it gave you the option to turn off wifi altogether to avoid this whole mess.

And it's not talking about firmware updates; can you imaging the trouble they would receive if it automatically connected without you knowing in the middle of a huge FW update only for you to be "passing by" home or the hotspot and have it disconnect? FW brick much? Obviously they can't force you to update the firmware and if they are doing any such thing, it's just updating my fucking Pokedex app with new pokemon.

You guys worrying about this... shut up. Stop scaring people. Nothing bad is going to happen if you read up on shit before you MANUALLY update.

ummm that wouldnt happen because it downloads before it installs. if it doesnt finish downloading it doesnt install. nintendos servers got hit hard during that update. we would have seen bricks if auto updates actually did what you suggest it would do. thats just not how a 3ds would work even with forced auto firmware updates

this sir I didn't know seriously! I will have to find the switch only had it 3-4 days and honestly I didn't read the manual. Will save the battery as well I assume.

Is there a way to TURN these off? If so can someone please document the steps needed to ensure we don't autoupdate ourselves to brickage.

Settings - Internet Settings - SpotPass - Automatic Software Downloads and then select No.

It said it will only disable unimportant updates

You misunderstood.

It implied you cannot disable "important" updates

I have auto-updates on.
Tried eShop just there, it's saying there's a system update.
I haven't been automagically updated via spotpass.

Also, new update?!

Fixes Ridge Racer. That's all I notice.

It didn't automagically update at all.
I had to go and download it myself.
You had a download progress bar too, right?

Do flashcarts still work with the 2.1.0 update?

Yes, there was... but it was just to fast

So I concluded that it was just the install part
