Hacking Are Controller Updates safe?

[Oracleofire]

What's the deal with these things? What do they change/do? Are they safe? How many of them are there?

I accidentally updated my joy-cons when I first ChoiDujour'ed to 5.1.0. I was like "well, f***" but it seems like it doesn't affect anything. I just updated to 6.2.0 and this time I'm getting a controller update nag. Is this update safe? Will it brick my switch then upload my nudes? Honestly there doesn't seem to be a lot of info on controller updates. I'd appreciate anything anyone could tell me about these.

As long as you controller isn't modded(As in you didn't solder pins together) they are fine

Thanks! I'll go ahead and update them (because they keep nagging me). Honestly, it seemed like nothing happened the last time I updated them anyway. What do they even keep finding to update in these controllers anyway??? I've never even heard of "controller updates" in like... anything ever lol

not safe
if you update your controller, nintendo will find out you hacked your console, ban your console and hire a hitman to assassinate you.

Also using the same dock will get you banned.
