If you burn them you will lose the ability to load homebrew.


Wrong, with efuses burnt you won't be able to boot lower firmware versions without a payload, and even if you boot them, sleep mode will be broken because waking from sleep also checks for the fuses. You won't lose the ability to load homebrew, it will just be a really big hassle if the current firmware can't run them.

I think is kind of the same answer just more specific, because if you keep updating burning fuses and can't RCM your switch anymore then you can't launch homebrew but its fine. Just avoid burning them.

I got switch on 4.1 didn’t know if I’m making more hassle and work by not burning them? there’s no brick risk running my snsnand on lower from my emuNAND ?

The safest bet is not to burn them. I don't think there is any risk in running a sysnand on lower firmware than emuNAND. Anyway you should always keep a rawnand and boot1 and 2 backups ready, just incase.

It just depends on what you want. If you dont plan on downgrading, then just "burn" them. If you want to update but be able to go back to 4.1 at any time because whatever reason (mostly deja vu/other software exploits) then yes, keep them.

So again, do you want to update and just keep doing like always or want to go back to your old firmware at some point? Its on you.

Too much work in my opinion. Also, afaik it's possible that Nintendo could check the fuse count in a way that hasn't been patched by CFW, and then send it with telemetry data. You're potentially elevating your risk for a ban.

Yes, i think you can do that. Updating EmuNAND via choidujournx wont burn fuses and you can launch EmuNAND without worrying about that. You can leave your sysnand with 4.1

Only "but" is that you cant play online with that setup, or maybe you can with EmuNAND but you would get ban.

Personally, i would not recommend you to wait for Deja Vu. I have been here since the Switch release and i cant tell you how many post like this i have seen. "I wont update, would wait for the software exploit". More than a year with that and nothing as of now. You would get used to launching the payload. You can even do it from an Android device.

Again, thats just my opinion. Who knows, from what im seeing now we could get Deja Vu in the near future, but if you are basing your decision in something that you dont know when is gonna happen, then you would probably wait a lot.

But il still be able to update emuNAND? so won’t miss out on much even if it dosnt happen?

Well apparently deja Vu is "dead" and the latest payloads can now use sleep on downgraded fw that have burnt fuses.

At this point, it doesn't look like there's many reasons to care about your fuse count.?

Latest hekate can ignore efuses on lower firm if they are burnt, sleep mode now works regardless.

Fast forward to later the same day...

Not burning fuses = ability to downgrade the console. It's not a complicated procedure, you just use ChoiDujourNX instead of updating via system settings. If you are looking for a coldboot in the future, save fuses. If you don't care as long as you can use cfw, burn them to the ground

Even if every single one of the anti-downgrade fuses are burned, you should still be able to boot payloads from USB with the RCM exploit.

There's really no point to keeping fuses since hekate supports warmboot with burnt fuses now.

Maybe tetherless?
