Hacking COMPLETED Fail0verFlow Drops Bomb on Twitter

Alright, cause I was thinking whether it was safe to update since there were fixes to the motion controls.

It's up to you whether or not it's worth it.

Right, thanks. I'll rely on updates through CFW when that happens. =)

why would he need to hold off on updating because as far as i was reading this works on all fw's as of right now so yes I know lower is better but he is all ready on 5.0.0 so even if he updates it would still be hacked the same way as if he was on a higher fw.

Vulns in FW itself.

Yay! We are at - take the available information
( https://gbatemp.net/threads/fusee-gelee-faq-by-kate-temkin.500599/page-32#post-7918526 )
make your own educated decisions - levels.

Pro Tip. Don't rely on asking strangers in a webforum "what you should do". Or "if things are safe".

Chances are - some times you might get someone like me, that just might tell you everything you do with your switch is "safe" - just to let you feel how little accountability you actually get from me as "random voice on the internet", if stuff goes wrong.

(Lets call this a thought experiment for now... I havent done it yet.. )

The moment people start to think on their own, instead of relying on the first voice that tells them to do something, in a thread they just highjacked - it will be paradise in here..

edit: Then this happens:

True - in theory. But still, dont take his/her responsibility for deciding away. Lets preferably not babystep every possible from x firmware to y firmware question, people could ask.

We are not writing service center call manuals here..

Also - prevent people from going with the shorthand "lets just update freely" - because the vulns in lower firmwares might still be valuable... Or not. Handle with care.

edit: The alternative is having the guy above show up again, once 5.0.2 gets released, with a very creative question. ("Does this mean..?")

Anyone remember a few years ago when people had to use their own brains?

To be fair, they grew up, and now we're in the next generation.

What's stopping you?

money?

 

[delete12345]

money?

Determination.

 

[garyopa]

money?

No problem, stay tuned for our new 'hax' that involves shorting two pins on ATM and it will jackpot cash to you!

 

[ScarletDreamz]

Is this seriously the only thing that's necessary for haxxing the Switch?

and hard work from the devs.

 

[ehnoah]

So is it fake or not?

Presumably you take it out once you've booted into special recovery mode? Because its only there to let you boot into the special recovery mode. (That then launches the exploit.) Science!

"You mean, if I take the round block, and put it on top of the square block - on my "suitable for 6 months - 1 year olds" basic motorics skills block set for intelligent children, i can then remove the round block a few minutes later, and put it back into the box it came out of?"

Learning about temporary object permanence. Ah, those were the days...

(Alternatively, just buy their "green cable kit", which is much easier to detach - (after you are done, just stop holding the green cable). "But my cable is red.." "See, this is where you went wrong... Probably got a wrong "what should I buy" response on the internets? Those happen, you know. Damn pranksters!" )

Oh this is nice.... I'll wait patiently for the free software version that was confirmed for summer release
