I accidentally updated switch to 15.0 so I updated atmosphere i was getting this error https://i.imgur.com/K43A5eU.jpg ,but got it working. In doing trouble shooting Im not sure what happened but now my tinfoil and games give me the screen "unable to open". I deleted tinfoil and tried to reinstall it but is not showing up on the home screen. I can open the album to get into that homebrew menu, so I dont know what to do.

i tried to reinstall with tinleaf using usb or from the card and i get this error https://imgur.com/N7gilVs. Also why would my other games not open ? The games are showing as taking up space on the card, but when i try to play them i get unable to start software.

I went looking for sigpatches on this site, on here there is a topic with sig patches, I downloaded the life linked in the first post and installed the files. Now my hekate_ipl file has 3 cfw MMC's that i dont think i originally had and when i click on them they give me errors.

If you updated everything properly (tinfoil 15, atmosphere and sigpatches), tinfoil should launch without any issue.
Btw if you have an old version of tinfoil you'd better completely remote it and reinstall tinfoil 15, instead of overwriting the old install. I tried to overwrite my existing tinfoil before (self installer version) and got a black screen when launching it.

as randy said, you need to delete the tinfoil folder on sd card before launching the fw15 tinfoil.nro

    I got the Google Pixel Pro buds, they're good enough for when I need portable audio. And some really cheap IEMs that Dankpods recommends, I think the KZ ZSN Pro

    I'd stick with cheapo Chinese $10 ones quality is actually becoming on pair with name brand since name Brand usually quads the price up anyway loose one bud that's another $200
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My Pixel Pro buds shit the bed a month or two ago. My wireless charger (which they do support Qi charging) absolutely COOKED them. Caused some problem that caused the case to heat up to 180F+
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    They were like 9 months out of warranty but I hit up Google support anyway and told them how hot they were getting and they replaced them with new ones because they wanted these for failure analysis lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol wireless charging
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why I can't bring myself to even spend $100 on wireless earbuds

    Apparently the case has a problem with >15W wireless chargers. Google design fault, that one.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I could live with wireless charging if the damn standard case doesn't block connection

    @Xdqwerty, power through a coil of wire causes an electromagnetic field to be generated. Another coil of wire can be set up to harness the power from that electromagnetic field and turn it into usable energy for charging a device
