Huh, I guess Reswitched was wrong then, good to know! I still advise end users to wait for things to become more stable regardless of this though.

EDIT: To reply to the edit, i got the "fake news" from credible users in the scene, but people can make mistakes, glad it was false.

It pays to fact check. This whole situation seemed pretty iffy to me.

Indeed, but you would presume that <reswitched team member A and B> + a few other devs would fact check this stuff before making such comments in public, but good that it was wrong anyways.

Ah, yes, more confusion. I'll just patiently wait while sipping on my hot coco, watching the drama unfold.

This is an example of the dangers of social media, people will simply believe all the rubbish that's being fed to them

pins 9 and 10 together, can cause problems in the future. best to use pins 1 or 7 with 10. -- and only problems that exist with using RCM payloads for long time, is A) LCD Burn-in) and B) Battery Issues!

plus don't forgot the #1 thing, the USB C to C or A cable MUST have the 56k ohm resistor in place, or damage could occur!

I generally keep myself fairly involved with exploit documentation, and I haven't heard anything regarding degredation, here or from the grapevine. I find it odd a rumor is being addressed / responded to without knowledge of said rumor. Does anyone have a source of where this rumor came from, or where it was being discussed?

Is it safe to assume the USB C to A cables that come with the Pro Controllers are safe? I haven't really looked into this.

Yes, I use it and never had any issues, in fact the pro controller charger is the recommended cable for RCM.

 

[Haztel]

Good looking out for everyone @jjbredesen glad to hear that it's more safe to use.

Available a gamestop.com for $9.99 or $7.99 (Elite members). Totally worth it..as you get those sweet, sweet reward points.

Even better, you can now use reward points to get eshop credit.

Sounds good! Thanks both of you. I was using this, so its good to hear that it is a safe one.

 

[SimonMKWii]

Well no shit, that would be like saying an audio driver could blow your Switch's speakers!
Oh wait... I kiiinda said that...

 

[Tanmays007]

I think it's safe to assume the only reason reputed reswitched team (allegedly) members said something like this is cause they were pissed that someone else released a working payload based on their work. Although it's understandable that they got pissed but spreading false rumours was beneath them. Also part of blames falls on the person who spread it further cause afaik the reswitched team member only said it *might* degrade SoC, IMO a *might* wasn't enough to simply go on spreading that it does without any hard evidence to back it up.

Also the other rumor of it soft-bricking devices seems BS to me.

There is something just so wrong about referring to forums as social media...

Just an opinion.
