In which case you might as well just say that normal usage of the console has a brick risk, because you're using it and things will wear down
The points I mentioned have literaly nothing to do with normal wear.
Possible risks connected to flashcarts are low-probability and manageable. But denying downsides is like closing the eyes to make problems disappear.

why anyone would keep using outdated tech like carts.
"Because they want to!"
should suffice as an answer once and for all. Nobody has to justify themselves or subordinate themselves to a majority for whatever reason.
All the arguments against Syk3DS+ and the like are well-known and have been repeated so often in this forum that it comes near a religious zeal.
One of the few things I don't like on GBAtemp is how people are treated that disagree with this majority "objective and obvious" truth.
==========


Tolerance and accepting people as they are isn't for everyone. If one disagrees on technological topics, they get mercilessly treated like some kind of moron. It is easy to dismiss my critique and euphemize bad behavior denying the underlying problem. I'm already used to this, but I will not allow this to silence me.

It is up to anybody to decide what they want and what not. It is not my (or anybody else's) job to tell people what they have to prefer if there is more than one way to achieve a goal.

Please don't preach to me. I don't care. The debate on flashcart vs cfw was settled years ago when cfw won. I am going to advocate for people to save their money and their system's overall health by going cfw.
People are free to make mistakes and use carts but that doesn't mean we shouldn't discourage them away from carts.

If ppl want console to not wear, then not buy it.
It would wear and one day it would die, that's a sad truth...

That is a very childish outlook but you are entitled to it

CFW won, I mean it's cfw! It's give you more freedom for piracy.
No region lock, homebrew, plugins, cheats, amiibos, save dumping and other cool stuff.
BUT best thing is emunand, if nand would die you would have backup of all your stuff on sd card - if sd card would die first then dawn... You lost everything\most of things
There no war for it, ppl decide for themself what better to use - that's all.
Cartridge do same things as other cartridges, load specific games only
(if we talk about 3ds cartridges, there not many of them anyway)

Considering Luma3ds is still being updated to this very day, I would say that's a victory.
But I really don't want to keep debating this. I hope OP's friend saves their money. If not, I am sure someone who isn't me will be willing to help with their future cart.

I agree that they are free to make their own choices, even if people disagree with those choices. So I will step away from this thread.
