A brand new Nintendo Switch with longer battery is in the store. Should I buy it and save it for the future hackable ? I have an old version and I want a newer one or should I wait for a rumour Nintendo Switch PRO next year ?
The chances of it ever becoming hackable are currently looking slim to none, so I wouldn't put anything on thatShould I buy it and save it for the future hackable ?

SciresMReally ? How do you know ?
It doesn't work like that. Efuses prevent downgrades, with basically no way to bypass it once they are burnt without an exploit early in boot. Not impossible, but currently very unlikely.Isn't there a lower firmware hack that doesn't involve RCM currently? The hackers just have to find a new exploit or somehow downgrade the firmware first, it's a big thing yeah, but it's unpredictable and it can happen either sooner or much later. In any case though, hacking wise, it's not wise to make a purchase on the new Switch; especially with the chances of a Pro model coming.

the hope for newer switches been hackable i ve seen maybe with @m4xwdev as he seems to research it atm

Who is he? It seems like he does emulator and homebrew stuff primarily, hard to say if he can find an exploit.
Oh nice, sounds promising then.

Maybe newer switches will be hackable. Only time will tell.
They are, everything is. Just the amount of time it would take for one to appear is unpredictable.
Meaning?
I think people working on security are not aiming for 100% efficiency. Their more realistic goal is to make it so hard to crack the device that it would take years to achieve, and if it is cracked eventually, it would be near the end-of-life, therefore greatly limiting the damage done. Is the XBOX One cracked yet? If not, their security staff did a great job, as the end-of-life is coming up.Every device is hackable, nothing can be made 100% secure. Just the amount of time it would take for someone to find a hole in its security is unpredictable, is what I was saying.
