A new Nintendo Switch firmware update is on the horizon. System software version 15.0.0 is available to download now, bringing only some minor updates that include the traditional stability, and Bluetooth and Ethernet related tweaks. Given the major new firmware number, there's not much to see here, although it does break support with Atmosphere CFW. 15.0 apparently patches a kernel bug, though SciresM is already working on getting Atmosphere working with the new update as soon as possible.

I'll be working to get Atmosphere updated for 15.0.0 as soon as I possibly can. https://t.co/k1jDhmD2h5

There was also patched Bluetooth joycons exploit that helps defeating ASLR, but we had also other exploits that can do the same. It doesn't expand possible exploit chain. It just gives more FWs available to this kind of exploit.

That's true! Still must be a trust zone exploit (I think it was called?) to have full access

Usually an atmosphere update to support a new firmware will be pushed out asap and won't contain many changes beyond that firmware support, and whatever small fixes/changes were already done but weren't worth an updated release on their own. Not likely to get any big new features unless they were coincidentally planned for immediate release anyway.

Maybe you haven't been around that much, there were usually goodies.

I've been around the whole time, tho to be fair, my memory's not that reliable

We usually don't get any update until there is a new HOS. He kept the goodies. I think unforced release is less than a hand full.

Nintendo really has made the Switch the most boring system out there. Yet another major number jump and literally nothing of value was added.

Reminder that the switch is supposed to have hard drive support

Or how about fricken themes. Themes would be nice.

Literally anything interesting would be nice. The Switch has continued to have the most boring updates and honestly be the most boring system. Nintendo really just made this innovation of merging handheld and home, then just stopped there.

Man these people whining about themes... Do you guys look at your background that long before deciding to play a game?

I only want a pure black theme as it would be very useful for the OLED models, the current black theme looks grayish and the OLED screens, for some reason, converts gray tones to grainy colored garbage.

That's a point I don't understand either....

It's exactly the same as the Wii U with the title limit (maybe a stupid example, but whatever). The users are so obsessed with getting around this limit. That baffles me. Because that can be easily "fixed" by simply deleting titles. But seems to be too simple for some humans.

But how long do you watch the background before booting a game? That's the whole spiel I don't understand. Why would Nintendo put down resources for something people use for 2-3 seconds?

We only "whine" since it seemed pretty obivious that we were (or at least was planned until it got lost) going to get some additional themes given the "basic black" and "basic white" options. 3ds had themes, even using the same naming convention. "Basic (color)" with basic being nothing special other than changing the color.

It's exactly the same as the Wii U with the title limit (maybe a stupid example, but whatever).

It's not the same. One is a intended limitation. The other is clearly a feature that was at somepoint meant to be expanded upon.

well, you know you could say the same thing about desktop backgrounds on a pc, yet most people want something that fits their personality even if they see it like 5 percent of the time.

I think I see it less than that x3

well, I think the point is a little customization. we live in a world where everything is customized, even if you don't want it to be.

Except the Switch!
It's to stable for that!

well, you could say that ps5 doesn't have themes either, and the series x ones are like 10 of 'em or so. and, don't get me started on the bullshit folder system. I haven't found such an option with the series x, and the ones on the ps5 and the switch are a joke.

when correcting some grammar or typos warrants an update, we know we're in trouble.

Because it gives people something to complain about
