yes you can CFW with 8.1.0, but if you bought your switch recently from a store, it is very likely that the hardware itself is unhackable (for now).
check your switch serial number if it's "unpatched".

Thanks since my switch is patched will there be any other way to hack it soon?
There is a good chance that an ipatched Switch on 8.1.0 will never be hackable. If you care about hacking your Switch, you should sell this one and get a new one that's unpatched. Always check the serial number before buying anything.

Alternatively, ipatched Switch systems on 4.1.0 (that have never connected to the internet) are hackable, but unpatched Switch systems are better.

Maybe he can sell the tablet and keep the accessories then just buy a tablet.

    Sorry, we don't speak that language here. :mellow:

    Sorry, the translator worked where it wasn't needed ahaha)

    ahaha very funny. only I am a developer and a master in laptop repair. I am not a fan of consoles, never repaired them, never played on them, and have no idea what you are talking about here. I just came to show you a tool that can simplify your work on modding PS4 and PS5 BIOS.

    If you do not need any tools, and you want to continue laughing and perform these tasks on modding BIOS slowly - do as you want.
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    I know that any thematic community can be very toxic to new people and will joke about them for any reason.
    But I am like that too, and I can joke too.

    Only I am from another field of activity, in which you do not understand absolutely anything, and there they will laugh at you if you come there for the first time.

    No offense, this is just a response to your jokes :)
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Help me get past the rules, or else I blackmail the PS community, is what you are saying? Well no getting past the rules here. If you want to post links, you must have a certain number of posts first, it prevents spammers.

    I don't want to bypass your rules on purpose.
    But I don't have the time or desire to make 5 posts on a forum unknown to me just to publish a link to an open source project.
    If you don't need it, just say so.
    I don't need any bypassing of the rules, and I especially don't need jokes at my expense.
    I'll even delete my topic entirely if yo
    u're not interested.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @lapot2, not so much trolls as just a little over a half dozen chumps who hang out in here regularly and chitchat about various things. Usually not even gaming lol. Hence it'd probably be better to just get a few posts and interact with the community a little bit so you can share the link directly :)

    the main thing is that I like your sense of humor, mine is also very well developed xD

    I already created a topic in the PS4 section a few hours ago
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    do you need help with your thread?

    and I also like being a fool and chatting in a chat about all sorts of nonsense more than
    sitting silently with a smart face:rofl2:

    @DinohScene , I created a topic a long time ago, but I couldn't attach links to it to GitHub with materials for self-assembly of the device and a short review.
    that's why I wrote to this chat later :D
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    report the thread you made and write down what links you'd want me to attach to the OP as the report reason, I'll take care of it immediately ;)

    The open version, although it does not have many conveniences, but even without them it will be more convenient to work than with any other tools like ch341 and ezp2023.
    Well, the full version is still impossible to get in Europe, so this is not even an advertisement for a paid device)
