It is a feature to always show the headers as you scroll.
Select the first three rows and then View -> Freeze -> Up to current row.

Not sure why google sheets doesn't allow changing the view just for my account ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
He's not the one in charge of the Google spreadsheet.

The first post is not very helpful, it basically says they do not know, then the spread sheet has conflicting reports, it says anything below 40053 is hackable but in the spread sheet someone has 400479 and its patched
Then there is no way for the rest of us to know because the OP is the community compilation of all the serial numbers and whether they are patched or not.

Someone with this serial could tell me if it is valid XAJ400497

Is that the listing of the first page is contradictory and without logic
This serial appears as unpatched XAJ400627XXXXXX and instead it is patched
XAJ400479xxxxx

Thanks for your help.

What are you talking about? The first post says its patched.
Serials beginning with XAJ4:
XAJ4004600X and below are safe to buy
XAJ4004700X and above not safe to buy, possibly patched
XAJ4006000X and above definitely patched

That’s exactly the reason why it’s possibly patched. From a certain point on, patched units were introduced, while unpatched one still exist. That’s is true for all assembly lines and not a reporting error.

It says it is possibly patched, it is also outdated and on both Team Xecuters page and the Spreadsheet in the OP it says anything below 40053 is safe
You got it backwards, the Xecuter and Spreadsheet is outdated. If we find only one patched Switch under the “Safe boarder”, the boarder needs to be corrected downwards. So the lowest boarder is always the most up to date.

I don't know why on Earth you're referring to the link when the TL;DR section is not only more up-to-date but accurate.

Alright well can you tell me this, does the numbers after 40047 matter, because that is 400479 that is "Patched" and mine is a 400476?

Someone with this serial knows if it is compatible with fusée gelée XAJ400497
No body can tell you as it's in the grey are between safe and patched. Some with 48 were unpatched. I myself have 40047x but don't have access to it so no idea if its patched or not. It's just luck

I see in the unpatched serial numbers that XAJ100277 is unpatched. Mine is XAJ100279. Just 2 numbers higher. Should it be safe or hard to tell without testing? Thanks for your help.
