Anyone having any luck finding a hackable switch in Canada? I hear best buy had a bunch, checked every bestbuy in my city and ordered one from bestbuy.ca. None of them were for sure safe

Someone just brought a Switch to me, with Serial number XAJ1003xxxx, and it was a patched unit. Bought from a brick and mortar store. I didn't ask for the stock firmware version, but even if I did, they didn't seem like they'd remember.

Added an F.A.Q to the OP. Does anyone has suggestion which other questions I should include?
Imo the tutorial on checking patched units is bad. No one will bother checking their units if steps list something like "insert your jig" "boot into RCM" without properly explaining what it means AND what it looks like. There is link for entering a "Recovery Mode" but how would a new comer make a connection to "RCM". If anything it should be abbreviated "RM", or written as "Recovery Mode(RCM)".

Best if you can include a video tutorial on how to check if the switch is patched or not from youtube or something. With different methods of entering into RCM. Many would not bother buying a jig just to check if their unit is patched or not.

Then it's their loss. :rolleyes: Buying a jig or even a payload injector like ns-atmosphere (which comes with its own jig) is a good investment for someone who is trying to get a Switch to hack it. Even if the first Switch he gets is patched, he'll keep looking for an unpatched unit. Worse case scenario if he never finds an unpatched Switch... he's out a few bucks.

Thank you everyone who posted about their switch code, i was able to purchase a switch from a store very easy ( literally first checked was this serial ) .
Now i just have to wait for my SX OS to arrive.
If you use this site to check serials, please post yours if you buy one, it helps other people.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
