Sweet! I'm happy with the price tbh.

I'll stick with the 20$ I paid for my zsun and usb-c adapter.
Working the openwrt sources right now to have it autoinject the IPL for me, just like TX's dongle does.
It's only a matter of time before TX's cfw gets pirated, but I am waiting for atmosphere.

Would the constant insertion of the dongle weaken the usbc port over time? That's something that puts me off the dongle method.

You only have to plug the dongle into the swich once per boot, just keep it in sleep mode and this won't be that much of an issue
 
Thats what girls ask me all the time

Got'em ha!

You have to insert stuff in it every time you charge it.

Well yeah, but I could see this as being used a lot more, or if you think about it, doubling up on the wear and tear of the port.

Is it healthy keeping it in sleep mode though? The Vita tends to have some issues when kept in sleep mode for extended periods of time. I realise you don't need to with the Vita anymore but in Enso's early days, it sometimes caused problems.

The current hekate exploits crashes when the switch goes into sleep mode, but since TX SX is a commercial solution, we can expect the sleep mode to work, I don't see why it wouldn't.
Anyways, usb-c is more resistant to wear and tear than classic micro-usb, I don't think this would be much of an issue here.

He's talking about the zero insertion force connector rail in the right joycon slot. Those are not made to have foreign objects jammed into them over and over again. A modded joycon with a switch would be much healthier for the console over time.

Oh, my bad, but still, I don't think that inserting a plastic jig into a metal rail would do any harm tho

Edit: I just double checked, he was actually talking about the usb-c port.

Website down. News coming soon :)

I take my Switch out and put it in the charger once or twice a day, but I've only turned it off about 3 times (twice because the game had an error).

Oh, I like to change the language of my console, often. Because... (?)
The thing is I switch it between Spanish, English and German, depending what language I want to play a game in. PS: Zelda BOTW in Spanish is best as @Saiyan Lusitano once said, took some time to accept the fact.

Sure it is not a problem for a normal sane user, but the console insists to reboot each time you change the language.

I like how in every language other than english, mipha does not sound like a wispy high pitched tea kettle that graduated the william shatner school of acting. (Really hate miphas english voiceovers. Worst female voiceacting ever.)
 
You dont need to put website down to update news or products ;)
Its most likely due to the people spamming it

No they stated, that a new website will come... And the forum was closed till that, so no spamming was possible.

You don't have to tell me that I don't have to take the page down to write a news article :D

That's great. Whatever works for you.
I'm thinking from the perspective that, it's not just the hardware but also the software that I am investing in. I'm sure other cfw will catch up.

That's interesting to know, I've only just picked up a switch so am fairly new to the hardware. First thing I did was to order a new docking shell which will use the official pcb and docking connector which I believe has some sort of tension spring to avoid damage to the Switch's charging port. Anyway, it's early days I guess, but I think at this point I'd prefer to run the payload from my mobile.
