Comment on How Nintendo locked down the Switch 2’s USB-C port and broke third-party docking
Omegamint@hexbear.net 3 weeks agoI won’t even consider buying one until they’re fully hackable. Until then I’d rather invest in my steamdeck and PC.

I have the mindset that I buy one for the lowest firmware, because nintendo always has people trying to hack it (successfully). Nintendo has very low investment in actually trying to get a proper OS engineer design their OS security. Youd basically have to go as far back as the fucking virtual boy to look for something non exploitable, and thats just because no one bothered with it.

I’ve considered buying one to hack later, the only issue is generally being locked in to low firmwares and thus only the games on those firmwares, unless they figure out some sort of hack later on.
Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if the switch 2 ends up requiring a hard mod down the road but I’ve decided I’m not going to worry about any of it until it materializes.
