Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

Sounds cool until random people's shitty wiring in their apartments starts bricking these things.

It's not wall voltage, it's voltage at the chip. That is tightly regulated by the motherboard and power supply and they're detecting tiny changes from voltage bleed into testing tools.

2 days to switch launch. console apparently bricks if you try to explore the boot loader, a couple of hackers bricked their console the second they attached volt meters and stuff to chips so it may indeed be a nintendo console that takes years (if ever) to jailbreak.

already seeing performance is not gonna be anywhere close to ps5 much less a decent PC, but i don't think thats gonna be a surprise to anyone except nintendo-cultists. 40 fps on cyberpunk docked is weird since afaik the switch 2 wont do VRR in docked (one big reason to do 40 fps, syncs nicely with 120hz OLED panel)

It will probably be jail broken faster then you think.

Still waiting for word on the BIOS/ROM dumps of the systems OS/Hardware.

My Walmart Preorder actual charge hit today.

Was at BestBuy and Target for non-switch related stuff but wondered around, each had big spaces ready for all the switch 2 stuff, was kinda funny bc it seemed bare with many shelves "bare"

I cancelled my pre-order this morning. Death Stranding 2 out later this month. Mario Kart in the end just isn't enough for me to justify it.

It's such bullshit that an automatic triggered brick is legal, but unfortunately every single right-to-repair law has been gutted by lobbying bribery from the ESA. Even Colorado's law which is by far the strictest in the nation has an exception for consoles.

They're combating known exploits from the switch 1. When they sense a voltage variance across the spirom they're probably wiping it would be my guess. A consumer or even a repair tech would have no reason to probe that.
