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)

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"

It's such bullshit that an automatic triggered brick is legal, but unfortunately every single right-to-repair law has been gutted by

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.

I'm considering waiting in line for it tomorrow just for the fun of it (last time I waited in line for a console was the Wii in 2006 or so and that was a fun time).
The actual system, however, doesn't particularly excite me. It's basically waiting in line for the latest Mario Kart, when it comes down to it.
I'll probably do the line just for the social aspects of it, but yeah, not sure how "worth it" it is. Especially if I end up not getting one because Best Buy didn't get anywhere near as many as they predicted, or something. They're saying 80-100 per store in extra ones (i.e. above the pre-order counts).

I only want to get one in person at Target to get my 5% redcard off vs my walmart preorder ;-)
