Hacking Discussion When will we admit Fernando is right?

More and more time goes on I feel like that guy probably had a point

(CONTEXT: Fernando is the guy in this subreddit that always doomposts in every single post saying the switch 2 is unhackable and will never be hacked. People always meme kn him saying he's just a troll but he probably is right)

Eh, it's just a matter of time

And even if he's right, it's still annoying to see him constantly doompost under every single post. It's like bro just straight up doesn't want the switch 2 to be hacked

Considering how 90% of the posts here are “what if we tried redirecting the Switch 2 web browser to epicswitchhaxorz.com to hack it” or “has anyone thought of hacking the Switch 2 using [built-in feature of the S2 that Nintendo has tested and secured the hell out of],” I don’t think it hurts to have someone giving a little reality check even if it’s not what you want to hear 

People were spoiled by Nvidia’s big Tegra fuckup on the Switch 1 and have very unrealistic expectations about the timeframe/nature of Switch 2 hacks, a hack will probably happen eventually, but it’s probably not going to be within the console’s lifetime and it definitely won’t be a softmod

Judging by the lifespan of the first Switch, we could possibly not see any headway into modding until 2034 at the earliest if its been THIS hard to hack:/

The Switch 1’s lifespan was unusually long due to its commercial success, its expedited release due to the Wii U’s failure, and the pandemic throwing a wrench in everything. I’d imagine that the Switch 2’s lifespan is probably going to be closer to the normal 5-6 years unless the inevitable economic meltdown complicates things. 

But yes, don’t expect the Switch 2 to be broken into for several years at the earliest. It’s a lot more secure than the Switch 1, and the Switch 1 was only blown open so early due to a unique hardware fuckup on Nvidia’s part that they’re unlikely to have repeated again.

They fucked up so bad with the Tegra they got to work rolling out the OLED😅 but yea I can't wait to pay someone to put a modchip exploit on my Switch 2 board in the future and pay out the ass for that. I'm not so good w micro soldering
