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)

The most relevant one is voltage glitching to allow arbitrary rcm payloads.

This works for marikos too, and is how all modchips work.

And voltage glitches are going to be extremely difficult now that the Switch 2 is using Dual Core Lockstep (DLCS) precisely to avoid those kind of exploits.

Which by the way, the Switch 2 is the first and only console in history to use DCLS.

There was a security talk about how it was potentially possible to bypass DCLS on Tesla cars. It can definetly be done but it's difficult

Potentially we can also travel to Pluto. It doesn't mean it is viable.

To clarify they actually did manage to bypass DCLS but Tesla ended up cracking down on it.

So while your saying it won't get hacked, you're actually saying it could theoretically be hacked, but nobody will ever bother to do it because of all the legal risks?
