Future-proof is so vague here..

Everything is vague here..

Hardware Hacks aren't entirely future proof...

Sigh...

Sigh...

Sorry, but they're not.

 

[OctolingRift]

Sorry, but they're not.

Sorry, but they are

Sorry, but they are

Sorry, but they can't.

Hardware Hacks aren't entirely future proof...

It entirely depends on the hardware exploit. Not all hardware exploits are future proof, but they can be future proof. It entirely depends on how it works. I wouldn't think TX would specifically list that is they didn't know they could do it, but who knows. We have no info on it at all so no one can really say what it can/can't do.
Hardware revision is usually one of the few ways to guarantee a patch, but if it's in the nvidia chip you likely won't see that change

Replace "entirely" with "always". I was referring to them as a whole.

I was more just refining your point and adding an explanation.
I would hope TX wouldn't advertise as future proof without it being so. I don't think by future proof they mean consistent across all hardware revisions, but rather consistent across all firmwares for compatible systems (all of them until a revision gets pushed).

True that. It's a bold claim regardless. Guess we'll see.

It if future proof till a Hardware revision

Team Xecutor figured out Flux Capacitor, so yeah.. future proof!

 

[Astoria]

It can and will be patched by Nintendo. It will be funny to see how their "future-proof" claim vanishes eventually.

Fun fact: the claim that this is "future proof" is false. There are at least 2 ways their device can be rendered useless *without* an hardware revision, but I guess people will figure that out the "hard way". :P

I don't trust him. He basically stated his assumptions as fact, when no one, including him, actually knows how TX is doing their exploit. They just seem to be pissy that people may not use their 3.0.0 only exploit, and that the modchip opens up piracy.

But the Flux Capacitor requires 1.21 "Jigawatts" and in the future energy is scarce... so not future proof!

This is why you don't put security inside an SOC and also provide all the info for free with the dev board. All information regarding Jetson TX1 can be acquired with a Nvidia account with no need of purchase.

 

[DeadlyFoez]

For me it was instant boot 99% of the times in the first dates, then it went down drastically in time (around 15% at the end, maybe lower)

I remember that some people were having those issues because they didn't clean off the flux after soldering.

But how many would? Coding is nothing like soldering.

 

[linuxares]

Sorry, but they are

That's not how it works. It all depends on how they a potential modchip use. Some can be rendered useless and even "brick" devices until the chip is deactivated/removed.

 

[mikey420]

It IS future-proof as it is a hardmod and not a softmod

It being a hardmod has absolutely nothing to do with being future proof. If the hack relied on a fixable part of the firmware an update could surely fix it rendering the mod useless. However given there "proof" I'd say they have exploited bootrom. If that's the case they are correct and an update can't fix the hack. If they however exploited anything else (updatable software) the hack cab and surely will be patched.
