1. At the moment the switch has 7 fuses (from 1.0 - 6.0). They add fuses when the next major update comes/to patch a softmod.Just curious, wonder how many fuses a switch has? I know they are microscopic.
Just crazy, Nintendo purposely blow fuses to prevent downgrading firmware lol. Seems like that is still destruction of property.
2. They have actually done this to prevent downgrading. Although it doesn't look like it's been very successful. Once the sleep mode issue gets resolved then the fuses will be basically pointless (for hacked switches).
