Depends on what side of the fence you're on. If you dislike F0F, then it's just them being shitty and there is no relevance because they won't release any data regarding this. If they DID release it, it could put new exploits out into the market that no one has available to them, or didn't know about.So what's the significance of this? I'm no hacking expert, but I can install Linux on my laptop with relative ease, why would I want it on the Switch?
I understand if it's just a for-fun hacking project, and if that's the case, well, you do you then.
The really interesting part, imo, is the modchip thingy being used in the picture, leading me to believe that this is a coldboot Linux launch.So what's the significance of this? I'm no hacking expert, but I can install Linux on my laptop with relative ease, why would I want it on the Switch?

You think they've figured out how to hijack the booting process from launch? B9s style?The really interesting part, imo, is the modchip thingy being used in the picture, leading me to believe that this is a coldboot Linux launch.
I personally find this part the most interesting.
I am pretty sure they have.You think they've figured out how to hijack the booting process from launch? B9s style?
its literally a joycon.the interesting part is that they are using a dongle that is connecting to the right joycon port.
Really? I've seen plenty of teardown videos, that dongle doesn't look like part of the mainboard.its literally a joycon.
looks like a ftdi serial port with a ldo voltage regulator, probably for sending data or debugging.The really interesting part, imo, is the modchip thingy being used in the picture, leading me to believe that this is a coldboot Linux launch.

I think they're spoofing the JoyCon ping data with a microcontroller rather than just a TTL to USB. JoyCons use SPI to communicate while connected to the console.looks like a ftdi serial port with a ldo voltage regulator, probably for sending data or debugging.

I mean I don't mind waiting for the deja vu TrustZone exploit to be patched in 4.1.1/5.0.0/whatever so it can be released but when it's a hacking group that doesn't release anything then I wouldn't even bother waiting for a release in the first place.The Sad thing about all hacking scenes and why we will never get releases from any of these hackers is the fear of "oh no my precious exploit will be immediately patched and nobody will be able to use it because all consoles will just come with newer firmware and users wont be able to use it on their existing consoles because please dont just update so you cant use it". Thats my opinion on the matter and sadly it will never change because none of the actions of any of these hackers groups have shown me otherwise.
The moral of the story simply put, share your work and if it gets patched so be it. At least you gave others enjoyment with what you started. And who knows it might even be useful in finding newer exploits if we already have a way in. But thats just my useless opinion on the matter and everyone will push it to the side or ignore it. The choice is yours.

If they at least give a hint on how to achieve it like some other groups where other hackers then study and get the same result...I do understand that, but for me I see it as a opportunity for other hackers to try and get working. Whether that happens or not..well, it's hard to say. Even though eventually (probably another year or so) it will happen.
