A new Nintendo Switch firmware update is on the horizon. System software version 15.0.0 is available to download now, bringing only some minor updates that include the traditional stability, and Bluetooth and Ethernet related tweaks. Given the major new firmware number, there's not much to see here, although it does break support with Atmosphere CFW. 15.0 apparently patches a kernel bug, though SciresM is already working on getting Atmosphere working with the new update as soon as possible.
I'll be working to get Atmosphere updated for 15.0.0 as soon as I possibly can. https://t.co/k1jDhmD2h5
I think the point is offer something of value to give someone incentive to update. not this rearranging crap or system stability shit. I mean if they hold back for fear of exploits, then there's something really wrong with the company. to care so much about a userbase, who aren't buying your games and factor at a fraction of 1%, as opposed to the 99% who are, is fucked up. someone in upper management needs to be fired. that's just not the way to conduct business.
"patches a kernel bug" is likely to give hope to the multitude who have a patched Switch and don't like the idea of installing a modchip, but the next thing you'll see is them complaining they accidentally updated to 15.0.
although I own around 200 games on the switch, that was mostly due to having not owned either other console, at least that wasn't exploited, and I wasn't about to update. my main now is the ps5, and it's the same for some of my friends as well, like @Hayato213 and @Glyptofane . the switch just seems to offer very little outside of exclusives. however, it's a very stable console no pun intended. the series x, while I love dev mode and retail apps (not having to exploit the system for homebrew), I have a lot of problems with sleep mode, black screens, no sound, etc, like Microsoft are a bunch of idiots. the ps5, while it did have some issues on earlier firmware, seems to be pretty solid now. I've also grown accustomed to trophies after not playing games for about 15 years, since they kinda show your progress through the game without you having to look it up (don't use guides). the only thing the switch has is cloud saving, and while I think they'll have bc with the next system after the switch, there are no guarantees. I like to have some sort of fingerprint, which is why I like trophies. I don't want them for bragging rights, just to know that I've completed everything for the most part. and, you already know about my issues with the series x. I mean quick resume doesn't even work with every game, and the problems I've had are from the normal power off, are unacceptable for a company worth as much as they are. I have no problems with the switch or the ps5. that's my two cents.

and, mind you, having to shell out the same for a gimped switch version as opposed to a ps4 or even ps5 version, which in every case but the last of us has been the same price, is bull shit. it makes no sense whatsoever. I'm a legit user, and I must say I'm very disappointed in Nintendo, more so than the other two.
Ooh so many updates already on the 15.0 branch. 11 commits so far while 14.0 branch had 41 commits. I honestly will probably wait for 15.1 since it's a pain to update multiple sd cards.
I'd probably call any exploit I find something silly but not pretentious sounding like that, y'know? I'd have named it Banner Bomb Rush Blush or something, both as a funny Wii reference and Splatoon reference. Or maybe something relating to how it relies on the RCM, and being tethered to a PC? Or considering how you "inject" payloads, it could've had a drug/needle related name? Like maybe NotMedicine™? (reference to a running gag in many gmod vids)
If my Mariko switch still has firmware 14.1.2 flashed on it and I don't flash 15.0.0, would there be a THEORETICAL chance, no matter how small or tiny, of installing homebrew? If not full homebrew, at least partial?
