Plus, what you're doing is EXACTLY what OP was talking about. He thinks the guy just used that trick to display a simple website. He doesn't believe there is actually an exploit being used there.
Hacking The Switch is NOT hacked.

To clarify because some people here seem to be confused:
Going to random web-pages and (obviously) executing javascript there has been possible for a while and is not hacking at all.
The new development is that there is an exploit for the web-browser which gives us some (very limited) permissions. That is an actual hack exploiting a known vulnerability that exists on the switch because Nintendo shipped their console with an outdated browser-engine.
If you want to learn more about it here is some kind of proof of concept using this exploit that somebody made. (not doing anything useful yet but it proofs that the vulnerability exists on the switch)

Looks to me like its just a video being played in the switch browser. You didn't actually think it was hacked and able to play PS games right?

no that one is false. How do I know, well no one is able to work that fast. the only reason the webkit exploit was discovered on switch is because the ios hacker from 9.3.3 decided to test it by stripping down his ios code, and just having a webkit exploit, which lucky for him it worked.

There were code dumps ~48h after launch, the iOS dude was extremely late.
Oh yeah, totally forgot about that. Was this also through the web browser, or through some sort of hardmod?

What is the actual story? Is there a known vulnerability in the Switch or isn't there?
There's threads saying there is and threads saying there isn't. I'M SO CONFUSED

There is a vulnerability and since a few hours ago an easy way to exploit it to call system-functions as the webkit-process (still not really that useful for the end-user)

Right, the switch has a vulnerability, so I'm assuming the purpose of this thread is to unnecessarily point out the disparity between a console having a "vulnerability" and a console that is "hacked"
The two definitions have been interchangeable for as long as i can remember.
Well they better hurry.
It'll silently connect to any available open hotspot or Public Wifi with an access program, connect to Nintendo's servers using a specialized encryption channel and rotating IP addresses, and then automatically installs the update when it's analytic engine guesses you are away or asleep. There is a core function where on wake from sleep or startup it will connect to Nintendo's servers the same way and downloads a tool that detects currently used hacking shenanigans, such as spoofing the firmware version. If any is found it will download an up to date clean image and reset itself to factory defaults.

Doesn't work. It will still silently connect. Why do you think the Switch can only get 4 hours of battery at times?
