> switch line is nearly impossible

Nah. Switch 1 is already compromised and I'd predict we'll see modchips for the Switch 2 in the next 3 years.



Sorry, I should've specified soft mods. iirc there's only been 1 softmod for the switch that was patched out extremely early on before we knew about it


You're partially right, only the first revision of the Switch 1 could be hacked without modchips, but those early revisions can't have a software patch as the exploit relied on a hardware bug (some design flaw in the NVIDIA Tegra SoC if I remember correctly).


I don't count that as a soft mod. I was referring to a webkit based exploit in early versions of the system software


Nah, Switch has been blown wide for almost a decade now.
