@emma it's also why they are going way more hardcore with the "break our rules for online user engagement and we brick your entire console" thing

I hope somebody finds a jailbreak that disables the killswitch.
My switch is already permanently console banned from Nintendo online, but it's not bricked. My assumption is that we'll have to wait for mod chips. I don't think they're gonna do something as silly as forget to close the RCM back door this time. Probably safe to assume it will be an Efuse. They will probably try to make it harder to do emunand this time around as well. I wonder if they're still going to keep using the same horizon OS or make something new for a change.

@mitchconner @emma @Hoss as far as i can tell, the OS is exactly the same. but it could theoretically be a different OS with a switch 1 skin over it.

Yeah, so if it's the same stuff, then it just a matter of mod-chipping it and then porting the atmosphere kernel replacement, whatever that is called. I forget what it's called off the top of my head. But if people can get atmosphere running on the new switch with the open source kernel, then things will be fine.

OK fine I'll look it up. Oh the kernel is called mesophere. I think this is the only open-source project I can think of that has been able to create a kernel that can replace the existing one on a proprietary OS like that, aside from like some other crazier projects for older Windows versions. https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/tree/master/mesosphere

@mitchconner @emma @Hoss i have no doubt in my mind that the modding community will be working overtime to try and get shit cracked on the switch 2.
