@Einherjar This is very sad.Everything in the world can be hacked as long still made by human (except if made by GOD)The main important here is our self control against hacked stuffs.If we know that hacked items has illegal purpose, if we still have kindness and respect inside our heart, we will not think hacking the system is a good idea. People who has no respect with author will keep doing their actions. As long it's free even by illegal way, they will keep doing that.That's our lesson to not get temptated so easily with "Sinfully Matters" in the world.
So the software isn't even usable by gamers outside public WiFi logins and it was still hacked in ten seconds flat? Yeah, being able to order pizza from a console looks increasingly more worth the headache. :V
NEStalgia hacked
I remember that my first (hardware) hack was to an Atari controller in 1982. I rewire the fire button in space invaders, granting me a second laser shoot when moving, so it seemed like it was a double shoot! Then it was Kaboom and many others games that they were hacked.
Isn't this less "Switch hacked" and more "old Webkit exploit is old"? I think this probably strengthens Nintendos position on "no web browser" if anything though. Fine the hackers can root the system and install Debian on it or whatever it is they want to do, but Joe User isn't going to be going to a URL in the browser to get unlimited snails and an all swim-speed-up set and keeping Joe User away from the browser is a good defense against any widespread uncontrollable issues like that from Nintendo's perspective (and they're technically right.)
I really don't think there is anything anyone can do to stop devices being hacked. People will always find a way. All these companies can do is release a new update that hacked consoles won't be able to use until someone finds a new way to crack it. These people take it as a personal challenge to find a way into devices again and again. It must make them feel intelligent, when they outthink software developers and find a way in. If that's their thing, whatever. I want nothing to do with it.
@Anti-Matter @PlywoodStick Funny how a thread about the Nintendo console being hacked turns into an international philosophical debate mirroring the ideas around the founding of the US The idea they came up with then was that basically, nobody can or should ever be trusted with power, nobody can or should ever be trusted with self restraint around power, not even themselves, and yet, authority figures were required to prevent the chaos that would result from everybody having absolute power over themselves, but a complex system needed to be designed to constrain that power, not by external force (through which the clever power consumed would circumvent) but by chequing that power by putting numerous different people and groups of people all seeking their own power and pitting their ambitions against each other in a never ending circle.
@Stocksy I could easily do this too and I have never cheated in a game or hacked one. Not saying I am clever and thats the scary and annoulying part. Nintendos lack of forsight when it comes to online is quite astonishing, especially when you consider they will start charging soon. 2ff7e9595c
