apparently the switch 2 bricks itself if there are voltage irregularities in the chip, sounds sus because they ended the post with “nintendo is taking the hacker to small claims court”
but also voltage is not stable, because battery degradation.

update: they were probably devkits, and the people who were fucking with it were NDA’d testers.

@shroomie So there were some people that got access to Switch 2 consoles from Nintendo under a test program and they were trying to dump the firmware by physically reading the flash chip contents. While doing so the chip got fried and the system was bricked, claiming the system has some sort of “voltage abnormality detection system” to brick the console.
this is all alleged and no clue if it’s true.

@shroomie There’s holes upon holes in the story.
This method of circumvention protection is not market tested, only tested in closed, internal environments. Nintendo would have to be really stupid to build a device with a built in timed self destruct as that’s quite literally a universal class action in the waiting.
Then there’s the case of the people involved are also implied to be testers under a private agreement with Nintendo, so Nintendo wouldn’t take them to small claims court for a mere $2,500 nor would they just ask for the cost of the device. They’d sue. They have sued for less.
