Wait, you can change the date of the console and you then have access to other games?

Didn't even know about the HDMI switch issues with the Switch. Might explain why when I'm on my ps4 the signal will randomly cut out then come back on after a few seconds and for sometimes the audio via arc stops working too. Only noticed it once I hooked up my Switch to the hdmi switch.

Yep! A bunch of us are playing Splatoon 2 already. Join us on discord!
I think you better edit your post, I believe it's not strictly speaking allowed to take advantage of this exploit.

hey, look, it's the fun police.
For those struggling with the automatic HDMI switching issue (seems to vary per TV/AV Receiver) this is a workaround that fixed it for me:

Switch the match TV power state option off:
All this does is disable HDMI-CEC signals. If your TV has a bad HDMI implementation, no setting will fix it.
I don't think they said that themselves, John Linneman from DF made the interview with them and came to that conclusion iirc.
Anyway Zelda uses dynamic scaling resolution in some points as well so maybe when they fix the GPU drain the resolution won't drop anymore.
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but 2.1.0 doesn't let you use the joycon wirelessly when the Switch is undocked and Flight Mode is turned on. This wasn't the case in 2.0.0. On 2.0.0 last night I was playing with the joycon wirelessly with Flight Mode enabled. Tonight on 2.1.0, not working.
I've noticed the same. No real pattern to when it does it .
Should be pretty stable.
Lol this is my favorite one.

Nope. This just prevents the Switch from turning on my TV and receiver when I wake it up. It'll still cause HDMI inputs to switch when I'm using other devices.
Oddly enough as a result I only ever take the Switch out of the dock to play Horizon.
You should be able to manually turn on bluetooth when turning on flight mode. Basically, an option for toggling bluetooth appears below flight mode after you turn flight mode on. Before removing the joy-cons you must manually turn on bluetooth for it to work. This still works. For me, the same thing happened before the update btw.
This was always the case. There are options in the system menu that let you individually turn Bluetooth, WiFi and NFC back on.
It says under bluetooth that it will automatically be turned back on even if airplane mode is set when you dock the system again.
If you go into Airplane Mode settings and flip it on or dock your system, Bluetooth will turn on.
I'll give it a try in the morning. Thanks.

Internet Archive ROM Launcher + Kodi... just saying, this is REALLY not something worth giving two shits about unless you must have the switch form factor.
I'm playing Metroid Prime 4: NeXus.

Please fix my RGB range.
Zomg Nintendo upgraded the battery capacity by 20% with the update!!!
That's strange, I assumed it wasn't fixed, as they're still on WebKit 601.6, but it seems like they (or Netfront) patched the exploit without actually moving to a newer WebKit version. Perhaps it was simply the quicker option.
Here's the old browser user agent string:
"Mozilla/5.0 (Nintendo Switch; WifiWebAuthApplet) AppleWebKit/601.6 (KHTML, like Gecko) NF/4.0.0.5.9 NintendoBrowser/5.1.0.13341"
And here's the new one as of 2.1.0:
"Mozilla/5.0 (Nintendo Switch; WifiWebAuthApplet) AppleWebKit/601.6 (KHTML, like Gecko) NF/4.0.0.5.10 NintendoBrowser/5.1.0.13343"
The Battery indicator seems to be all over the place for me. Sometimes I switch off my switch, put it away (not in the dock) and when I switch it on again, the Battery percentage actually increased.......

I wonder if the "web browser" can now play Youtube videos for more than thirty seconds without crashing.
What? I can play Youtube videos without any problems. What method are you using?

Affer stability patch
How do I uninstall the patch? Definitely don't want that!
24 games vs. what, 700-800 plus another 300 BC games? I'll take that for now.

has this really turned into a console wars thread?
It would be nice if they would start adding back apps like Netflix, a browser, etc. It's a tablet ffs. Hopefully they're working on it.
ok

Don't worry, you'll be able to repurchase your entire retro collection from scratch again in due time.

I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time they've cherry picked WebKit patches.
