This is borderline victim/customer blaming though...

No standard or guidelines? The holy wars of semantic versioning spilled blood for nothing
?!?A lot of people abuse versioning for marketing purposes or misuse it, but that does not mean there are no standards
.I tried it this morning and had no issue whatsoever. I mean it reset to automatic or whatever, but when i set it to surround and tested, every channel worked accordingly. Maybe it depends o the receiver?

It seems like the system menu test is messed up with the sub and rear right channels being switched. In game it's fine though. I sat next to the rear right speaker playing some ARMS and directional crowd sounds/power up bleeps were playing properly.

You need to update the adapter first and it's only Mayflash's

Netflix support is completely unrelated to firmware, it would be an app that you download, not part of the system OS. You should ask Netflix why they havent written a Switch app yet, thats mostly unrelated to Nintendo except for access to dev kits.

Come on, Nintendo clearly doesn't want the Switch to be anything but a Switch game running machine for now. Netflix would be there yesterday if they could.
I'm sure it will be a big thing when Nintendo announces media capabilities for the Switch (browser, Netflix, maybe music, etc).
Tried an arcade stick with a Brook Universal Fighting Board installed, and doing the 1K mode to enable Wii U compatibility (for emulating the Pokkén controller) works perfectly with the Switch.
Unfortunately, there was no Home button functionality on that pad, so Home doesn't do anything on the stick. I guess you still need to have a separate controller handy to get back to the main menu. Hopefully Brook will do another firmware update like when they added Wii U support.
Kinda trippy playing Mario Kart like a 4-button Neo Geo game, lol.

Do you have a source for this info? I mean, its Netflix that would develop the app, not Nintendo, do you have a quote from Netflix saying Nintendo was blocking them? Do you have a quote from Nintendo clearly saying they didnt want any non-gaming apps on the system? All I know of was where they were asked about a web browser (which *would* be a Nintendo-supplied part of the OS that would eat up developer resources), and they responded that they wanted to concentrate on making games for now.

The HDMI fix is great! Just tried it this morning. I have my Switch and Wii U hooked to the same "slot" on my receiver. The Switch is HDMI and the Wii U is Component, HDMI always takes priority. If I was playing something on the Wii U the Switch would cause the screen to blank out for a good minute or so. My fix was just removing the Switch from the dock while I was playing the Wii U. Now I don't have to do that!

If you dont see a thread then its not
No, but the Hori Wii U Pokkén pad now gets treated as a Wired Switch Pro Controller at an OS level. Finally having a usable D-pad for USFII is nice until I get a Switch arcade stick or a converter.

Or do you think there's a conspiracy for why there aren't any multimedia apps on a device with the adoption rate of the Nintendo Switch? 3rd party apps or not, Nintendo has full control over what's published on the platform, and right now they want people to buy and play games on it, especially Nintendo Switch games - this has been a rather clear message.
No doubt it will come though, when the moment justifies it. Just like Virtual Console / Nintendo classics.

I'm actually getting good speeds on the Internet Test, full 3-signal strength and Switch automatically uses 5 Ghz now after the patch.
Most pleased with this, they also changed the sounds during the test.

Hot damn! This is good news!
So do I need to turn off the lower max headphone volume setting to get the louder volume?

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
You didn't prove him wrong, really, Nintendo said focusing on games with a stock answer but that's not stopping Netflix etc. From Coming on the system, now its possible that they have communicated with nintendo to launch things like netflix, crunchyroll, the browser etc. All at once At a certain point, but I'm pretty sure Nintendo refused to give them devkits

Not actually that important
Wish miiverse would come back... what a waste I wonder if that's because of the touch-screen's change in tech but even so you could still "draw" even if not as good...
At least give me a freaking browser, I hate needing my phone anyway when in bed with the Switch

Netflix doesn't even run in HD on most tablets right now (same with Amazon prime video and WWE Network), so don't expect wonders here.
Wifi antennas can operate at different power levels. You can run a wifi antenna at lower power but it's not going to have the range of wireless devices running at full power.
I imagine Nintendo boosted the power level to the Switch's wireless antenna (possibly to the maximum level). Of course that means that using the Wifi will eat the battery faster.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Sounds more like taking responsibility for your action.
You knew what it offered, why buy it if you're not satisfied with the features.

Ah yeah I thought of that too, makes sense.

Am I crazy or is the wifi a bit better now?!

Not if the current state of the OS blocks connections outside the Nintendo network. That would require a firmware update. That and a number of other possible scenarios would.

Got two crashs since this update, had only two before, since launch.
First it crashed while putting it to sleep on the dock (Zelda was running), it showed a crash message on the TV and the screen at the same time.
And later it crashed when I wanted to quit ARMS, UI was unresponsive, only the 3 sec power button press would get the shutdown UI, but it did nothing, I had to press power for 12 sec to restart it.

You say this like customers shouldn't be blamed when they complain about something they bought not having the features they want. When you can easily research what is included in a product you don't get to play the victim when you buy it anyway.
Anyone notice this? Prior to Firmware 3.0, if my Switch was in sleep mode, and I bought a digital title via Nintendo's web site at my computer, I'd have to wake up the Switch for it to start to download the title.
However, after updating to Firmware 3.0, I bought Cave Story last night at my computer, and an hour later when I picked up my Switch and powered it on from sleep mode, the game was already downloaded.

Before 3.0 it already worked, at least with demos, got one from the website while at work, and it was installed when I went back home.

Two things I immediately noticed today:
1) The Switch wakes up faster from sleep mode, definitely snappier in most instances.
2) The video player/web applet video player in the News channel no longer displays undersaturated colours. That Mario Odyssey trailer looks even better now on the Switch's screen.

The WiiU worked the same way, you could.buy on the site and it would download to the console even in the powered off red light state.
The real.game changer is the headphone volume being increased. I want to play everything in headphones now! The WiiU gamepad and 3ds were soooo quiet even at max.
what site?
