lol why does it do that
lol why does it do that
that chicken's already on 4.0.0
did they patch in animal crossing yet?
Out of curiosity, if I bought a switch now, will it be "fixeD" regarding the joy con issue?
Like would I still need to send it in for the fix? Like are they making sure all machines coming from factory now are "fixed"?
IF not, when would a rev 2 come out? holiday time bundles?
What in holy fuck?Ensure the console has the latest system update. The steps below apply to system menu version 3.0.1 or higher.
Set the Auto-Sleep mode to "Never" for "Playing on Console Screen" and for "Connected to TV."
Connect the AC adapter directly to the console until the battery is fully charged.
If the battery charge indicator does not reach 100%, simply allow the console to charge for approximately three hours.
Once the battery is fully charged, leave the console alone for one hour with the AC adapter still connected to it.
Afterward, disconnect the AC adapter and allow the console to display the HOME Menu for approximately three to four hours.
The remaining battery life must be depleted as much as possible.
Once the battery charge is almost depleted, power off the console by holding down the POWER Button for three seconds, then select "Power Options" > "Turn Off." Leave the console alone for at least 30 minutes.
Repeat steps 2 - 6 several times.
The battery charge indicator will improve gradually by repeating this process several times.

Been a little while since I've seen the broken joycon thread bumped but it was still happening with new Switches and standalone joycons fairly recently. You might have to send it in.
The ones which are 'fixed' just have the foam bit already in them which is the same result as sending them in.
There might be a revision 2 but not in the immediate future I'd say if they are going with this solution for now.
interesting, thanks. yeah, just wondering if you can tell if ones are "fixed" out of the box or not?
No ones said you can so far, they either have foam inside or they don't.
And a few people have sent theirs in for repair and it's not worked, which I imagine is because the signal was just too weak from the 'manufacturing variation' for the foam to help with.
Not ideal all round really. I still need to send mine in but kept waiting till things were more certain but it doesn't look like they will be.
lol why does it do that
I just want an intenet browser and a video player. Hurry up, Nintendo.
Watching this just makes me feel very uncomfortable
Lmao, everytime this gif, thanks GAF
Love them stability updates. Keep em coming.
Especially CNet still to this day needs them badly.

This looks like the beginning of some awful infomercial lol.
That being said, the switch stand is awful.
in their defense, the stand is complete garbage.
I really want at least YouTube on it.Are Netflix and Hulu coming anytime soon, or are we still going with it's a gaming only device and to use those apps on something else?

This is true, but I think it'd make sense to 1. undock the controllers before propping the stand, and 2. not use them so close to the system you'd jerk around and knock it with your hand.in their defense, the stand is complete garbage.
At current rates of updates, the Switch can be fuse protected from roll-back for homebrew for ~5 years. After that it will run out of available fuse configs. I do have to wonder if it won't eventually slow down, though, since they are now hiring white hackers to find major exploits.
Just a random tidbit.
English? Sorry I've never hacked a console so no idea what you're on about but it sounded interesting
The Switch uses e-Fuses in order to hardware protect the system from a software rollback on firmware. (Hence, if you have any interest in homebrew, do not allow your Switch to update.)
They also started a bug hunt program where they pay out up to 20,000$ USD rewards for reporting exploits to them, so called white (hat) hackers. These are the type of hackers who do hacking for a good purpose such as bug hunt programs, as opposed to black hat who would be associated with, for instance, piracy.
lol why does it do that
Does somebody know if i update from a old system version around 2.0 to this update if there isnt any battery display problem in the first place?
Was this just a problem caused by 3.0?
Why are people shocked? That's exactly what is recommended on any Lithium Ion powered device. Charge it all the way up to full and keep it charged then deplete, shut down, charge to full and repeat a few times. Essentially imprints the battery maximum and minimum.
The battery issue is more of a general hardware thing (software battery meters are more of a guess than most people realize) and the update just allows for fixing it via the standard calibration method.
Generally you'll want to update anyway unless you're holding out for homebrew or something. There have been a bunch of user facing bugfixes and enhancements since 2.0.

Seriously. I thought most of us had laptops.
On most train and airplane rides the Switch would fall quite often in tabletop mode with only the system kickstand to prop it up.
Who would design a thin and very off center slim support like that to keep up a structure of the shape of the Switch?
Its never fallen over for me either, not on a plane or light rail. Where do you live that most train rides you take are making your Switch fall over? It sounds like you may have a defective Switch.It is not broken as it keeps the HW up if you do not touch it much or vibrate the table it is sitting on, but that cheap kickstand is really badly designed for a Nintendo product and barely fit for purpose.

Its obviously not, if people believe this DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS, they will lower the life of the battery. You should never let the battery drain completely if you can help it.I'd love to know what influenced you to believe that proper lithium ion battery care was common knowledge.
