I know you are. That’s the problem. You think Nazis should have the right to hold Nazi rallies and spread Nazi speech. They shouldn’t. It’s actually bad for Nazis to hold Nazi rallies and spread Nazi speech, as Nazi rallies and Nazi speech are bad. Literally the only country in the world which has a blanket protection…

Defending the concept of rallies is not defending all rallies. Defending the concept of free speech is not defending all the speech. Defending concepts which benefit all is not defending or siding with all.

Maybe you can choose to decide that not all speech is worth defending. Maybe you can think for just a second and come to the conclusion that siding with Nazis is bad.

No, Richard Spencer giving a speech at an MSU venue is not the best possible outcome. It’s actually very bad to have Nazis giving speeches!

i think i get what you are saying....

Free speech is protection from government intrusion on what you say; that’s exactly why Spencer was allowed to speak at MSU.

Advocating for genocide isn’t free speech, it is hate speech, and it is not protected by the 1st amendment

It’s not the a 3rd party issue. It’s a Nintendo using usb-3 out of spec compliance.

The 5.0.0 firmware changed how the OS kernel handles memory addresses which can easily cause all kinds of issues with hardware that wasn’t accounted for when writing the firmware.

The Switch dock is a bit more involved than a USB-C to HDMI adapter and includes custom chips to interface with the Switch to enable GPU overclocking and upscaling features.

Right, but you’re talking about a reverse engineered piece of tech, that was tweaked a bit to cheat and let you play on the screen too. They likely cheated a bit somewhere. Applying power to the wrong pins when you’ve got something special can cause weird things to happen.

As others have speculated, this probably has something to do with the 5.0 update changing the way it handles memory, or whatever. I doubt it was a malicious attempt on Nintendo’s part to lock out 3rd part docks, but an attempt on their part to prevent hacking, homebrew, and even piracy.

Few, if any, of Nyko’s products are ever officially licensed. They’re really no different than the hundreds of Chinese brands like FastSnail, YOSWAN, Yteam, FYOUNG, etc. The only difference is Nyko has managed to trick the market into thinking they’re of the same quality as Hori. Nyko has never been a trustworthy…

Called it on the HORI JoyCon post:

Whenever power is involved, all bets are off.

It’s pretty normal for companies like Nintendo to write release notes like this. They’ve got a release that contains no interesting changes, or fixes issues that the public was not aware of, or that would be difficult to explain. As a catch-all, they share this blanket statement. The person writing the release notes…

To be fair, this Nyko dock has been bricking systems and killing their ability to charge for months before the 5.0 update. The thing should have been pulled from shelves long ago.

From my understanding, Nintendo has some proprietary chip in the dock that handles conversion of USB-C to HDMI, and Nyko reversed engineered this technology. So they thought.

Update 5.0 completely rewrote how the kernel handles addresses in memory (it added KASLR), and something about that update broke a third party…

While trying to find a nice, compact dock to put in my Waterfield Switch bag, I kept finding occasional Amazon reviews where folks complained about temporary or permanent damage to their consoles.
