There’s always the chance that compatibility / breadth can be a factor. I don’t know how much more demanding 265 is than 264 but if it is “noticeable” / “enough”, if it means someone can’t play the content in their (smart) TV set or on their phone, it makes sense then to release for the more compatible option / avoid a dual release.

“don’t use public trackers”

it’s next to impossible to qualify for a private tracker

let alone if the one you find has the stuff you want

let alone making their so-called “ratio”

¿???

That’s okay, you can create subs and not mod them. Lemmy has a sort-of-mechanism to transfer modship already.

Nothing gets taken down, everything is encoded in HEVC or AV1, 3D and mega-superduper-sound.

I’m not sure if I’d want the filesystem, browsing, transmission and decoding costs from having to store Ally McBeal (1997) on 3D mega superduper surround. 480p video 64kbps audio is fine.

I don’t know enough of it to opinionate but I see at least two big issues (for me thinking about usefulness for that time period):

• it’s hardware, meaning it’s far more pricey and international access far more restricted (they do point out for example they don’t sell to end users).
• in theory it only runs Switch carts (or, technically, Switch installable packages). if so meaning they only supplement a previously jailbroken Switch’s setup (eg.: pegascape, atmosphere, emulators, …), not replace it.

For some weird marketing and CEO reason, electronics anytime after the Game Boy Advance don’t last more than 10~15 years, and spread themselves out like spaghetti if the transport clerk in charge haphazardly trips over your suitcase. From washing machines to vidya consoles, if you want it good it has to he old. Nintendo is no exception, the Switch is not anywhere as durable as the Game Boy Color, battery lifetime notwithstanding.

But is it jailbroken?

That, for me, is pretty much half or 3/4ths of the point of “can I keep the same things” with the Switch. The console (any console, really) is useless for me if it comes without aftermarket / altermarket value.

People who own a Switch, let’s take this to extremes, do you feel like in 20 years from now you can still do the same things on your hardware as you can do now? (No multiplayer is fine)

No chance.

Not only it is unlikely that the hardware will last that long, the supplies for hardmodding it likely won’t either, and in 20 years there won’t be enough of a community interest to support hardmodding services unless some sort of master keys are leaked. And without hardmodding, the only Switches that you can install whatever you want on are very ld ones that were released with firmware 3.x or something, which are also less capable hardware and lower quality joycons.

Heck, if I had to bet on 5 years more instead of 20, I’d flat out sell my Switch and buy a Steam Deck 2.0 as soon as they release.

TBH they could just have kept streaming their archived copies of that content (they did make backups, right? They work on IT, they would have known how important it is to have backups). If Disney or someone complains, let each side just pick their lawyer staff and toss them together at a mud cage match with wet T-shirts, for a couple of years, maybe a decade. They have way over good amounts of money to waste on that, and people would have kept enjoying a good alternative to piracy in the meantime.

If it was possible, you could!

Fair point, capitalism ruins everything by definition.

I’m not sure I buy it. Just because content producers wall+jerk themselves off doesn’t mean you have to enshittify your own product, not when you are winning. Besides, Netflix already became a content producer themself partly as an answer to that.

If it was never cool, there’s no need to extra uncool it now.

It’s literally configure && make && make install docker pull && docker-run for the ircd image.

I haven’t been able to find any resources online that suggest firmware is embedded onto the game carts at all.

That mmight be because currently the SEO space for “nintendo switch cart firmware” searches seems to be globbed by mentions to the flashcart project, depending on where / how do you search. Currently it eats up the first page and a half for me, even on DDG.

I have the physical carts that prove it. It’s how I got my Switch in Pegascape to upgrade firmware safely in the first place. It was also critical to getting some very early upgrades (3.x) going. Perhaps they’re just not doing it anylonger for newer fws?

A few sources on the existence of such carts include various threads at gbatemp, gamefaqs, and the ChoiDujourNX FAQ. What I don’t know is if the upgrade is part of the game cart data or if it’s partitioned sepaately.
