Fair warning that Nintendo likes to remote-kill both Switch 2 consoles and the game cards used by them once they detect jailbreaks from all future accesses to online services, so you should probably take steps to permanently detach your Switch from all online services and from WiFi before experimenting with this, and expect that selling any game carts from your jailbroken console can land you in hot water with the buyer reporting your info to Nintendo someday. Thanks, secure attestation of burned-in serial numbers! (This was in the news last year iirc? but not so much of interest to HN at the time.)
They can (and will) ban you from online services (the console, not the account). No, they won't brick your console remotely (blown out of proportion from a sentence in the EULA that's there since the Wii days and other vendors also have it)
That’s a very expensive bet against a very wealthy company with the EULA-backed legal right, until a court declares otherwise, to permanently destroy a device at will for jailbreaking. I hope it pans out for you!
Please don’t be demeaning and dismissive at HN. You’ve made your point about the low odds (currently zero) and I’ve made my point that I don’t think that’s a safe gamble to take. I genuinely do wish y’all luck — fighting for the right to repurpose devices is a steady thread throughout my comment history re: attestation for the past five years, and I think Nintendo is quite likely to lose in court over blocking online access by a device now that they sell download-only game cartridges. Insulting me for disagreeing, for not taking a gamble against a draconian EULA as a Switch 2 owner, is inappropriate. You could have asked my motivations (I’m retired and in school, so dollars aren’t flowing like they used to) if you wished to challenge me further, and you’re certainly not new here: do better next time.
