    Maybe link the source exploit ?

    1. 3

      The exploit link on ars is easy to find, and I didn’t have to read all the way to the end to learn the Nintendo Switch is affected.

      I don’t understand, isn’t this just modifying your own hardware? Why is this treated like some great tragedy?

      1. 1

        Because this lets you exploit anything using NVIDIA’s Tegra and that includes things like Tesla vehicles.

        It’s super cool that you can mod your switch/tesla now.. but also super not cool that you can’t prevent someone else from moding it for you.

        1. 2

          Wait, so it’s a remote sploit? Or you mean if you give your Tesla to your mechanic they can mod it? Or something else?

        2. 1

          Presumably because it makes for better headlines? Local code execution on a game console seems interesting only if you figure out something better to do with your game console than playing games.

          fail0verlow’s stuff includes u-bootNetBSD supports Tegra X1… how long until “of course it runs NetBSD”? :)
