Just to see, I had it in my cart and was on the page with the “pay now” button a few hours ago, so yeah, they moved quick.

That’s a good sign if true! Then the only other time-pressure is I am guessing we have roughly a three-month window before current stock is replaced with pre-patched hardware.

I saw this and the exploit game, SmileBASIC 4.4.9, appears to still be available on the Nintendo Store in the US, but appears to have been removed in some countries. I don’t have a Switch 2, however, and even buying it if you can’t download it immediately means it’ll probably be patched on Nintendo’s servers, making any redownload fail to redo the exploit. So if you have a Switch 2, I’d suggest downloading that game ASAP.

In any world where AI companies didn’t corner the semiconductor market and if Switch 2 was $300, I’d probably rush out and buy one. But at $500, I can’t justify it out of fomo. I’ll just hope that the exploit leads to more general exploits in the future. But there’s a good chance Nintendo will have a hardware revision in the next few months, and this Switch 2 model will be like the discontinued fusee gelee exploitable Switch 1 model.

Amazon Eneloop official store/Panasonic listing, shipped and sold by Amazon.com.

I may be the unluckiest person in the world, but I’ve bought expensive official Eneloops multiple times and used multiple chargers and just gave up. Sure, it may be because I’m doing something wrong, but I certainly couldn’t figure out what that may be.

The battery no longer recharges and is effectively trash.

Rechargeable li-ion batteries are the game changer for me.

All the fancy expensive rechargeable including Eneloop would have a 30+% failure rate every recharge cycle and I wasted so much money. I have 16 li-ion AAs that I rotate including in my door locks and they have gone through multiple recharge cycles with no failures.
