Feels like it was appropriate to make a thread since we get one everytime the hacking community makes progress with the current custom firmwares.

To any one playing along, the changes in 6.2 are genuinely fascinating in how Nintendo rebuilt their boot process to build a completely new, secure boot:
Nintendo has figured out how to defeat a hardware flaw with a software update.
The Big N did a real good job here, real damn good. We'll see if it can remain undefeated for a while but so long as TSEC remains secure, the only way to hack 6.2+ Switches will be through userland even with the older hardware-shot model. Meaning that we've entered a possible line in the sand for the Switch hacking scene that ends at 6.1.0.
