   Here's my constant question:

   Everyone's going so fast that they keep hitting walls. Review, CI, product asking for things, whatever.

   Why have we not seen an improvements in products?

   While every post and thread feels like a 90's wall street office, the new android and iphone ship with fewer features than usual. No indie guys come up with a linux-sized alternative OS. Switch 2 remains unhacked. Windows takes 3 seconds to show the right click menu.

   Is everyone just running full speed in circles or something?

      What is Switch 2 security doing here? (independently of it having so few features added per update)

         My guess they mean some kind of jailbreaking.

            Sure but it's the odd one out in a list of whishing manufacturers added features.

            "Switch 2 remains unhacked" is rather disrepectful of the hacking community, and runs on the assumption that the Switch 2 has significant vulns. It's very well possible it doesn't have any high-privilege software exploit at all.

            After all if one cas use AI to find vulns and/or to RE, it's even easier for the OS developer (Nintendo) to use it to find bugs in their code before release.

               It's also only been out a little over a year; early in the life serving its intended purpose. What's the rush? Lol
