Cheeto dust. Mystery solved.

@patbacknitro18 Because they have cellular connections to stream the games on the go.

This is not plagiarism. When you do work for a company, the company owns your work. They can do whatever they want with it. Does it suck she's not credited in future ports she wasn't involved in? Yes. But it's not illegal.

If damage is tied to frame rate, you're doing it wrong

"The company is once again under fire for not improving its supply lines"

"In 2014, Nintendo was only able to certify 47 percent of its suppliers weren’t committing human rights violations. This number was improved in 2016 to 72 percent and went to 76 percent in 2017 "

So improving from 47% to 76% in 3 years isnt an improvement?

@chardir What the investigator found was that the cases where the switch would stop charging were all fixed by a reboot. Unless I missed a paragraph, he didn't find anything that would cause the bricks being reported.

@chardir They should fix their compliance, yes. And so should 90% of USB-C devices out there. The USB-C standard is a complex beast, and most devices break from it somewhere. Certification is still not well implemented in the industry.
It seems all these compliance issues, at worst, cause an overdraw that is still lower than what the offical dock/power supply give the Switch. Which wouldn't explain any of the bricking.

@Yorumi There were reports of bricked consoles prior to 5.0 from people using unlicensed docks, too. It did get much more prevalent (or at least reports of it did) after 5.0.
5.0 may well have changed the power request the switch sends, and the unlicensed docks couldn't understand the changed message and started sending more power.

@Yorumi Bad USB-C cables have fried USB ports in computers. And yes, you can 'error proof' a device to not get destroyed from too much voltage, etc. But whatever you do, there is always an upper limit to what you can handle. Apply too much, and your safeguards also fail.

A lot of companies selling cheap USB-C devices do not implement the standard correctly, especially in the area of power negotiation and supply. This issue is well documented across the industry.
These dock makers likely built their devices to handle the messaging from the original firmware as far as power supply is concerned, and then 5.0 changed the messaging slightly, and the cheap docks got confused and sent too much power. Something on the switch got fried out, that's why even official docks can no longer function with these systems.

@uhhhhhhhh Just play as a spy who infiltrated the Nazis and take them down from the inside!

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Steam is easier to flood with fake reviews

So, they could have just released one patch that took it from 7.4GB to 7.6GB. Size argument still makes no sense.
