If you don’t want to open this and solder a chip, then no, you can’t do what you want.

The closest you can get is to enable AutoRCM, which will cause the Switch to always boot into recovery mode and accept a payload. This skips the need to use a jig in the Joy-Con rail, but you still need to inject a payload. And because recovery mode is just a black screen, you don’t have any visual feedback to know if the Switch is actually in recovery mode, or if the battery is just dead.

Your best option is to just boot into whatever OS you use most, then make it a habit to keep it charged enough to not shut down.

Everyone sees this notice, I saw it on the official desktop Firefox client. They’re just trying to reach as many people as possible.

its not a noble cause to pay some dude who made an app we dont need

Do you think professional independent developers shouldn’t be paid for their work? Do you think this kind of development is effortless?

I don’t understand why people keep parroting this. The app is free. It’s a professionally developed app, where the quality tradeoff is either ads (which can be blocked) or your choice of ad removal payments.

This isn’t some company trying to exploit the community here, this is a full time app developer who just had his livelihood completely cut off. People begged him to make a version for Lemmy, and he did. He deserves to be paid for the hours and work he put in to make it happen. You can’t make an app if you can’t buy food or pay rent.

And if you don’t like that, then don’t use it. He’s never pressured users into paying, and he’s never suggested everyone on Lemmy should just send him money. He isn’t even spamming posts advertising the app, enthusiastic users are.

Why is everyone so upset?
