Speaking of Switch, Recently, a future-proof Switch hack was made public which can’t be patched due to inherent vulnerabilities in Nvidia Tegra chip and shortly after that hackers have managed to run GameCube Emulator on Switch.
The aforementioned exploit is basically related to Nvidia Tegra X1 chip which unfortunately also powers the Nintendo Switch.
The exploit uses the Tegra X1’s USB recovery mode vulnerability that circumvents the lock-out functionality whose job is to protect the bootROM.
Recently, Valve made some changes to Steam’s privacy policay which resulted in SteamSpy shutting down. However, creator Sergey Galyonkin developed a new algorithm to keep its service alive.
According to Galyonkin, the new algorithm for its service uses the coincidental data on games and machine learning.
However, he added that the new algorithm is “not very accurate” and there is approx. 10% margin for all games that he tested for the new algorithm.
