The Nintendo switch has been out for a while now. The one thing no one has ever addressed, how are the joy-cons charged?! I can't see any connections in between the console and the controller. And teardowns don't reveal induction coils.

The connector pins are at the bottom, inside of the groove you slide the joycons in to connect.

@liamcottle Fucking impressive!!!

@JohnScott pretty neat eh ! I only knew they were there as I’ve been looking at the custom firmware that can be installed due to the Tegra X1 exploit. You have to join a couple of the pins to get the Switch to boot into recovery mode

@liamcottle Do you think they'll ever make a hardware revision?

@JohnScott No idea, but there’s been a few articles from sources close to Nintendo saying there won’t be a revision this year. Apparently they’re going to try drive more Switch sales with accessories than hardware changes. If they were to do a hardware revision I would expect Bluetooth, mainly for the use of wireless headphones. Definitely a let down on Nintendo’s part that the switch doesn’t have such feature... having to resort to 3.5mm jack...

@JohnScott They cant really do a hardware revision as the exploit is with the Nvidia SOC and not how the switch uses it. Guess they could disable Recovery but that can cause more problems for them.

nintendon't need to bow to your silly laws of physics and engineering.
