Nintendo reserves the right to brick your console following "unauthorised use", in bid to prevent piracy
Nintendo has updated its Nintendo Account Agreement with a severe warning against "unauthorised use", in a bid to prevent emulation and piracy.

Once a Nintendo update bricked my console. Black screen of death after a brief moment of Nintendo logo. The console was on, the fan was spinning, but that's all.
It's a v1 console, and it booted into Hekate and CFW no problems. So after following a video on YT, I was able to reflash the whole device with the latest firmware.
It works now flawlessly, tho always a bit butt clentching when there's new update. I play online with it a lot on OFW, not even using the CFW for anything. (I have a chipped Lite for all my hacking desires.)
I contacted Nintendo what the fuck is this (prior I think I got shadowbanned in Animal Crossing as well since no online features worked in game), we had shared some emails and that's it. They just ghosted me.
So, if this is the case, people SHOULD hack their Switches, just to have a way to emergency restore their consoles.
Damn, you sold me. Especially if I can still continue to play my legit carts online.
Personally I wouldn't trust it even though so far there have been no problems playing online with official firmware on a modded console. It's possible they could detect it in theory and Nintendo does not take unauthorized use lightly, even if you purchased the game and Nintendo online subscription legitimately.
I'm in no rush. I figure once the new one comes out they'll give up on the OG in time.
