Use a steam Controller on switch
I don't know if this is widely know already but I just read about this project on /r/steamcontroller earlier today.
Opensteamcontroller by greggersaurus is a project to replace the firmware on the steam controller. One application of this is that it can be used with a Nintendo switch. The controller can't be used with a pc while it has the switch controller firmware on it but changing firmwares is mostly a case of drag and drop replace a file (apart from on Linux).

/r/SwitchHacks has changed ownership.
Hey, all!As of today (September 29th, 2019), /r/SwitchHacks is under new management. It's now under the ownership of ReSwitched – expect the moderator list to be filled out over the next day or so as volunteers from the ReSwitched mod team accept their invitations. Huge thanks to the previous management of the subreddit for running the subreddit so smoothly for so long, and I'm sorry to see the sunset of the old mod team's leadership. Don't expect any major policy changes any time soon – things should keep going as they've been going, and I'm looking forward to seeing the sub continue to thrive :)Best,
SciresM (and the rest of the ReSwitched team).

Remove the nagging update notification from your EmuNAND (EmuMMC)
Hello Friends! After searching through multiple forums over the past 2 days I finally found how to deal with this annoying issue.If you're like me, you may have hacked your switch with a pending update on the system without realizing it. (I was running 8.1.0 to stay on the lowest possible firmware). Once I completed everything I updated my SysNAND to 9.0.0 but of course, the notification stayed on my CFW whenever I would try to launch a game.Most guides to fix this assume your CFW is running via SysNAND which I imagine is the case for most people. But if you're like me and want to avoid being banned as much as possible, you're probably running CFW on an EmuNAND partition.Here's the trick:Boot up into Hekate through your usual RCM methodChoose the CFW (EmuNAND) option per usualThe following splash screens will come up on the newest version of Atmosphere in this order. Atlas NX -> sept -> Atmosphere logo -> Nintendo Switch.Immediately after you see the Atmosphere logo, hold both volume buttons on your switch and continue to hold them until the maintenance screen comes up. (White screen with some options)That's it! You don't have to choose any options. Just power off the device and the next time you boot into your EmuNAND the nagging update notification will be gone!
