My 3rd party Switch dock needs some strange ritual to actually work, but still not sure what the correct steps and orders.
It's a fairly early 3rd party dock, from the times when there were articles about 3rd party docks blowing the Nintendo Switch's charging IC or something like that.
Tho this dock works, but only if I plug in the charger, the HDMI cable and the Switch itself in the correct order. Otherwise no video, only just charging.
IIRC, the order is HDMI, charger and Switch, but I may be wrong, it was a while ago I used that dock.
Probably some funky device detection or bug in the dock's code, but it's amusing. Especially after others see me trying and trying and they are like that was the moment when I blew my Switch, but no.
I don't use any Apple products and am not planning to change this in the near future, but man, the stuff I've read and seen about the M chips did left me absolutely amazed.
funny thing is recently I was toying with the thought to create an app exactly like this, to signal 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes with one, two, three and (four + hour of day) beeps, just like a church/temple bell or grandfather clock...
Pretendo, yay!
