Reddit is going crazy about the Switch 2 using "encryption", to lock out third party docks, but as far as I can tell that's misinformation.
Nothing in the logs looks like encryption, it's just a proprietary protocol. Manufacturers clone those all the time!
Not following standards is not nice, but saying this dooms third party docks or has any DMCA implications is nonsense. In fact the article already points out one compatible third party dock.
The original switch also "locked out" standard adapters, just in a simpler way only checking the device ID.
Nintendo has used actual encryption to lock out third party peripherals before (Wii Remote control extensions). If they cared enough they'd have done that again.
the incompatibility with the standard is what everyone should care about, and calling it encryption while wrong gets the point across
you can go get a generic usb c to hdmi and usb dock for lets say 50 eur and use it on an android (with usb dp), an iphone (15+), a deck, an ally, a macbook,...
why does nintendo get to opt out of the standard (or add vendor specific extensions that break interop)?
why include usbc? add a proprietary port and go back to the hell that was pre usbc
