Given that I find myself strongly compelled to stand up to this ridiculous behavior on the part of Nintendo and I have the time and resources to do so ...

I am going to purchase, on ebay ... what ? A plain old retail Nintendo Switch ?

Then I will send that switch (or two, or three) to ... who ?

Let's say I have a budget of USD $10,000 - who can I pay to do original, clean-room reverse engineering of this device ?

The goal here would be to publish everything that I can pay people to find.

Suggestions ? Who should I be in contact with ?

Like, what are even hoping to achieve? Aren't modders and the like probably already trying to do what you are trying to do?

And why do you think $10k is a significant amount of money to anyone who could achieve what you want done?

You can buy a decent engineer's spare time for two or three months, if they're being generous about it and particularly want to help. Where would one place $10k that it would meaningfully accelerate reverse engineering the Switch?

You either do it for anything but the money, or the money has to be a lot larger than $10k.

I am hoping that Nintendo attempts to stop me from doing this.

I have zero knowledge of (current) Nintendo hardware and architecture and what tinkerers and reverse engineers are capable of doing with them.

However, I find myself strongly compelled to stand up to this ridiculous behavior on the part of Nintendo and I have the time and resources to do so.

With that in mind, I am going to purchase, on ebay ... what ? A plain old retail Nintendo Switch ?
