Hackers have found a way into the Nintendo Switch, possibly giving those with a high level of technical knowledge a way to run pirated games on the portable console.

The hack, similar to a jailbreak of a smartphone, was publicized Tuesday and can turn the Switch into a tablet that can run pirated programs and grant hackers far greater control over the system than Nintendo intended.

The weak point in the console is a problem with its processor chip, the Tegra X1 from Nvidia. This chip, essentially the brains of the device, is also used in some Android phones. A hacking group called fail0verflow, said in a blog post that it had informed Google, the developer of the Android system, about the vulnerability and promised to wait 90 days to disclose it to give Google a chance to examine it.

Nintendo, Nvidia and Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Because the flaw is a hardware problem, it will be very difficult for Nintendo to fix the issue remotely by sending updates.

Actually executing the hack is a complicated process and requires both confidence in one’s programming skills and a willingness to possibly destroy the Switch in the process if something goes wrong.

Audi is recalling about 1.2 million vehicles worldwide because electric coolant pumps can overheat and possibly cause a fire.

The recall covers the 2013 to 2016 A4, the 2013 to 2017 A5, the 2012 to 2015 A6, and the Q5 SUV from 2013 to 2017.

The Volkswagen luxury brand says in U.S. government documents that the pumps can become blocked with cooling system debris, or moisture in the pump can cause an electrical short.

Dealers will replace the pumps at no cost to owners. The spokesman said Tuesday that redesigned parts won’t be ready until November, but dealers will install a new version of the current pump until the redesigned one are available.

Takeda Pharmaceutical is nearing a preliminary agreement to acquire Shire after the Japanese drugmaker sweetened its roughly $60 billion bid for the biotechnology company, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

The two companies have been working on a tentative agreement on price and may announce a preliminary accord as early as Tuesday, the people said, declining to be identified as the discussions are confidential. Under U.K. takeover rules, Takeda must announce a firm offer or abandon its pursuit by Wednesday afternoon. The companies may seek an extension from authorities to finalize talks, the people said.
