It is called AutoRCM in Hekate, so it's probably better to stick with the capitalized A

May be better to keep the capitalized a (AutoRCM), capitalize the r (Refers), and change the link to "autorcm.md" instead of "https://switchgui.de/switch-guide/extras/autorcm/"
-> Please see [this page](autorcm.md) for more info

Also I think the sd in partition the SD in the menu is small (@ meme smh)
| This works by "bricking" the Switch in a controlled manner. | ||
| The Switch detects that something is wrong and boots into RCM to get repaired. | ||
| The big downside of this method is, that it is impossible to boot the Switch without a computer, phone or dongle, as it will never boot into stock firmware by itself, and that it requires an SD card with the proper CFW files on it at all times. In addition, if the battery of the Switch is completely drained, the Switch will need to charge to at least 10% in Hekate before launching Atmosphere, otherwise the Switch will refuse to boot due to the low battery. Charging in RCM is not recommended as this is very slow. AutoRCM can be reversed, but it is advised to keep a working NAND and BOOT0/1 backup before using it. | ||
| To enter RCM more comfortably a solution called "autoRCM" exists. |

Keep the a capitalized (for each reference)

I don't think there's anything wrong with that wording.
