Licking a multi-billion dollar, international corporations boots makes me feel... I just don't know anymore.

Its reported via bounty program. Their greed for money surpassed the desire to help out system ownership just a little for everyone (the flow wanted to wait till after gta6 to report the bug, so at least the base gta6 would be available to users who want to hack their device)

I mean...sexism aside, someone who sell themselves out and speak for bigger corporate is definitely a whore.

Sad, I thought about buying one to use as a pc, now both this happened and my laptop screen broke so I need new laptop instead that is much more expensive than ps5

Seems like a pet project in the first place. People can run a full steam OS at this point.

You can on a used AMD BC-250 board, which is what's inside a PS5. With a liquid cooling set up, I spent less than €400, which includes a new 1TB ssd (almost half of the cost)

I just finished my build and it's great!!

There was an exploit in some firmwares that allowed it to be done. This story is about the guy who created the project to allow that.

If you've updated your PS5 anytime recently those bypasses won't work for you.

By not buying ps5. You bought it with expectation of running linux on it?
