Poor Sony, I know they want to get rid of physical games, but they don't deserve this /s

The only weird bit I see with this so far is it resets if the system powers off. I'm definitely gonna keep an eye on this though and hope for a more permanent solution.

Edit: well there we go: https://github.com/itsPLK/ps5-webkit-autoloader

    The auto loader just makes it offline and automatically loads packages you select, you still have to run it every reboot

    But a tethered jailbreak is nothing new. The real unfortunate bit is without a full hypervisor exploit you can’t run stuff like Linux. The older firmwares that were fully exploited were essentially solid gaming pcs that could run steam bc of this

    That said it’s really a minor issue. The jailbreak process takes a few seconds, it’s really not a burden. It’s not like you have to reinstall everything every time. Apparently sometimes it can fail but I’ve done it a few times now and it’s very painless
