reported it to Sony

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)

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

    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?

    There used to be a time where you bought hardware and MAYBE you could do more with it. The assumption being that someone is going to fuck you over later so you can do less with your hardware sucks.

    Well, there is an assumption like this with playstation, and this assumption exists since ps3. I'm not saying that it wouldn't be great if there were an ability to install whatever you want.
