It's not a dumb video and it's not an edge case. It's a great video that goes straight to the point, has timestamps, explains in detail how the exploit works and how consistently, and showcases it.

The exploit is BadUpdate v1.2, an evolution of the previously known BadUpdate, which was great as a proof of concept but not very useful in practice, as it required an average of 30 minutes to work, had a success rate of about 30%, and needed to be applied every time the console was rebooted (on a console with no sleep mode, may I add).

By comparison, as shown in the dumb video, the new version of BadUpdate works flawlessly in about a minute (10 max), and has a far greater success rate of about 80%, according to the creator. It can be launched from a USB stick and requires no additional software or hardware modification to the console, and most importantly, works on all X360 and not just earlier editions.

If you're too lazy to click on a link, fine, but I'd suggest at least not acting so confidently when saying things you know nothing about.

I find your pride in your skepticism confusing. Why even bother commenting?
