I think people forget that measles was considered eradicated in the US in the year 2000, as no continuous transmission was occurring. Even in the 1990s, nationwide cases declined rapidly as vaccination focus campaigns kept forcing it lower and lower.

And now we're here. Thanks forever to Andrew Wakefield and all of the anti-vaxxers he spawned.

    What makes me doubt is that it still not possible to transform a PS4 into a Linux PC without exploiting the console at every boot. And this is after years…

    Not an indication of what's going on with PS5 right now.

    The people doing the PS5 jailbreaking are making heavy use of current AI tools that are exponentially accelerating their progress.

    This wasn't a thing during the main pushes to jailbreak PS4, and no one's going to be focusing those current tools on the PS4 because it is obsolete now. So PS4 and PS5 jailbreaking can't be compared apples to apples.

    Be cautious if you decide to try it, and do your research.

    Most jailbreaks and exploits only work if the console has old firmware on it and it never got updated to more recent firmware for whatever reason. If the firmware isn't old enough, then you can't put custom stuff on it, and then you just have a regular PS5.

    Overall I enjoyed it, the cast still has it and put in a solid performance.

    The movie they were mocking itself, though, was horrendous, even by MST3K standards.

    There are a few where no matter how great of a job the gang does in making fun of it, the movie itself leaves permanent trauma stains on your soul 😆

    To me, to even qualify as an apocalypse, it has to take out 99.9%+ of the population, and make extendedly staying alive stupidly difficult (and maybe even impossible) for anyone who "lucked into" surviving whatever it was that killed almost everyone else.

    So it's one of those things that is going to be hard to prep for with months and months of notice, let alone three measly days.
