    Too many words, title should be, “PS5 slammed by hacking scene”.

      I wish they’d change it up. I want to see headlines with the word “obliterated” in them.

    I’m on firmware 13.6 but almost updated a week ago.

    Now I just have to prevent my 9 year old son from updating it when playing Roblox and it might one day become my Linux gaming PC instead of buying a pre-built when prices go down.

    Let’s hope the new exploit helps the PS5 Linux scene.

      You can probably block the PS5 from reaching the update servers to be safe

    This sounds really fucking cool! Sadly I have no idea how to use / do any of it. What do I need to learn to be able to implement something like this?

    Suddenly glad I’ve had no desire to play ps5 in ages.

    I should look and see if theres better options for ps4, as well, since mine is currently in need of repair anyway…

    Edit: I’m confused as to why this is getting downvoted? I don’t care about internet points, but I do care about being misunderstood. I’m glad because mine should be out of date enough to use this hack, and I should look to see if there’s a similar one for ps4 as long as it needs repair anyway?

      Yep, same boat. Luckily, my wife’s has been off for a long while so I managed to stop hers. We’ll have one modded machine at least!
