  • If you’re worried about credibility

    Not really anymore. (considering Louis Rossman behind it)

    My harsh comment strictly regarding this part:

    but they are not required to release the code to the public

    Again, it make no sense to pay this theoretical person (well, I wouldn’t, hence I won’t donate), cause there actually no benefit to anyone.

    The point of all this is to be able to demonstrate to legislators that the DMCA needs to be fixed

    Well, then why that money used for this charity event and not for cause mentioned above? “yeah, we know how to jailbrake your console, take that sony! Oh, but don’t worry, we won’t release this hack nor collaborate in any way to provide this feature to other people”

    That being said I’m not deaf and yeah, I can understand legal side of thing. Won’t make it less annoying tho.



  • let me run steam on it

    This. Actually one of the reasons why Valve didn’t sell GabeCube at loss or even at 0 markup, they prices it fairly well (compared to other prebuilds). Otherwise it would be an amazing deal - cheap and small prebuild desktop PC.

    Same with PS5, if they allowed to install linux, people would start buying their consoles and *gasps in horror* - use device as they please, which means not buying games from their overpriced store. It actually already happened before with PS3, I recall article that some even used it for making a cluster essentially DIY’ing super computer. I doubt people would do the same with PS5 and realistically, they not even selling this console at loss, so they absolutely wouldn’t lost anything, but like, it’s Sony we are talking about.



  • I recently bought BC250 (same hardware as in PS5) and unlocked 40CU (by default on this board only 20 available, on PS5 - 38CU) — it’s actually pretty good machine. Alto, idle power consumption quite high (power saving features doesn’t work). The fact that sony just gatekeeps this hardware is insane. And in a year or two, when they release ps6, this one will become a ewaste, even tho with 16gb of ram it still pretty capable machine.






  • Just as update — I managed to compile it on linux, by replacing couple of libs and removing most of win depended calls. It crashes on game launch due to memory allocation problem. I think core part with how memory allocated needs to be redone in order to go in game.

    And I think all what I’ve done so far makes no sense to continue, cause there another actually working crossplatform emulator — SharpEmu (also based on Kyty)

    Upd. Also, new emulator have exact same problem, so I’m not so sure if it really emulator problem or demo that I use for testing.







  • Go rebuild your own transmission.

    I’m pretty confident I will be able to. There a shit tons of guides, videos and tutorials. In fact, I worked in repair center and that was my usual routine. Don’t know something? Learn.

    That makes you an ashole.

    I see only one asshole in comments and that ain’t me. I see no reason for me to provide instruction that will take hours to type and may not even be correct, just to please some weird guy on internet. I gave general directions: to have best experience and privacy with those TVs, you need to root them. How you do it (and if you even want to) is up to you.



  • but it’s possible that being visible and in-person with your coworkers increases your chances of getting a raise or promotion.

    On my current job for about 2 years, I had 2 promotions. Both times I had to literally go to my boss and tell “for current payrate and for current set of responsibilities, you can go fuck yourself, I’m out”. Only after that I got promoted. Doubt it will work third time, so I actively look for new job.

    Point is - no one in our company gets promotions, no matter if you literally suck CEO dry (CEO is a “she”, so that would be at least funny to watch) or if you freelancer that no one seen in office even once (me).

    and your mileage may vary Maybe I’m in this category tho, but feels like it’s global problem, judging by comments.
