It's sold as a gaming console. At no point does Sony give the impression that you're buying anything buy a gaming console.
That wasn't the case with the PS2 and the PS3. After they stole my PS3 Linux from me, they deserve to get hit back.
It wasn't inevitable for the bug to get reported to Sony and fixed before the release of GTA6. At that point, Flow would have reported it to Sony himself, and everyone (except Sony and Rockstar) would be happy.
Also, hypervisor access is needed just to dump new games from a console. This likely also prevents piracy of GTA6 on Playstation for the foreseeable future, which is what many of the folks jailbreaking Playstations really wanted. Any sort of Pirate GTA6 is unlikely before PC release.
Now, Playstation Jailbreakers will have to choose between playing GTA6 (requiring update to Sony's new patched firmware) and Jailbreaking + linux + homebrew + piracy and whatnot.
It sucks pretty bad.
Mod points come and.go, but comments stay forever fast.
Indeed. And a bigger tariff lets local production massively increase their margins.
You missed the joke.
You suggested that government-mandated minimum wait times at the DMV solved voting enrollment problems. It the problem can be solved by making a chore suck more, the problem must be that too many people are registering to vote.
Several States just passed laws requiring the legislation to fund the DMV in order to create minimum wait times and as soon as they did that the DMV was fine and there was no complaints anymore about bureaucrats.
Requiring that people would have to wait at least a few hours at the DMV seems like a costly and ineffective way to discourage voting, but if you think it will work, I'm willing to give it a shot.
Hildon? Seriously? I guess maemo-leste technically still exists, and no one can stop you from getting it up and running, but you won't have a good time.
Phosh ain't bad though, and squeakboard is adequate.
Plasma Mobile tries too hard to feel like Android. I heard they're using a new OSK, but I haven't tried it. The old one was inadequate (no tab, ctrl, alt, super, f-keys, arrow keys, etc).
So they can keep doing surveillance, but clandestine.
Solar-powered LPR cameras ain't exactly inconspicuous.
Replacing customer service reps with a chatbot is a great way to get rid of customers.
They silently installed a spell checker at some point.
They've had a spell-check feature since the first release. They added "enhanced" spell-check in v28.
A canvas and drawing API. A native JIT compiler. A WASM VM.
Yeah. Stuff users actually want their browser to be able to do. Again, (other than the WASM VM) stuff that's been there since the first release.
And of course, none of that crap is four gigabytes per user.
You install software X, but without asking you software X silently installs additional software Y that is not necessary for software X to function
And they silently install additional software Y a decade after you installed software X. You installed software X many years before software Y even existed.
