> The hardest part will probably be the sheer amount of DRM installed around them, as consoles tend to have

Technically it's not really DRM which is the issue, it's the software engineering and security mitigation letting you jailbreak the system (unless it's just not jailed in the first place).

Then again, while the XB1 is still locked down tight, it took 2 years to get a working PS4 jailbreak and 15 months for the Switch. If the usual chinese SE is any evidence, Subor's probably be at or below the low end.

The pictures in the article appear to show the console just straight up running Windows 10.

I doubt it'll be a problem. The only people who care about the DRM are on the software side, and they also control the hardware side (there is no non-microsoft device that can run xbox one software for example).

I'll bet we'll see a huge export of "consoles" that are just the hardware, expecting companies to create the software and rebrand them.

Where's geohotz when you need him??

He has moved on to hacking things that kill more people than phone and videogames, cars.
