Bad example because that country has been under American economic sanctions for the past 12 years.

I suspect you don't use an ad blocker :-)

I like jailbreaks.

But to jailbreak you need to stay on an older iOS version (because Apple patches the bugs enabling the jailbreaks). And that means you don't get security updates.

> takes away your ownership of games with their game code carts, tries to control and destroy the second hand market.

That's wrong. The game key-cards are just a proof of ownership. You can sell the key-cards or buy used ones without any problem.

The only difference between a key-card and regular game cartridge is that key-cards will require you to download the game.

Nintendo is much better than their competition (Sony) in this aspect

Apple only lets you downgrade to iOS versions that are still signed. Typically previous updates remain signed for ~1 month. You can check which updates are still signed here: https://appledb.dev/

However, you can downgrade to any previous iOS version if a bootrom exploit is found for your device.

For example you can use https://github.com/pwnerblu/surrealra1n to downgrade A12/A13 chip devices using this bootrom exploit: https://github.com/ahmadkamal09999-tech/usbliter8

What they meant is that, in terms of scale, the jump from 7.8 to 7.9 is more or less the same as the jump from 7.9 to 8.0

This is similar to Linux kernel versioning

Yes, he said the same on the mailing list[0] when he asking about a related thing 3 weeks ago:

It is end-to-end encrypted, but aren't chat history backups stored in plain text on some server?

Due to consoles being very locked down and due to them preventing users from running unsigned code, cheaters aren't a problem in multiplayer games on console

No not really. Most of it is handled for you. You don't install anticheat because the console already has DRM. You don't update your drivers because driver updates are bundled with OS updates (and you can't connect to the store without being on the latest update anyway). You don't compile shaders because they are pre-compiled on console.

Those are mostly PC-exclusive features.

How about making the passords longer but easier to memorize? (no digit / letter / special character requirement)

Not only is it optional, but many ISP-provided routers still don't support it.

Beware that you need a hypervisor exploit to run Linux. And these are incredibly rare. But, there was one patched very recently on firmware version 14.10

So, if you buy a PS5 now, you should be good

GTA is not made by Blizzard =)

> It’s only recently (earlier this year) that the _last gen_ of xbox was cracked.

Maybe that's due to lack of interest?

The Xbox is flopping commercially, and doesn't have any exclusives that are not on PC.

On the other hand, The Nintendo Switch got a jailbreak fairly early in its lifecycle.

Surely, if there's enough motivation, hacking any console is possible.

You need a firmware version that can run the game in order to dump it in the first place. Then you can backport it to older firmwares.

(Also a reminder that GTA 6 won't have a physical release. And downloding from the store requires the latest firmware)

> If it’s streaming, but not to PC, what’s it streaming to?

Xbox consoles probably.

Apparently they're introducing a pay-as-you-go option next month. So instead of paying $80/$100 upfront, you'd pay it (or more!) gradually as you stream the game.

If you're on desktop, you can use uBlock origin's element zapper to remove annoying things like that.

Yes the original is very expensive. It depends on the resolution and the GPU used:

RTX 5060: 9.9 ms at 1080p

RTX 5070: 10.2 ms at 1440p

RTX 5080: 13.7 ms at 2160p

RTX 5090: 8.2 ms at 2160p

> pop in my Cyberpunk 2077 disk to play

It depends if you have a ps4 disk or a ps5 disk.

The ps5 disk is the "Ultimate Edition" version. It was released 3 years after launch and contains the 2.0 update

Death Stranding 2 underperformed.

It sold only 2-3 million copies which, depending on how much money they spent on development and marketing, may be a net loss
