Re:PS5 Jailbreaks Are Escalating at an Unprecedented Pace on Wednesday October 07, 2026 @09:20AM (#49992428)
Works fine on my 13.00 console too FWIW
It's usually the game being installed from disc to the SSD, as the Blu-Ray drive isn't fast enough for modern standards

I had those set to enabled by default, thanks for the clarification.

It works for me after enabling exploit protection compatibility mode. Pixel 9a on latest versions of GOS and PayPal.

That's strange. Have you tried the stock OS and had the same problem?

What Pixel do you have? Modem quality varies and signal strength could play a role. My 9a gets hot in areas with poor reception but is fine at work where I get over a gigabit down.

That may also have to do with the rise in AI usage
Re:Arch Linux disables AUR package adoption on Friday July 31, 2026 @01:19PM (#49126036)
I haven't been updating AUR packages since the initial incident. Thankfully hadn't updated for a week prior to it. Tonight I'll be uninstalling all the AUR packages I possibly can.
I'm a GrapheneOS user. The duress passcode feature will reboot the phone to a "corrupted data" screen, so it's pretty obvious that it's been used to render data inaccessible.

If you're using something Fire Stick/Android TV, TizenTube Cobalt has been great for me and my family. It has an ad blocker, Sponsorblock, Dearrow, and a few other goodies.
Sucks to see this right after the Studio Canal movie situation [1]. I won't be getting another PlayStation.

Anecdotal, but I've never had issues with any game outside of competitive shooters that require kernel-level anticheats. If you're not playing those, it could be worth a try.
Same situation for me. "alvr-bin" instead of "alvr". I'm a week out of date too.
Same on my device.
