If I install Linux on a PS5, can I use the Blu-ray drive as a PC optical drive to rip DVD's and shit?
Based on this list, it looks like you have to be sitting on a 2022 or earlier non-updated PS5 to have a chance at the 4.51 or lower firmware to use this. A chance it'll open up to other firmwares and as said maybe there's a limited functionality 5.xx exploit on the horizon, but just a bit of reality before you get too excited.
Didn't the PS5 boot signing keys leak recently? The word when that happened was that it blew PS5 modding wide open in a way that couldn't be closed without new hardware, though I guess publishing anything that used Sony's key would have their lawyers after you real quick.
Back in March this year, security engineer and modder Andy Nguyen started experimenting with running Linux on the PS5. After months of testing and improvements, he has finally released PS5-Linux
Math was never my strongest point, but something doesent add up here.
Made sense to the LLM!
The world without editors.
There are editors. It is just an Ai chat bot 🤷
So worse than no editor.
Math was never my strongest point
Think of it like a toddler.
The first 9 months, it's not even an infant yet. Then boom, you get a baby. 6 months of development later you have a 6 month old toddler. But process started 15 months ago.

Me, looking over at my mouse in its cage while I sit at my laptop: 🤔
Did God have mercy on it?

PS4 crying in a corner
Every time I think I know something.
Well gotta turn off auto updates immediately
Good thing mine has been unplugged ever since I realized a docked steam deck paired with ps5 controllers was a way better experience than using the PS5 anyway
If it was on, I assume it is already updated to 5.x which patched the vulnerability. But if it is 4.x then you're in luck.
With hardware prices being what they are is this actually a good deal?
I would personally try to go for a BC-250 blade setup, less performance but roughly half the cost of a secondhand ps5 (in Aus at least) and still capable of modern gaming
I suppose that also depends on time invested tinkering and sourcing components for the BC-250 like an ssd, enclosure and psu
I can't wait for bringus studios to release a video where he games on a PS5.
He essentially did. He did that one build with one of those ps5 reject boards. Based off that I assumed the ps5 could run standard Linux but I haven't cared about consoles and modding in a very long time.
I wonder how it compares to the steam machine.
Well, you can get the hardware now for one.
Would be an interesting comparison once it does release though. Especially for a price/performance comparison now that Sony increased PS5 pricing.
Fml, my ps5 is up to date. Maybe I can try and buy an old one and sell mine.
Is it cost effective?
If you can pick up a second-hand PS5, possibly. Obviously is if you already own one and wanna Proton it.
Isn't the PS5 already a fully functional gaming computer?
The hardware is sold under value, by having the games more expensive. And if you have the console, you're locked in, don't have a choice.
Just like printers, actually.
To access most of the internet you must pay a subscription. Plus the games you buy on the ps5 can't be put on any other device.
I know this because I bought baldurs gate and Helldiver's, and had to purchase them again on steam.
A ps5 and most consoles are a sunk-cost-fallacy machine.
The fact that steam games are cross platform is because you buy a license. Very rarely a cd-rom would have Mac and Windows in one, but in that regard desktops were mostly like consoles not so long ago.
You always only buy a license. Get a crack, then you own the game.
Mindblown.
