You don't need to lecture me about Sony, seeing as I was named as a defendant in that lawsuit :-) I never said the games industry are the good guys. Certainly

I never said the games industry are the good guys. Certainly not Sony.
Though, for comparison, Microsoft hired some of the Xbox 360 hackers, and now the Xbox One has the best security of all the consoles. Food for thought.
- girvo 6y agoThe Xbox One also deterred myself from even needing to look at hacking it, by allowing me to run my own code on it (with restricted functionality to be fair). Homebrew is why I was a part of the GCN scene back in the day :)
- Kaze404 6y agoHow does that work? Does the Xbox One have an official SDK?
- girvo 6y agohttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/xbox-apps/devkit-activation https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/xbox-apps/devki... It’s only the UWP platform, so it’s not full access, but it’s good fun for my homebrew fiddling :)
- Kaze404 6y agoWhoa, that's incredible. I'm definitely getting a Series X now, thanks.
- marcan_42 6y agoAnd the PS3 deterred all of us with PS3 Linux, until they got rid of it in a firmware update (quite likely violating consumer protection laws), after which we all started looking at it. Then it turned out all the "amazing security" of the Cell architecture boiled down to a bunch of things thrown at a wall with no sense nor reason. And Sony botched the crypto so badly they became the textbook example of how to screw up ECDSA and allow anyone to derive your private keys.
