Wait, wasn’t it the other way around? There was that fail0verflow slide about how the PS3 took unusually long to crack if you count from the release, but essentially the same time as other consoles if you count from the moment one couldn’t run other OSes on it.
- lilyball 5y agoIf it was cracked after Linux was removed, then what was the reason for removing Linux? My recollection was that it was a security vulnerability.
- znpy 5y agoSome people started buying ps3 to build compute clusters. This was because the ps3 had a very strong processor made by ibm, using rhe powerpc isa. This meant that ibm started losing sales of their powerpc systems. So the story i know is that ibm "asked" sony to stop allowing linux on the ps3.
