Some of the problems that this article mentions (like the PSP not connecting to modern wifi) can't even be addressed by software/firmware updates. The PSP's hardware supports 802.11b and WEP. There is no way to make it suppor

Frankly, I can't think of any way to proxy or decrypt it that would result in the packets still being destined for the same Microsoft IP, but with port 80 instead of 443. The only explanation I could think of was that it falls back to

Well, firstly, it wouldn't be port 80 in that case.

I'm actually fairly certain that the Twitter post is referring to the start menu search. I see exactly 0 network requests when typing into the run box.

In corporate environment how do you not already have an admin who can handle this just like they handle any of your other self-hosted needs? I've never worked for a single company that didn't have something hosted internally.
