What exactly did this guy do to deserve being sued/getting this hate?


He dared to work on a way to re-enable Linux. Which clearly makes him worse than Hitler.


You do know that Hitler was this egotistic meglomaniac who tried to control a people through false propaganda and the attempt of the genocide of another group people, right?

Yes, exactly. That Hitler fellow has nothing on graf_chokolo.

I don't know which is worse, your lack of Simpsons knowledge or your broken sarcasm detector. Then again, judging from your avatar, The Simpsons are probably older than you, so I can't blame you.

indeed, seems like the "homebrew community" didn't manage to brainwash everyone with their propaganda

Don't you mean "pirate community"? Because obviously all people who don't want to be spied on and who wish to retain features they paid money for are dirty pirates, and should be put to death like the scurvy dogs they are!


On Sunday, Sony announced that it the next Playstation 3 firmware update will cut off “Other OS” support, which allowed users to install Linux distributions on the console. Effective April 1, PS3 Linux users will have to back up their data and wave goodbye to the feature or avoid the update and sacrifice online play and other features. Sony has only pinned the change on “security concerns,” but hacker George “Geohot” Hotz, who released the first-ever PS3 hack earlier this year (preceded by several high-profile iPhone jailbreaks), which could ultimately allow piracy or other nefarious uses of the consoles, believes he played a role

 

at the end of 2009, George Hotz announced via his blog that he was attempting to hack the PS3. His way in was through Other OS. The PS3's security "Hypervisor" allowed homemade Linux to run, but in a supervised mode with no access to lower level system functionality. Geohot bypassed the hypervisor, and published elements of the exploit online leaving the rest of the work to other hackers to work on pirated games playable on PS3 and cheating online . Sony's response was to issue Firmware update v3.21, which disabled Other OS, removing the Linux fuctionality and closing the system to home coders.

 

the sad thing is, that your post will be ignored!

the hackers repaeted their mantra of "bringing back other OS" so many times that they forgot it was one of them who actually had to brag about hacking the PS3, so sony felt it was better to remove it.

And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Absolutely. They have the right to have paid-for features removed from their property and be spied on, and the responsibility not to complain about it.

Exactly. The paid-for features include hacking, pirating and....oh wait.

Not at all, I did commend Sony for their awesome strategy of removing Linux from PS3 when they introduced the slim model, and then retroactively from all models.

BTW, Sony was obvioulsy right to disable Linux, because that way they successfully kept PS3 from being hacked, and the Slims that never had Linux in the first place are also completely unhackable. Just thought I should mentions this, because you have to give credit where credit is due!

of course, you just fail to mention that geohot was the reason they did it in the first place.

That's right, geohot started hacking PS3 before the slim model without Linux was released! That bastard! Oh wait, it was the other way around. Sony first released a new PS3 without Linux, and THEN hackers got interested.
