PS3 finally hacked?


Recommended Posts

Says the guy that circumvented Apple security to run OSX on a hackintosh. Talk about hypocrisy.

Cracking PS3 is just the same as cracking Apple security, one lets you use unsigned code like media players, emulators, etc.. the other allows you to use Apple software on non-Apple hardware.

*edit* I like how you stealthily removed your Hackintosh sig.

Thread should be merged with ps3 hacked. As many devices can deliver the payload now.

This is a rather unique device to jailbreak the PS3 with. I think it warrants its own thread, but I'll leave that for the mods to decide.

I just find it interesting that someone programmed a freaking calculator to hack their PS3. This isn't a PS3 bash thread by any means.

Every device under the sun is being used to hack the PS3, it really doesn't warrant the separate topic. Otherwise we're going to be spammed with pages on each device.

The calculator isn't a special case, it should be merged with the ongoing topic.

If a mod thinks that's the case, they will do so.

I don't get what is so remarkable, if you can program something, you can no doubt sent the data needed for the jailbrake, its not like a pen drive is some super powerful technology.

As as mentioned, this should be really be merged with the current topic, we don't need a topic for every device that will do it. :p

The only devices I've seen are a USB drive, a phone, and a calculator. Am I missing something?

The calculator is the only unique device to me, because it generally doesn't hold the same kind of data you'll see found on a computer/phone, as it's almost never compatible (and, thus, never able to be uploaded). Is that not unique?

maybe the calculator it self was jailbroken?

Depends on if your willing to put in the time to do something with another device I guess, this isn't exactly a typical calculator.

They could do it with a VCR if they want, it still wouldn't need its own topic. :p

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "typical calculator." If you mean it isn't a simple arithmetic calculator, you're right. But this is the same kind of calculator I used all throughout high school. The only unique thing about it is that you can use a rudimentary form of basic programming on it, using a programming language that is specific to the calculator. Having written basic programs for it, I find it extremely amazing a PS3 was jailbroken with it.

And I disagree. If they could do it with a VCR, it would most definitely deserve it's own topic (even moreso than this deserves its own topic) given the way a VCR operates.

Then maybe someone can hopefully do it on a VCR so we can have another topic on it. :p

    • I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.
    • Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
