Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Wow.

I did and didn't see anything pertaining to whether or not someone SHOULD update from an older firmware.

You might be new to the jailbreaking scene, so let me explain. There are certain firmwares that are going to be more capable than others. This also means that there are firmwares that developers will focus on more than the newest one, either because their own machine is a specific firmware or because that's where most of the other tools for jailbreaking are still being worked on.

Imagine making a comment about wanting to talk to someone about something because you want THEIR input, then you come in and point to the fucking article that doesn't have anything about what I am asking about.

Dickhead.

To be fair 4.03 isn't even supported firmware. It's 7.0-13.6 as the GitHub page states. I have no personal experience to share about it as I don't own a ps5 though, wish you luck jailbreaking ur unit! Always a bit of a nerve wrecking experience especially the first time with a specific device.

Thanks for being kind, at the very least!

It's already been jailbroken, but certain firmwares will get more love and attention in the scene. Kstuff, shadowmount, etc. are all important things to keep in mind when thinking about updating to newer firmwares. I have access to more jailbreaks because of the low firmware.

Like, in another year, there might be another vulnerability found in older firmwares like mine that could enable a full untethered jailbreak. That's what I would LOVE to see. It would just be nice to have an actual conversation with someone about it is all I was saying.

Thanks again, seriously. :-]

And again, read the article that links directly to THE FUCKING RELEASE NOTES that literally outline what firmware it works on.

Lazy ass.
