What was with 90s and early 2000s marketing having a thing for hamsters? I remember Quiznos had a hamster commercial too, and I think Scion (Toyota?) did too. Why hamsters?
That’s the reason back in 2013 or so I switched to PS3 for my main gaming. MS wanted a shitload for a tiny ass 360 hard drive, but with Sony it came with a 250GB drive out the gate and I replaced it with a 1TB for less than the 250 from Microsoft
Of course, I switched to PC because Sony got greedy again with no mp3s on the system, trying to make me re-buy games I already had, and charging for online
Sony also didn’t like it that companies bought PS3s in bulk and used them as cheap compute power. They sell the consoles at a loss but make that up on game sales and licensing. Someone buying them and not gaming is cutting into their profit.
No.
Sony didn’t like otherOS because geohot used it in his first exploit.
That is all
Not a coincidence that they removed it shortly after geos findings ;)

Honestly one of my favorite things about my ps5. I can appreciate the small repair moves, but I’d still appreciate „Other OS” being brought back.
They officially supported that aswell, then they quietly stopped the way Kia left the furry community
Whatcha mean about Kia and the furry community? A quick search has failed me.
Their mascot used to be hamsters.

This was the mid 2010s

OtherOS is never coming back, it gives too much freedom to probe at the hardware and find security exploits.
