> If you want to play Playstation games on your PS5 you must suffer Sony’s restrictions, but if you want to convert your PS5 into an emulator running Linux that should be possible.

This is what Sony did with the PS3, but afaik Linux was then used as a backdoor to jailbreak the "PS3 OS" and sideload games.

I guess, this is why Sony abandoned the idea of allowing Linux on their consoles. Kind of sad, but understandable.

How is it worse than using a password? I think I'm missing something, please explain.

1) User goes to BAD website.

2) BAD website says “Please enter your email and password”.

3) BAD’s bots start a “Log in with email and password” on the GOOD website using the user’s email and password.

4) BAD now has full access to the user’s GOOD account.

Wow, i really like this, especially the Math blocks. How do I create them?

CMD + L is not working on Safari, since it will open the address bar.
