There is nothing you can say to me to convince me the steamdeck is not a console.

"ho but it runs linux" is not a justification because the fat ps3 ALSO ran linux for a time anyway...

Nobody insisted the UYUA was a phone just because it ran android.

Hell even windows 11 can natively run APKs now

@Rasp the #PS2 phat even hat an official #Linux #Kit with a HDD!

@kkarhan @Rasp ps3 Linux will be missed rip soldier :'/

@B_Whitewind @Rasp *nodds in agreement*

My University did [and propably still does] run a #PS3 cluster for compute works...

@kkarhan @Rasp we could of been living in space by now but noooooo they couldn't just let us have Linux ps3 because "blue rays"
@B_Whitewind @kkarhan it was still the cheapest bluray player on the market at the time.

@Rasp @B_Whitewind at release, yes...

In fact with the original #phat #PS3 Sony would only break even at launch if one were to buy the entire launch lineup twice...

And yes, I need to find out how to downgrade a phat #PS3 after I modded the half a dozen 360s I accumulated for cheap...

@B_Whitewind @Rasp actually it wasn't #BluRay, but #Sony's unwillingness to fix the #Hypervisor and instead prusue #geohot in a desperate "shooting the messenger" move...

Sadly that didn't backfire too hard except everyone was ckacking the #PS3 once #Sony pissed off everyone...

Yes, George Hotz, also known as geohot, is a well-known hacker and programmer. He gained significant attention in the tech community for his involvement in jailbreaking and hacking various electronic devices, including the Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3).

In 2010, George Hotz became widely known for successfully hacking the PS3 and developing a method to install custom firmware on the console, enabling users to run homebrew software and unauthorized applications. His work on the PS3 attracted both admiration from those who supported the concept of device freedom and legal action from Sony.
