congrats to the developers of the new xbox one exploit for manipulating the hardware you own to run the code you want, which is something so vile and disgusting to see in personal computing

i dont care what you have to say about "just buy a developer license"

it's a psychological move pushed by microsoft to fragment the homebrew community into those who want to stay in the legal zone (just run emulators and shit) and deal with worse performace, payments, and device registration in the process, and those who actually wanted to use their hardware (EVIL people)

"yes bro you get full access but its worse cause of dev tools and it's paid and you need to connect to microsoft's servers but bro it's accessible you can put dolphin on it"

a computer where you need two percise voltage manipulations to run the programs you want is just a fancy ASIC for most people

article about the exploit
Microsoft’s ‘unhackable’ Xbox One has been hacked by 'Bliss' — the 2013 console finally fell to voltage glitching, allowing the loading of unsigned code at every level

A groundbreaking hack for Microsoft’s ‘unhackable’ Xbox One was revealed at the recent RE//verse 2026 conference.

@aei I wounder how they did it, because if #Microsoft did their homework right, this should not have been possible on the #XboxOne…

@kkarhan to quote an article:

> Eventually, the Bliss exploit was formulated, where two precise voltage glitches were made to land in succession. One skipped the loop where the ARM Cortex memory protection was setup. Then the Memcpy operation was targeted during the header read, allowing him to jump to the attacker-controlled data.

@aei so basically an #RGH-style hack in the Security Coprocessor.

@aei It truly is amazing that console manufacturers actually managed to convince people that they shouldn't expect to be able to run whatever they want on the hardware they buy and that this is totally normal and anyone doing otherwise is bad.

Hurray for Felony Contempt of Business Model.
