I feel that way about Apple, and I haven't bought an Apple product - they screwed my parents over in 1986.
I also feel the same way about most of sony, but I respect their playstation group - or at least I did - PS3 was one of the best consoles/media-centers you could buy. It still is a great system. I'm kind of disappointed with the PS4.

Was it the PS2 that was initially capable of booting some customized version of Linux...then they quietly killed the feature (despite selling a kit for it) through some update...
Then the PlayStation Network a few years ago was down for over a month while they figured out how to secure their customers' data...
Then before that they had audio CDs that installed rootkits...
I've witnessed firsthand Sony taking away access to the 3D demo library from my folks' 3D TV less than 2 years after they bought it.
I've totally lost respect for Sony as a company, and there's nothing they could offer me to get back on their bandwagon.

That's fair enough. To each their own. FWIW I'm probably switching over to Xbox for my next gen console anyway.

I only have an Xbox One S because it was so heavily discounted on Black Friday a few years ago - to this day I still can't find it at the price I paid back then.
When I purchased it, the standalone UHD Blu-ray players were still going for a few hundred bucks, so I view it as having purchased a UHD player that incidentally came with a gaming console.

Lets encrypt has free certs.

I wasn't very clear, sorry. The issue is the PS4 (the client) expects a specific cert or it won't download.

Out of curiosity, why not keep downloaded games on an external drive?
|
|
|
|
|
Because the PS4 will not install them that way. They can ONLY be installed via disc or via the "playstation network" download facility.

Nah, not from an external disc, on an external disc.
I forget which one, but one of the recent updates brought with it the ability to install games onto USB storage. You dedicate the drive, format it and you're off and racing/figting/shooting whatever!

Really? That's news to me.

You can install them to the external, right? I don't know for sure how it all works, because I don't own a PS4, but this link suggests you can move installations between external/internal drive.

That might be a more recent feature. I'll check it out. I don't want to install on an external drive because I *think* PS4 only does USB2 so I'd be concerned about speed issues. Maybe it's not an issue though, I don't know.

Hey,
The real security issue here is that some of the 'cross-play' games that are implemented with HTML5/javascript do not use certificate pinning which potentially allows modification of game assets.

Not quite 23.5M as I'm writing this, so you're either a time traveler or some people somehow have managed to unsee it.

Went there for the first time a couple of years ago. Within a half hour the wife and child went "yup, looks just like the picture", we can go now.
On the other hand they had a great time at the Lowell Observatory (odd, as neither of them are into science stuff), go figure.
