This is basically how every developer looks at me when they explain how they can do everything much easier with AI and I tell them that they've made all software open-source and reduced its value to 0 and no one will pay them to just write code behind their desks anymore.



I still don't understand why the first thing developers did with AI was make themselves redundant.
They're just that oblivious to the idea that a business has to make money.

Are you telling me Sony could have added an emulator like this the whole time?

[Snoopy]

Pioneer are so shook they’ve got their shills on YouTube warning people not to use it

This was the big takeaway from me. Genuinely I was inventing all kinds of silly stuff like "wrong laser" in my head to justify it. Like, why wouldn't you enable this if it was technically possible? 

I doubt they're making much off of the random little PS2 ports they throw up on PS+ every 3 months or whatever.

old insecure software that could buffer overflow and let the console get hacked

this assumes they don't know how to virtualize it properly and not let the game escape its shell which is actually a real possibility; I mean it would still need access to save things to the drive for the memory card, and that could be a vector, burn a homebrew PS2 disk that writes special stuff to the drive

In case you ever worry that you're under qualified for your job:

For the first time in my life I was actually wondering who maintains and owns PHP.
It's a foundation so at least there is an entity. 

Yesterday we were wating as some guy named ondrej had to update a package on his github.
Usually he did so with 1 - 36 hours. When he released the update the server hosting it immediately went down.

But you could change the update path with sudo -s -s etc. etc. Linux file commands to an alternative source.

That and Donald Trump is what underpins western civilization.

Wait until you find out about every language.

And Linux too.
