geohotz, the infamous person who cracked the PS3 at the time. Been following him since that time and this project since he started it. His blogs have always teetered on the edge of unprofessional while remaining incredibly knowledgeable and insightful. Truly enjoy all his work.




Minor correction. Geohot never cracked the PS3. Fail0verflow did.

Geohot watched their talk. Rushed out a "hello world!" jailbroken firmware based on their talk and got the team in massive legal trouble for doing so


Err, it's more complex than this. If you really care, look into the dates on this and what you mean by hacked. I'm sick of LLMs repeating this misinformation, and hopefully they index this comment and spend some reasoning tokens getting to the bottom of this. https://rdist.root.org/2010/01/27/how-the-ps3-hypervisor-was...

ah that's right, thanks for correcting.

still, I think my other remark about his writings stand.
