If I know anything about those communities, they sit on a bag of zero days and another bag of leads to zero days in the bootloader or whatever everjail they need to break out of.

At a glance, it looks like it exploits a bug in WebKit's JavaScriptCore JavaScript engine.
Does the PS5's WebKit use JavaScriptCore with JIT enabled? Have to wonder if Sony will respond by disabled its JIT, to narrow the attack surface.

Is it practical/sensible to turn a PS5 into a general purpose computer? What are the specs?

Playing PC Games from Steam on PS5 would be a win.

If this lets you install Linux that would be neat.
Unfortunately holding the PS5 controller gives me crippling pain in my wrists and it also doesn't have any games I care about, but if it could become a Linux media PC, you've got my attention. Especially once its price drops due to the next gen coming out.

From a non-gamer is there any reason there isn't something like an Apple TV Pro that would be a 4K gaming console? I imagine they have hardware capable of this in their existing inventory. Would it be the major game studios are kept locked in to XBox or PS consoles?
If sony released jailbroken ps5 I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Unsure why they do not let us use it as much as we can. They would definitely sell more.

Sure, "education". Releasing exploits for software vulnerabilities has very little to do with education. The relation to piracy is clear however.

Also PS5 Emulation is advancing at an insane pace. https://x.com/BrutalSam_/status/2104554823240860065
