On 1 April, it is where the new firmware, and Sony throws version 3.21 into the net for the Playstation 3. I know that this date is invited to consistently follow Best of misreporting on the lookout, but this is no joke. As the company via Blog post announces that they have finally decided for “security concerns” to carry out a small Castration: The “Other OS” will be completely disabled by the new operating software. So far, it was owners of older models (before the Slim-era) possible to install an alternative operating system, in practice, came here frequently to Linux course. Such an enlargement has made sense, since some of the PS3 have have a media center in the living room.
I have not followed the story from the beginning, but like the “Standard”Reports, was the feature” Other OS “once aggressively promoted by Sony. When the Slim, lacking the function already, but the promise was given that the previous generation of devices will remain intact. Now the company plays the role of the “Other OS down”: “For most of you will have no influence on whether we use it, the PS3″ is the somewhat tired defense.
They also say that Linux fans indeed the option of not just the new update and as always continue to do so. “However, in other words, is it said in a recent argument that” the following new features will be unavailable. “Version 3.21 brings a total of three new functions, such as the ability to log to the PlayStation Network and play DRM videos the server on a media lie. It will also increase in the near future Blu-rays give and software titles that require the new firmware. Last will be pointed out that would be a lack of a permanent fix for objectors barrier: future firmware updates remain consistently excluded by such a decision.
Who is currently the “Other OS” feature used and makes an update, generally can not access the partition, so a previous backup is strongly recommended.
