  Got everything ready to try. Just need to pull out my 360. Would I use it long term? Probably not, but this is too cool of a test to pass up.

    I like his videos a lot.

  Tangentially related: how do I make YT thumbnails (or any thumbnail, for that matter) show on Lemmy posts?

    The thumbnail shows up just fine on Voyager FWIW.

      Uh. I never see thumbnails on my posts on either my app (Lemmy) or pc (either the standard lemmy site or Alexandrite). Maybe Voyager has a built-in functionality that allows it to fetch the thumbnails frok YT when they are missing in the post itself?

  I have one at home and it’s still not hacked.

  (x) doubt.

  I’m not watching this dumb video to find out about every edge case is being exploited.

    It’s not a dumb video and it’s not an edge case. It’s a great video that goes straight to the point, has timestamps, explains in detail how the exploit works and how consistently, and showcases it.

    The exploit is BadUpdate v1.2, an evolution of the previously known BadUpdate, which was great as a proof of concept but not very useful in practice, as it required an average of 30 minutes to work, had a success rate of about 30%, and needed to be applied every time the console was rebooted (on a console with no sleep mode, may I add).

    By comparison, as shown in the dumb video, the new version of BadUpdate works flawlessly in about a minute max, and has a far greater success rate of about 80%, according to the creator. It can be launched from a USB stick and requires no additional software or hardware modification to the console, and most importantly, works on all X360 and not just earlier editions.

    If you’re too lazy to click on a link, fine, but I’d suggest at least not acting so confidently when saying things you know nothing about.

      It’s strange that console exploits wouldn’t work consistently on identical hardware with identical firmware. What is it that makes it fail so often?
