If you have a PS5 and haven't used it in a while, check the firmware version. Anything under 13.60 will probably be so jailbroken soon you could run linux on it.

A lot of consoles on store shelves are running this version

Here's hoping the Chinese make some game changing revolutionary new format that leapfrogs the data center hoarding and makes gaming affordable again.

    Because of the restrictions on litography machines, they were pretty much forced to optimize and research tech before western companies to be able to complete. Latest examples are Huawei's Kirin chips "LogicFolding" (distributing logic from the same chip over multiple stacked layers) and CXMT preparing to launch 4F² memory two years before Samsung.

    This means that if, inshallah, they manage to manufacture their own UV litography machines, they could already be at the lead.

    This means little on the short term for gaming affordability though. That being said, CXMT had a gigantic boom and are expanding dramatically. They plan to overtake Micron and become the third biggest DRAM provider by 2030. Just last year marketshare charts were lumping them with "Others"
