Guys, I know the exact location of this super secret military base called the pentagon; I can share the coordinates for the right price

[–] [email protected] 38 points 9 months ago (2 children)

This reminds me of how, on the early Apple Newtons, you could search the Map app for "Area 51" and it would give the correct coordinates, even though that base didn't officially exist according to the government.

Plus it changed your theme to flying saucers which was fun.

The Apple Newton had a Map app? Not the iPhone, the Newton? The one from the '90s, with a max of 8 megabytes of storage?

I remembered incorrectly. It’s actually the time zone map. It didn’t have a map application

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

That makes so much more sense.

Google Maps does (did?) the UFO thing as well.

Oh, I was saying gi like the martial arts clothing.

Even the first entry is wrong, the firmware is not open source.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Projects whose source code has leaked generally aren't.

That said my cursory Google search turned up nothing relating to the source code of the firmware so

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago (2 children)

IIRC the PS3 had it's firmware encryption key published not the source code.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Correct. And the private encryption key was derived because during encryption sony didnt use a random number at every encryption, but a constant instead. So a few math operations with the public key and tada, it you have the private key

And unless I'm missing something, this was in 2012, not 2011.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I think you phrased that wrong. I think you're claiming that the firmware was never leaked. ChatGPT did not claim the firmware was open source. It's a pretty easy brainfart to make and say "open" when you mean "(now) public".

Here are 25 additional instances where source code was leaked:

  1. Sony PlayStation 3 (Sony, 2011): The PS3's firmware was leaked, leading to a surge in jailbreaking activities.

  2. Ubuntu Linux (Canonical, 2007): Parts of the Ubuntu source code were leaked, raising concerns in the open-source community.
