    Wow, thanks Sony. Still being cunts about copyright I see; nothing has changed since the SecuROM/XCP days…

      I swear I haven’t bought anything Sony since that happened. There are just betrayals that go too far to ever be forgiven.

        To be completely honest with you, Sony hasn’t released an interesting product in about 20 years anyway

          Their OLED TVs have the best upscaling tech and I am glad they still support 4K Blu-rays because physical media is important to me. Otherwise most of their products have better alternatives.

            They also make great projectors.

            On the TV side, they sold 51% to Chinese TCL, so I expect things will start going downhill fast from here, which is a shame.

      This is unexpected, given that Sony had a really great support for allowing bootloader unlock and support for AOSP. Till today you could flash Jolla’s SailfishOS on their devices.

        Probably has more to do with the fact that GrapheneOS doesn’t implement age verification thinking about it, I’m still gonna hold a grudge about SecuROM and XCP though

        Pretty sure that’s still possible. I mean this whole post is about someone flashing an alternative ROM to their Sony device.
