jailbroken

Beeper, the messaging platform that has fought hard to bring Apple's iMessage to Android phones, seems to have released a final update for its service. After multiple attempts at making iMessage work on Android devices reliably, with workarounds that involved users accessing a Mac, Beeper has said its efforts to bring the popular messaging service on Android are “unsustainable.” The company announced its future plans hours after it said it had found a stable solution for iMessages to work on Android for Beeper Mini and…

When Beeper Mini launched earlier this month, it was a pretty big deal. The company was able to reverse-engineer a way to get iMessage working on Android without the need for an old Mac or other Apple device nor needing to login to your Apple ID. Of course, that didn’t last long. Now, after a few different methods have been blocked by Apple, Beeper has detailed its latest route for getting iMessage to work on Android. The blog post actually went live yesterday but was quickly removed. Today, the blog post is back up.…

A modder has finally jailbroken the PlayStation 5 in order to download an old game that’s unavailable on the system. But trying to play that game is an entirely different story. PlayStation modder SpecterDev shared an experimental IPV6 kernel exploit for the PS5 on Twitter last night. In case you’re not sure what jailbreaking is, it’s a hacking technique that’s often done on smartphones and other electronic devices to unlock debug menus and allow the use of software not supported by current firmware. This particular…

While it’s thankfully getting much easier to buy a PlayStation 5, the nearly two-year-old console has had enough time with modders to slowly (very slowly) get picked apart. Now, hackers have demonstrated how a recent IPV6 kernel exploit utilizing a Webkit vulnerability can allow users access to a Debug Settings Menu in the PS5’s dashboard. This menu allows a user to poke and prod around settings usually reserved for developers, including a package installer that can install PKG files for PS4 and PS5 games. While this may…
