It was quite the interesting thing to run back then — it was all very “Wild West” of software, and a LOT of stuff didn’t work well.

It wasn’t my daily driver; it really wasn’t ready for most workloads back then. But it was nearly free, and we shared around the CD-ROM amongst hacker friends interested in giving it a try.

My experience modding r/Canning burnt me out on online canning forums. There is a ton of unsafe information out there, and so I just got out of online canning discussions altogether.

There was a Lemmy instance out there that was intended to revolve around self sufficiency that offered me moderation rights to their canning forum, but that instance didn’t really take off, nobody ever posted to their canning community, and the instance went offline several months ago.

I still can — but I don’t participate in any online canning communities, so I’m not sure what’s trustworthy out there right now.

Canadian here as well, and no — we can’t participate. Not that it hasn’t stopped them from contacting me several times anyway.

Unfortunately, even if this IPO crashes and burns the real villains in this story are going to make it out with millions in their pockets.

Yeah, you may have seen some of my posts from the time on r/Save3rdPartyApps and/or r/ModCoord. I was one of the few pretty vocal that we had to hold the line, and that a simple two week blackout wasn’t going to be effective. I knew they’d either be forced to capitulate or kick me out as the head moderator or r/Canning — and wasn’t surprised after most of the other mods chickened out that they did just that.

I wasn’t about to chicken out — the worst they could do is remove from me the privilege of working for them for free. My entire personality and self-worth wasn’t tied to being a Reddit moderator.

I’m still technically a moderator elsewhere, but I haven’t been active since June (no posts, no moderation, no messages). It’s an artifact of being one of the approved contributors on r/AskScience — they delegate a controlled set of moderator powers to anyone in their Panel Plus programme.

You’re not the first to have noted that — but it remains funny, so we’re good 🤣.

So they voted ‘neigh’?

They kicked myself and my entire mod team from r/Canning because we held a vote and our users asked us to shut the community down in protest of their 3rd party app policies.

Then recently they emailed and messaged me telling me I could get in on the ground floor of buying shares.

That’s going to be a big resounding “no” from me there u/spez.

Yggdrasil LGX, back in ‘93.

Depends on if the libraries being used for high speed I/O have certain expectations as to how many parallel ops can be made at once. Recall that the PS5 I/O complex contains the following components:

• Dedicated DMA Controller
• Dedicated Decompression Chip
• 2 I/O Co-processors
• On chip SRAM
• Coherency chip ( which link to the GPU Scrubbers in the diagram as Cerny informed )

If any of those components have any sizing limitations that limit the size of the SSD, then they’d have to be redesigned (and potentially have every existing PS5 title upgraded) to make use of any such expanded storage. Hopefully Sony didn’t paint themselves into such a corner — but, well, I’ll just wave my hands towards the PS3 Cell processor and say no more.

Unless you’re talking about just having Sony stick a m.2 SSD into our hypothetical PS5 Pro and go with that.

The m.2 SSD’s are run off a different bus than the ones soldered into the board.

1Tb is perfectly reasonable for a base-level PS5 IMO — it keeps the costs down for all of those people who just want to buy their kids a gaming system, but who don’t really care about the specs or having hundreds of games. And internationally, a PS5 can be an expensive purchase in many countries — so keeping the costs down for those consumers is useful.

But a Pro model is already something that only real fanatics and people with disposable income are going to buy. So yeah — only having 1TB of installed storage does seem a bit paltry. It’s possible there are technical limitations involved (the built in SSD is massively parallel to hit the I/O targets, and could possibly require a redesign to support higher capacities), but otherwise it just seems paltry for a Pro model.
