I’m sorry but this is specifically an example of how this technology deployed without context is fucking up scenes. I fucking hate these people. You gave a hypervisor exploit to Sony, are you fucking high?

Excited for this! Hypervisor bugs are the first step to a sandbox escape....
Could there be observable bugs in the laws of physics? I've only skimmed this, but it looks like a fun and interesting exploration of the idea (and not hung up on the simulation hypothesis, thankfully).

Here's my newest bit of fun: ABadAvatar, a fully automatic from-boot dashboard exploit for the Xbox 360, using Grimdoomer's BadUpdate exploit!

First part explaining the Xbox 360 hypervisor exploit is here!
Keep in mind as Grimdoomer has said: This is not a softmod, not persistent, takes about 20 minutes to trigger, and has a 30% success rate.
Get excited, but keep expectations realistic 🙂
