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

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 36 points 2 years 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

[–] grue@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

That makes so much more sense.

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

As long as it isn't the top-secret meeting room / Hotdog stand

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

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 31 points 2 years 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

[–] damium@programming.dev 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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.

[–] ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years 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.
