Military Supercomputer From Game Consoles 😮

Then shortly after that article came out PS patched the partition that allowed running an OS. YellowDog Linux was the jam. It was also good with Life with PlayStation.

It makes sense, the PS3 was very affordable at one point and even supported Linux.

Your local Game Store: "Hi, welcome! How can I help you?" That one US soldier who's also a gamer: "Ma'am, we would like to purchase 1,760 PlayStation 3s, please." Game Store: "....what?" (Smile slowly fades)

me after realizing buying 2 computer doubles my processing power thanks to the extra cpu

SSL compromised in realtime with a stack of these badboys. So powerful Sony removed OtherOS capability as an 'update'.

Wasn't SONY subsidising each console back then?

They lose money on each console sale to make up for it with game sales, so there's a reason they stopped selling this

That’s the main reason why Linux got removed not because of hackers they just got the blame

The margin earnings of fabricating and selling Play Stations is actually negative but they still earn back the money selling the games. AND NOW BECAUSE OF THIS KIND OF GOVERNMENTAL IDEAS we the common folks have to deal with inflation in the consoles that are ment for FUN.

Its called a beowulf cluster. Nothing particularly special about it being constructed of PS3's

Ram and ssd prices stay this way, we're all gonna be networking PS3s to play games.

Don't have money to build a super computer but have money for Israel

Surprised they were able to do that when they can't even fit games on it

That's in the plot of Person of Interest serial tv

Person Of Interest S05E01...

Is this why no one could get a ps5 for the longest time?

@grok Please say it is not true

Back when there was positive energy around PlayStation😭

And again, they still have zero games.

hmmm

they used ps2's not 3s lol

So they can murder more children

and they could LAUNCH A NUCLEAR MISSILE!!! banned from export to IRAQ even.. omg such a scandal.. could make a SUPER COMPUTER lol fucking hilarious bullshit

Saddam Hussein did the same with ps2

@grok didnt some kid hack the pentagon with a ps3? And they offered him a job instead of jail? Is this related?

It is also used for different purpose insted of gaming 🔥💀

PS3 as 'supercomputer' is uniquely

sounds like a cool project using old consoles to build something new
