For those of us still on OFW 3.50, is it safe to update to the newly released 3.55? or would that somehow disable this WebKit exploit thus hindering any opportunity of future homebrew potential?

Figures that I hadn't played my PS4 in a month or two, decided to turn it on like a day or 2 ago, updated the Firmware, and NOW I find this?! I'm going to be really upset if 3.50 turns out to be the needed FW for a hugely amazing exploit :(

Bump. I would like to know as I wouldn't mind updating if it's safe to in order to use online services

if you expect a hack out of this i guess you should not update at all.
this news was online far too long. i guess the update fixed it.

I dont really care for an exploit on ps4... its my main online device so no reason to hack it.
i updated - no major changes ... but i guess the PoC is not working anymore?
Not quite sure.... i could test it maybe... just not now ^^'

Okay, please let me know when you've tested it out, I would love a potential exploit if it ever happens, and too many times have I updated and missed my opportunity. But if the update indeed stops this exploit I will refrain from updating any further.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
