Nope, it hasn't been posted. I don't really feel sorry for them as it's not as if they break easily, especially if they aren't even using them for gaming, and even then, i'm sure it's not impossible to find models with OtherOS still there and there's even GeoHot's workaround.
I do not morally support the Zionist militaries of the West, so I definitely don't feel sorry for them, but what stands out is the use of consumer grade electronics for what is supposed to be national defense. The most cost effective solution is not always the best one. It is just a bad way of doing things

From what I read it doesn't really effect the airforce since the PS3's aren't connected to the playstation network. The only way it could hinder them is if a PS3 in the system dies and needs to be replaced. But surely Sony would just issue some without the update for the airforce if they asked nicely.

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 funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

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

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.

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".

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.

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 -
