Is there any way to delete the update file or completly stop it from asking me to update since its anoying and I can accidentaly update my console
that's the fun part, you don't. Sony downloads updates anyway (even if you set the option off) as long as you're connected to the internet, so if you miss click it's over
Windows 10 kind of forces u to update also you can still chose when or even if but it kind of just appears sometimes and you can accidentaly click it also even if you dont have a playstation look at what they did to helldivers 2 on pc
Yes but imagine the plague of cheaters ruining PSN for everyone else.And Flow, much like smealum and others before him, is an industry rat and attention seeker. Nothing gets revealed if it is currently useful, so if any exploits are known, he already told Sony so we'll never have GoldHEN on a version with PSN access. Wonderful in the generation where 50-75% of the games are locked behind DLCs.
Nintendo Wi-Fi being an absolute waste of existence is what ruined online, not hackers. The Wii and Wii U at no point in their lifespans had any useful ability to connect to the internet for playing games.
How wrong could you be do you have the slightest idea of how many online features the Wii U had
Thats actually how most modern systems work. Windows, IOS, Playstation, Xbox, etc.
Yeah, and it considering that they would rather update themselves to keep things consistent with their hardware instead of allowing us to do it whenever we want. Used to be like that! But not anymore.
Well yeah they know that if they easily allow people to stay on older versions it can lead to more people with modded systems.
This is likely a troll account. Those people that you mentioned have no obligations to report their exploits to the community. Also these exploits require lots of research and time that can end up to months to be fully realized. Their work needs to be profitable to them somehow and obv the work will go to the highest bidder because they live in the same world as you where they pay for the cost of living. Yes, there are community donations but that amounts to NOTHING to what bug bounty programs offers. The bug bounty is also a good thing that it exist because it actually motivates more people to search for exploits. It is true that those will be reported to Sony but these exploits are likely to be disclosed at some point, so the community still profits on the long run.And Flow, much like smealum and others before him, is an industry rat and attention seeker.

If you want to know the technicality of what the Update blocker for PS4 does, it creates a folder with the name of the update file and that prevents the system from downloading the update since the system doesn't know what to do. I am not sure if at one point Sony patched it by clearing the entire folder if updates fail to download.
