linux now on PS4 4.55 or 4.05.

Still not really sure why you would want to do this, but you can now install Linux on your PS4, that is if you are running firmware 4.55 or 4.05 and have the "FAT" version of the PS4. Developer Valentin Breiz ran the DC's kernel exploit to load Linux. Full instructions are on in the link, but I would suggest installing Linux on the old laptop in the garage before you accidentally brick your PS4.

Yet ANOTHER Windows 10 hack. This flaw let's the hacker take full control of your computer, so installing their latest update might be something you want to do right now. An attacker could place a specially crafted malicious file in a location that is scanned by the Malware Protection Engine to exploit the memory corruption flaw which eventually leads to remote code execution. Who knows though, maybe this could be Microsoft's way of getting you to actually update your machine, that's just a theory though...
