It was Sony's proprietary format, the only one they sold, and they sold it with DRM enabled meaning the files couldn't be shared across devices. I had a Sony Walkman, bought one album off Connect, and lost it when Sony closed the store. Well, it's probably still on my Walkman who's battery is likely dead. But I can listen for free on Spotify anyways.
Does it relate to PS5 at all?DRM is indeed a content/store thing. I presume Sony decided to implement a standardised DRM unlike for example what exists with MP3s, which is a format that supports DRM but where there are many incompatible schemes. I think we got here because of an assertion that Sony create storage mediums to push their DRM, but I don't think they ever have. You expect them to be interested in DRM though given their music and movie arms.
What's weird, precisely?
It's an interesting reminder that liquid is impacted by gravity, but it will take huge numbers of failures for me to decide to re-orientate mine. Severals cases over two years from launch on what is now 30m units sold? If this happens to you, you have been extraordinarily unlucky.
yep! i dont expect most people will encounter this for eons, even after PS6 or something got released.
I suspect it’s largely a defect in the seal for affected units which don’t seem to be many so far.
No PS5 does need liquid metal. A youtuber tried it and overheated his PS5. Don't remember which youtuber though.
Its the only oil I got. It does have lots of warning labels.
