The PS3 got an update in may.

Really? What was the update?

It also reminds me of how I have not used any newer video game console than the PS2. I'm so behind the times!

They've added some keys to keep BR discs playing in recent updates, and apparently you can't create a PSN account from a PS3 anymore. There were "quality" and "performance" fixes until 2020.

It's my last console, the first was a SNES followed by a PSP. I used OtherOS but then upgraded anyway when it was gone. The Youtube/Netflix apps still work fine. I'm going try CFW one of these days on my early slim, just to know the temperature. https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Thermal

I am surprised AACS still bothers issuing new batches of keys. Blu-Ray copy protection has been pretty thoroughly broken for over a decade now. The fact that most people no longer have optical drives on their computers is a bigger barrier to casual movie piracy than AACS.
