Sony was at the top of the world and while their design of the PS2 was unorthodox still became the best selling console of all time with a fantastic game library and great graphics for the time. Sony wanted to follow the same philosophy for the PS3 hardware design and that was exactly what they did, only times where different and designing all the chips like they did on the two previous generations wasn't really feasible anymore. Also the PS3 hit at literally the worst time, there was a tectonic shift about to happen, the thinking at the time was to offload some GPU workloads to heavily specialized units in the CPU they had low programmability but were powerful for some very specific workloads, but literally a few days before the PS3 launch NVIDIA released the 8000 series GPUs (Tesla) and it had unified shaders, and it introduced CUDA which meant GPUs were no longer just for graphics but could be used for others things as well (GPGPU) and basically made any other design obsolete overnight.

Update March 8, 2022: EFF has clarified that Channels and Groups are not fully encrypted, end-to-end, updated our post to link to Telegram’s FAQ for Cloud and Secret chats, updated to clarify that auto-delete is available for group and channel admins, and added some additional links. "Russians are really disconnected from the reality of what happening to their country," Andrey said. "So Telegram has become essential for understanding what's going on to the Russian-speaking world." This ability to mix the public and the private, as well as the ability to use bots to engage with users has proved to be problematic. In early 2021, a database selling phone numbers pulled from Facebook was selling numbers for $20 per lookup. Similarly, security researchers found a network of deepfake bots on the platform that were generating images of people submitted by users to create non-consensual imagery, some of which involved children. These entities are reportedly operating nine Telegram channels with more than five million subscribers to whom they were making recommendations on selected listed scrips. Such recommendations induced the investors to deal in the said scrips, thereby creating artificial volume and price rise. The account, "War on Fakes," was created on February 24, the same day Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation" and troops began invading Ukraine. The page is rife with disinformation, according to The Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, which studies digital extremism and published a report examining the channel.
