Edit: it seems I may have understood how this works. See replies for details. PSA if you have a Bluray drive: Flash it with LibreDrive ASAP. Otherwise every disc you insert carries the risk of rendering your drive permanently useless. https://problemeowtic.net/fediverse/post/40725ad4-a878-4351-a1e2-70497634ced6

@Misofist@girlcock.club A Bluray disc carrying a firmware update makes me think of these 3DS cartridges that embedded system firmware updates :dragn_happy:

@Misofist@girlcock.club this only affects legitimate playback, ripping doesn't care if the cert is revoked (unless the new keys haven't been dumped yet but that shouldn't take that long)

@Misofist@girlcock.club Yeeeesh. We don't have a Bluray drive (have been wanting to get one for ages, but they're a little pricey). Do we have to look for specific models of drive to be able to put LibreDrive on it?

@Misofist@girlcock.club Does this also affect standalone players?
