Really? I’ve always used cyberpunk the same way steampunk is used — as an aesthetic, but in a cyber/tech context.
Something can be dystopian without being cyber, and something can be cyber without necessarily being dystopian.

Interesting
⚡️🎮 NEW - PlayStation 5 ROM keys leaked
➥ Sony can't fix this with a software update for existing consoles, because it's part of the physical chip.
➥ It makes it a lot easier for hackers to study how the PS5 starts up and protects itself.
➥ This could speed up work on things like homebrew (fan-made games/apps), better emulators (playing PS5 games on PC), or eventual full jailbreaks (running unsigned code).
➥ Right now, it doesn't mean you can suddenly pirate games or fully hack your PS5. There are still many other locks in the system that need to be broken first.
For normal players: Nothing changes today, your PS5 works the same. No big wave of piracy yet.
