Sony Announces PlayStation Bug Bounty Program, PS4 Jailbreak ETA Never?
It's been just over 2 years since the last Full PS4 Jailbreak was publicly released, and as some PlayStation scene devs shared optimistic Tweets that if more homebrew is made they may work on a new jailbreak while others alluded that one may surface after the PS5 Release this Holiday 2020 with today's PlayStation Bug Bounty Program announcement by Sony offering rewards starting at $50,000.00 for critical PS4 vulnerabilities the proverbial PS4 Jailbreak question ETA WEN? may soon become ETA Never as $ony pays off hackers for disclosing new exploits to be patched. 
Following Microsoft's XBox Bounty Program launch, that could mean only those who already own or are still able to Locate a PS4 5.05 / 5.07 Jailbroken Console would be able to enjoy recent advancements in the PS4 homebrew scene including the OpenOrbis DevKit PS4 Library Ports, Mira Project PS4 Homebrew Tools and the OpenOrbis PS4 Toolchain with a reduced chance of seeing a Future PS4 Jailbreak Exploit being publicly released.

PlayStation 5 (PS5) in a Factory Setting Image Surfaces and Site Poll
As the PS5 News broke during the PS5 Gaming Showcase and the world got a peek at their next-gen PlayStation 5 Console Hardware, we've covered Sony's PlayStation 5 Q&A Session follow-up and this weekend the first image of a PlayStation 5 (PS5) in a Factory Setting surfaced online via Theorry. 
It appears to be slightly bigger than initially expected, however, according to reports the large PS5 size helps it to stay cool as PlayStation's Matt MacLaurin explained on his Linked In page when asked why the system is so big and bulky responding simply with: "Thermals." β¨
He elaborated by stating the following, to quote: "This gen is little supercomputers. While the 7nm process delivers amazing heat performance for the power, the power is very extreme."
In other words this technology needs to stay cool, so larger casing (and heatsink) is a must.
Now that Sony confirmed both a PlayStation 5 console with an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive and a PlayStation 5 Digital Edition without a disc drive will be available during Holiday 2020...
