A new jailbreak for the PlayStation 5 reportedly allows the console to run software well outside Sony's intended ecosystem, including Nintendo games, physical PS2 discs, PS3 titles, and even the Windows 7 operating system. The development expands on earlier PS5 jailbreaking efforts that unlocked custom firmware and homebrew support.
Tom's Hardware installed Windows 7 on current gaming hardware and tested it against Windows 11 across eight DirectX 11 titles and two DirectX 9 titles. The outlet found Windows 7 posted notable performance advantages over Windows 11 in several of these games despite being 17 years old.
Raymond Chen recounts that Windows 7 added a right-click context menu to the classic vertical scroll bar, including a 'Scroll Here' option letting users jump directly to a clicked position instead of dragging the thumb. A lesser-known companion shortcut, holding Shift while clicking the scroll bar, does the same thing. He notes that most modern app frameworks have replaced native Win32 scroll bars with custom ones that only partially preserve these features: Chromium-based apps support Shift+click but not the context menu, WPF supports both, and WinUI supports neither.
