The secret of the lighter weight of the new PlayStation 5 version
Last week we included you in our summary of the day on informed this website among other things, that Sony has launched a redesigned version of its PlayStation 5 gaming console in select markets. While not too many details were available at the time of this report, much more information has now emerged in this regard and related knowledge. Among the features of the "new" PlayStation 5 is, among other things, about 300 grams less weight than the original version.

Youtuber Austin Evans recently published a video in which he decided to take a closer look at the new version of the PlayStation 5. Evans had the new PlayStation 5 Digital Edition shipped all the way from Japan so he could compare it to the American model. In his video, Evans definitely does not take napkins, and he called the PlayStation 5 worse in the new version. The aforementioned YouTuber discovered that the cooling system of this version of the game console from Sony's workshop contributes to the lower weight. The cooler in this variant is roughly half the size of the original model. In his video, Evans further describes how, precisely for this reason, he encountered a noticeably higher rate of overheating with the new version of the PlayStation 5 console, which is also proven by his thermal camera footage. In his video, Evans further points out that overheating can have a negative effect not only on the performance of the device, but also on the overall life of this game console. One of the few advantages of this new product, Evans finally called a slightly quieter operation.
Social media battle with ivermectin

The demand for this drug has grown so much that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had to issue an official statement on why people should not use this drug as a cure or prevention against COVID-19.
