It should not be that the battery of a mobile phone will explode. For a game console, if the USB port that is necessary for connecting accessories will be overheated or even melted, that is also very inappropriate! Recently, the media revealed that in the fierce competition to host the world’s largest fighting game competition EVO 2023 in Los Angeles, the possible design flaws of Sony’s PlayStation 5 console for such events were accidentally highlighted. There are even players who ignore the fact that the main funder behind the event is Sony, and directly say “we need to switch to PC or Xbox”. Continue reading PlayStation 5’s USB port has overheated and melted, and the official has not yet provided the text of the report. The USB port of PlayStation 5 has an overheating and melting problem. The official has not yet provided an explanation. Since it is a large-scale event, e-sports competitions will need to go through preliminaries once more and once more in order to send the strongest of the best in the fighting event to the big stage of the finals. . And because it needs to be used in consecutive competitions, this kind of occasion that is biased towards stress testing can make people feel that the game console and even accessories can stand the test – this is also the value that the brand will be willing to co-brand with e-sports players and events where. However, at the EVO 2023, the world’s largest fighting game competition held recently, some players revealed that due to the suspected design defects of the PlayStation 5 host materials, it caused a bit of a hindrance to the players in this kind of event. Foreign media found that during the Evo 2023 competition, many players complained on social media. They encountered the joystick accessories used in the competition because they were plugged into the USB port behind the PS5, causing the accessory connectors to melt, get stuck, or even damaged and unusable. This is my melted controller. It just took one set. pic.twitter.com/EiG6OsdjeG — Eduardo Cuervo (eacuervo @ threads) (@cloudraven) August 6, 2023 The EVO event verified that PS5 is not the correct answer (for e-sports competitions), mentioning that the USB melting problem seen so far is not an isolated case. They even did not directly express to the organizers that they should switch to PC or Xbox consoles for events. At present, many analyzes point to that due to the relatively higher demand for external joysticks in the game, the USB port at the rear of the PS5 will need to be frequently used. However, the ports on the rear of the PlayStation 5 are next to the cooling vents. In addition, the game requires a long time to boot and frequent plugging and unplugging, which are the main factors that cause this problem to be highlighted. In this series of complaints from players, some people “just” encountered problems with the adapter being melted by high temperature, and the PS5 USB parts were pulled out together due to plugging and unplugging. However, some people were even more unlucky. They didn’t realize that their joystick was directly disconnected due to the suspected stuck cable, and it was not until the next game that they found out that it was unusable (this is really miserable…). Although for ordinary users, the long-term and high-intensity use environment of e-sports should be more difficult to occur in the home environment (should… In fact, some TV cabinets should have a quite harsh environment?). Some people also analyzed that the reason for this situation is that if it is not that the connection port on the back of PS5 is not recommended to be used with such accessories, or Sony underestimated the heat generated by the host. In addition, some media analyzed that this may also highlight the poor support of Sony game consoles for third-party game accessories, which may cause more problems due to the need to crack and so on. Regardless of how embarrassing it is to turn over in this event that might have proved its durability. Before Sony publicly stated whether there were design flaws in the PS5. Foreign media also put forward several suggestions to avoid such problems, including using the front USB-A and USB-C as much as possible, and if you have to use the rear connection port, it is recommended to ensure that the host computer has been completely cooled before use (this is really not Does it stink?). In addition, avoid using unofficially authorized accessories or adapters – this should be to avoid subsequent warranty claims when the USB is damaged? ▲Image source: プレイステーション官方 (Twitter/ @PlayStation_jp) In short, at least I hope that Sony can make improvements on the PS5 Pro and PS5 Slim that may be launched next (huh).

Gold prices fell as the dollar regained some stability, amid investors’ anticipation of US inflation data scheduled for release this week to get a clearer picture of the prospects for raising interest rates.
Gold fell in spot trading 0.2 percent to 1933.24 dollars, and US gold futures fell 0.1 percent to 1967.90 dollars.
The dollar rose once morest other major currencies, making the precious metal more expensive for buyers holding other currencies.
And in the event that a larger-than-expected rise in consumer prices is announced in the data scheduled for release Thursday, this might increase the possibility of raising interest rates once more when Federal Reserve officials meet in September.
Raising interest rates would increase bond yields, which would increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion.
Silver settled in spot trading at $23.15, and platinum fell 0.4 percent to $916.47. Palladium also fell 0.2 percent to $1,237.38.

Two Russian missiles crashed Monday night in the central area of Pokrovsk in the eastern Donetsk region, which is partly occupied by Russia, according to local authorities.
The missiles, which struck 40 minutes apart, damaged nine- and five-story buildings, houses, a hotel, restaurants, shops and administrative buildings, Donetsk Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Moscow of trying to reduce eastern Ukraine to “broken and charred stones.”

Volunteer Projects and Cultural Immersion Opportunities in Belgium: Explore 13 Unique Projects and Make a Difference
2023-08-08 07:29:23
Today, some projects take volunteers to developing countries, but Belgium also welcomes participants. “We have more or less 13 projects this year and each project welcomes between 5 and 10 people. Every year, we welcome 100 to 150 volunteers in Belgium, most of whom come from Europe but also from Vietnam or Mexico. They are housed by the associations. Often it is rather simple conditions because they are welcomed in schools or farms.” It is also possible to be Belgian and stay in the country, through the coordination of local projects.
Two of these projects have just started in the province of Liège. Near Huy, in a center for disabled people where a small group of volunteers carry out animation projects, activities with people who live in the centers and in Liège for a project entitled “La Cité s’invente”. Other projects deal with improving the outdoor spaces of a school. “We try to have partnerships with associations that offer cultural projects, social projects, environmental projects. That way, there are a variety of contexts for volunteers to immerse themselves in, says Sabina Jaworek.
The first idea, on the other hand, is the encounter. The people who will participate in these projects will work with the association. It’s very useful. But the idea is also to take the time to meet, to spend time together, to discuss and learn things also on the places that welcome them.“
