PlayStation is one of the biggest names in gaming, providing high-powered hardware and exclusive games to millions of dedicated gamers around the world. Its current flagship console, the PS5, has set records for the company, with 40 million PS5 consoles sold in less than three years. Although it was in short supply for the first two years of its release. The company sells two versions of the PlayStation 5: a standard PS5 version and a digital version without a disc drive. On the other hand, the PS4 has been selling at a similar pace on its way to taking over the previous generation of console once morest the Xbox One and Nintendo’s Wii U. The company has updated the PS4 several times following its launch in 2013, and even released a slightly more powerful PS4 Pro in 2016. It is still possible to buy new PlayStation 4 consoles, but they are becoming harder to find as more stores stock up on them. PS5 models. In the early years of the PS5’s release, many developers continued to bring new games to PS4 to reach the millions of players who had yet to upgrade their console, but with the company officially announcing the end of the PS5 console shortage, highly anticipated games like Final Fantasy XVI and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 coming exclusively to PS5, there’s now little reason to invest in a PS4, and more reasons than ever to upgrade. PS4 vs PS5: Price A standard PS5 costs $500 while a PS5 Digital Edition without a disc drive costs $400. Meanwhile, a new PS4 costs $300, and used or refurbished models sell for around $220, usually The new PS4 consoles you’ll find in stock now are the “slim” version of the console, which features a more compact design than the original. A more powerful version of the PS4 with 4K gaming support, called the PS4 Pro, costs $400 new, but it’s no longer readily available online or in stores, and you can find used PS4 Pro listings for around $200. PS4 vs PS5: Graphics and Performance The most obvious upgrade for the PlayStation 5 over its predecessor comes from significantly improved graphical performance, as the console is capable of playing games at 4K resolution, while supporting newer visual technologies such as ray tracing lighting, and the PS5 can also output video. At up to 120 frames per second, resulting in smoother animations and more responsive controls. But the standard PS4 is limited to 1080p output and 60fps at most; The updated, more expensive PS4 Pro can output some games at 4K resolution, but it lacks the hardware needed to run most 4K games beyond 30 frames per second or handle features like ray tracing. The PS5 also has additional features that help games feel more immersive than the PS4, and the console provides Tempest 3D audio when playing supported titles using headphones, creating a spatial surround sound effect. The PS5’s DualSense controller features more detailed rumble effects with haptic feedback for increased sensitivity, making actions like pulling the trigger, pressing the throttle, or readying your bow feel different when you pull the DualSense triggers. PS4 vs PS5: Storage While the difference between the visual quality of the PS5 and PS4 is striking, the PS5’s internal storage may be the most important difference between the two devices, as the PS5’s solid-state drive is incredibly fast. In fact, it’s fast enough to almost completely eliminate loading times in games like Marvel’s Spider-Man, which can take between 30 and 60 seconds to load new scenes on PS4. The PS5’s internal SSD starts at 825GB, while the new PS4 and PS4 Pro models feature much slower hard drives with 1TB of space. Older PS4s originally shipped with 500GB drives but these models have been discontinued; Used and refurbished models are still available for sale. There is a slight difference in the amount of storage space available on both devices, especially since PS5 games can take up more space than PS4 games, but the PS5’s increased speed is a huge benefit, and both devices also allow you to increase storage space by upgrading their internal drives or… Add external storage, but you can’t use an external drive to play PS5 titles, however, games made for PS4 can be saved to an external drive for use on PS4 or PS5. PS4 vs PS5: Gaming In the past, the introduction of a new console like the PS5 would signal the end of games developed for an older hardware like the PS4, but more than two years following the PS5’s release, there are only regarding a dozen games that can be played exclusively on the PS5. However, while many new game releases continue to appear on both systems, games look and perform better on PlayStation 5, PS5 versions of games like Horizon: Forbidden West and God of War Rag, and PS5 exclusives like Final Fantasy XVI, Returnal, and Ratchet & Clank benefit. : Rift apart, particularly from the PS5’s solid-state drive and graphical power, making it impossible to play on PS4, and more exclusives are on the way as well, including the highly anticipated launch of Marvel’s Spider Man 2 later this year. General. The PS5 is also backwards compatible with PS4 games, so players can bring their existing collection to PS5 without repurchasing games. The only exception is if you own PS4 games on physical discs and bought the PS5 Digital Edition without a disc drive; In this case, there’s no way to play your print on the new console, so a simple solution for people who own PS4 discs is to buy the slightly more expensive standard PS5 to retain access to their full library. PS4 vs PS5: Home Entertainment When it comes to streaming and media playback, the PS5 and PS4 offer similar features and identical media apps like Netflix, HBO Max, and Spotify. The biggest difference is that the PS5 is capable of 4K streaming, while the PS4 is limited to 1080p, unless you have a PS4 Pro, which also has 4K output. The standard PS5 also has a 4K Urtla HD Blu-ray drive, while PS4 models can only play regular Blu-ray discs at 1080p. And if you don’t have a 4K TV, it won’t end up affecting your experience, but it’s nice to have a higher resolution option. The PS5 also offers some notable improvements to the console’s user interface, allowing players to get in and out of games and apps faster, and track achievements from the console’s dashboard. Navigating to main menus like audio settings and social features is also easier.

“The finance law for the year 2023 provided for the mobilization of 2.8 billion dinars through the national bond issue. From September 5 to 12, the process of subscribing to the third tranche of the 2023 national bond begins, with a view to mobilizing an amount of 700 million dinars, subject to revaluation, i.e. the same amount as the first and second tranche. The subscription process for the first tranche made it possible to mobilize around 715 million dinars, while that of the second tranche managed to mobilize 800 million dinars per year. It is expected that the new subscription will result in a success in the same way as that of the first two tranches and should thus result in the mobilization of an amount of more than 700 million dinars. This is the third consecutive year during which Tunisia intends to open the subscription to the national bond loan, as part of the refinancing of the repayment of the debt, which indicates that this bond loan will be annual within the framework of the program of financing on the domestic market. It is very likely that the amounts will increase from year to year.

“Tunisia’s ability to cover imports at 115 days is a positive indicator. The main source of the increase in the value of net assets in hard currencies is loans and not exports, tourism, remittances from Tunisians abroad or foreign direct investments. The most dangerous scenario that Tunisia is currently facing is to continue borrowing without undertaking deep reforms that help overcome the serious financial crisis the country is going through. The capacity of net foreign currency assets to cover Tunisia’s imports exceeded, on September 5 and for the first time in several months, last year’s data to reach 117 days once morest 113 days.

[EN VIDÉO] With this wheel, a simple bicycle becomes electric In recent years, a new generation of bicycles has emerged. Electric, connected, intelligent,…
The Swedish start-up Vélosophy will launch this summer a new model made in particular from recycled aluminum coffee capsules, in partnership with Nespresso. This ethical bike, called RE:CYCLE, is in fact an evolved reissue of a first model released in 2019. Through this initiative, Velosophy wants to inspire other manufacturers to use all kinds of recycled materials in the design of their bicycles. For its part, Nespresso has been trying to improve its image in terms of recycling in recent years, sometimes by embarking on original projects like this one.
A bike equipped for drinking coffee
Note also the capsule-shaped bell and the presence of a cup holder, to enjoy your coffee (or any other drink). The frame of this bike is made from 95% recycled aluminum, including 20% from Nespresso capsules. This edition, called California Dream Blue, is available in standard and electric versions, priced at 1,595 and 2,795 euros respectively. The set has been on sale in a limited edition of 500 copies since July 2023. Pre-orders are already open.
Note that Vélosophy also promises to offer a bicycle to a schoolgirl in a developing country for each RE:CYCLE sold, in collaboration with the NGO World Bicycle Relief. The days of classic steel bikes are now long gone, at a time when alternative solutions are multiplying, whether models made of ash, bamboo or even 3D printed carbon fiber.

the essentials The flying insect has colonized Haute-Garonne. It transmits dengue fever and related diseases This little creature might become a major public health problem. The fight is organized between insecticide “bombardment” and genetic control.
This week, two new cases of arboviruses (dengue, chikungunya or zika) were detected in Haute-Garonne. This makes 29 since the start of the year, only “imported” from warm countries. These diseases most of the time lead to a serious flu but they can be lethal when they take a hemorrhagic form.
They are transmitted by the tiger mosquito aedes aegypti, a small flying creature barely a cm long, incapable of withstanding winters in our latitudes… The problem is that this dipteran insect has a local cousin, the tiger mosquito aedes albopictus , equally competent in carrying these viruses. Coming from Southeast Asia, it completely colonized the region. For health authorities, it is at the top of the list of pests to kill.
Salvation will undoubtedly come from the genetic arsenal
Jean-Sébastien Dehecq, sanitary engineer at the ARS, explains why: “The plan is known and will expand in the coming years. A person infected with aegypti returns from a trip abroad. She gets bitten by our local tiger mosquito. This can then contaminate other people and form local epidemic outbreaks. If from February, with global warming, it starts to reach 20 degrees, we will already have mosquitoes in action, this will increase the probability of having indigenous cases. »
This year, there have not yet been any proven cases of “local” contamination. On the other hand, for the first time, in 2022, the ARS recorded contaminations due to aedes albopictus. “In all, there were six. In reality, they are two family units. One living in La Salvetat-Saint-Gilles, the other in Toulouse, undoubtedly bitten by the same mosquito,” indicates Jean-Sébastien Dehecq.
“It is harmful for ten days until its death”
With each confirmed case of arbovirus, there is a real race once morest time for the ARS engineer and his teams.
“You have to act very quickly during the incubation time. The contaminated local mosquito will take a short week before becoming contaminating. It is harmful for ten days until death. By conducting a survey of infected individuals, we identify the sites to be treated in order to minimize the spread of the disease. Since the start of the year, around sixty places have been treated, ranging from a garden to a supermarket entrance,” he explains.
It remains an emergency treatment. In the future, to avoid epidemics like in the Overseas Territories, it will be necessary to spray Deltamethrin (see interview) on the identified outbreaks. Since there is no single predator of the tiger mosquito, the solution will be genetic. “In Montpellier, we are working on the production of sterile male mosquitoes. When they release them, they fly with the wild females, the only ones who sting. This will result in empty eggs. Gradually, the population of tiger mosquitoes should fall,” predicts Jean-Sébastien Dehecq.
