There are no comments yet PlayStation Network users are reporting accounts being blocked without warning or explanation from Sony. According to Rozetked, dozens of complaints appeared on X, Reddit and the ResetEra forum. User accounts are blocked without explanation, and they do not receive notification of this by email. [caption id="attachment_85676" align="aligncenter" width="780"] PlayStation[/caption] PlayStation users report permanent bans without explanation from Sony Reports come from the US, Europe and Australia. It is not yet clear on what principle the blocking occurs. Users confirm that they cannot appeal the blocking or withdraw money from the wallet. The support service works intermittently due to the large influx of users. One of them received the following response: “This account has been permanently suspended from PlayStation Network due to violations of the PlayStation Network Terms of Service and User Agreement.” Sony has not yet commented on the situation.

It occupies four expansion slots Another video card with a Noctua cooler has appeared on the market. And she's incredibly fat again. [caption id="attachment_85159" align="aligncenter" width="780"] GeForce RTX 4070 Ti[/caption] Sycom introduced the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Silent Master, which received Noctua fans. As you can see in the photo, without fans this is a two-slot adapter, but with them it already takes up four slots. Actually, there are simply no high-performance models with Noctua fans (at least for three expansion slots), although the same Sycom previously released a two-slot RTX 4060 Ti . GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Silent Master presented with Noctua fans Like the lower-end cards, the new product uses Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM fans and a special frame for mounting them, developed by Nagao. As the name implies, the new product should stand out primarily for its quiet operation. Compared to the MSI model, according to Sycom's own measurements, the noise level is much lower: 43.6 versus 55.1 dB. Temperatures are also lower, but not as significantly: 74.5 versus 79.3 degrees.

The price is already known The first Linux gaming laptop has been unveiled, the Sirius 16 Gen 1 from Tuxedo Computers.

Is it not clear what kind of chip it is based on? The Sony PlayStation Portal portable game console went on sale, and the first video with the disassembly of this device immediately appeared on the Internet.  [caption id="attachment_83057" align="aligncenter" width="780"] PlayStation Portal[/caption] It turned out that disassembling Portal, despite its technical simplicity, is not so easy, and maintainability, apparently, is not very good.  PlayStation Portal doesn't hide anything unusual inside https://youtu.be/AL5c4qo8utA The battery capacity is 16.9 Wh. There is no active cooling system, but this is because it is based on a rather low-performance chip. More precisely, its low performance can be judged precisely by the absence of any active CO, since the SG4150P number does not allow us to find any clear details about its configuration. Considering that the console does not process data itself, but only displays games launched remotely, performance is not required here.  Let us remind you that Portal may become a more interesting product in the future, since Sony does not exclude the possibility of adding support for the cloud gaming service PS Now , and then a PS5 will not be required to run Portal.

The announcement will take place on November 23. Following the advertising images, real photos of the flagship smartphone Red Magic 9 Pro appeared online. The device will receive an under-screen front camera, as well as a flat rear panel on which the main camera modules are located flush.

This is the first flagship based on Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with such a screen and a flat camera with a resolution of 50 megapixels.

You need a PS5 for it to work. Today, various publications have published their reviews of the portable game console, if you can call it that, the Sony PlayStation Portal. We've collected a variety of opinions and feedback from various reviews to understand what Sony has done and who needs it. [caption id="attachment_81838" align="aligncenter" width="780"] PlayStation[/caption] The Verge says the device makes a confusing first impression. Due to the very nature of Portal and its limitations, the device is, according to journalists, primarily intended for PlayStation fans who want a simple and specialized tool for streaming games in their home. The VGC authors also say that the new product will appeal to a rather narrow circle of gamers. Not only do you have to be a PlayStation fan, you also have to have scenarios where Portal makes sense at all. For example, when there is only one TV in the house and you have to share it with relatives. Or when someone wants to sit on the toilet or lie in the bathroom, but continue to play. Or play while lying on the bed, when the bed is not in the same room as the TV. In addition, this is a good gift option for a gamer who has a PlayStation 5. A strange device for PlayStation fans, but with a number of strengths. If we talk about the advantages, there are many of them. First, surprisingly, is autonomy. After the announcement, it was expected that Portal would not please with this indicator, but it turned out that the device works for 6–10 hours, which is very good. Secondly, journalists say that the device is very comfortable to hold. In addition, the main DualSense technologies are supported here, that is, adaptive triggers and a proprietary haptic feedback system. The screen as a whole is also praised, however, in bright sunlight, if you use the console outdoors, the display brightness will no longer be enough. Connection stability, which is critical for Portal, is also fine. In most cases, journalists did not experience any problems with the quality of data transmission, even when connected via 5G. As for the shortcomings, the main one, of course, concerns the capabilities of the device. If PlayStation Portal could at least launch games from the PS Now cloud service, this would significantly expand its capabilities and attract more gamers. In addition, the console does not support Bluetooth connectivity, which means you can connect either wired headphones or expensive branded Sony headphones. Some people call the price of $200 optimal, while others consider it too high, given the extremely limited use cases.

Open sales will start on November 15, 2023 The first unboxing video of the PlayStation Portal game console has appeared online, showing the size of Sony's new portable device and comparing it with Valve's Steam Deck. There is still about a week left before open sales begin, but the Spanish YouTube channel Hobby Consolas has already published an unboxing video of the device. [caption id="attachment_80905" align="aligncenter" width="728"] Sony PlayStation Portal's[/caption] Due to the embargo from Sony, the device is not turned on and is not demonstrated by the author of the video in operation, but the design can be seen in all details. When comparing the PlayStation Portal and the Steam Deck, we see roughly the same size, despite the fact that the PlayStation Portal comes with an 8-inch display while the Steam Deck offers a 7-inch screen. In addition, Sony's portable console is somewhat lighter than Valve's device. Sony PlayStation Portal's first unboxing reveals actual size, comparison to Steam Deck and more https://youtu.be/V9vmFhWQGGM Let us remind you that the console is equipped with an 8-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1080p and a frame rate of 60 Hz. PlayStation Portal is focused on streaming PlayStation Remote Play games by remotely connecting to the PlayStation 5 over a local network via Wi-Fi. PlayStation Portal allows you to play games installed on the PS5 console, including using the Dualsense controller. There is a 3.5 mm audio jack for headphones. PlayStation Portal also includes the core features of the DualSense controller, including haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. The company is accepting pre-orders for the new product in some regions from September 2023 at a price of $200.
