PlayStation 5 Digital Edition Probably Has Fewer Stocks Than PlayStation 5 Standard Edition

Sony has started taking preorders for its upcoming gaming console PlayStation 5. However, Sony and its new gaming console, PlayStation 5, are once again in news headlines thanks to the quick selling of the Digital Edition of PS5 due to its massive demand in the market.

According to a report on the Eurogamer website, there is a great demand for the Digital Edition of PlayStation 5 in comparison to the Standard Edition of PlayStation 5. But despite this much demand for the Digital Edition of PS5, most big retailers don’t have enough stock of PlayStation 5 Digital Edition to meet this demand thanks to its limited production by Sony in comparison to PlayStation 5 Standard Edition.

One big retailer in the UK market said that they have a very limited stock of PlayStation 5 Digital Edition in comparison to the PlayStation 5 Standard Edition. According to them, their current stock allocation is around 75 % PS5 Standard Edition against 25% PS5 Digital Edition.

According to the results of a poll which was conducted by Ars Technica for GameStop Stores (in the US market), almost nine GameStop Stores in the US market had a stock allocation around 13% or 33% PS5 Digital Edition versus 87% or 67% PS5 Standard Edition.

Sony has never been in this kind of situation where it has to warn its customers that they might find it a little difficult to get their gaming console. But that’s history now.

Jim Ryan (President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment) has refused to give his comments on this situation and the availability of PS5 Digital Edition in the market. However, he has said that the company is planning to produce the necessary number of units to meet the current demand for PlayStation5 Digital Edition. But he can’t give specific information on numbers or availability ratio right now.

The new PlayStation 5 Standard Edition costs $4999, whereas the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition comes with a price tag of $399. Yes, it does not have a disc drive in it, but it is as good as and as powerful as the PlayStation 5 Standard Edition.

Our View

Sony PS5 is a great gaming console that has lots of great features in it, and there is an enormous demand for PlayStation 5 Digital Edition in the market.  Despite this, most retailers don’t have sufficient stock to meet this demand. But Sony is trying its best to meet this demand and is planning to produce the necessary number of units to meet this huge demand for PS5 Digital Edition.

However, if you can’t wait to get your hands on PlayStation 5, then you can buy PS5 Standard Edition at $499. But if you only want to purchase PS5 Digital Edition, then you will have to wait for some more time until the demand and supply of PS5 Digital Edition are stabilized.

Do you feel the PlayStation 5 Standard Edition is better than PlayStation 5 Digital Edition? If yes, then do share your thoughts or views with us in the comment section.

SkullCandy Sesh Evo Review

SkullCandy Sesh Evo is a convenient and stylish earbud for people looking for the right combination of price and features. The Sesh Evo comes in four colors, so if you are bored with standard white and black options, then you can check out its variety of colors. The earbud comes with an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance. This can be an excellent characteristic for people who are involved in heavy exercises.

The earbuds and the charging case is covered with a satin-like plastic which you usually find in Apple earbuds. When it comes to protection, Sesh Evo gives better protection which you typically get in Apple and Samsung earbuds.

Earbuds come in an asymmetrical oval shape with its logo on the outer surface that you can press to trigger the physical button control. A red LED light will glow whenever you charge your earbuds which will enable you to know whether you have placed the earbuds in place. On the back of its charging case, you get a USB-C charging port. On the front, you get a small button which informs you how much battery is left. Overall, the design is very functional and practical.

The earbuds fit smoothly and conveniently inside your ears even after hours of wearing. However, a certain amount of twisting is required to make it fit perfectly. The button demands a fair amount of pressure which is not ideal. The button mechanism gives you full control on Volume up/down, play/pause, call answer/end, and more.

With three taps on the outer panel, you can access the voice assistant, and with four taps, you can access the EQ modes: Movie, Music, and Podcast. Its Podcast mode focuses more on the human voice range, and its movie mode accentuates the frequency range like a soundbar. In music mode, you get a little less sculpted sound than the other two modes.

Battery life is not very impressive as per today’s standards. Fully charged earbuds give you a playtime of five hours only; however, you get a quick recharge feature in which you get two hours of playtime with ten minutes of charging. In terms of battery, SkullCandy Sesh Evo performs average.

At this price range, you get fantastic sound quality and performance. However, you need to adjust them a little to experience the full bass of the audio. The earbuds come with a Tile-based object tracking which helps you in easy tracking of earbuds in case you lost them. The Tile function works perfectly, all you need to do is just register yourself on the Sesh Evo app and access the “Find” button to trigger a high-pitched whistle which keeps on growing louder till you don’t find it. One of the fantastic features is that you can activate the sound even when they are off, inside their charging case or lying outside on their own.

When it comes to calling quality, it gives you an acceptable performance at this price range. You can make or take calls via these earbuds, but you have to speak louder and clearer to make sure the other person on the call can hear you. You can easily take indoor calls without any issue, however outdoor calls with heavy traffic can drown you out.

Should you buy SkullCandy Sesh Evo?

The major noteworthy features of Sesh Evo are its Tile tracking, multiple colors, and decent price. However, when it comes to battery life and call quality, the SkullCandy Sesh Evo is not up to the mark. So, if you are looking to buy wireless earbuds in the budget, then SkullCandy Sesh Evo is a perfect choice.

Microsoft Announces Premonition, an Ambitious Project That Can Change the World

Microsoft has always been working towards the safety and security of its users and now they seem to be taking it one step further. At its latest Ignite conference, Microsoft announced a robotics and sensor platform, Premonition, which will be monitoring disease carriers like mosquitos and flies. It will also be sampling these disease carriers and the samples will be analyzed by a cloud-based software stack that will soon be available for a private preview.

Microsoft stated that they want to create a system that is similar to a weather monitoring system but it will work to stop the disease outbreak. The company has been working on this project since 2015. This is a quite ambitious project and Microsoft has partnered with the Convergence Accelerator Program of National Science Foundation, Johns Hopkins University, Vanderbilt University, the University of Pittsburgh, and the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation to test the tools which it is developing under this project after a lot of research. The company is also working with the pharmaceutical company Bayer, to have a deeper understanding of vector-borne diseases and other related things.

The company is currently focusing on the diseases transmitted by mosquitoes and in its Redmond campus, they have set up a “Premonition Proving Ground” to allow the researchers to test their robots, to train them, and to analyze the samples they collect. This is an Arthropod Containment Level 2 facility where they can raise and analyze mosquitoes but the company wants this system to be capable of monitoring the entire biome. Till now, the company has said to have scanned more than 80 trillion base-pairs of genomic material for biological threats.

According to Ethan Jackson, the senior director of Premonition, the 2014 Ebola outbreak led the company to realize the role of AI and cloud computing in monitoring the biome in new ways. The company has already developed a small fleet of smart robotic traps that was capable of identifying and capturing mosquitoes in 2016, the time when Zika emerged. It was a smart and powerful system that could identify up to 10,000 mosquitos in a single night. This system was used in Texas for the first time and since then Microsoft has made a lot of progress towards their purpose.

Douglas E. Norris, an entomologist and Johns Hopkins University professor of molecular microbiology and immunology, is also a part of this project and according to him, this system is going to be very useful as it will allow us to monitor the growth of mosquitoes and based on the data that will be able to spray and hit the harmful mosquitoes early before they can cause a pandemic.

Premonition is a very ambitious project of Microsoft and its success can help humankind to fight against various deadly diseases. This system relies on Microsoft Azure cloud and also tells a lot about the capabilities of AI systems of Microsoft.

Money Heist: Will Alicia Join The Robbers In Season 5?

Money Heist is one of the most outstanding Spanish thrillers shows on Netflix. And the series aired its fourth season this year and ended with a cliffhanger. The maximum plot of the show is based on the fate of Professor.

Money Heist aka La casa de Papel (The House of Paper) is a Spanish crime drama TV show directed by Alex Pina. The series involved two long prepared heists, one is the Royal Mint of Spain, and another is the Bank of Spain. Filmmakers initially planned to create a short series of 15 episodes that aired on Spanish network Antena 3 on 2 May 2017. Later in the same year, the rights were bought by Netflix, and the series was cut into 22 shorter episodes and featured on the platform on 20 December 2017. The shooting of the show started in Madrid, Spain; and some parts of the show were filmed in Panama, Italy, and Thailand. The plot of the show has been told from the perspective of the character Tokyo played by actress Ursula Corbero. Along with Ursula, other characters like the protagonist Professor played by Alvaro Morte, Raquel Murillo played by Itziar Ituno, Nairobi played by Alba Flores, Denver by Jaime Lorente, Berlin by Pedro Alonso, Miguel Herran played the character of Rio, Monica Gazatambide by Esther Acebo and many more.

In season 4 that was featured on streaming platforms in the initial months of 2020 ended with Inspector Alicia Sierra finding out the location of The Professor. And cut to the scene where she pointed out the gun on Professor that left the audience in suspense whether she will expose Professor or Alica will also join the group or will she shoot the Professor.

The series of Money Heist conceived by the director Jesus Colmenar and screenwriter Alex Pina when they collaborated during some project in 2008, and after finishing their work on series of the Spanish prison drama Vis a vis (Locked Up), they left the studio of Globomedia to set up their own production company and named the company Vancouver Media in 2016. Pina and Colmenar considered their first series would be either a heist story or comedy. Pina planned that it would be a limited episodic show. The shooting of the series began in January 2017, and the narrative split into two parts for financial consideration. To decide the first five lines of the pilot the writer spent a month because they were not able to confirm whom to make the narrator, the Professor, or Moscow, then they choose the character of Tokyo as an unreliable narrator and provide people with a more fluid storyline.

Recently, there is news that the team will release season 5 that is Money Heist Season 5 soon. And fans are speculating whether Alicia will join the gang in the fifth season. And there are some theories regarding the plot: some might think that Alicia might shoot Professor or take him to the police or she might even join the heist group to take revenge from the police department.

There are possibilities that Alicia may join the robbers just as Inspector Lisbon did during the first heist. Because joining the gang will make her financially stable, and she could provide a good life to her baby. The above reasons increase the possibility that Alicia will not think much before changing her side from the department to the Professor’s gang. According to the sources, the production of the show is facing many delays due to the pandemic. Monet Heist Season 5 was planned to release in January 2021, though due to the production delays it postponed to April 2021. Fans can expect their favorite characters to appear in season 5 including Alvaro Morte, Ursula Corbero, Itziar Ituno, Pedro Alonso, Alba Flores, Jaime Lorente, Esther Acebo, Enrique Arce, and many more.

The casting of the first season started in 2016, and the team took a few months to cast all the actors. The casting directors Yolanda Serrano and Eva Leira were looking for empathetic robbers with believable family and love connections. The Professor was designed as a charismatic and shy villain who convinced the robber to join and follow him.

Money Heist is well received by Spanish Media; it promises audiences a well-dosed touch of humour and adrenaline and a lot of tension. On Rotten Tomatoes the show received an approval rating of 100% based on 12 reviews with an average rating of 7/10. Fans are very excited for the upcoming season, and speculating how the plot would turn out. The above is all about the next season of Money Heist Season 5; I hope you liked the article.

Microsoft Surface Hub 2S 85-Inch Review

Microsoft had this aim to redefine the offices, the physical workspaces in which businesses run. And it took the first step and came out with the Surface Hub 2S. The company recently unveiled its huge 85-inch Surface Hub 2S, aimed at large enterprise businesses. This came three years after the launch of the first-generation Microsoft Surface Hub, a massive business-focused collaboration device that is somewhere in between a smart TV and a giant tablet. Microsoft formally unleashed its first major upgrade, the Surface Hub 2S 85-inch, which has begun pre-sales and will be available in January. The massive 85-inch model is available for $2199.

The huge screen is mounted to an exceptional rolling stand built by a steel case. A section in the center of the stand contains a custom battery from APC and a power cord. You can unplug the cord to easily wheel around the Hub 2S out of the conference room to any desk in the office. All of this makes it easier to collaborate with the Hub.

Microsoft’s second-generation model comes with the same built-in apps and software as in first-generation, including Windows 10, Office 365, Microsoft Teams, and the Microsoft Whiteboard app. The major upgrades in the Surface Hub 2S are in its hardware and specifications. According to Microsoft, the 50-inch model is 40 percent lighter at 61.6 pounds, making it easier to move around. It has also got a 4K display plus, multi-touch display, and 50 percent faster graphic performance with an eighth-generation Intel i5 processor.

It also has a 4K built-in wide-angle camera clipped to the top of the unit that is specifically designed for large boardroom meetings. This camera could be detached and moved to any side of the screen and also flips back out of the way to ensure it doesn’t break when you wheel the Surface Hub through the door frame.

The Surface Hub 2 Pens are substantially larger than standard Pro Pens, as they have been designed for whiteboards. Also, you must note that the Surface Hub 2S is not a personal computer, so you will have to sign in and out each time you use the device. The device itself does not keep any of your files, as it wipes everything clean after each use. So, you need to be accessing your files via OneDrive or USB. In the times of coronavirus pandemic, where the work landscape is changing with more people working from home, a tool like Surface Hub 2S can be a boon. Is buying a Surface Hub 2S 85-inch worth it? Absolutely. It adds a large amount of value to your business in the form of customer experience, collaboration, flexibility, and time-saving.
