Can the red ring of death be fixed?

You can still easily repair it. As most of you know, the RRoD is a sign displayed by the 360's "Ring of Light" when there is a general hardware failure. While this can be caused by any part (or lack thereof) of the 360, the general cause is most often excessive heat, which stresses the solder joints on the CPU and GPU.

So far, we've prepped the heatsinks and the motherboard case for these 5MM screws. Now we get to make sumthin' of it! With the case sitting flat, fan hole in the back on the right, take note of where you need to stick these screws. The 4 holes on the left X are for your GPU, the 4 holes to the right will be for the CPU screws. Now put the 5x15MM screws in the GPU screwholes, screwheads on the outside, so that they come into the case. Put tape over the heads to keep them from falling back out, as shown in the second photo. Now put the 5x20MM screws into the CPU screwholes and tape them just like the GPU screws. This tape is very important so don't take it off until I say so! Ha ha. Lay the case flat again and all the screws should be poking up at you, as they are in the main photo. Place 3 or 4 5MM washers on each of them, the idea being to get them level with the motherboard standoffs. Use a straightedge to check. If they come up too short or too high the motherboard will get warped and you won't be fixing anything.

Now the fun begins. You gotta get the motherboard back in the case with the goal of getting the screws into those orange holes that the X-Clamp posts went through. All while you try to keep those washers on the screws! If they fall off at any point, you'll have to take the motherboard out, put them back on the screw(s), and repeat. So try not to do it, eh?

Tilt the case onto its right side (where the hard drive connector would be) so that you can reach the screws underneath. Angle the back of the motherboard into the case and push it all the way to the rear of the case. Lower the board until it gets held up by the rear CPU screws you installed (they should be the CPU screws if the screws were taller than the GPU screws). Now, untape one of those rear CPU screws and point it into its hole. Give it a few twists to hold it in place and thread the other one in. Now, while carefully holding the motherboard and those untaped screws, lower the motherboard until more screws hold you up and get them into their holes. Don't let those washers fall out! When it's all said and done you'll have screws poking through those holes. Tape the heads back to the case so they don't fall out. Now press on the motherboard around the screws. It should be solid at each screw. If not you'll need to get back to those washers and pop another one on. But if it's all nice and immobile throw two washers onto each GPU screw, one onto each CPU screw, and head to the next step!

Is Sony still making PS4?

I also spent the first six years after leaving university as a professional game designer working with Disney, Games Workshop, 20th Century Fox, and Vivendi. Sony has informed its manufacturing partners that production of the PS4 console will continue throughout 2022.

pcmag.com - Sony Decides to Continue Making PS4 Consoles - PCMag

Sony has informed its manufacturing partners that production of the PS4 console will continue throughout 2022. As Bloomberg reports(Opens in a new window), Sony never officially stated when PS4 production would end, but "people familiar with the matter" said the end of 2021 was Sony's previous cutoff date. However, the pandemic coupled with huge demand for the PS5 has seemingly changed Sony's mind. During 2022, one million new PS4 consoles will be produced, but that figure could change depending on demand. Remember, Sony's robots can assemble a PS4 every 30 seconds, so reacting to increased demand won't be a problem. You'd think Sony would want to move as much of its production capabilities over to the PS5, but instead the company sees PS4 production as helping to offset pressure in the marketplace. After all, the PS4 offers a huge range of games to play and the console costs significantly less than the PS5. Stock of new PS4 consoles all but disappeared in the run up to the holidays, pushing prices of both new and used units higher. As to which PS4 is being produced, Sony stopped producing the PS4 Pro completely and all but one model of the PS4 in January last year in its home territory. Therefore, the Jet Black PlayStation 4 Slim is the console we'll see re-appearing at retailers around the world for the rest of the year.
