Welcome to the Tech Meme Right Home for Wednesday, August 23,

I'm Brian McCullough today.

Sony announces the PlayStation Portal handheld device.

IBM announces an AI model to translate code from one type of code to another.

Open AI lets anyone fine tune is LinkedIn, the big winner, and social media right now.

And what happens when your 3D printer comes alive

like a zombie in the middle of the night?

Here's what you miss today in the world of tech.

Sony this morning unveiled the expected PlayStation portal, an 8 inch handheld

console that will stream PS5 games over Wi-Fi in 1080P at 60 frames per second, available later this year for 200 bucks, quoting

the verge.

The PlayStation portal features prominent controllers on each side that look very much like

Sony's PS5 dual sense controllers. They support adaptive

triggers and haptic feedback so PS5 games will feel similar to using a

dedicated dual sense controller. The PlayStation portal will also

be capable of playing media as the home screen has a dedicated section for it

as it's mirroring your PS 5. You won't be able to run anything locally though so if you don't have

Wi-Fi then you're out of luck. Strangely the $199.99 handheld won't work with

Sony's upcoming cloud streaming for PS5 games.

Games that must be streamed on PS5 using a PS Plus premium membership are not compatible, says

Sony. So the PlayStation portal is really a way to stream PS5 games you already have installed on your own PS5 onto a handheld for remote play.

You'll need an internet connection capable of at least 5 MBPS, and Sony is recommending 15 MBPS for the best experience.
