It affects both the PS4 and Pro equally.

I had the issue with my launch edition PS4 and have also seen it in my PS4 Pro. The same as others I lit happens early on in gaming and the. Going back to the PS4 menu and back to the game fixes it and then it's not seen again. I believe this is an HDMI issue/bug.

A CC will reduce performance and economy. No way anyone is going to let that happen in America. There will just be another lawsuit against VW. Surely it's just easier to have the cheat software on all the time and top up adblue free of charge to customers.

At the moment the cars are topped up at the garage during servicing as it uses so little in the normal road mode.

Panasonic 2012 P50VT50

I have a 2012 Pansonic P50VT50, the Youtube App was recently updated so it doesn't affect all older TVs providing the manufacturer still supports them. I've been quite surprised at how long Panasonic supported the TV with firmware and software upgrades. There are regular updates to the Smart TV apps available, even now. Just the other day there were 5 new apps added and then two more a week later.

Mobiles really do fry your brains: JAMA

Mobiles don't cause cancer.

These studies are pretty much worthless in terms of whether mobile phone use causes cancer. It is already known that although mobile usage has shot up over the years, cases of cancer have not increased at anywhere near the same level. If mobile use were causing cancer then those figures would correlate together.
