https://www.engadget.com/ps5-usb-ports-reportedly-melted-at-evo-2023-esports-tournament-175954481.html

Several participants at EVO complained over the weekend about how the tournament's PS5s got so hot that when they removed their controllers/fight sticks, melted pieces of the PS5s port glued themselves to the controller's plug.

The PS5 has a history of bizarre problems that other consoles don't seem to suffer from, including randomly deleting user save data, randomly uninstalling games, corrupting its own harddrive when entering rest mode, and overheating during cutscenes and shutting down. Now we add "melting usb ports" to the list.

Here are some sources for the various other problems I listed:

Reposting this topic because the last one got moderated because I dared to give my opinion on the PS5 and I really don't give a shit if I get suspended/banned.
