Microsoft’s next-gen console, the Xbox series X, has arrived. With it comes a whole bunch of Internet con artists trying to meme people into believing the new console is plagued by terrible issues.

People are piping vape smoke into their new $ 500 consoles to give off the appearance of a fire to troll fans on social media. The posts would have you believe the blazing graphics of the series X are so demanding they can cause an Xbox to catch fire. The reality is much simpler than Xbox consoles spontaneously bursting into flame.

The video of the Xbox series X console shows smoke coming from it and. It’s just vapor smoke. The video was posted on YouTube.

It probably is n’t a great idea to intentionally fill your brand-new console with water vapor. It’s possible to intentionally filled the brand-new console in water vapor.

The meme has gone far enough that Microsoft itself has dignified it with a response to the meme. Microsoft has responded to a response:::’we’ve got to dignified the meme.’.

We ca n’t believe we have to say this. But please do not blow vape smoke into your Xbox series X.

Microsoft did have to deal with the’red ring of death’ issue back in the Xbox 360 days over a decade and a half ago. The idea of gadgets catching fire is n’t completely unheard of.

‘it’s a single single single… It’s not known.. He’s now…’it is a.. I’..’. It.. spines.

The fan on the Xbox series X is so powerful that the winds it produce can suspend a Ping-Pong ball in midair over the console. Another viral post has been going around claiming the fan can be very powerful.

In a middle school science class, a hair dryer is used to levitate a Ping-Pong ball. There’s some physics – including Bernoulli’s principle – which describes the relationship between speed and pressure of a fluid flow.

The Xbox series X’s fan – though it may be – actually puts out the kind of airspeed needed to suspend the ball.

It’s always good to take reports of problems with a healthy grain of salt. There appear to be some isolated incidents of disc drive issues.
