PS4 Gentoo Kernel Sources 5.3.7 with Baikal Chip Patches via Iguy0
Following the PlayStation 4 Linux Scripts, previous PS4 Gentoo Linux Dev Updates and PS4 Linux Loader Baikal Chip Support today developer @iguy0 let us know he migrated Valeery's Baikal Chip kernel patches to the new Gentoo 5.3.7 kernel by PS4Gentoo! 
Download: ps4-kernel.zip (10.4 MB - Compiled) / PS4Linux-Kernel-master.zip / GIT / bzImage (7.15 MB)
And from the README.md: PS4 Linux
PS4-sources 5.3.7 + Baikal patches (should work for most PS4 versions)
In short this is the combination of https://github.com/ps4gentoo/ps4-linux and https://github.com/Ps3itaTeam/ps4-linux/tree/ps4-4.14.93-baikal.
It works phenomenally well on my PS4. I use PSXITA v2 with this kernel. Unfortunately I haven't tested on other versions since I only own a 2115b, but as far as i could tell from the patches it should work on ALL* versions now.
You are more than welcome to confirm this by creating an issue with the model and behavior.
Enjoy!

MultipleUserPS4RemotePlay App for Switching PS4 Remote Play Accounts
Fernthedev recently shared a MultipleUserPS4RemotePlay Windows application with source code currently in development on Github written in C# that allows for switching PlayStation 4 Remote Play accounts between multiple users. 
Download: PS4RemotePlayMultipleUser.exe (56 MB) / GIT
This is reminiscent of popular cloning apps such as Multi for those playing Android Games and switching between multiple user alt / farm accounts.
Previously we've seen several open source PS4 Remote Play clients in development alongside PS4REN (Guide), some PS4 Remote Play Protocol Reversing, the Chiaki Free and Open Source PS4 Remote Play Client, a free trial of REPL4Y for Android alongside a PSPlay Alpha testing version available through last November.

PlayStation 5 Release Window Details and More by Sony CEO Jim Ryan
Since sharing the scoop on their next-gen transition, Sony Interactive Entertainment President and CEO Jim Ryan elaborated a bit further on the PS5 Logo familiarity and thoughts on a release window based on that of the PlayStation 4 during a recent interview with Business Insider Japan. 
While Sony already confirmed a tentative PlayStation 5 Holiday 2020 window with no PS5 MSRP set yet, according to Jim Ryan unlike PS4 a Japanese release will not come later than its western launch.
Below are some roughly translated excerpts from the interview via Gematsu.com, to quote:
On the Similarities Between the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 Logos
Jim Ryan: “It is important to give off a sense of consistency for products within the PlayStation brand. It is a must for anyone who sees [the logo] to immediately and positively think, ‘That’s PlayStation.’
There are over 100 million PlayStation 4 owners—there is a community there. We have an obligation to keep them happy, interested, and absorbed [in PlayStation].”
On the Migration from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5
Jim Ryan: “During the migration from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5, there will still be a great deal of PlayStation 4 users. That is very important and we have an obligation to those users. In the same way, we need to work out new appeals for PlayStation 5. This year will be a tough, but special year for us compared to previous console releases.”
On the Unique Appeals of PlayStation 5
Jim Ryan: “Each time a new console is released, the processor and graphics improve. Those are enticing of course, but we need to have special appeals as well. We have already confirmed the use of an solid-state drive. Having load times that are next to nothing is a major change.
