Best Tested Portable Air Conditioners for 2025

cnet.com Gianmarco Chumbe 2025-06-21 11:01:00

Having central air is nice, but not every living space comes with that luxury. Sure, you could install something like a window air unit, but that can be a hassle, and you need to make sure your windows are suited for the job. Thankfully, there are also portable air conditioner units. With one of these, you can get your desired temperature without having to install a permanent unit, and they can be much more affordable than central air. You can move them around the house if needed, too. Along wit

“How do you make a small fortune in tabletop gaming?” runs an old joke. The punchline, of course, is that you come to that market with a large one. The tabletop truly is a brutally challenging place to try to earn money, one which you have to be either wildly deluded or unbelievably passionate to even contemplate entering. Nevertheless, people have been making a go of it there for quite some decades by now. We’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that love rather than mental illnes

This Automated Ball-Strike System (ABS), which has been in development for four years in the minor leagues, could aid MLB home plate umpires as early as 2026.

Oliver Cragg / Android Authority TL;DR Apple’s upcoming book-style foldable phone will apparently have an outer screen that’s “shorter and fatter” than the OPPO Find N. It’s also believed that the inner screen “unfolds like an iPad.” There could be a big difference in size between the inner and outer screens compared to other foldables.

Oppo's new foldable phone is one of the thinnest I've seen - and I hope OnePlus and Samsung follow suit

zdnet.com Prakhar Khanna 2025-06-21 03:00:19

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET The world's thinnest book-style foldable, the Oppo Find N5, is finally here. I've had it for a week, and it has surprised me in more ways than one -- both positively and negatively. At 8.93mm thick when folded, it's closer to slab phones than any other foldable has ever been. But that slimness didn't come without compromises. Judging by the on-paper camera specifications, I expected it to be underwhelming, but it's better than other foldable phones in almost every regard.

Shure Aonic 50 Gen 2: A lot of us liked Shure's original Aonic 50 headphones, but they had pretty middling noise cancellation. Well, the 2nd-gen version addresses that issue -- the noise canceling is much improved -- and Shure has more than doubled the the battery life to around 45 hours (they now have a quick-charge feature) and also shrunk the headphone's carry case a bit, although it's still not that compact.

According to reports, 18 new fab construction projects are planned for 2025 alone, making it crucial to address these challenges.
