Phones with both a cooling fan and water resistance don’t exist, until now

OPPO TL;DR OPPO has announced the K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro in China. These new phones have cooling fans and are water-resistant. The OPPO K13 Turbo series starts at ~$251 in China. We’ve seen a few gaming phones over the years with built-in cooling fans. Unfortunately, the need for a cooling fan vent means these phones aren’t water-resistant. Thankfully, OPPO’s latest phones buck this trend. OPPO announced the K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro in China today, and both of these budget gaming ph

Animals Are the Original Wellness Influencers

As a child, Julian Ako would visit his maternal great-grandfather’s home near Pilaa Beach in Kauai, Hawaii, where he and his family would gather edible fungi that grow on kukui trees and collect seaweed and fish from the reef.

Foldable phones are thin and light in 2025, so why are these brands bending the truth?

Paul Jones / Android Authority TL;DR A Twitter user has shown that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is thinner than the HONOR Magic V5.

New colors without shooting lasers into your eyes

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-23 22:01:17

1. Your eyes sense color. They do this because you have three different kinds of cone cells on your retinas, which are sensitive to different wavelengths of light. For whatever reason, evolution decided those wavelengths should be overlapping. For example, M cones are most sensitive to 535 nm light, while L cones are most sensitive to 560 nm light. But M cones are still stimulated quite a lot by 560 nm light—around 80% of maximum. This means you never (normally) get to experience having just o
