Galaxy Watch Classic fan discovers bezel trick that looks like magic

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR A Reddit clip shows the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic’s bezel still works when held above the screen, thanks to magnetic sensing. The bezel uses a Hall sensor to detect changes in a magnetic field, rather than a mechanical connection. The same system is used on the latest Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. The rotating bezel is one of the Galaxy Watch Classic’s signature features, but it turns out that it doesn’t actually need to touch the smartwatch to work. It’s one

Headaches can be annoying and persistent, and taking aspirin or simply lying down may not always help. If that sounds like you, you may want to look at changing your plate of food for more relief. Of course, just changing what food you consume won't automatically cure headaches or migraines, but some foods may help ease them when they arrive -- in addition to hydration, exercise, sleep and stress management. Tracking those habits and symptoms over time can be easier with the right smartwatch. "

Monarch Butterflies Are Losing Their Navigational Abilities. You Can Guess Why

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-11-25 04:00:43

Each fall, millions of eastern North American monarch butterflies migrate up to 3,000 miles south to the mountains of central Mexico, then return to their northern range in the spring. These winged insects rely on a complex navigation system to go to and from their overwintering sites, and new research suggests climate change may be messing with it. Monarch butterflies have two distinct biological “compasses.” The primary one infers direction based on their circadian rhythm and the position of
