Hints don’t get much bigger than the one dropped by Oppo Chief Product Officer Pete Lau on the Chinese social network Weibo about the Oppo Find N5. What makes this hint extra special is that the Oppo Find N5 is a big-screen folding phone that’s almost certainly going to very closely resemble the OnePlus Open 2. As tech fans may already know, while Lau works for Oppo now, he co-founded OnePlus. “The world’s thinnest folding flagship, Oppo Find N5, see you in February,” reads the message posted to Weibo, which is accompanied by a teaser image showing a pencil obscuring…

In response to new export restrictions placed on AI GPUs, Nvidia posted a scathing blog criticizing the outgoing Biden-Harris administration. The administration’s Interim Final Rule on Artificial Intelligence Diffusion largely targets China with restrictions on AI GPUs, according to Newsweek. Nvidia disagrees. “While cloaked in the guise of an ‘anti-China’ measure, these rules would do nothing to enhance U.S. security. The new rules would control technology worldwide, including technology that is already widely available in mainstream gaming PCs and consumer hardware. Rather than mitigate any threat, the new Biden rules would only weaken America’s global competitiveness, undermining the innovation that…

I admit it: Even though my job means I’m supposed to be laser-focused on sound quality, usability, value for money, and durability, every now and then, I see an audio product that I want to own simply because it looks awesome. That was my reaction at CES 2025 when I laid eyes on Fiio’s KA15 — a tiny mobile headphone DAC/amp that sells for $110 (though as of today’s date, it’s down to $90 on Amazon). Specs-wise, this little all-aluminum, baby blue and silver gadget — which also comes in a much more serious Midnight Black color — covers everything you…
