Tiny round batteries are easy for young kids to mistake for candy. But if a child swallows one, it can burn their throat in less than 15 minutes. Every year, American hospitals report more than 3,500 cases of kids swallowing these small power cells. Energizer has finally come up with a smarter way to handle this problem. The company just launched a new line of batteries called Ultimate Child Shield . These are 20mm lithium coin batteries, the same size used in many small electronics. But they work very differently from regular ones. First, these batteries do not cause burning in the esophagus if a child swallows them. That alone is a big deal. Second, the batteries have a special blue dye inside. When the battery touches saliva, the dye turns the child’s mouth blue. That gives parents a clear sign that something has happened. They can then rush the child to a doctor. The new batteries come in three sizes: 2032, 2025, and 2016. You will find these sizes in things l...

If you are looking for the best foldable phone right now, the OPPO Find N6 has just landed on Globe Postpaid . Like most foldables, the big selling point here is the inner screen. It measures 8.12 inches when you open it up, converting the smartphone into a tablet-like experience. That gives you plenty of room to look at files, reply to messages, and switch between different apps without the usual clutter you get on smaller screens. Under the hood, you will find a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip with 16GB of RAM, which keeps everything running smoothly without annoying lags. OPPO made some changes to the hinge and the glass to fix one of the biggest complaints about foldables: the crease. The new Titanium Flexion Hinge and special glass make the crease really hard to see. It also feels smooth when you swipe your finger over it. The company says the phone can fold 600,000 times and still look flat. In the long run, OPPO claims that it can survive up to a million folds. T...

A 5G version of the Redmi 15C is now in the Philippines. The Redmi 15C 5G follows up on the Redmi 15C 4G that came out way back in September. It is basically the same exact device, but the 4G-only MediaTek Helio G81 Ultra chip was upgraded to a trusty MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor. It has 256GB of storage, but sadly, it only has 4GB of RAM. Everything else was left untouched. We still have a 6.9-inch IPS display with only an HD+ resolution, but a high 120Hz refresh rate. Sadly, it only has one speaker, no stereo. A big 6,000mAh battery still provides power, paired with 33W fast charging. 10W reverse charging is also here, which is fast enough to charge other smartphones, accessories, and more. For the cameras, we have the 50-megapixel main shooter on the back and an 8-megapixel on the front. It runs on Android 15-based HyperOS 2, but it’s not clear how long they will provide software updates. For durability, it is IP64 dust and water-resistant a...

If you were hoping to see a computer win an Oscar, you can forget about it. The group that runs the Academy Awards just changed the rules. Starting with the show in March 2027, performances and scripts created by artificial intelligence will not be allowed to win any awards. The new rule says that filmmakers can still use AI as a tool. But the final acting performance has to be done by a real person, not a “synthetic” one. The same goes for screenplays. They must be written by humans. The Academy can ask for extra proof if they suspect a movie broke the rule. This new policy comes at a strange time. An upcoming independent movie called “As Deep as the Grave” features a digital version of the late actor Val Kilmer. He passed away in April 2025. The actor had to leave the project because he was sick. But the filmmakers used AI to put him in a big part of the movie anyway. The director, Coerte Voorhees, said the actor’s family gave him the green l...
