Oppo Reno 4 & Reno 4 Pro Feature 90Hz AMOLED Display, Gaming CPU & 5G
Oppo launched its Reno series of smartphones last year in April, which is now being updated with the Reno 4 and Reno 4 Pro. The lineup’s defining feature, the shark fin pop-up camera was ditched a while ago and the same is the case with the Reno 4 series but they do have 90Hz AMOLED displays, 65W fast charging, and more.
Design and Display The Reno 4 and the Reno 4 Pro have 6.4″ and 6.55″ FHD+ AMOLED displays respectively with in-display fingerprint sensors. Only the Pro model comes with a 90Hz refresh rate, a singular punch-hole camera, and much smaller bezels.

MIT Develops Sensors Embedded in Clothes to Monitor Your Health
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has come up with a COVID-19 sensor that can be embedded into clothing and monitors the wearer’s health vitals. These sensors are responsible for monitoring the vital signs of the body like respiratory rate, heart rate, and body temperature.
These sensors can be integrated into any clothing including polyester which is usually used for athletic wear. The sensors are very thin and therefore protect the aesthetics of the garment’s design. These sensors are also waterproof which means these are machine washable and can also be removed and re-used in different garments.
In particular, this could be a cost-effective and time-saving way for patients with chronic illnesses that require constant check-ups to be in touch with their doctors. The individuals can themselves collect the data and send it to their doctors who can then remotely monitor the condition, resulting in an automated process that makes it easier for both the patients and the doctor..

Kia Reveals Sporty Euro-Spec Picanto Facelift [Pictures]
Kia Picanto, also known as the Kia Morning back home in Korea, has just had a makeover that is actually quite clever. The Korean manufacturer that was once far from popular in the automotive industry, has now begun to garner serious attention with its bold designs and cutting-edge features.
The following have been the major changes in Picanto’s looks with respect to each variant.
GT-Line Variant Credits: autoexpress.co.uk The new Picanto GT-Line variant sports subtle and smart-looking red accents all around the body, starting on the rear diffuser, coming round to the side skirts, and ending on either side of the tiger-nose grille.
The grille outline now features a textured finish, which extends into the restyled headlamps to make an unbroken crease which, according to Kia, is a design quirk that makes the car look more planted and wide.
On the front, along with a refreshed grille and front bumper design, the car features sharper-looking projector headlamps. In the headlight design,..

WHO Now Wants Everybody To Wear Mask In Its New Humbled ‘Guidance’
Months after it declared the novel coronavirus a global health emergency and several reputed studies confirmed the virus’s airborne transmission, the World Health Organization has finally issued its ‘new guidance’ on the use of face masks. And it basically urges everyone to wear one.
‘Today, the WHO is publishing updated guidance on the use of masks for control of Covid-19,” said Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus, chief of the UN health body that has been dubbing the use of face masks by the general public as needless since the pandemic’s beginning; only those caring for or working around the infected were recommended to wear one.
FACT: #COVID19 is NOT airborne.
The #coronavirus is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes or speaks.
To protect yourself:
-keep 1m distance from others
-disinfect surfaces frequently
-wash/rub your ?
-avoid touching your ??? pic.twitter.com/fpkcpHAJx7

The federal government has ordered the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to explain the rationale behind its letter sent to Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) earlier this week.
The letter from the Additional Director Operations CAA to PIA’s Safety and Quality Assurance Department stated that the pilot of the ill-fated PIA flight PK-8303 ignored repeated instructions from the Air Traffic Controller (ATC) that led to the crash.

The letter further asked PIA to take measures to ensure that such a situation does not emerge in the future.
On 22 May, ATC had warned the pilot of the plane’s unusually high speed and altitude before its final approach. However, the pilot did not heed ATC’s warnings, according to the letter.
The federal government is of the view that CAA should have provided this information to the 4-member inquiry board investigating the crash rather than sending it on its own to the PIA.
