Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer, and if you somehow managed to skip your spring cleaning earlier this year, the turning of the season offers a fresh chance to declutter your space. Thankfully, the Twelve South HiRise 3 Deluxe offers a stylish way to organize your desk or bedside table, and it’s currently available for a new low of $79.99 ($20 off) from Amazon and Twelve South. Twelve South’s sturdy HiRise 3 Deluxe is a great 3-in-1 charging stand for a number of reasons. Not only can it deliver up to 15W of power to MagSafe-compatible iPhones, but it’s also capable of fast-charging an Apple Watch Series 7 and newer models. It includes a 7.5W wireless charging pad as well, which you can use to top off a pair of AirPods or any other Qi-compatible device you might have on hand, including a second phone, a Samsung Galaxy Watch, or other electronics. What truly sets it apart from a lot of other 3-in-1 chargers, though, is its design; instead of placing the charging …

Malavika Mohanan admits South’s ‘navel obsession is real’, was trolled for being too skinny for Tamil audiences: ‘You’ve lost your chub’ | Bollywood News

Actor Malavika Mohanan, who has worked across industries in India, spoke about the frequent comments about her body that she has to face. She also admitted that ‘navel obsession’ is a real thing in the South, as is a preference for women who aren’t skinny. She said that she has been told by co-stars and team members that she is either too skinny or too chubby, and that she doesn’t appreciate such comments. Malavika is the daughter of cinematographer KU Mohanan, and has worked in the Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu film industries. In an interview with Hauterrfly, she said, “Every industry has a different idea of the ideal female body type. If I put on a little bit of weight and I come to Mumbai for work, my manager will be like, ‘You put on a little bit? You’ve stopped working out?’ And at the same time, if I’m fit and have washboard abs and I’m in Chennai, they’ll say, ‘Oh, you’ve lost your chub, you were cuter when you had your chub’. Women’s …

Twelve South’s travel-friendly Bluetooth dongle is on sale for its best price yet

Published by Webster

The Twelve South AirFly SE is one of those gadgets that can make long flights go by just a little faster, allowing you to eschew the shoddy pair of complimentary earbuds you get with most airlines in favor of your own set of Bluetooth cans. And right now, it’s on sale at Amazon and Best Buy for $29.99 ($5 off), which is a new all-time low. Twelve South’s entry-level Bluetooth transmitter features an integrated 3.5mm cable, meaning all you need to do is plug it into the seatback entertainment system and pair it with your favorite pair of wireless earbuds or noise-canceling headphones. It doesn’t last as long as the step-up AirFly Pro and Pro Deluxe — nor does it allow for two simultaneous connections — but it still lets a single user eke out 20 hours of continuous playback on a single charge. Plus, it works with virtually any standard audio jack, making the compact dongle an easy way to add Bluetooth connectivity to older devices… including that aging treadmill at the gym that’s …
