Oppo Enco Buds3 Pro+ review: Clear sound with good battery life  | Technology News

Wireless earphones are becoming an essential part of our lives, and everyone now has a pair slipped inside their denim pockets or handbags. The only questions most people now seem to be asking are how much they spend on these products and what features they need, given their use cases. The Oppo Enco Buds3 Pro+ is another option for Indian users who struggle to listen to their favourite songs in a noisy metro.  The Oppo Enco Buds3 Pro+ comes in a very interesting, sleek oval case that is perfect to slip into the small pocket of your jeans, which is witnessing a rebirth thanks to TWS devices. Inside, the earbuds have a regular design that is comfortable to wear for long hours. However, the silicone tips that came fitted were small for me and I had to find the extra pairs in the box for a better fit and seal.  When I first used the earbuds with the iPhone, I could not feel the noise-cancelling. That is when I downloaded the HeyMelody app to control …

Daniil Dubov after beating Praggnanandhaa: ‘He failed to pose single problem with white despite probably spending day and night looking at stuff’ | Chess News

Russian grandmaster Daniil Dubov, who sent home India’s R Praggnanandhaa from the FIDE World Cup in the fourth round tiebreaks on Thursday, revealed that he dislikes classical chess so much that he prepared for just 10 minutes for the two classical games against the Indian prodigy, who was a finalist at the last World Cup. Both classical games between Praggnanandhaa and Dubov ended in draws, thus pushing them to fight in the rapid tiebreaks on Thursday, where the former world rapid champion prevailed. Dubov also said that while Pragg spent “day and night looking at chess he had failed to pose a single problem” to him in their classical games. “Generally Praggnanandhaa didn’t show his best in this tournament, not only in this match. I would say it was very close but I think I had some little precious role in the match despite the will to make a draw with white pieces. I didn’t actually mind playing. But it’s just that with white against someone like Pragg who is prepared this well I actually …

Wisconsin audits find lack of tracking of DEI spending at university system and state agencies | Education

Wisconsin audits find lack of tracking of DEI spending at university system and state agencies | Education

MADISON, Wis. — Republican-ordered audits released Friday found that Wisconsin state agencies and the University of Wisconsin system have failed to track the millions of dollars they spent on diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, making it difficult to fully assess the initiatives. Wisconsin audits find lack of tracking of DEI spending at university system and state agencies The highly anticipated reports come amid a push by President Donald Trump to end federal government support for DEI programs. There have been similar efforts in Wisconsin by Republicans who control the Legislature. The reports’ findings are likely to further increase pressure from Republicans to do away with anything related to DEI. DEI practices at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in particular have come under close scrutiny. The system’s flagship campus fired its chief diversity officer, La Var Charleston, in January for what university officials said were poor financial decisions he had made, including approving substantial raises and authorizing what they deemed to be excessive spending on travel. The school is one of 50 universities across the country that …
