iFixit’s teardown of the RedMagic 11 Pro reveals the inner workings of its liquid-cooling tubes.
This China-only Android phone is the first to include the feature, along with just about every other type of cooling tech, including fans, a heatsink, and a vapor chamber, all topped by the blue liquid cooling system.
According to iFixit, however, all that cooling didn’t make up for the RedMagic 11 Pro’s limited repair options.

Violin, anonymous, c. 1705 - c. 1710
This tin-glazed earthenware violin cannot be played, for it is a decorative object. When the collector John Loudon purchased it for a record 1500 guilders in 1876, this violin was considered to be the absolute masterpiece of Delft earthenware. The modelling and painted decoration
certainly make it an exceptional object.
Gift of the heirs of J.F. Loudon, The Hague

A digital painting depicts a caricature of a person in a formal suit. The individual has fair skin, with pronounced features including a large nose, sunken cheeks, and small, focused eyes. The person is wearing a black suit jacket over a white collared shirt and a dark tie patterned with small yellow triangular shapes. The background is a solid dark brown color, and there is a signature or artist's mark in the bottom right corner. The overall style of the painting is detailed and somewhat exaggerated, typical of a caricature portrait.

in reply to RememberUsAlways • • •The image is a digitally altered photo of two figures standing side-by-side in what appears to be an indoor hallway or entryway. The figure on the left is wearing a black t-shirt with a colorful anime-style graphic, black pants, and silver sneakers. The figure on the right is wearing a bright red jacket with white details, dark pants, and red sneakers. Both figures are looking forward with serious expressions. Overlaid on the image is text in large, white capital letters that reads: "LISTEN UP LIBERALS: MY WIFE LEFT ME." The background is blurred and features what appears to be a metallic sculpture or decorative element.
