OnePlus has just announced the release of OxtgenOS 4.5 OTA for the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T. The new update brings in a number of new additions to the stable OxygenOS for these devices, as well as various system stability and battery improvements. Lift up Display, a feature previously limited to the OxygenOS beta channel has now finally made it to the stable version with this new update. That means users can now peek at their notifications simply by lifting the device up from the surface, without actually waking up the device by double tapping the screen or pressing the power button. The new update also adds a Gaming Do Not Disturb mode to help gamers better focus on their gameplay by effectively blocking out heads-up notifications and sounds.

  Prices for the iRobot Roomba j7 series have reached record lows. With the Roomba j7 being $250 less expensive than usual, and the Roomba j7+ being $200 less expensive. https://linkjust.com/lKbjkgDZ59WMURB3L2omZ    The auto-empty dock is the only difference between these two variants. The auto-empty dock for the Roomba j7+ is included, and it can keep enough dust and debris for the robot vacuum to run for nearly two months. Unless you add the Roomba Combo j7, the Roomba j7 is still the most recent robot from iRobot. It was released over a year ago. The guarantee that iRobot provided helped the j7 gain a lot of popularity. Pet poop avoidance is guaranteed by iRobot, or they'll replace the j7 series for nothing. Its P.O.O.P. policy, which stands for Pet Owner Official Promise, includes this. But it must be pretty good if iRobot is so certain that it will avoid pet waste, right? It is.    Additionally, the j7 boasts "PrecisionVision," a revolutionary system integrated insid
