Chill out as temps rise with these fans from Shark, Dreame, and Dreo that are already on sale
We haven't made it to the middle of April yet, but the temperatures are already reminding us of what summer's heat will feel like. Spoiler: it's sticky. If you're not one of the lucky ones to have central A/C, a fan is a necessity. Or even if you do have A/C but your housemates like it hotter than you do, a fan can really help with levels of comfort. Pets also love to cool off in the cool breeze and we all know we'll buy them anything they wish.
If you know you'll want a fan (or a few) for this summer's heat, it's wise to get a jump start on those purchases. Fans tend to sell out or come with slow shipping when we need them most. Instead, shop these early deals at Amazon to get the best deals for staying cool.

Trump called the Artemis II crew. The silence went viral.
No, NASA's Artemis II astronauts did not make contact with extraterrestrial life on the far side of the moon — but they did get a call from Donald Trump.
As the crew traveled farther from Earth than any humans have in decades, the U.S. president phoned commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, mission specialist Christina Koch, and mission specialist Jeremy Hansen on Monday to congratulate them on the historic mission. The exchange was captured on the Artemis II livestream.
SEE ALSO: Artemis II proposed a name for a crater. It left everyone in tears."You've made history and made all of America really proud," Trump told the crew during the roughly 12-minute call, which took place just hours after they soared past the far side of the moon. The president called the astronauts "modern-day pioneers" and asked what it felt like to lose contact with Earth during the lunar flyby. "I said a little prayer, and then I had to keep rolling," Glover replied, adding that the crew worked on their detailed lunar observations during that time. "It was actually quite nice."
Trump acknowledged Hansen's role as the mission's Canadian astronaut, referring to him as a "neighbor." The president also referenced conversations with Canadian ice hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, spoke optimistically about future trips to Mars, and claimed, "America is the hottest country in the world right now." The Artemis II crew seemed more fascinated by the floating microphone drifting through the cabin, repeatedly grabbing for it as it bobbed weightlessly between them.
At one point, both sides of the call briefly wondered whether the connection had dropped, leading to several awkward seconds of silence.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Within minutes, clips of the exchange spread across social media, while the dead air became its own meme. One viral post described the moment simply: "Awkward scenes aboard Artemis II as Trump stops ranting and none of the astronauts have anything left to say to him, leading to extended dead air."
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.But the online reaction quickly shifted from the novelty of the call itself to the politics surrounding it.
Just days before the conversation, the White House proposed cutting NASA's overall budget by 23 percent for fiscal year 2027 while reducing NASA's science division by nearly half. At the same time, the proposal would increase funding for the Artemis mission, including $8.5 billion for the moon program and additional money for plans to establish a permanent lunar base camp. (Notably, NASA administrator Jared Isaacman supports the administration's proposed budget cuts.)
That contradiction became central to much of the internet's response. Posts juxtaposed Trump's praise for the astronauts and their scientific achievements with headlines about the proposed cuts.

The Planetary Society called it the NASA cuts an "existential threat" to U.S. space science and exploration, claiming it could result in at least 40 missions being canceled.
The call between Trump and the Artemis II crew is more of a snapshot of the larger debate surrounding NASA itself, one that asks whether America can pursue historic human milestones even as it scales back the science that makes them possible.

New iPhone Fold leak reveals size versus iPhone 18 Pro
Apple is expected to release the first foldable iPhone later this year (or potentially in 2027), and this week, a leaker claims to have a close-up look at the device.
Leaker Sonny Dickson shared photos on his X account purporting to show dummy models for the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the iPhone Fold.
The first two devices, as you'd expect, look like other iPhone Pro models, with three camera lenses in a rectangular bump on the back. One of them, presumably the Pro Max, looks a little bigger than the other. However, the real juice here is the alleged iPhone Fold model, representing one of the first looks at what could be a real representation of the upcoming, still unannounced phone.
SEE ALSO: iPhone Fold leaks, rumors, and renders: Everything we know This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.While Dickson didn't share exact size dimensions in his post, it's clear just from using your eyes that the iPhone Fold is both very wide and significantly more squat than its brethren. In fact, it looks even more wide and short than something like the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The leaked iPhone Fold model also has two rear camera lens cut-outs in a smaller raised bump than the ones found on the iPhone 18 Pro models.
These dummy models largely match what we've seen from previous leaks and renders of the device.
According to prior reports, the iPhone Fold's outer display will only be 5.5 inches, a big downsizing compared to regular iPhone models. However, once opened up, users will have access to 7.8 inches of screen space. The iPhone Fold is also rumored to cost more than $2,000, though, so it will likely come with a steep price tag.
While we expect the iPhone Fold to launch later in 2026, a new report coinciding with Dickson's latest leak suggests the launch could be pushed into 2027. At any rate, this is a lot of information to digest about a device Apple hasn't even confirmed yet.
