This exorbitant Bang & Olufsen TV has moving mechanical ‘wing speakers’

Who says only phones can fold? Bang & Olufsen’s newest premium TV decides it wants in on the folding action. The Beovision Harmony TV has mechanical, rotating panel speakers that unfold like butterfly wings when you turn it on. It follows in the footsteps of the Samsung Frame TV and LG rollable OLED TV in making these television as part of a room’s design. While these two try to hide the TV part when not in use, you can’t exactly mask the Beovision Harmony TV. There is an element of drama to it still. The TV panel, which uses LG’s 77-inch C9 OLED screen, is partially hidden by the folding speakers when it isn’t in use. Turn the TV on and the screen lifts and the speakers fan out and down similar to a butterfly opening its wings.

Twitter hopes to combat spam and bot accounts by limiting the amount of users you can follow in a day. It’s now down from 1,000 to 400. Admittedly for us, that’s still a whole lot of accounts to follow in a 24-hour period. "As a part of our commitment to building a healthy service, we remain focused on stopping spam and abuse on Twitter," a spokesperson for Twitter told Engadget. "We found that having a high daily follow rate contributed to follower churn, and as a result, we are reducing the daily follow rate limit from 1,000 to 400."

Follower churn is described as the process of following and unfollowing accounts. It’s done to get a users’ attention and try to get others to follow back and increase follower count.
