What will the upcoming OnePlus 6 look like? According to recent rumors it has been suggested that the phone could come with a notch in its display, but now it looks like the design of the phone might have been revealed, although interestingly enough the design of the phone is actually that of another device.

The Oppo R15 was recently announced and it seems that many are speculating that the OnePlus 6 will look like it. This is because based on previous releases, OnePlus handsets have typically resembled some of Oppo’s releases because OnePlus is actually a subsidiary of Oppo. For example the OnePlus 5T bears a striking resemblance to the Oppo R11S, which has some thinking that the OnePlus 6 could look like the Oppo R15.

Whether or not that is true remains to be seen, but the rumors of a notched display appear to be corroborated in the R15’s design, which if OnePlus is borrowing from will also sport a similar look. That being said if the speculation is correct and the OnePlus 6 looks like the R15, it’s not necessarily a bad thing as the R15 does have a pretty sleek design.

We’re not sure if OnePlus might put their own spin on it and make some changes here and there, so take it with a grain of salt for now. There’s no word on when the OnePlus 6 will be announced, but with the OnePlus 5 launched in June 2017, presumably the OnePlus 6 will be unveiled around a similar time.

It is no secret that mining for cryptocurrency like Bitcoin will require a lot of electricity, which is why sometimes it has been suggested that sometimes it might not necessarily be worth all the energy and money spent setting up a mining rig as the operational costs could cost more. That being said, those in New York will soon have to start paying more.

The New York State Public Service Commission has recently announced that municipal power companies can charge higher electricity rates to cryptocurrency miners. Prior to this, a group of municipal power authorities had actually petitioned New York’s PSC for permission on raising the electricity rates for cryptocurrency miners, and now it looks like their wish has come true.

This is due to the fact that like we said, mining cryptocurrency takes up a lot of energy which can strain small local grids, which in turn causes rates to increase for other residents.

For example over in the Village of Akron, the power demanded by companies that are mining cryptocurrency accounted for 33% of the lower power company’s load. The PSC also notes that in some places, the monthly bills for residents saw an increase of nearly $10 because of cryptocurrency companies basing their mining operations there.

As ArsTechnica points out, in Boulder County, Colorado, marijuana growers are charged a higher electricity rate due to the power they consume to run equipment like lights, ventilation systems, air conditioners, and more, so there is precedent for a hike in electricity rates for particularly power-hungry industries.
