Amazon Prime Day is in its final hours, following nearly four days of fantastic deals on headphones, TVs, fitness trackers, and — unsurprisingly — robot vacuums. Thankfully, there’s still something available for every home and budget, whether you’re looking for a robovac with self-extending arms that can pull double duty as an autonomous mop or a basic, budget-friendly option for everyday...
Microsoft's complicated relationship with OpenAI is about to take an interesting turn. As the pair continue to renegotiate a contract to allow OpenAI to restructure into a for-profit company, OpenAI is preparing to release an open language AI model that could drive even more of a wedge between the two companies. Sources familiar with OpenAI's plans tell me that CEO Sam Altman's AI lab is...
The Echo Show 8 currently starts at just $109.99. Prime Day is one of the best times of the year to stock up on smart home gear. With big price drops on all of Amazon’s many smart home brands, from Blink and Ring to Echo speakers and Eero Wi-Fi routers, plus a ton of other manufacturers getting in on the action, making your smart home better rarely gets more affordable. However, there are...
Apple typically doesn’t discount its own hardware, which makes Prime Day deals on its gear so appealing. We’ve rounded up the best Apple Watch Prime Day deals, and we’re particularly struck by the discount on the Apple Watch Series 10. The 42mm aluminum GPS model has dropped to an all-time low price of $279.99 ($120 off) at Amazon and Walmart. If you prefer a larger watch, the 46mm...
Just look at these beauts. Samsung just announced its seventh-generation folding phones, and it finally retired the long and narrow Z Fold design that it had stuck with for far too long. The Z Flip is also getting an overdue upgrade to a full-size cover screen rather than the file folder shape of the past couple generations. After years of incremental upgrades and barely warmed-over designs...
Here’s the new Galaxy Watch 8 lineup. From left to right: 40mm Galaxy Watch 8, 44mm Watch 8, Classic, and the Ultra. One thing is immediately noticeable as I try on the new Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch 8 Classic just ahead of Samsung Unpacked. The squircle has taken over. The circle-face-in-a-square-case design was introduced last year with the Galaxy Watch Ultra, and it has now made its...
Google is bringing some AI support updates to Samsung’s latest generation of Galaxy foldables and watches. Google is adding new AI features to Android’s Circle to Search and Gemini Live tools. The update was announced today, alongside the launch of the next-generation Galaxy foldables, and it includes new Gemini Live capabilities for Samsung devices and integrates Google’s search-centric AI...
A federal appeals court just threw out a new government regulation that would have required subscription services to give consumers an easy way to cancel. The Federal Trade Commission’s click-to-cancel rule was set to take effect next week, and would have required everything from your gym membership to Amazon Prime subscription to let customers cancel their recurring payments as easily as...
Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event is underway in Brooklyn. It’s where the company is currently announcing its latest folding phones and Galaxy Watches. The timing is weird! Because we already saw them ahead of the event and just published our hands-on coverage below. Still, we’ll cover some of the commentary from the event and any surprises that pop up. Follow along below...
After announcing in May that it was giving up and returning to HBO Max branding for its streaming service, today Warner Bros. has officially made the change. The new / old branding can now be found across the streamer’s website and apps. It was reported yesterday that the switch might happen today, and the process is already underway. Max.com now redirects to hbomax.com, and both the...
