There’s no shortage of wireless earbuds out there, but if you want noise cancellation, full iOS compatibility, and a fit that won’t budge during a workout, you should consider the Beats Fit Pro. Right now, you can buy them on sale for $99.99 at StackSocial (reg. $199.99). The sale includes all four color options—white, black, gray, and purple. They're “open box” models, meaning that they’ve likely been handled but not used, and they’ve been inspected to make sure they’re still in new condition. They’re rated IPX4 for water resistance, so sweat and l…

At least 25 million people have had their personal information stolen in a major hack on business services company Conduent. The data breach itself isn't new—it was initially disclosed in January 2025, and Conduent has already notified millions of individuals whose data was compromised in the incident. However, the breach is now believed to be larger in scale than previously reported, possibly among the largest to affect healthcare. Who is Conduent? Conduent is a New Jersey-based business processing outsourcing (BPO) company that provides services like printing, payment, and document and claims processing to state and federal government agencies as well as large commerci…

Five years can feel like a commitment, but not for a quality VPN this cheap. Right now, you can get an iProVPN five-year subscription on sale for just $19.99 at StackSocial, down from its $360 list price. Instead of paying month to month or even annually, you’re effectively paying about $4 per year. At that price, the money isn't as much a concern as whether the service fits how you actually use the internet. So let's focus on that. iProVPN positions itself as a general-purpose VPN, not a niche privacy tool meant for power users. In day-to-day use, …

Others want to feel the kick drum in their jaw. The Skullcandy Crusher Evo Wireless sit firmly in the second camp, though you can rein them in if you want. Right now they’re $99.99 on Amazon, down from $209.99. (The lowest recorded price was $97.99.) Skullcandy Crusher Evo Wireless Bluetooth Headphones …

If you lose something important, invariably it will happen at the worst possible time—say, your keys disappearing right before you need to leave the house, or you can't find the remote and the big game is starting. Bluetooth trackers exist to help solve this exact problem, and now is a good time to pick up a bunch of them at a discount: A four-pack Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2 is currently $44.99 on Woot, compared with $55.99 on Amazon. The bundle includes four trackers. Prime members get free standard shipping, while everyone else pays $6, though the…

Amazon’s color e-reader, the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition, is currently available for $206.99 in refurbished condition, which price trackers show is the lowest it has reached so far. A brand-new unit sells for about $279, so the discount is fairly noticeable if you are comfortable buying refurbished. This deal comes through Amazon’s refurbished program, meaning the device has already been inspected and cleared for functionality. Storage is 32GB, which is more than enough space for thousands of ebooks and a good number of audiobooks. …

It hasn't even been a month since Samsung announced the new Galaxy S26 lineup of phones, and the flagship version, the Galaxy S26 Ultra, which starts at $1,299.99, is already getting a solid deal from Amazon: You can get a $200 Amazon gift card when placing your order through the online retailer. The deal applies to all four colors, and both the basic 256GB version and the maxed-out 512GB storage option as well. It's worth noting that if you plan to do a trade-in, Samsung offers better trade-in credits than Amazon, going up to $720. …

There have been many different models of Echo smart speakers over the years, but the newest Echo Studio is one of the first that feels like a true smart speaker—offering premium sound and features that can compete with the best smart speakers in the market—rather than just a glorified Amazon accessory. Right now, you can get the 2nd-generation Echo Studio for $189.99 (originally $219.99), the lowest price it has been, according to price tracking tools. …

The best sale you’ll find on a Garmin watch during the ongoing Amazon Big Spring Sale is probably this Forerunner 265, which will run you $344.95. It’s an excellent watch—I said as much when I reviewed it. If this watch appeals to you, go ahead and buy it—but there are some caveats you should consider before buying one. Garmin Forerunner 265 Running Smartwatch …

A good workout on a rowing machine can engage up to 86% of your muscles, combining cardio and strength training while being gentle on your joints. After a few months of testing the new Hydrow Arc Rowing Machine—which I reviewed in depth—I trust Hydrow as a brand name. And right now, the Hydrow Origin Rowing Machine is available for $1,895 as a part of Amazon's Big Spring Sale, a 14% discount off its list price of $2,195. Hydrow Origin Rowing Machine …

Amazon's Fire TV Stick 4K Plus is one of Amazon's most popular Fire TV Stick options. In fact, it's a renamed version of the 2nd Gen Fire TV Stick 4K launched back in 2023. Still, it's no slouch. It's powerful enough for 4K entertainment, and at $25 for the Amazon Big Spring Sale (down from $49.99), it's a worthwhile deal as well. Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus $24.99 at Amazon /images/amazon-prime.svg …

With so many options on the market, it can be tough to differentiate between vacuum robots and mop hybrids. But if you’re on a budget, one major factor to consider is whether it has a roller mop. A roller mop cleans hard floors better by preventing dirty water from spreading and is more effective at removing heavy-duty messes, similar to wiping up a mess with a wet towel. The new Eufy Omni C28 is the “most budget-friendly roller mop robot vacuum,” according to Mashable, and right now it's 38% off for the Amazon Big Spring Sale, bringing it to a reco…

In Apple TV's Your Friends and Neighbors, Jon Hamm plays Andrew "Coop" Cooper, a recently divorced New York hedge fund manager who's even more recently, unemployed. In an effort to keep up an illusion that nothing in his life has changed, he begins breaking into the homes of his wealthy neighbors to steal and sell their stuff, inadvertently catching on to their secrets as well. (The friends and neighbors of the title include Amanda Peet, Olivia Munn, Mark Tallman, Hoon Lee, Lena Hall, and Aimee Carrero.) This dark comedy isn't exactly about how hard it is to be a once-rich suburban white guy, but neither is it a pointed l…

DJI built its reputation on drones and creator gear, but the brand has been making serious moves in the portable power space. The DJI Power 2000 is the company's most capable standalone power station yet. Think of it as a large rechargeable battery you can take anywhere—camping, a job site, an outdoor movie night, or just kept in the garage for when the power goes out. At $799, it's currently down $500 from its original $1,299 price tag. That's a solid discount for something that sits in the higher end of this category. …

Trying in vain to get your grocery costs down? Skimping at the fuel pump only to run out of gas a week later? You’re not alone. With everyday costs on the rise, it’s easy to feel like you just can’t get ahead of your finances. Successful savers take a more practical approach to their finances. Rather than obsessing over daily expenses, they focus on trimming the bigger monthly bills. The best place to start could be your car loan. Autopay takes the stress and time out of refinancing your auto loan, giving you a quic…

Few things are more stressful when flying than a security screening line that is far longer than expected. In recent weeks, due to the partial federal government shutdown that left Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers without pay, travelers at major airports encountered wait times of up to four hours to clear security. (As of April 2, these bottlenecks have largely eased.) During "normal" times, it's easier to determine how early you actually need to arrive, but if you want to find the sweet spot between spending pointless hours at the airport and missing your flight, you should keep an eye on current security wait times, which are available across multi…

For the fourth year running, I am using dunks to create what’s sometimes called a “mosquito bucket of doom” or a "mosquito death bucket"—a trap that entices mosquitoes to breed in standing water that you have (muahahaha) poisoned against them.

I traditionally have avoided tying my phone to a specific carrier, but I threw all my principles out the window when my local AT&T offered me a free iPhone 17 Pro if I switched, and traded in my beloved unlocked Pixel 9. It was an offer too good to refuse. Now, T-Mobile is offering a similar deal nationwide. Switch allegiances to them and get a free iPhone 17e, no trade-in necessary. Or, you can choose an iPhone 17 if you trade in an eligible device and choose a premium T-Mobile plan. Here are the details. …

It stands to reason then that, if you're an Android user, reading headlines that suggest Microsoft is shutting down your email service on your mobile OS of choice sounds a bit shocking. After all, Outlook is a massive program, and Android is the world's largest mobile platform; why in the world would Microsoft decide to deprecate its email service on Android? That's because Google isn't sunsetting the Outlook for Android app; rather, the company is doing away with Outlook Lite, a lightweight versi…

The Artemis II moon mission was a full success. Its crew of four astronauts splashed down safely on earth last week after traveling further into outer space than any humans before them. Like most Americans, I followed the mission with a sense of wonder and pride that felt out-of-place in 2026–this was actual history being made, and even my blackened heart swelled. But not everyone was excited; some people are not buying this whole "orbiting the moon" thing and are convinced that the mission never happened. Everyone is lying, the images and videos we've seen are bogus, and spaceflight doesn't even make sense. I've spent a lot of time digging into the many conspiracy theo…

In recent years, Apple has taken significant steps to make the iPad more like a Mac. But while windowed multitasking and a desktop-like Files app helps bridge the gap, the gap still exists. It's still a bit too difficult to use an iPad like a touchscreen MacBook, leaving fans who want such a product wanting. Luckily, a touchscreen MacBook is in the works—it might just take a bit longer than expected to get here. 11-inch iPad Pro (256GB) $899.99 …

Martin’s books (and their television adaptations) were enchanted by the first season of HBO's new spinoff A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms because it offered a fresh perspective on the fictional universe of Westeros. Set roughly between the events depicted in House of the Dragon and A Game of Thrones, the show follows the misadventures of Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk) and the future King Aegon V (Egg) as the former attempts to establish himself as a hedge knight in the violent, dragon-less, but relatively stable world of the Seven Kingdoms. It's a show about refreshingly earnest and noble main character who …

Though I've spent years evangelizing for the Boox Palma 2, a phone-sized Chinese e-reader with an open Android operating system, my allegiances have shifted in recent months. I'm now obsessed with the tiny, slightly janky, minimalist devices put out by Xteink, another Chinese tech company. And I'm far from the only one—the Xteink subreddit is a busy place. The $69 Xteink X4 has a 4.3-inch screen and native software that's so bad, it wasn't really worth recommending until fans of the device cobbled together their own crowdsourced alternative. The $79 X3 (which is currently only available in the U.S. direct from Xteink) is l…

Robot mowers have improved dramatically over the years and are becoming a staple for the tech-obsessed with sizable yards. Instead of having to drop boundary wires around your property to prevent your robot from cutting a neighbor's yard, newer machines have advancements that allow for boundary setting with cameras and sensors. One of these newer mowers is the Eufy Robot Lawn Mower E15, and right now it's $949.99 (originally $2,299.99) after a 59% discount. This is the lowest price it has ever been, according to price-tracking tools. …
