With plenty of security cameras to pick from, many (myself included) just want to get the most bang for their buck. Subscriptions confuse things, so something that’s cheap and quality is usually the top of the list. That’s exactly what the latest Blink Outdoor 4 camera offers. And while it may only be a month old, it’s already 50% off on Amazon. Right now, you can score the Blink Outdoor 4 security camera for $50 on Amazon US. That’s a huge 50% off the regular price of $100, which is unheard of for such a new device. Unfortunately, those in the UK…

LinkedIn is launching a new generative AI tool that allows users to find job listings by describing their perfect role. The platform’s updated AI-powered search bar now provides users with job posting results based on natural language descriptions, such as “find me entry-level brand manager roles in fashion,” and “jobs for analysts who love sustainability challenges.”The idea is to provide greater flexibility for people hunting for a new job compared to the restrictive search filters for location, industry, and role already available on LinkedIn. Rather than manually checking each vacancy to see if it matches their skills and interests, users…

Hot on the heels of the stealthy VCARB Black Bay Chronograph Carbon 25, Tudor has dropped something that couldn’t be more different: the new Pelagos FXD Chrono “Pink”. And yes, I’m completely into it. Created to celebrate Tudor’s role as Official Timekeeper of the Giro d’Italia, this limited-run chronograph is a tribute to one of cycling’s most punishing and iconic races. The Giro’s pink jersey – the Maglia Rosa – goes to the overall winner, and now Tudor’s paying homage with a bold, 300-piece-only release, decked out with pink accents and serious race pedigree. Let’s be honest, pro cycling isn’t…

On April 22nd, Fight Fight Fight LLC, a company with ties to President Donald Trump, announced that the 220 top investors in its meme coin $TRUMP would be invited to meet with Trump himself. The event was billed as an “intimate private” dinner, but with obvious hints that attendees were buying an elected official’s time. Around the date of the announcement, federal government officials reportedly registered three websites apparently related to the dinner: thetrilliondollarinner.gov, dinnerforamerica.gov, and thetrillion.gov. At least one, it was reported, temporarily directed to a Department of Commerce login portal, suggesting that the coin was somehow linked to…

Amazon has announced a new AI-infused warehouse robot that it says has a sense of touch. This allows the Vulcan robot to pick and stow roughly three-quarters of the items stocked in the company’s warehouses, a task that was previously handled predominantly by human workers.“Vulcan represents a fundamental leap forward in robotics,” says Aaron Parness, Amazon’s director of applied science, in a press release. “It’s not just seeing the world, it’s feeling it, enabling capabilities that were impossible for Amazon robots until now.”Vulcan is not Amazon’s first robot capable of picking items up, but it is the first that’s dextrous…

Not everyone wants to shove silicone blobs deep into their skull just to listen to music. That’s why open-ear buds have exploded in popularity recently and sit among the best wireless earbuds. And now Sennheiser wants in. The new Accentum Open buds are like affordable AirPods – offering the brand’s signature audio tuning without sitting inside your ear canal. They’re an open-ear alternative aimed at multitaskers and folks who’d quite like to still hear the train announcement before they miss their stop. And the best part? They’re actually affordable – which isn’t always the case with Sennheiser. With no fiddly…

The first photos of the Asus ROG Ally 2 have surfaced online thanks to regulatory listings, but with a twist: there are two versions of the gaming handheld, and one features a dedicated Xbox button.We reported two months ago that Microsoft was working with Asus to develop an Xbox-branded handheld codenamed “Project Kennan,” and this appears to be it. It’s a black version of the otherwise almost identical white ROG Ally 2, with a small button in the top-left corner bearing an engraved Xbox logo. That button is blacked out on the regular ROG, though will likely be replaced or…

The $350 million deal brings them under the same roof as JBL, Harman Kardon, Arcam, AKG, Mark Levinson, and Revel, which Samsung acquired back in 2016 with its $8 billion acquisition of Harman. The Masimo transaction is expected to close by the end of 2025, subject to regulatory approvals.“Finding the right home for this business has been a stated priority of the new Board from day one, and this transaction represents an important milestone,” said Masimo vice chairman Quentin Koffey. Masimo, you might recall, is the global medical technology company that launched a US patent infringement lawsuit against Apple over…

Minecraft’s official support for virtual reality and mixed reality devices is over. Mojang announced last year that Minecraft would stop supporting VR headsets after March 2025, and per today’s Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.21.80 Update patch notes, that support has been removed, as reported by PCWorld.When Mojang announced the end of support for VR in October, it said that you’ll still get updates on your PC, you’ll still be able to play without a VR / MR device, and that you’ll be able to continue building worlds or use any Marketplace purchases. At the time, Mojang’s reasoning for removing support was…

The government’s proposal to make Google share its search data with competitors would “deeply undermine user trust” by putting queries in the hands of potentially less secure rivals, the company’s search chief Elizabeth Reid testified Tuesday.The Justice Department has proposed forcing Google to syndicate its ranking signals and other search data to competitors, something it says will level the playing field and end Google’s search monopoly. But Reid argued that exporting that data would shake users’ faith that their searches would stay private, and its value would create an incentive for hackers to go after small competitors. “Once it’s turned…
