    These Are the Best Laptop Deals From the October Prime Day Sale (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    There's good news and bad news when it comes to laptop deals ahead of Amazon's October Prime Day sale. The good news: You'll find no shortage of discounts on these devices right now. The bad news? Most of those deals aren't worth your time. While you might see some massive price cuts on laptops, either the brand isn't reputable, or the machine is actually pretty old. Sure, it may technically be 40% off the original price, but that doesn't mean much when the original retail price is from five yea

    These Are the Best Deals on Apple Products From the October Prime Day Sale (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Not only are AI agents all the rage in the tech world, but they're becoming more mainstream by the week. Apple recently upgraded iOS and macOS with Siri AI, while earlier this month, Meta also launched "Muse," an agent that can perform tasks on your behalf—and potentially expose your private information. Now, it's OpenAI's turn to launch an AI agent, but its take on the trend is a bit different, and less accessible, at least at launch. The company is calling it "Dots." "Dots" isn't a single AI a

    If you're having trouble getting your Spotify playlists up and running this morning, you're not alone. The music streaming platform is currently down for tens of thousands of users, at least.
