Tozo T10 Wireless Earbuds

$19$40Save $21
These Tozo earbuds pack a lot of punch in a small package — they're nearly waterproof and feature one-stop pairing and 8mm drivers.
$19 at Amazon

The Tozo T10s are one of the most popular earbud options out there. Not only are they incredibly affordable, but they have great sound quality. A single charge nets you 10 hours of playback time (with a total of 45 hours with the case), and you can even swim with these for a short period.

One customer said they actually preferred these to AirPods: "For me, these are superb sound quality. Bass and clarity is excellent. I run, HIIT, PT with these every day. I like that they aren't completely noise-cancelling, as I run and bike with them. The wind does not interfere with sound quality and I can still hear cars if I don't have them all the way turned up."

We're in the middle of March Madness, which makes it the perfect time to snatch up a new TV so you can see those half-court shots even better. This 65-inch beauty from Sony has 4K resolution, a crystal clear display and supports image-enhancing features like HDR and Dolby Vision. Better yet? It's nearly one-third off right now.

"This is our second Sony Bravia television and we are very pleased with it. Definitely the way to go for price and quality. It didn't take very long to get this TV set up — incredible picture and ease of use! Sounds great as well. Definitely would recommend," one five-star reviewer said.

Apple Watch Series 8 Smart Watch

$359$429Save $70
The Series 8 is the latest and greatest Apple Watch on the market, with more amazing features that you can shake your wrist at.
$359 at Amazon

The Apple Watch Series 8 is one of the best wearables we've ever seen — period. Apple has used the previous generations to refine their watch into something truly noteworthy, with accurate tracking features, a huge range of workouts to choose from, and enhanced safety features like Fall and Crash Detection. Sure, you'll pay a premium — but it being $70 off right now makes it awfully tempting, eh?

"The Apple Watch Series 8 is an all-around great smartwatch, especially if you are involved in the Apple ecosystem. It has solid battery life, easily making it through a full day off one charge. The apps available are quite convenient and make you feel much less of a need to pull out your phone constantly throughout the day. I initially did not think much of the car-crash safety feature, but I've got to admit there is something comforting about knowing your watch can act as a life alert help signal in the event of a car crash," one user said. "Hopefully I never need to rely on that feature, but it is comforting to know it is there. The health features like the blood oxygen monitor are also quite useful."

Amazon

Echo Show 8

$75$130Save $55
This bedside-friendly Echo Show can help you start your day off right with a weather report, news and much more.
$75 at Amazon

The Echo Show 8 is a fantastic device for helping you get ready in the morning, or for a bit of extra assistance in the kitchen. Not only can it provide a news brief, play your favorite music or even stream from a variety of platforms, but it can even display recipes. The sound quality is impressive for such a small device. If you're already an Alexa user, adding an Echo Show 8 to your home is an easy way to expand functionality.

"This is the most amazing Alexa you can get. The speaker in this thing is amazing. I play music through the whole place and it sounds wonderful. I play my videos on the screen, including YouTube," said one ecstatic fan. "It rotates your family pictures on the screen when not in use. Best purchase of the year!"

Amazon

Sgin 15.6-Inch Laptop

$260$1,050Save $790
With 128GB of onboard storage and a 2.8GHz processor, this everyday laptop is perfect for email and entertainment.
$260 at Amazon

This laptop from Sgin is a whopping 75% off, making it one of the absolute best deals we've seen today. This machine falls somewhere between a work-focused computer and a Chromebook; while you can get plenty of work done on it, it's better suited for day-to-day use like checking email, playing games or browsing social media.

"This laptop is perfect for everyday use. It’s lightweight, easy to use and responsive to touch. Would recommend to anyone," one user said.

If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)

  • Will AI Take Your Job? How Artificial Intelligence is Shaping the Future of Work

    Generative AI, augmented intelligence, machine learning- these topics have dominated the conversation around tech in 2023, and by now we’ve all heard the rumors: AI is coming for your job, it will take your family, and it will eat the food off your dinner plate, but is there any truth behind this? To find out more, we went to the ground floor of the new tech sector, where technology meets culture, and the South meets the Southwest. Webster’s dictionary defines AI as “the simulation of human behavior in computers”. Sounds harmless right? But with the exploding popularity of generative chat bots like ChatGPT, many people are reexamining where they stand on the technological food chain. Ian Beacraft is one of the leading voices in deep tech and AI. His company, Signal and Cipher, teaches large companies how to adapt to new technology. “Generative ai is here. it's in everyone's palms and it's not going anywhere,” says Ian, telling Yahoo Finance that we’ve only scratched the surface of what AI can do. “We are at the very beginning of one of the biggest revolutions in knowledge work in human history and a lot of people look at this as a large step change in the way that we do our work… what we're doing is we are digitizing skills the same way that we mechanized physical labor in the industrial revolution… we're doing things at a scale, at a volume, and at a breadth that human minds aren't really capable of.” So, will the rise of AI lead to job losses? And if so, why should we embrace this technology? We met with Garry Kasparov, the former chess Grandmaster, famous for his series of chess matches against the 1980’s supercomputer, “Deep Blue”. “Every new technology in the past has threatened jobs, actually destroyed jobs, destroyed industry before creating new opportunities,” Kasparov told us. “AI is not the exception. Machines made us stronger in the past, made us faster in the past… so, many jobs we are doing today, in my view, are like zombie jobs. They're already dead. They just don't know yet.” So far, our experts have not painted a particularly rosy picture for the future of mankind, so we went directly to the source. You know what they say- keep your enemies close. According to ChatGPT, “Artificial intelligence has the potential to greatly impact the future of humanity in both positive and negative ways. On the positive side, AI has the potential to improve many aspects of our lives, such as healthcare, education, and transportation.” That doesn’t sound too bad, but it goes on: “One major concern is that as AI systems become more advanced, they may become difficult to control, potentially leading to unintended consequences or even catastrophic outcomes.” Therein lies the concern, and why many in the tech industry are approaching AI with a good deal of caution. “People are getting freaked out. They’re saying ‘Hey, what is this thing? Can we trust it?’” “I see both sides of the argument. and, you know, in some ways, there is a lot of opportunity, but on the other hand, we also have to be careful, just like with any technology,” says Pulkit Agrawal, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at MIT. Instead of thinking of AI as a replacement for human beings, according to Pulkit, we should think of AI as a tool. Like the invention of the PC, artificial intelligence may actually improve our work and make humans more efficient in performing our day-to-day tasks. “If an AI system can look at CT scans, and make a diagnosis, is it going to replace a doctor or not? I would say no. I think the right way to implement the system is to make the system be an advisor to a doctor, because this AI system has looked at more CT scans than any doctor could have looked in his life,” Pulkit says. While the possibilities for AI may seem limitless, it could be the key to unlocking the potential of the human brain.

  • Russians reluctantly embrace Chinese cars after Western brands depart

    As the exodus of Western carmakers narrows options for Russian consumers, Chinese automakers are filling the gap, forcing Russians to overcome their reluctance to embrace Chinese brands and stomach higher prices. Chinese brands such as Haval, Chery and Geely now account for almost 40% of Russia's new car sales, data from analytical agency Autostat and consulting company PPK showed, up from less than 10% in January-February of 2022, pouncing on the opportunity left by the exit of firms such as Renault, Nissan and Mercedes. Reuters spoke to several Russian car buyers - individuals and dealerships - who perceived the quality of some Chinese cars to be lower than Western rivals and industry experts said Chinese manufacturers needed to enhance their reputation even as their market share soars.

  • What is North Korea's undersea nuclear drone?

    STORY: North Korea says it has successfully tested a nuclear-capable undersea attack drone, designed to create massive radioactive waves when detonated below the surface, hitting fleets of enemy ships or coastal areas.It's dubbed the "Haeil," or tsunami in Korean. These images from North Korea's state-run media show leader Kim Jong Un standing next to a large torpedo-like object, which it didn't identify, and the object exploding underwater. But how capable could such a weapon be?Kim Dong Yub is with the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul, South Korea."The distance makes it capable of attacking almost any port in South Korea where the U.S. army is located even if it is launched from any port in North Korea. But it’s not just that. The North said it could be carried by ships. If it’s carried by a ship camouflaged as a merchant ship, it can hit Japan’s Yokosuka port, where the U.S. army is at or even further, like Guam, which is very worrisome.”“It’s conventional, but it’s very hard to detect. Also, it is highly likely not to make big noises. North Korea had planned this 11 years ago and conducted secret tests for about 50 times over two years.""I would say the weapon system should be pretty solid.”North Korea made the announcement as South Korea and the U.S. conducted joint military drills in the region.The North says it did not use a nuclear payload in the drone test and a U.S. official, speaking anonymously to Reuters, said there was no indication of one.It's not clear if North Korea has fully developed the kind of miniaturized nuclear warhead needed to fit its smaller weapons.Regardless, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the Washington D.C. think tank, has said the concept of the Haeil is similar to Russia's Poseidon nuclear torpedo, which both American and Russian officials have described as an emerging class of weapon that can render coastal cities uninhabitable.And, according to the think tank, the Haeil demonstrates that Pyongyang wants to show off an increasingly diverse range of nuclear threats to its enemies.A South Korean military official said they were analyzing the North's claims.
