Believe it or not, October Prime Day is actually a good time to save on Dyson devices. Plenty of cordless vacuums are on sale this year, as well as a few viral hair stylers . But, none of those top my trusty AM09. Dysons Hot+Cool AM09 heater and fan is on sale for $300 right now thats 40 percent off and one of the best prices Ive seen. My love for the AM09 is well documented . At this point, Ive had it for more than five years and I bought it when it was $280 on super-sale at QVC. Previously, I

Sennheiser hasnt debuted a premium set of wireless headphones since the Momentum 4 arrived in 2022. Sure, there were two sets of Accentum cans, but those offer more mid-range performance in the $180-$250 range. Instead of a Momentum 5 for its latest release, the company has revealed the HDB 630: a $500 set of wireless noise-canceling headphones that offer lossless listening via wired connection. If youre thinking the HDB 630 looks an awful lot like the Momentum 4, youre correct. Sennheiser says

Tesla has been promising less expensive versions of its electric vehicles for several months, and today the company introduced two 'standard' models. The Standard Model 3 sedan will retail starting at $36,990 and the Standard Model Y SUV will start at $39,990. While these price tags make Tesla EVs available for less than $40,000, the cost is still not down to the $35,000 level that the company once briefly had for the Model 3. Although the price tags seem lower, the US ended its federal tax ince

Its time for another October Prime Day sale , and that means Amazon is selling a number of well-regarded TVs for lower prices than usual. Not every deal is exclusive to the event, and its still possible that these sets drop even further as we approach Black Friday.

Weve rounded up all the best October Prime Day TV deals weve seen thus far below, along with a few discount

Fast chargers have become essential as phones, tablets and even laptops demand more power to keep up with daily use. Many new devices no longer include a charger in the box, so finding the best fast charger for you is important if you want reliable speed without damaging your battery.

Mastodon, the federated social network built on ActivityPub, is taking cues from Bluesky and introducing its own version of the social platform's Starter Packs. The hope is that Mastodon's Packs will make it easier to find people to follow when you first join a server, a sometimes daunting task given the distributed nature of decentralized social networks. In comparison to Starter Packs, which let Bluesky users curate a list of accounts that you can follow in one foul swoop, Packs will come with

Meta is rolling out some serious changes to Facebook Reels to make the experience more like Instagram Reels. First of all, the Reels will now be accompanied by friend bubbles.

Instagram does something similar and also lets users send Reels as direct messages. Meta The recommendations engine is also getting a refresh, with Meta claiming that it learns your interests qu

Steam went down on Tuesday. Steamstat.us indicated earlier that the Steam Store, Steam Community and Web API were all down. But it's been all systems go for the better part of the past hour. Engadget staffers' experience matches that. Earlier, when trying to access the Steam Store on Steam Deck and in the mobile app, only the UI loaded as an empty wrapper. Now everything appears to be loading normally. At the peak of the outage, Steamstat.us showed over 1.5 million page views in the previous hou

It may lack some of the bells and whistles of its more expensive cousins, but it still gets the job done . It's

California has passed a law to ban loud commercials on streaming platforms like Netflix and Hulu. This is great news for people who don't want to wake the neighborhood up when a streaming show suddenly turns into an aggressively loud ad for migraine medication. Governor Gavin Newsom just signed the law and the ban goes into effect on July 1, 2026. On that date, streaming services won't be allowed to transmit the audio of commercial advertisements louder than the video content the advertisements

The sequel to 2022s surprisingly engaging first-person clean-em-up, PowerWash Simulator , finally arrives on October 23.If you enjoyed the first game (along with the other 17 million people it got its hooks into), it looks like youre in for even more shockingly dirty locations on which you can unleash your trusty power washer.

The Google Pixel 9a is our top pick for the best midrange phone on the market right now. It's a great value at $499, but when it's $150 off like it is for Amazon Prime Day , you'll be hard-pressed to find a better smartphone in this price range. You can pick it up for only $349 during the sale, or step up to either the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro , which both are on sale for the first time. The Pixel 9a may lack the cutting-edge sizzle of ultra-premium phones that cost triple what you'll pay here.

New gear can make cooking easier (and sometimes more fun) but the best kitchen tech isnt cheap. Thats why its a good idea to wait for a sale like Amazon's Prime Day . At Engadget, weve tested plenty of kitchen gear (and have opinions to accompany said testing) so we searched for discounts on what we actually recommend. We found deals on some of our preferred brands like air fryers from Breville, Instant Pot cookers, sous vide machines and even a Ninja ice cream maker. Weve linked to our testing

Microsoft may have made the unfortunate decision to raise the price of a Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription to $30 a month, but you don't have to live by the company's rules at least not yet. Most online retailers are still selling codes for prepaid Game Pass subscriptions at the original $20 a month price. That means you can pay $60 for three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate , stack your codes and keep your subscription without having to downgrade or cancel. As the highest tier in Game Pass

OpenAI has disclosed that a now-banned account originating in China was using ChatGPT to help design promotional materials and project plans for a social media listening tool.

Its been nearly four years since Vampire Survivors debuted in early access and developer Poncle is still adding new features to the hit game.

Most of what Nintendo uploads to its Nintendo Today app is fairly predictable; think a screenshot or trailer for an upcoming game or the latest soundtrack being agonisingly drip-fed onto Nintendo Music . But todays surprise drop is more mysterious than usual. If you opened up the app this morning, youll have been met with a decidedly Pixar-like animated short, with virtually no context. Titled Close to you, the almost four-minute video focuses on a baby playing with what appears to be an enchant

It may lack some of the bells and whistles of its more expensive cousins, but it still gets the job done .

The unfortunate reality of living in a world that's largely abandoned headphone jacks is that you have to own a pair of wireless earbuds to listen to things on your phone. Accepting that, you might as well own a good pair of earbuds, and if you're on Android, Google's wireless earbuds are one of your best options . You can purchase a pair of Google's Pixel Buds Pro 2 for $170 for Prime Day , $60 less than its normal $230 price. That's a pretty great deal for a pair of wireless earbuds that rival

The battle for overall wireless headphone supremacy is fiercely contested every year, but when it comes to banishing undesirable noise, Bose usually comes out on top.

And right now, the very same headphones are $100 off for Prime Day at $329. Note that this deal applies to the previous generation QuietComfort Ultra, rat

Google has failed to convince the Supreme Court to block the injunction requiring the company to make major changes to the Play Store after it lost its case with Epic Games. The Verge and Reuters have reported that the Supreme Court has denied the company's request for a partial stay on the injunction while it prepares to appeal. In a tweet, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney said that developers will be legally entitled to steer US Google Play users to out-of-app payments without fees, scare screens and fric

If you prefer open-ear AirPods but still have an older model, this deal could be worth noting. Amazon's October Prime Day has the AirPods 4 on sale for $90, or 30 percent off their usual price. That's also the lowest we've seen them. When Apple updated its standard AirPods in 2024, it released two models: one with active noise cancellation (ANC) and one without.
