With one more month to go before the summer ends, there is no better time than now to score either of the two speakers along with their booming price cuts of up to 52%.

If you have a couple more bucks to spare, then the UE MegaBoom 3 is a notable upgrade you might want to consider as we gave it a score of 9 out of 10. Aside from being dustproof and waterproof with an IP67 rating, it can live through a 3-feet drop. Moreover, you can expect the MegaBoom 3 to simply go with the flow as it stays buoyantly afloat in water even while blasting a clear thundering bass in every direction.

Never hesitate to take the party to even greater extents, as the portable Bluetooth speaker gives fun-sized a snazzier tune. The MegaBoom 3 has the capacity to pair with not just one or two generations of Boom or MegaBoom, but more like 150 with the PartyUp feature in-app for a truly augmented sound experience.

Keeping up with the momentum is the speaker’s 20-hour battery life and the all-new magic button that allows you to play, pause, and skip with just one touch. Normally priced at $200, performance meets style at a discounted price of $170 with Amazon’s 15% markdown.

Stop joining group projects with a blurry laptop webcam and buy one of these instead
Your laptop webcam is sabotaging your first impression. These five can fix it
I'm holding my Logitech C920 1080p webcam in my hands.

The webcam built into your laptop might be good enough for a quick call with friends and family. But its shortcomings become much harder to ignore when you are presenting a semester project, interviewing for an internship, or maybe if you're planning to stream for fun.

Laptop cameras also tend to sit far too low, especially when the computer is placed directly on a desk. Meanwhile, a dedicated webcam lets you position the camera closer to eye level. This improves the framing and brings larger sensors, better microphones, and more effective low-light processing.

I desperately want a new classic Walkman, but Sony probably can’t give me one
Tech minimalism is begging for a new Walkman. Though rebuilding it may be close to impossible
Sony Walkman WM2011

Every few months, another piece of tech that seems obsolete crawls out of a drawer and becomes cool again. The age of minimalism has revived the popularity of iPods among younger buyers. Dumbphones have become an escape hatch from endless notifications. Similarly, digital cameras are dangling from bags again. Physical media keeps attracting people who want something they can actually hold instead of another frustrating subscription.

All of this makes it the perfect time for Sony to bring back the classic Walkman, which was a phenomenon during the 80s and 90s. I would love one. Give me a compact cassette player, physical buttons, and wired headphones. Keep the apps, notifications, and algorithms that shape your taste of music. No more AI assistants or personalzied feeds, just you and your Walkman. There is only one problem though. Recreating the Walkman that people love and remember, would be far harder than putting an old design back into production.

Proton reveals how smart TVs track you and the escape situation is pretty grim 
Modern smart TVs fingerprint your screen content at the chipset level.
Google TV applications on the Sony A95K TV.

Your smart TV may know far more about your viewing habits than you realize, even if you rarely use its smart features. In a new privacy explainer, Proton warns that many modern TVs quietly collect data about everything displayed on the screen and share it with manufacturers, advertisers, and analytics companies.

The worrying part is that escaping this tracking is becoming increasingly difficult because many privacy controls are buried deep in settings or enabled by default. Proton argues that buying a smart TV today often means accepting a level of surveillance that most people never knowingly signed up for.
