For those who love listening to music while working out, the Beats Powerbeats Pro are an excellent companion. If you’ve been waiting for them to appear in true wireless earbuds deals with a discount, here’s your chance because they’re $40 off from Best Buy. From their original price of $200, they’re down to a more affordable $160. You’re going to have to proceed with the purchase as soon as possible though, as the offer for these wireless earbuds may expire at any moment.

Why you should buy the Beats Powerbeats Pro

When going through any type of physical activity while wearing wireless earbuds, one of the main concerns is that they could fall out. This won’t be a problem with the Beats Powerbeats Pro, which feature adjustable, secure-fit earhooks that will make sure that they stay in place without sacrificing comfort. The wireless earbuds also feature a reinforced design that provides water resistance, so they won’t get damaged by sweaty workouts in the gym or sudden rainfall when you’re out for a jog.

The Beats Powerbeats Pro promise powerful and balanced sound, enhanced clarity, and improved dynamic range, so that you can fully enjoy your favorite tracks. There are full volume and track controls on each earbud so you can make adjustments with either hand, and there are optical sensors and motion accelerometers to detect when they’re in your ears to automatically begin playback. The Beats Powerbeats Pro can last up to nine hours on a single charge, and with their charging case, total battery life can reach more than 24 hours before you need to plug them in for a recharge.

Enjoy your favorite tunes while going through your daily exercise routines with the Beats Powerbeats Pro, which are available from Best Buy with a $40 discount. This brings the price of the wireless earbuds down to just $160, from $200 originally, but we don’t think this offer will last long. With the popularity of the Beats brand, we expect this bargain to attract a lot of attention. The stocks that are earmarked for this sale may be gone as soon as tomorrow, so complete your purchase for the Beats Powerbeats Pro immediately. The longer you wait, the higher the risk of missing out on the savings.

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.

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.

LG is cracking down on smart TV apps that quietly turn your TV into a secret proxy

LG OLED Settings

If you own an LG smart TV, there's a chance one of your harmless-looking apps has been moonlighting as an internet relay for someone else's traffic. According to a report from KrebsOnSecurity, LG says it's finally stepping in to stop this menace. This week, the company confirmed it plans to suspend any webOS app that turns a TV into what's called a residential proxy node.

The move follows a report from security firm Spur, which found that more than 42 percent of apps on LG's webOS store include SDKs that quietly reroute internet traffic through your TV, indefinitely. Samsung isn't spared either, with over a quarter of Tizen apps carrying similar code.
