This year’s Labor Day TV deals haven’t officially started, but you can already enjoy massive savings on the 55-inch Amazon Fire TV 4-Series 4K TV. From its original price of $520, a 33% discount slashes its price to a more affordable $350 in a limited-time offer from Amazon that may not last long. It was one of the retailer’s most popular bargains yesterday, so there’s a chance that the stocks that are up for sale are already running low. If you don’t want to miss out on the $170 in savings, you’re going to have to proceed with your purchase immediately.

As a TV, the 55-inch Amazon Fire TV 4-Series 4K TV comes with features that you would expect from most of today’s 4K TVs. With 4K Ultra HD resolution, you’ll be seeing sharp details and vibrant colors, and with support for various HDR formats, you’ll get even brighter and clearer images. The TV comes with four HDMI ports, including one HDMI eARC/ARC port, for connectivity with soundbars and other parts of your home theater setup, and it is also a standalone gaming hub through Amazon Luna or the Amazon Appstore.

That’s savings of $170 on a dependable and decent-sized 4K TV. However, TV deals like this almost always sell out quickly, and that’s likely the case with this bargain as the 55-inch Amazon Fire TV 4-Series 4K TV has been flying off the shelves. If you want to take advantage of this offer, you need to complete your transaction as soon as you can.

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.

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.
