Amazing Deal — Hisense

Nothing says “home for the holidays” like a massive QLED TV mounted to your living room wall. Throw in a soundbar and a 4K Blu-ray player (yes they still make those) and you’ve got yourself a complete home theater system. But you don’t want to purchase just any TV for your media room, because a big TV with lackluster specs is going to look plain cruddy. That’s why we’re bringing the following Hisense offer to your attention:

Right now, when you purchase the Hisense 100-inch U76N QLED, you’ll only pay $2,000. On paper, that’s still a healthy chunk of change to part ways with, but at full price, this model sells for $3,000. That $1,000 you saved can be invested in one of the best soundbar deals of the week, or maybe you’ve got a rainy day fund that could use a nice deposit.

Why you should buy the Hisense 100-inch U76N QLED

One of the main reasons we recommend this TV is its phenomenal picture quality and 4K upscaling. Thanks to full array local dimming and Hisense’s Peak Brightness 1000 technology, this monolith of a TV is able to deliver a wide color gamut, excellent contrast levels, and unbelievable brightness. Whether you’re watching or playing HDR or SDR content, the U76N optimizes every frame to ensure you’re getting the best picture possible at all times.

Delivering up to a 144Hz refresh rate, this Hisense set is engineered for top-notch gaming, too. Features like AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and Dolby Vision gaming ensure all your PS5 or Xbox Series X sessions have little to no input lag and lightning-fast response times, and VRR and ALLM support automatically switches the U76N over to the Game Mode Pro preset when a console is detected. You’ll also be able to access streaming apps like Netflix and Disney+, along with numerous free live-streaming TV channels with the Hisense’s Google TV platform.

Here’s hoping this 100-inch marvel stays on sale for a long time. Like many other Best Buy deals and Amazon deals, though, this massive markdown could be gone tomorrow. So if you’re interested, we recommend hopping on the train ASAP! Save $1,000 on the Hisense 100-inch U76N QLED when you order today, and definitely take a gander at our roundup of the best QLED TV deals, too!

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.
