Many of the best monitors you can buy today are from Samsung. Many are pricey models like the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9, one of the brand’s premiere ultrawide models. Luckily, when you can find Samsung monitor deals, the price differentials are typically quite steep. Just take this deal on a 27-inch Samsung ViewFinity S8 monitor as a prime example of this power. This deal takes just over half of the monitor’s price away instantly. Typically $450, the monitor is now just $220, a discount of $230. Just tap the button below to grab it, or keep reading for our take.

Why you should buy a Samsung ViewFinity S8

The Samsung ViewFinity S8 has a ton of specs and features that you’ll certainly enjoy for an absolutely incredible deal price. For starters, it’s a 4K monitor from a reliable brand, not some generic offering. It also has USB-C connectivity, which is super convenient for connecting to everything from your laptop to your phone in a way that HDMI is decisively not. If you do decide to plug your phone into it, you can also rotate it to give that great vertical view you’re used to on your phone. The ViewFinity S8 also has HDR10, a 60Hz refresh rate, an eye saver mode that reduces blue levels and a flicker-free screen, and eco-friendly power modes that reduce power output by up to 10% without significantly changing screen’s look and picture quality.

At this discounted price, this becomes a great monitor for someone looking to upgrade to 4K but has a fixed budget. If you’re running a work from home laptop setup, you’ll almost certainly appreciate the ability to throw images up on the big screen, even if you aren’t able to get the full 4K experience.

Samsung’s 27-inch ViewFinity S8 is down to $220 right now, a savings of $230 off of its usual $450 price point. To get it, all you need to do is tap the button below. If this isn’t the monitor for you, check out these other monitor deals for a wider selection.

AI companies may be gobbling up old books, and I really hope they aren’t destroying them
Booksellers are seeing mysterious bulk orders for old books, and some suspect AI companies
Book, Publication, Text

Secondhand booksellers have noticed a curious pattern over the past few months. Large orders are coming in for old books that often share no obvious subject, author, or genre, leaving sellers wondering who wants them and why.

According to The Guardian, booksellers in the U.K. and Ireland have received bulk orders covering everything from agricultural texts to racing biographies. Some buyers reportedly use opaque aliases, send orders to the same freight warehouses, and pay full price without negotiating bulk discounts. Similar activity has also surfaced in the U.S., Australia, and Europe.

Claude is getting ambitious with watermarking, and I can smell the problems from a mile away
Claude’s text watermark could flag AI involvement even when it only helped with translation or editing
Claude website open on laptop

Anthropic wants to make AI-generated text easier to identify, and on paper, I have very little reason to complain. The company is experimenting with an invisible watermark that can be baked directly into text generated by Claude.

It sounds like a sensible idea. AI-generated text is everywhere, and knowing where something came from could certainly help. Moreover, Anthropic isn't simply hiding a marker somewhere inside a document. Its approach changes how Claude selects words to create a statistical pattern that can later be detected.

I switched from Windows to Mac after 25 years, and it’s the trackpad that converted me.
Well, that rhymes.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

I’ve been using Windows laptops for almost 25 years. In that time, I never once seriously thought of buying a MacBook. In fact, I can honestly say I had never used one at all until I bought my MacBook Air M5 six months ago. Never borrowed one for a weekend, spent an afternoon at an Apple Store, or even played with one at a friend's house. Macs, to me, were just expensive computers for those who edited videos, made logos, or liked drinking expensive coffee.

My change came completely by accident.
