Early Prime Day Deal: Amazon slashes the price on these Fire TV devices and more

Add as a preferred source on Google

Amazon has been at the forefront of streaming hardware (and software) for as long as we can remember, churning out affordable cord-cutting devices, like the Fire TV Cube, Fire TV Recast, Fire TV Stick 4K, and Toshiba Fire TV Edition — all of which are now on sale through the retailer’s website for their lowest prices ever. Last year Amazon Prime Day price for the Fire TV Cube was down to $90 and right now Amazon is slashing the price to $10 less, its lowest price yet. Check out all the deals below.

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K — $40

Out of the four products on offer, the Fire TV Stick 4K is the best of the bunch, creating a portal to a host of streaming services, including Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and Netflix, for $40. That’s a total savings of $10, which may not seem like much, but when compared to the $50 price tag, it’s a considerable 20% off.

What’s more, the remote control bundled in the box is armed with a microphone that can be used to communicate with Alexa, Amazon’s voice assistant. It’s capable of not only controlling the Fire TV Stick 4K itself, but also other devices connected to your Amazon account, such as a Nest Learning Thermostat or a Roomba.

Amazon Fire TV Cube — $80

The other products on the list, namely the Fire TV Cube and Fire TV Recast, take that basic streaming experience and fuse it with a couple of additional features. In the case of the former, which is on sale for $80 rather than the usual $120, that’s an integrated speaker that lets it moonlight as an Amazon Echo when it’s not in use.

Amazon Fire TV Recast — $230

The Fire TV Recast is interesting. It’s designed to be used alongside a Fire TV Stick 4K or Fire TV Cube and an HD antenna, adding the option to watch and record live TV through the likes of ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, and PBS, with enough storage space on board to store 75 hours of HD programming.

But how much will that set you back? Well, the Fire TV Recast can be had for $230, down from the standard $280. Factor in you’ll need to fuse it with a Fire TV Stick 4K and an HD antenna (our favorite is the Mohu Releaf , which retails for $30), and you’re looking at a total of $240 — around $60 less than normal.

Toshiba Fire TV Edition — $350

Last, but not least, we have the Toshiba Fire TV Edition — a souped-up 55-inch Toshiba 4K TV that’s been torn apart and integrated with a Fire TV Stick 4K to offer instant access to a plethora of streaming platforms, as well as Amazon Alexa. This exact model would ordinarily set you back $450, but it’s on sale for $350.

Best of all, you don’t need to be an Amazon Prime subscribe to bag a bargain — they’re available for everyone.

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.
