If you have any old records lying around, you’ll be happy to know Amazon has slashed the price of the Victrola Vintage 3-Speed Record Player in a rare discount as part of its early Prime Day deals! Normally $60, it’s now 10% off for a total of $54. That’s a great price for a vintage-style player with modern amenities like Bluetooth and built-in speakers, and is easily the best Vicotrola record player Prime Day deal we’ll see this year.

If you don’t want to go through the hassle of converting your vinyls to a digital format, but still want to be able to take them with you anywhere, the Victrola Vintage 3-Speed Record Player is the way to go. The entire system is packaged inside a portable hard-sided luggage-style case, which includes built-in speakers. Controls include speed selection, a volume knob, source audio volume, and an auto and manual stop switch. When you’re ready to listen to some jams, all you have to do is unlock and open the case, place your record on the turntable, and fire it up.

Inside is a three-speed belt-driven turntable, capable of 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPMs. It even has Bluetooth wireless connectivity so you can stream audio from your smartphone — tapping into services like Spotify, Pandora, and Amazon Music. A line input ensures you can connect other players that don’t have Bluetooth. If you want to connect some louder speakers, it has an RCA output too, as well as a headphone jack.

The Victrola Vintage record player is available in a wide variety of colors, but Amazon is currently offering the all-black model (VSC-550BT-BK) for $54, which is $6 off the full price of $60. Prime members get free shipping and free returns if there are any problems.

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.

Google TV applications on the Sony A95K TV.

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.
