Win a Flo detection system and catch leaks before they do damage

Water damage is more of a problem than you might think: The Insurance Information Institute reports that water damage costs American homeowners more than $9 billion per year and, perhaps most surprisingly, your home is five times more likely to suffer serious water damage than it is a fire or burglary. What’s more, the average water damage insurance claim costs more than $8,000 – making it something you clearly want to avoid ever having to deal with.

If you have smoke detectors and/or a security system, then it also makes sense to add water damage prevention measures to your home — and we’re giving one lucky reader a chance to score a brand-new Flo smart leak detection system. Once installed, the Flo system maps out and tracks the water flow in your home’s plumbing network, keeping tabs on anything out of the ordinary via daily active monitoring.

If a leak is detected, Flo pinpoints the source and alerts you, relaying the info right to your smartphone. This has allowed the Flo community to save more than 1 million gallons of water as of May 2018. Sixty percent of new Flo users immediately discover a leak they didn’t know they had. Flo can even predict leaks by noting changes in plumbing behavior, letting you catch problems before they happen, and can automatically shut off your water to prevent small leaks from becoming big ones.

If your home needs some leak protection, then enter below for a chance to win a Flo smart leak detection system – a $500 value – of your own:

Gigabyte Gaming Laptop Giveaway (Winner Selected)
GIGABYTE 16" Gaming Laptop Giveaway

I remember the days when a gaming laptop, or any laptop really, couldn't hold up against the power and performance of even a low-grade desktop PC. Not that I'm saying I'm older -- I'm middle-aged -- but there was definitely a time when laptops were not what you wanted to use for gaming unless you absolutely had to. That's no longer the case. Today, there are some incredibly powerful laptops that free you to play from just about anywhere, and that's not even including modern PC handhelds. A great example of this is the Gigabyte G6X 9KG gaming laptop which has a GeForce RTX 4060 and supports full ray tracing and Nvidia DLSS. It has enough power to run Black Myth: Wokung without issues and allow me to reiterate, that's possible on a laptop. Pretty impressive.

The best part, however, is that it won't drain your money. The Gigabyte G6X 9KG gaming laptop is only $1,300, but it also offers 32GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage. Better yet, it has user-upgradeable options, as well, so it's flexible and customizable. Today's your lucky day. You have the chance to win this beast directly from Gigabyte. To enter, all you have to do is follow the tasks provided. To do that, or if you want to learn more about this particular Gigabyte gaming laptop, head below.

GIGABYTE AORUS FO27Q3 Giveaway (Winner Selected)

Playing the latest titles on a beefy rig is only half the experience. You need a solid monitor to go with that, not just for high-resolution visuals, but to actually take advantage of high framerates. And when it comes to games like Black Myth Wukong, you're doing yourself a disservice by not playing on a capable monitor. One that we'd love to call out specifically is the GIGABYTE AORUS FO27Q3 gaming monitor, which is a QD OLED glossy panel that offers a 360Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms response time, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support, and Type-C for KVM.

While this monitor retails , and it's a great price as-is, we've teamed up with GIGABYTE to give it away to one lucky winner. That's right, you'll have your chance to win the GIGABYTE AORUS FO27Q3 for yourself. Just follow the instructions in the GLEAM widget below and you're in.
