If you’re in the market for a streaming device, you don’t have to wait for Prime Day 2025 to enjoy a discount on the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K. It’s already on sale at 50% off, so you’ll only have to pay $25 instead of its original price of $50. This is a limited-time offer though, so there’s a chance it will no longer be around when Amazon’s shopping event starts on July 8. If you want to make sure that you get it for half-price, you should go ahead with the purchase right now.

Why you should buy the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K

A streaming device will let you replace the operating system of your smart TV if you’re not impressed by it, or allow you to access streaming services on your non-smart TV. The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K gives you Amazon’s Fire TV platform, and it supports content in 4K Ultra HD resolution to maximize the sharpness of your 4K TV. The streaming stick also supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+ for impressive visuals, and Dolby Atmos for fantastic audio, for a cinematic experience in the comfort of your own living room.

The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K comes with the Alexa Voice Remote, which will let you use voice commands with Amazon’s Alexa for various functions such as finding content, adjusting playback, and controlling your other smart home devices. You’ll also be able to find movies and shows by actor, plot, and even quotes with the streaming stick’s AI-powered Fire TV Search.

Prime Day 2025 is still a couple of weeks away, but the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is already available with a 50% discount. From its sticker price of $50, it’s down to just $25, which is an excellent price for this streaming device. This limited-time offer may disappear at any moment, so we highly recommend moving forward with your transaction for it as soon as you can. Meanwhile, while waiting for your Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K to arrive, check out these streaming deals for discounts on subscriptions.

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.
