If you grew up in the 90s with a beige Windows PC, there’s a good chance you spent hours staring at a very specific pair of speakers. The Harman/Kardon HK195 speakers were ubiquitous in the early internet era, and artist @gwakproductions has brought them back in a massive way—literally.

There are many helpful sensors for your smart home, from humidity sensors to door and window sensors. But there's one sensor in particular that sounds a little crazy, but can actually be incredibly useful.

Amazon is now rolling out its upgraded Alexa virtual assistant to everyone in the United States. A free chat interface is available, but for full functionality, you need an Amazon Prime membership or Alexa+ subscription.

OneNote is a well-designed note-taking application, but after trusting my data to Microsoft and Google for years, I've decided to try and reclaim some privacy. This is how I switched to a privacy-focused, self-hosted note-taking app.

Ready to ditch Windows and move to Linux? Has your research led you to Linux Mint and Zorin OS, leaving you unsure which one to choose? Well, here’s a quick overview of their core differences so you can pick the one that best suits your needs and workflow.

If you're using a Google TV device, you might notice from time to time that your shows and movies tend to buffer a lot. That's when the program stops and starts as it waits for more data.

Are you still hanging on to an old Samsung Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, or the big Galaxy S21 Ultra? If so, it's finally time to let go, move on, and replace it with something newer. In a move that shouldn't come as a surprise, Samsung has officially discontinued software support for these phones, and they won't receive new updates or security patches moving forward.

After weeks of rumors and speculation, it's official: There's a Nintendo Direct livestream this week.

The Mario maker announced on social media channels on Wednesday morning that a Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase stream will take place 24 hours after the announcement, at 6am PT/9am ET on Thursday, Feb. 5. You can watch the showcase live on Nintendo's YouTube channel. According to the company, it will be about 30 minutes long and will focus on games for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.

As for what to expect from the stream, Nintendo is usually pretty tight-lipped about those sorts of things ahead of time. However, the words "Partner Showcase" give us a hint. Like previous Nintendo Direct Partner Showcases, I would expect this one to focus almost entirely on third-party games rather than anything made internally at Nintendo. You might think that makes this Direct less exciting, but previous Partner Showcases have delivered the goods in the past. Just last year, Octopath Traveler 0 made its debut during one, and ended up being one of the best games of 2025, for example.

Even with the news that the Switch is the most successful Nintendo console ever this week, the company isn't stopping anytime soon.

The Amzmerit scale uses eight high-sensitivity electrodes to track 45 key health indicators, including weight, body fat, muscle mass, BMI, and bone mass. That data syncs with the A&P Health app, which is compatible with AppIe Health, Google Fit, and more. With historical body data and detailed charts, the app helps you track long-term metrics and get a glimpse at the bigger picture rather than focusing on daily fluctuations. You can even add data profiles for family members, including babies and pets.

Unlock the behind-the-scenes data of your health and fitness journey with the Amzmerit smart scale.

This might not be the best season the U.S. has ever seen when it comes to snow sports, but there's still plenty of fun to be had out there. Snow-sport season is also a pretty spectacular time to become an expert drone pilot. Imagine the drone footage you could be sharing with friends, family who couldn't join in, or on your social channels. If you've been considering getting an all-in-one drone package, there's a great deal in store at Amazon.

As of Feb. 4, the DJI Mini 5 Pro Fly More Combo is down to a record-low price at Amazon of $1,099. This is a 31% discount off the standard price of $1,599 which works out to a savings of $500.

Don't let the "pro" name psych you out. The DJI Mini 5 Pro drone is awesome for both beginners and advanced drone pilots, but it will give you instant access to pro-level video footage. This combo package features everything you could want for a drone including the DJI Mini 5 Pro drone itself, the DJI RC 2, and three DJI Intelligent Flight batteries for up to 52 minutes of flight time. Plus, tons of extra accessories like a carrying case.

SEE ALSO: In-stock alert: Amazon has the DJI Mini 3 drone in stock and on sale for under $440

The DJI Mini 5 Pro drone is packed with features that make for great footage like a timelapse function, free panorama, 4K/120fps slow-motion video, as well as true vertical filming. The vertical filming as well as the ActiveTrack 360° is a must-have if you'll be filming sports subjects like skiers, snowboarders, or cyclists.

In case you haven't kept up on drone news in the U.S., DJI faced an FCC ban just last December, and it's no longer possible for DJI to sell drones in the country. However, this new legislation does not apply to stock that was already in the U.S. at the time. That means stock of DJI drones is diminishing by the day, so this deal is a great opportunity to snag a pro model that comes with great accessories.

If you could use an upgraded drone or want to get your first model, today's record-low price on the DJI Mini 5 Pro Fly More Combo could be the best opportunity to snag this model. We might not see stock last much longer.

The AI community is going nuts for the OpenClaw AI Assistant. It's an exceptionally easy-to-use AI agent and once installed can be used right away. Plus, once you start running the tool, your AI agent can join the now viral Moltbook. Moltbook is sort of like Reddit but rather than humans posting, it's only AI agents, which has sparked online debate if these AI agents are showing signs of sentience. Spoiler: that's not the case.

With the OpenClaw craze, people are running to buy Mac Mini computers. Why? Well, it's easiest to run Open Claw on an Apple computer and the Mac Mini is the cheapest variation to shop now. Plus, Amazon is running a well-timed deal.

As of Feb. 4, get the Apple Mac Mini (M4 Chip, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) for just $549. That saves you $50 off its $599 list price. We'll be honest, this isn't the best-ever price on the Mac Mini. Previously, we've seen it go as low as $469, so this $549 price is pretty conservative.

That being said, if you're looking to get your hands on a Mac Mini ASAP, this is its best price at the moment.

If you’re a gamer who wants to invest in a big-brand OLED gaming monitor, but has been put off by the cost, Amazon has quite the Samsung deal for you. 

As of Feb. 4, the 49-inch curved Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 gaming monitor (G91SD model) is down to $799.99 at Amazon, knocking a massive $500 off its usual $1,299.99 list price. This is the best price we’ve seen yet on Samsung’s flagship ultra-wide OLED display, as confirmed on price tracker camelcamelcamel.

With a monitor at this scale, the headline feature here is the expansive 5120x1440 Dual QHD resolution spread across a dramatic 32:9 curved OLED panel. Essentially the equivalent of two 27-inch QHD monitors fused together, this will deliver tons of horizontal space for immersive gaming on titles like Arc Raiders, multitasking on streaming platforms like Twitch, or creative work in applications like Photoshop without bezels getting in the way. Thanks to QD-OLED tech, you’ll also get inky blacks, vibrant colors, and excellent contrast that standard LCD panels can’t match.

Performance-wise, the Odyssey OLED G9 doesn’t slack, either. The 144Hz refresh rate, paired with a near-instant 0.03ms response time keeps fast-paced games feeling smooth and responsive, while AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and G-Sync compatibility that helps eliminate screen tearing. Samsung has even included burn-in mitigation features and a fully adjustable ergonomic stand to deliver a very polished package all around.

Meanwhile, the Acer Nitro WQHD gaming monitor is at a record-low price at Amazon. For LG, the UltraGear 27-inch gaming monitor has hit its record-low price.
