If you're seeking a beginner-friendly fight stick to accompany your Nintendo Switch or PC gaming, the 8BitDo Arcade Stick is calling your name. Not only is it an eye-catching NES-like nostalgic comfort, but it's fully customizable for just about any preference you may have. Plus, more importantly, it's on sale for its lowest price in months.

As of April 14, the 8BitDo Arcade Stick is down to just $75.99 at Amazon instead of its usual $89.99. That's 16% in savings and the lowest price we've seen since January.

Our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) dubbed the Arcade Stick an Editors' Choice for budget joysticks. They called it a "capable wireless controller that’s ideal for playing classic arcade games on the PC or Switch," adding that it's a great entry-level fight stick that offers room to grow.

While the Arcade Stick doesn't actually pack high-grade arcade parts, the build quality is solid, the controls are responsive, and the joystick is "satisfyingly clicky." Plus, it's designed with modding in mind, so you can pop open the hood and replace the base parts with whatever you wish.

It can wirelessly connect to a Nintendo Switch or Windows PC through Bluetooth or a 2.4GHz USB receiver and offers between 30 and 40 hours of battery life depending on which you choose. Of course, you can also keep a wired connection if you want to minimize any input lag. Unfortunately, it's not compatible with Android or any other gaming consoles. Still, for a more arcade-like experience from the comfort of your own home, check out the 8BitDo Arcade Stick while it's on sale.

My biggest problem with useful apps has always been remembering to check them or open them when I need them. Widgets have allowed me to pin some of the most important apps on my phone directly on my home screen, ensuring that I never miss them when they're relevant.

The gay dating app Sniffies has been relatively quiet since the App Store catastrophe (In case you missed it: The company launched an official iOS app that forced users into a censored "Vanilla Mode" to appease Apple's strict guidelines, only for the app to get pulled anyway — and there's still no word on whether it will return). But this month, the company is launching multiple new features designed to make connecting "faster and more intentional." Which is a super-smart move, IMO. Grindr is getting all kinds of heat right now for pushing paid features and gatekeeping basic functionality in the hopes that users will cough up some cash.

"Sniffies is built for immediacy," Eli Martin, Chief Marketing Officer at Sniffies, said in a press release. "We're not trying to keep people scrolling or upsell basic functionality. We're focused on helping people connect quickly and clearly. That means building tools that make connection easier without putting it behind a paywall."

Here's a quick breakdown of the new features:

Cruiser Cards

"Cruiser Cards" make it way easier to see who's available without having to hunt them down. Instead of dragging your finger across the map, the site pulls nearby active cruisers and highlights them in a scrollable carousel, sorted by the exact time they were last active. It basically turns the map into a live feed of guys who are ready to meet up right now.

If you're sick of clicking into a profile only to realize you're completely sexually incompatible, you'll love the new "Into Filter." It's a ridiculously easy way to distill the map down to guys who are looking for the exact same thing you are.

To make things even more obvious, the new "Position Icons" display a cruiser's preferences directly on their map avatar. You'll know right away whether they're a top (🍆), bottom (🍑), vers (↕️), or side (↔️). The emojis stack based on their profile (a vers top will show up as 🍆↕️, for example).

Credit: Sniffies Share a Spot and Share a Group

Coordinating a meetup is easier now, too. With "Share a Spot," you can drop a temporary map pin right into the chat to suggest a neutral meeting place. The location automatically expires for both of you after 60 minutes, so you don't have to stress about oversharing your exact whereabouts.

Meanwhile, "Share a Group" lets you send live group event details (like the time, activity, and attendee list) directly into a chat.

Compact SUVs remain the sweet spot of the new-car market, combining family-friendly practicality, manageable dimensions, and increasingly strong fuel economy. But with prices rising and long-term ownership costs mattering more than ever, dependability has become just as important as features or styling. In 2026, only a handful of models truly stand out for delivering the kind of reliability buyers can count on for years.

Milwaukee tool fans know the company has a vast selection of power tools, from drills and drivers to angled ratchets and more. You probably own all the basics and some specialty tools, but here are a few niche Milwaukee tools, what they're used for, and why you might actually want one.

It's currently one of the best times of year to buy a new TV. Not only are the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs about to kick off, but it's also prime season to score a 2025 TV model for a steal.

As of April 14, you can get the Hisense 55-inch QD7 Mini LED QLED 4K TV for only $297.99 at Amazon (or just $2 more at Best Buy). That's 40% or over $200 off its current list price of $499.99 — its cheapest price ever.

If a TV upgrade is in order, but you don't want to spend a ton of money, the Hisense QD7 is an excellent value. Our pals at CNET (also owned by Ziff Davis) dubbed the QD7 model the best budget TV, thanks to its full array local dimming (typically only found in more expensive TVs), enhanced contrast levels, and surprisingly high brightness. "The QD7 has the best price-to-performance ratio of any model I have ever reviewed. It is heartily recommended," writes TV expert Ty Pendlebury.

The QD7 also packs features like an AI upscaler, Filmmaker Mode, and a native 144Hz panel with Motion Rate 480, Game Mode Pro, and AMD FreeSync Premium. Whether you're gaming or streaming, you'll enjoy a smooth, lag-free experience. As a Fire TV, it has Alexa built in. That means you can press a button on the remote and ask for everything from content recommendations and sports scores to smart home lighting adjustments and a peek at who's at the front door.

Whether you're looking for a new screen to catch the postseason hockey action, every MLB game, or the new season of Euphoria, the Hisense QD7 is a solid choice at the best price you'll find.

We have bad news for Windows laptop shoppers.

Microsoft has become the latest company to raise prices because of the global memory shortage, announcing wide-ranging price increases for Microsoft Surface laptops.

As reported by Windows Central, Microsoft has increased prices up to $500, specifically citing "recent increases in memory and component costs" in a statement to the site. The new prices are live now at the online Microsoft Store, and retailers will likely update prices soon, too. Every laptop in the Surface lineup has increased in price by at least $100 compared to its 2025 pricetag, and some of these laptops have gone up by as much as $500 since 2024.

For example, the 13-inch Surface Pro was $999 in 2024. A year later, it started at $1,199, with some better specs. Now, in 2026, the same device is $1,499. In just two years, that one laptop has seen a $500 price hike, and it's not alone. Every laptop in the Surface lineup now starts for over $1,000, which wasn't true two years ago. As Windows Central pointed out, it only gets worse the more bells and whistles you attach to each laptop, as the highest-end Surface Laptop 15 is now $3,649.

These Surface laptops are the latest in a long and growing list of tech products experiencing price increases due to the global memory shortage. The hardware demands of AI data centers have led to shortages and higher prices for RAM memory components. Combined with the tariff-related price increases seen in 2025, the end result is another year of higher prices for shoppers.

In just the last couple of months, we've seen Sony suspend SD card sales and raise the price of the PS5 game console, and it's become increasingly difficult to buy a Steam Deck at any price due to stock shortages. One has to wonder how much longer the Nintendo Switch 2 will be available for $450.

In the laptop market specifically, Apple recently raised prices on its MacBook devices as well; however, the company also introduced a new budget laptop, the MacBook Neo, which has put even more pressure on the Windows laptop market.

Trevor Noah addresses the elephant in the room in his latest Netflix special, Joy in the Trenches.

Filmed at the Warner Theatre in Washington, D.C., the former Daily Show host's comedy set hit the streaming service on Tuesday. Noah covers myriad topics about the state of the world, U.S. politics, and social media, including the time Donald Trump threatened to sue him over his Epstein joke at Grammys.

"It hits different when you're in the crosshairs," he says. "I'm not gonna lie, it's pretty crazy."

At the start of the set, Noah speaks about hosting The Daily Show for seven years, where he covered Trump and his administration every week, and essentially assumed the president would come after him at one point, which he didn't. "Then I left The Daily Show, and I relaxed like an idiot in a horror movie," says Noah.

In February, when hosting the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, Noah announced Song of the Year winner Billie Eilish, then delivered the joke that irked the president: "That is a Grammy that every artist wants almost as much as Trump wants Greenland, which makes sense because Epstein's island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton." (Trump and former U.S. President Bill Clinton are known to have associated with the convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein; both have denied they visited Epstein’s private island, Little St. James, a central location for his crimes).

Opening Joy in the Trenches, Noah takes the audience through what happened after the Grammys, when he flew back to Boston, getting thumbs ups from fellow passengers, and received an avalanche of messages — all while his phone was off.

"I turned on my phone and honestly, I thought the thing was malfunctioning, because it started vibrating before the icons popped up," he says. "Every app was going crazy: iMessage, WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram, even Uber Eats was like, 'Yo, you got some hot shit coming in, man.' I went to my messages, and everyone I've ever known in my life had texted me. Everyone. From kindergarten teachers onwards."

Noah explains, of course, he finally saw the post from Trump on his own platform, Truth Social, which the president posted just after the Grammys aired. Here, onstage, Noah reads the entire Truth Social post to the audience "because I don't want to misquote anything." Yelling every time Trump uses capitals (which is often), Noah runs through every quote from "The Grammy Awards are the WORST, virtually unwatchable!" to Trump's denial that he's "never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close."

Watching Noah's response to each of these lines is worth watching the special alone, including Trump's statement: "The host, Trevor Noah, whoever he may be, is almost as bad as Jimmy Kimmel at the Low Ratings Academy Awards."

"You can't say 'the host, Trevor Noah, whoever he may be,' because that is exactly who I may be," Noah says. "I understand he was trying to dismiss me, but you said my full name and my job title on the night. You can't be dismissive and be vague and specific at the same time. That's not how that works. 'Whoever he may be' — I be nobody else. There is no may in this equation. That is exactly who I be."

"It hits different when you're in the crosshairs." - Trevor Noah

Of course, Noah addresses the fact that Trump threatened that "it looks like I’ll be sending my lawyers" to sue the comedian for defamation, then concluded, "Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you!" — a line Noah seizes upon for its undeniably creepiness.

"That last line is something: Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you! You know, if you're not trying to sound like a sexual deviant, you this is not the line I would recommend."

Noah gets real at one point, not sure how to react to the whole thing, and not knowing whether he'll actually be sued by Trump or not (depends on the week with the president, really). Trump has not filed a formal lawsuit in federal or state court.

"I'll be honest with you, I don't know how to feel, because I don't know how this will play out," Noah says. "With him, there is no knowing."
