When it comes to smart speakers, Amazon has a slew of voice-enabled Echo devices to choose from, one for practically every occasion. Maybe you want to add Alexa to a spare bedroom, for example, or you're looking for an Echo device that will allow you to easily manage your lighting or other smart home devices.

Regardless of the reason, there's always a way to save on an Echo device, from the last-gen Echo Dot to Amazon's latest Echo Show 10. Even when they're selling for full price, Amazon also offers a 25 percent discount when you trade in select devices, so there are still other ways to save money when none of the models are on sale.

The best Echo Dot deals

Last year, Amazon released the fourth generation of the Echo Dot, which looks...

TCL’s 30 V 5G is the cheapest way to get on Verizon’s new C-band 5G network right now

When Verizon lit up its new C-band 5G spectrum earlier this month, only a handful of flagship phones were ready to use the network. Starting today, there's a low-cost option if you're looking to get on C-band 5G right now: the $299 TCL 30 V 5G. Announced at CES, the 30 V 5G is a Verizon exclusive (for now, at least), and it supports all of the carrier's flavors of 5G: slower but widespread "Nationwide," very fast but scarce mmWave, and the sweet C-band spectrum that sits in between, both in terms of coverage and speed.

The TCL 30 V 5G features a big 6.67-inch 1080p screen, Snapdragon 480 5G chipset with 4GB RAM, and a 4,500mAh battery — all typical specs for a budget device. It's one of eight new 30-series phones the company is releasing...

In a move no one saw coming because not that many people were playing the game in the first place, Hyper Scape, Ubisoft's attempt to get in on the increasingly bloated battle royale market, will be shutting down on April 28th. On Hyper Scape's website, the announcement reads:

We have made the difficult decision to end development of Hyper Scape and shut the game down as of April 28th. We set out to create a vertical, close-quarters, and fast-paced shooter experience and we are extremely grateful to our community for joining us on our journey. We will be taking key learnings from this game into future products.

Hyper Scape launched on August 11th, 2020 and quickly fell off. Despite rocketing to the top of Twitch charts with a coordinated...

Microsoft is making its Xbox subscriptions a little more flexible after a UK regulator raised concerns. The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) "has secured undertakings with Microsoft" that will improve accidental renewals for Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass subscriptions.

Microsoft has agreed to offer refunds to Xbox subscribers that are on recurring 12-month subscriptions and even cancel inactive memberships if customers are reminded how to stop payments and still continue not to use a membership.

The CMA identified a number of concerns around Microsoft's auto-renewing subscriptions, and the Xbox maker has agreed to address them with the following improvements:

  • "Better upfront information: Microsoft will provide more...

In the culmination of a two-year legal process, the former operator of dark web index site DeepDotWeb was handed a sentence of 97 months in prison for money laundering on Tuesday.

The sentence was issued to Tal Prihar, an Israeli national, by a judge of the District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. The judgment from the court ordered Prihar to forfeit $8.4 million in cash, along with an ASUS laptop, a black iPhone, and his accounts at cryptocurrency exchanges Binance, Kraken and OKCoin.

The DeepDotWeb site started operating in 2013, operated by Prihar and another Israeli citizen Michael Phan, who is a co-defendant in the case. The site was hosted on the open internet but provided links to the .onion domains of dark web...

A SpaceX rocket slamming into the Moon is a reminder to clean up our deep space junk

Posted: 27 Jan 2022 10:09 AM PST

For the last seven years, a leftover piece of an old SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket has been circling the Earth on a very wide orbit, having a pretty unremarkable time. But that's all about to change on March 4th, when this rocket piece is predicted to accidentally slam into the far side of the Moon. And according to the astronomer who first figured this out, it's a reminder that we need to take better care of our deep space junk.

The doomed component is part of a rocket that launched from Florida in February of 2015. The vehicle lofted a particularly valuable satellite for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration called DSCOVR, which monitors solar winds coming from the Sun to better predict space weather. In order to perform its job...

FCC unanimously approves ‘nutrition labels’ for broadband services

Understanding your broadband speeds could be just as simple as reading the nutrition label on the back of the food you buy at the grocery store as soon as the end of this year.

The Federal Communications Commission voted unanimously on Thursday to press forward on a new plan that would require internet providers, like Comcast and Verizon, to offer new labels disclosing an internet plan's price, speed, data allowances, including introductory rates and later price hikes, as well as network management practices, like throttling, at the point of sale. This allows for greater transparency into market rates and could lead to lower prices down the line.

"Access to accurate, simple-to-understand information about broadband Internet access...

Messenger’s end-to-end encrypted chats and calls are available to everyone

Messenger added end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) chatting in 2016 when it was still called Facebook Messenger, and Meta was still Facebook. Now many things have changed, but the optional feature is fully rolled out to everyone, with toggles to encrypt text messages as well as group chats and calls. Meta has discussed switching to E2EE as a default, but that may not happen until next year at the earliest, as some regulators claim this would harm public safety.

There are two ways Messenger users can opt in to the secure chats, either via vanish mode, by swiping up on an existing chat to enter one where messages automatically disappear when the window is closed or the original version that was introduced in 2016 as Secret Conversations. You can...
