Five weeks ago, Bungie announced that Destiny 2’s next update would be its last, bringing the live-service game to an end a little less than nine years after its launch. At the time, it wasn’t quite clear what this meant for the studio – some theorized the Destiny 2 team would all get to work on Destiny 3 – but today confirmed one of the worse outcomes.Bungie has announced…

When I first got my hands on a smart ring years ago, I was extremely skeptical. Is the sensor accurate? What about the fragility? Can they match the biosensing chops of smartwatches?

I sifted through the options and narrowed it down to two laptops that look like the best value picks if you need an affordable Windows machine for everyday work, school, browsing, streaming, and basic productivity. ASUS Vivobook 14 The ASUS Vivobook 14 is the more compact pick here, especially if you want an affordable laptop for meetings, documents, browsing, and basic productivity. The 8GB RAM and 256GB storage model launched at $699, recently sold for as low as $419,…

Both are loved by customers and have excellent ratings on Amazon, backed by thousands of reviews. In addition, the ongoing Prime Day sale lets you snag them at exceptional prices.

Budget phone deals can be some of the worst Prime Day traps because the low price does a lot of emotional damage to common sense. A cheap phone still needs enough storage, decent battery life, a usable camera, and enough performance to avoid becoming drawer clutter by Halloween. These two deals make sense for different reasons: the Pixel 10a is the better all-around Android buy, while the Moto G Play is the cheapest phone here that still has a clear job. Google Pixel 10a Pros Class-leading camera quality Completely flat back panel Bright 120Hz OLED screen Seven years software updates…
