If you want a terrific Android smartwatch to keep tabs on your health and fitness goals, the Google Pixel Watch 4 is down to a new low price. You can currently pick up the Wi-Fi-enabled 41mm model for $289.99 ($60 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, or the larger 45mm variant for $339.99 (also $60 off) via the same retailers (Amazon / Best Buy).Google’s latest wearable offers a wide range of helpful health and fitness tools, allowing you to track your activity, sleep, blood oxygen levels, and heart rate. It can automatically record certain cardio workouts, while dual-frequency GPS enables more accurate navigation in challenging environments, including cities. Being a Google device, the Watch 4 also integrates well with the company’s various services, with support for apps like Google Maps, Google Wallet, and Google a**istant. You can also make hands-free calls with Google Gemini using the raise-to-talk gesture, which is helpful when you’re out for a run.While the watch works well with most Android phones, it pairs especially nicely with Pixel devices. Pixel phone owners, for example, can use it as a remote shutter for the Pixel camera and take advantage of features like Recorder, which can generate AI-powered summaries of recordings. As an added plus, the screen and battery are both repairable and replaceable, so you won’t necessarily need to buy a whole new watch if either gets damaged.

Mario Day brought plenty of great deals earlier this week, though one of the best was for Samsung’s Mario-themed microSD Express card. Thankfully, the 256GB model is still at Walmart, Best Buy, and GameStop for around $39 ($20 off), matching its lowest price to date.While many first-party Nintendo Switch 2 games don’t take up a huge amount of space, storage can fill up quickly if you keep adding to your digital library or buy a lot of third-party games, such as Cyberpunk 2077. That makes this a solid deal, as the Switch 2 is limited to 256GB of built-in storage and requires pricier microSD Express cards for storage expansion. Samsung’s card uses the newer microSD Express standard, which delivers superior read and write speeds to traditional microSD cards, helping reduce load times and speed up larger downloads.

More great deals from this week
Google’s TV Streamer (4K) is on sale for $79.99 ($20 off) at Amazon, Target, and Walmart, which is just $5 more than its best price to date. It’s an excellent streaming device that takes only about 10 minutes to set up and supports both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. It also doubles as an impressively capable smart home hub, with built-in support for Matter and Thread, letting you control a wide range of smart home devices using Google a**istant or the Google Home panel on your TV screen. Read our review.
Ninja’s Creami is on sale in white for $169 ($30 off) at Walmart. Although it’s primarily an ice cream maker, the handy countertop appliance comes with five preset b***ons that let you easily make sorbet, gelato, milkshakes, and even smoothie bowls. Plus, unlike store-bought ice cream, you can mix in whatever you want, from fruit and vegan ingredients to extra chocolate chips — all from the comfort of your home.
Gruv is discounting a range of 4K Blu-rays via its eBay storefront, including the excellent Godzilla Minus One, which is down to $14.99 ($9 off) right now. If you’re planning to grab more than one movie, you can also take an extra 15 percent off when you buy two or more films with coupon code GRUVJAMARCH2026. The sale includes a range of films, too, including older hits like Twister, recent award-winning epics like Oppenheimer, and genre staples like The Matrix Collection, among others, making it a good opportunity to expand your 4K collection at a discount.

SpaceX's AI revenue grew more than three times to $2.6 billion from the year before, mostly because of deals that the company made to provide compute to other AI companies, according to SpaceX's quarterly earnings. The AI division, which the company said in its documents to go public was the source of most of its value, lost $1.5 billion this quarter, slightly less than in the same quarter last year.SpaceX made deals with Anthropic in May and Google in June to provide compute to the other two AI companies, putting it in competition with other neoclouds such as CoreWeave. The increased presence in AI is also driving the company to spend mor …Read the full story at The Verge.

Your monitor’s HDMI 2.1 port is lying about what it can do, and it’s all perfectly legal
There was a time when HDMI 2.1 ports were extremely rare, but even today, the ones on most gaming monitors aren't delivering the features they're supposed to. An HDMI 2.1 port should support not just 48 Gbps bandwidth, but also features such as eARC, ALLM, dynamic HDR, and more. In...
There was a time when HDMI 2.1 ports were extremely rare, but even today, the ones on most gaming monitors aren't delivering the features they're supposed to. An HDMI 2.1 port should support not just 48 Gbps bandwidth, but also features such as eARC, ALLM, dynamic HDR, and more. In reality, manufacturers can implement just one of these features and market "HDMI 2.1" to move units.

I ditched my clipboard manager after finding this cross-device clipboard app
Lately, my workflow revolves around AI tools much more than it used to.

Lately, my workflow revolves around AI tools much more than it used to. I'm constantly copying prompts, AI responses, code snippets, research, and links while switching between my desktop, laptop, and phone. My clipboard manager still does a good job of remembering everything I copy, but that's no longer my biggest problem. These days, I need that content to be available wherever I'm working next. After looking for a better solution, I came across OctoClip. It combines clipboard syncing with simple file transfers, which turned out to be a much better fit for the way I work today.

Transcoding is the part everyone gets wrong, and the fix is usually a cheaper GPU than you think

Anyone who has ever built a Jellyfin server eventually reaches the same crossroads — a couple of friends start streaming remotely, and someone tries to play a file on a device that can't handle the original video format. That's what makes the "effortless" server start sweating, and you instinctively think of plugging in a faster Ryzen processor, a newer motherboard, and maybe even a memory upgrade. Those upgrades aren't nearly as easy as they once were, but they were still mistakes I almost ended up making.

The Steam Controller has one kryptonite, and it caused me to swap controllers
I bought the new Steam Controller with the expectation that it'd be the last gamepad I'd ever need, and the hardware makes a great case for that. While there are controllers out there that combine a couple of the elements of what Valve has done, none of them have full...
I bought the new Steam Controller with the expectation that it'd be the last gamepad I'd ever need, and the hardware makes a great case for that. While there are controllers out there that combine a couple of the elements of what Valve has done, none of them have full parity with the Steam Controller. The trackpads are great, the gyro is really solid, and the traditional gamepad elements like the buttons and joysticks are as good as it gets.

AMD’s data center business is booming while gaming takes a backseat

That's up from $5.8 billion in Q1, and jumping 107 percent from the $3.2 billion it reported for the same period a year ago. During Tuesday's earnings call, AMD CEO Lisa Su said the company expects "data center segment revenue to more than double year-over-year in 2027," as well. At the same time, AMD's gaming revenue fell 31 percent compared to last year, to $779 million, as price hikes and component shortages slowed sales for the Xbox Series X / S, PS5, and Valve's Steam Deck.

A Microsoft executive got Doom running in Paint using a clipboard hack

In less than a week, Spider-Man: Brand New Day raked in $1 billion worldwide and had the biggest box office opening weekend in Hollywood history. The feature has been a reminder of why Sony is probably never going to give up the Spider-Man film rights, and highlighted how Marvel Studios was smart to strike a deal to bring the character into its own films. But as successful as Brand New Day has been, the larger MCU has been stuck in a confounding slump for the past few years. And while this latest Spider-Man movie was truly excellent, it's not necessarily a sign that Marvel has figured out how to get things back on track.Though Brand New Da …Read the full story at The Verge.

5 tools that turned my self-hosted media server into something better than any streaming service
My living room media setup started with a simple goal. I wanted my movies and television shows on hardware I controlled, with one clean interface instead of a pile of streaming apps that each remembered different watch histories.

Document chat is a non-negotiable part of most of my workflows these days. Yes, NotebookLM still holds the crown in this department, but only when I'm getting serious with coursework. For all of my other documents, I default to my daily AI, Claude. However, Claude is still a cloud tool at the end of the day, which means there are certain docs I don't feel comfortable just handing over.
