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.
Samsung microSD Express Card for Nintendo Switch
Where to Buy:
$59 $39.99 at GameStop (256GB)

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.

OpenAI is announcing security updates following the July news that its AI broke out of a sandboxed environment and accidentally hacked Hugging Face, including improvements to its research environments, monitoring, and alignment techniques. The company had already put the brakes on a new model, Astra, that it thinks could have "critical" cybersecurity capabilities, and the company says it instituted a two-week pause in reinforcement learning (RL) training on its "latest models intended for deployment" while it tightened up security. The company's "largest planned frontier RL run remains on hold."For its frontier model research, OpenAI now r …Read the full story at The Verge.

I turned my old Fire TV Stick into the ultimate retro console in ten minutes
My old Fire TV Stick isn't used for much these days, especially since I've turned to Jellyfin for all of my household streaming.

Google AI Pro cost me $20 a month, but Gemma 4 does the same job for free
There are many things Gemma 4 can do. It can write you a sonnet, help you with your homework, organize your messy notes, make sense of your Excel spreadsheets, and when used right, it can save you $20 on a subscription you probably weren't getting enough value for. I've experienced...
There are many things Gemma 4 can do. It can write you a sonnet, help you with your homework, organize your messy notes, make sense of your Excel spreadsheets, and when used right, it can save you $20 on a subscription you probably weren't getting enough value for. I've experienced mostly all of its capabilities from my own use, first-hand.

4 self-hosted alternatives to apps you’re still paying for every month

Every time I turn around, it seems like something else has gone up in price. Netflix seems to have embarked on a quest to make streaming as unaffordable as cable, and even my garbage company emails me every few months about raising rates. One part of my life that doesn't have to suffer from increased prices is software, though. While there are plenty of services I am more than happy to pay for (and do, such as Obsidian Sync), others have self-hosted alternatives that do the job in no more than a few minutes of your time.

I built a Zigbee sniffer on a $60 ESP32 screen, and now I can watch my smart home talk to itself
If you have a Zigbee smart home network, the main way to see what's happening on it is through your coordinator's logs, but you don't see the actual network at work. Zigbee2MQTT gives you a scrolling list of messages, Home Assistant can show you the important ones, and if something...
If you have a Zigbee smart home network, the main way to see what's happening on it is through your coordinator's logs, but you don't see the actual network at work. Zigbee2MQTT gives you a scrolling list of messages, Home Assistant can show you the important ones, and if something goes wrong, you dig through serial output or set up a packet capture. It may work, but it's not exactly something you can glance at from across the room, and it never looks like normal traffic.

Your first Home a**istant automation shouldn’t be lights — it should be the thing you keep forgetting to do
There's a very good chance the first thing that was automated when you set up Home Assistant is a light bulb. It was the same with my home, and I feel like a betting man when it comes to everyone else. It's the easiest thing to control and automate, not...
There's a very good chance the first thing that was automated when you set up Home Assistant is a light bulb. It was the same with my home, and I feel like a betting man when it comes to everyone else. It's the easiest thing to control and automate, not to mention there's a visual response. But lighting isn't where I've found Home Assistant to be most useful. The first thing to automate is something you repeatedly forget to do.

This single Windows diagnostic will tell you why your PC takes forever to shut down

While you can just click "Shut Down" and be on your way, it probably keeps nagging at you if your PC takes unusually long to power down. If you've checked everything from stubborn apps to Windows Update issues, and are still no closer to an answer, I suggest checking Event Viewer for definitive evidence.

AMD's launch of the 7700X3D this year reminded me of a CPU that launched almost four years ago: the standard Ryzen 7 7700X. I'm sure many of you have forgotten about it too, because I rarely see it in benchmark charts or Reddit discussions anymore. After all, AMD has given us far more exciting CPUs to talk about in the last few years, from the 7800X3D to the 9850X3D, and even the dual-cache, dual-CCD 9950X3D2 recently.

Every Notion account has a graveyard of abandoned databases. Databases themselves aren't even that hard to navigate, but they can get tedious under constant maintenance, which is part of the reason I left Notion a while ago in favor of simpler, more minimalist options. One of them is Obsidian's Bases plugin, which finally enabled many to leave Notion behind.
