If you've been itching to get started with a Raspberry Pi 5, this Amazon Prime Day deal may be too good to pass up. For not much more than the retail price of an 8GB Raspberry Pi 5 itself, you can snag the SBC along with (almost) everything you need to get it up and running. I'm talking about the 8GB Raspberry Pi 5 itself, along with all the necessary accessories. All you'll need to add is your keyboard, mouse, and a display. The starter kit includes the SBC, a high-speed 128GB microSD card preloaded with Raspberry Pi OS, and additional components. This starter kit from Canakit usually sells for $160, but Amazon has knocked 15% off the price during its Prime Day event.

Supreme Court gives Trump the green light to cut down the federal workforce

In a significant albeit preliminary win for the president, the Supreme Court is allowing the Trump administration to go ahead with its plans to drastically reshape federal agencies by laying off employees en masse.The unsigned decision lifts a lower court ruling that briefly stopped the Trump administration from cutting down the federal workforce while a legal challenge worked through the court system. The Supreme Court is now allowing federal agencies to slash jobs even before the legality of Trump’s plan has been decided. A February executive order directed the heads of federal agencies to “promptly undertake preparations to initiate large-scale reductions in force (RIFs).” A coalition of unions, local governments, and nonprofit organizations soon filed suit, alleging that Trump’s attempt to reorganize the federal government was unlawful. “Today’s decision has dealt a serious blow to our democracy.”In May, a US District Court Judge Susan Illston from San Francisco granted a preliminary injunction pausing the mass layoffs while the lawsuit proceeds. “Agencies may not conduct large-scale reorganizations and reductions in force in blatant disregard of Congress’s mandates, and a President may not initiate large-scale executive branch reorganization without partnering with Congress,” the order reads.The Supreme Court is now lifting that injunction on the basis that the Trump administration is “likely to succeed” in its argument that the executive order is lawful. But it chose not to weigh in on the legality of any individual agency’s RIF plan for now.“Today’s decision has dealt a serious blow to our democracy and puts services that the American people rely on in grave jeopardy,” the coalition of groups that sued Trump said in a press release today.

The AirPods Pro 2 combine excellent sound quality with top-notch ANC, and they offer impressive hearing health features. Before this year’s Prime Day event began, there were already some great early deals on Apple products, allowing you to save on the Apple Watch, iPad, and the MacBook Air. Now we can add Apple’s second generation AirPods Pro with USB-C charging case to the list, which is currently down to $149 ($100 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy, the best deal we’ve seen yet.AirPods Pro (second-gen) with USB-CThe second-gen AirPods Pro improve upon Apple’s original pair with much better noise cancellation, sound quality, and onboard volume controls. The latest refresh also ships with a USB-C charging case, as opposed to Lightning. Read our review.Where to Buy: $249.99 $149 at Amazon $249.99 $149 at Walmart $249.99 $149.99 at Best BuyThe AirPods Pro combine superb audio with excellent ANC, plus they have a transparency mode, which lets outside sounds in, allowing you to hear your environment while still listening to your music. They can even double as FDA-approved hearing aids, thanks to an update in iOS 18, which is part of the reason why they’re still our best AirPods overall.Additionally, the AirPods Pro offer up to six hours of battery life with ANC enabled, while the charging case comes equipped with MagSafe, making it easy to place them onto a MagSafe or Qi2 wireless charger. The AirPods Pro feature an IPX4 rating, meaning they should be able to withstand a little water. They also offer deep integration with other Apple products, allowing for automatic device switching. For instance, if you’re listening to music on your Mac and pick up your iPhone to watch a video, the AirPods Pro will automatically switch from the Mac to the iPhone.AirPods 4Apple’s AirPods 4 are the latest update to its base-model wireless earbuds. The hard plastic buds should have improved audio quality and spatial audio with head tracking for the first time. Read our review.Where to Buy: $129 $89 at Amazon $129 $89 at Walmart $179 $119 at Amazon (with ANC)If you don’t like the sealed feeling of the AirPods Pro 2’s silicone tips, the AirPods 4 are also on sale at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy, with the standard model without ANC matching its all-time low price of $89 ($30 off). Additionally, the AirPods 4 with ANC are down to $119 ($60 off) at Amazon and Walmart, which is by far the lowest price we’ve seen. The open-ear wireless earbuds offer many of the same features as the premium AirPods Pro 2, including conversation awareness, personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, and transparency mode.AirPods Max (USB-C)The revised AirPods Max are much like the original model from 2020, but now with new color options and a USB-C port instead of Lightning.Where to Buy: $549 $399 at AmazonFinally, the AirPods Max with USB-C are down to an all-time low of $399 ($150 off) at Amazon, beating the previous best price by $50. While they haven’t been updated for nearly five years (aside from the addition of USB-C in place of Lightning and some new colors), the AirPods Max remain Apple’s most luxe headphones, offering top notch comfort and sound quality. At $150 off, the high price tag is a little easier to stomach.

The M4 MacBook Air is a cool $150 off. Amazon has solid discounts on laptops during its four-day Prime Day sales event. One of the nice things about shopping during Prime Day, even if you don’t have the requisite Prime subscription, is that Best Buy and others often follow suit with their own competing deals.We found deals on models The Verge swears by — ones that should treat you well for years to come.

It’s the 16-inch version of the Swift 14 AI I recently reviewed and mostly liked. But the best part of the bigger Swift 16 over the 14 is it maintains the plethora of ports and has a much higher-quality screen, with a 2880 x 1800 OLED panel. Its other key specs include an Intel Core 7 Ultra 256V (Lunar Lake) chip, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD.

The 197 best Prime Day 2025 deals that we found

Prime Day, Amazon’s four-day thunderdome of exclusive deals, is here. Outside of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, we anticipate this to be the best moment of the year to score discounts on headphones, laptops, TVs, gaming gear, and really anything else that might be on your wishlist — or someone else’s. We sorted through thousands of deals, ultimately narrowing it down to including products we’ve tried (many of which we’ve reviewed) and can vouch for.To repeat, there will be four — count ’em — four days of deals aimed at Prime subscribers, which means you have double the amount of time to save this year. We don’t expect each new day to wipe the slate clean of previous deals and introduce brand-new ones; however, there will likely be some time-sensitive lighting discounts added at intervals throughout, sprinkled on like a garnish. Also, some big retailers outside of Amazon, including Walmart and Best Buy, are also slashing prices, so we’ve added more purchasing options whenever possible.Prime Day highlightsHeadphone and earbud dealsCharger and cable dealsSmartwatch and fitness tracker dealsSmartphone dealsMovies and TV show dealsDesktop and laptop dealsTablet and e-reader dealsTV and streaming dealsMonitor dealsSmart home dealsRobot vacuum dealsSoundbar and Bluetooth speaker dealsVideo game dealsGaming accessory dealsPC add-on dealsBoard game dealsVerge favorites and other miscellaneous dealsPrime Day highlightsHave a Switch 2? 8BitDo’s Ultimate 2 wireless controller is a cheaper alternative to the pricey Switch 2 Pro Controller — and better in some ways. It’s $55.99 at Amazon ($15 off).Apple’s 2020 MacBook Air with the M1 chip has no business being a good value still in 2025. The laptop’s design is the most outdated thing about it, but its processor, along with 8GB RAM and 256GB of storage make it a good entry-level Mac, especially at Walmart’s discounted $599.99 price (was $649.99).A solid soundbar that can automatically rotate itself to fire sound upwards for Dolby Atmos content seems like it’d be expensive, but Vizio’s 5.1.2. Elevate SE system is actually just $299 at Amazon ($200 off). For those who are ready to take the plunge on a 65-inch OLED TV, this excellent Prime Day deal at Amazon slashes $300 off the cost of Samsung’s S85D. This OLED TV has four HDMI 2.1 ports, a 120Hz refresh rate with VRR, and incredible picture quality. However, Samsung doesn’t support Dolby Vision HDR, so that’s missing here.Keep mosquitos at bay with Thermacell’s rechargeable repeller, which costs $17.68 (half off) at Amazon for the version that lasts five hours per charge. It runs on cartridges, but a 12-hour one is included in the box.It’s a good time to need new AirPods, because Apple’s AirPods Pro that come with a USB-C charging case are $100 off for the first time at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. Genki’s small M.2 2230-sized enclosure called the SavePoint is $39.99 when you clip the on-page coupon at Amazon. You can use it as a speedy USB-C SSD with any device, but it shines when connected to a Steam Deck because it has two USB-C ports (one for data, the other for power passthrough to keep the handheld charged). Here’s how to use it to run Windows on your Steam Deck.Hoto’s rechargeable screwdriver is a both a Verge-favorite and a reader-favorite, and it’s discounted for Prime Day. It’s $36.99 (originally $79.99) at Amazon for the 3.6V screwdriver, 25 steel bits, and a sleek carrying case to contain it all. There’s an on-page coupon to save an extra 10 percent, too.Headphone and earbud dealsSonos AceThe Sonos Ace are the company’s first set of wireless headphones. They feature a premium, comfortable build and active noise cancellation, along with compatibility with Sonos Arc and other Sonos soundbars. Read our review. Where to Buy: $449 $299 at Amazon $449 $299 at Best Buy $449 $299 at SonosAirPods Pro (second-gen) with USB-CThe second-gen AirPods Pro improve upon Apple’s original pair with much better noise cancellation, sound quality, and onboard volume controls.

They pack fantastic sound and thumping bass, along with active noise cancellation, IPX4 water resistance, and heart rate monitoring. Read our review.Where to Buy: $249 $179.99 at Amazon $249 $179.95 at Walmart $249 $179.99 at Best BuyBose QuietComfort HeadphonesBose’s QuietComfort Headphones, which replace the QuietComfort 45, have adjustable noise cancellation and the ability to set custom modes. However, they lack immersive audio mode and the higher-quality Bluetooth found in the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones.Where to Buy: $359 $229 at Amazon $359 $229 at Best Buy $359.99 $229.99 at TargetThe Samsung Galaxy Buds FE are a decent-sounding pair of earbuds with ANC, and they’re down to a new low $54.99 ($45 off) at Amazon. The entry-level earbuds offer reliable performance and satisfactory sound — especially at this price — though they lack wireless charging, multipoint support, and some of the newer frills found on Samsung’s flagship earbuds. That said, they also come with a pair of silicone “wings” to help them stay firmly planted in place, which some considered a hallmark of prior models. Read our review. If you’re an Apple user, there’s no better pair of starter buds than the open-style AirPods 4, which have fallen to a new low of $89 ($41 off) at Amazon and Walmart. The latest model sounds significantly better than the third-gen pair, particularly when it comes to voice calls. More importantly, they offer robust integration with the rest of the Apple ecosystem, letting you take advantage of audio sharing, automatic device switching, hands-free “Hey Siri” commands, Apple TV integration, and more. Read our review.Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 ProSamsung’s premium Galaxy Buds 3 Pro sport the same stem-based design and pinch gestures as the standard Galaxy Buds 3, only they deliver better sound, improved ANC, and an in-ear fit with silicone tips. Read our review.Where to Buy: $249.99 $174.99 at Amazon $249.99 $189.99 at Best Buy $249.99 $189.99 at SamsungGoogle’s Pixel Buds Pro 2 are on sale at Amazon for $169.99 ($60 off), which is about $10 shy of their best price to date. They’re a pretty notable step up from the prior model — particularly if you use a Pixel phone — with a smaller build, an excellent transparency mode, and some of the best battery life you can get in a pair of noise-canceling earbuds. Read our review.Sony’s newer WH-1000XM6 are our No. 1 pick for the best ANC headphones, but the prior model remains an excellent alternative at $298, their current price on Amazon. The WH-1000XM5 still offer top-tier noise cancellation and superb sound, along with a helpful transparency mode, multipoint Bluetooth support, and other handy features. The only real downside, aside from the plasticky build, is the fact that they don’t fold down like the XM4 and this year’s XM6. Read our review.Sony WH-1000XM4Sony’s last-last-gen ANC headphones still offer great sound, last up to 30 hours on a single charge, and provide a comfortable listening experience thanks to their plush ear pads.

Read our review.Where to Buy: $169.95 $89.95 at Amazon $169.95 $89.95 at Walmart $169.95 $89.99 at Best BuyOther than the Beats Studio Buds Plus above, there aren’t a ton of reputable pairs of wireless earbuds that rely on a see-through design. The newer WF-C710N do, however, and they’ve reached a new low price of $78 ($41 off) at Amazon for Prime Day. What’s more, the budget-minded earbuds also borrow some tricks from Sony’s pricier earbuds, including improved noise cancellation and battery life, an automatic pause feature, and touch buttons that allow you to control playback without whipping out your phone.Sony’s Float headphones are currently down to $78 ($52 off) at Amazon, which is significantly less than their previous low of $108. The Float represent Sony’s take on open-ear headphones, and while we haven’t had a chance to test them (yet), they seem to offer similar features to their like-minded rivals, including IPX4 water resistance, USB-C charging, and generous ear hooks that are designed to keep them firmly in place while you run.Nothing Ear (a)Nothing’s Ear (a) earbuds have the same general design as the company’s previous earbuds — but you can get these in a snazzy yellow. They include ANC, more than decent sound quality, and other features like multipoint for just under $100. Read our impressions.Where to Buy: $99 $69 at Amazon $99 $69 at NothingShokz OpenRun Pro 2Shokz’ best bone conduction headphones yet, with more booming bass than its predecessor. Our reviewer Victoria Song praised their cozy fit as well as their USB-C charging (goodbye, proprietary charger!). Read our review.Where to Buy: $179.99 $124.99 at Best Buy $179.95 $124.95 at Amazon $179.95 $124.95 at WalmartThe recently released Skullcandy Method 360 ANC are down to a new low of $79.88 ($50 off) at Amazon for Prime Day. They’re basically a pair of low-end Bose earbuds in disguise — hell, they even use licensed technology and audio tuning by Bose — which means they offer well-balanced sound, solid battery life, and a number of great features for the price. They also block noise more effectively than previous Skullcandy offerings and come in an array of fun colors, including a chic leopard print.The Shokz OpenFit are currently on sale at Amazon and Best Buy for $109.95 ($50 off), a new low. Like other pairs of Shokz earbuds, they feature a lightweight, open-style design that’s well-suited for both the gym and everyday use, with an IP55 water resistance rating, relatively clear sound, and a decent amount of low-end thump despite their less conventional design. Read our hands-on impressions.Google’s Pixel Buds A-Series earbuds have hit a new low of $49 ($50 off) at Amazon. The newer Pixel Buds Pro 2 are, unsurprisingly, a huge step up in terms of sound and features, but Google’s discontinued entry-level earbuds are still very good for the money and create a tight seal in your ears to block outside sounds in lieu of proper noise cancellation. Read our review.Charger and cable dealsAnker MagGo Magnetic Charging Station 8-in-1A Qi2 pad on the front and a party in the back, with three AC outlets and four USB ports. It can deliver up to 67W through a single USB-C port or divided between its two USB-C and two USB-A ports.Where to Buy: $99.99 $49.99 at Amazon $99.99 $49.99 at Anker (code automatically applied)Anker Nano Travel Adapter (5-in-1, 20W)Anker’s jack-of-all-trades travel adapter packs enough ports to refill your devices during some downtime. It features one AC outlet, two USB-C ports (one tops out at 20W), and two USB-A ports. It’s not the fastest wall charger, but it’s a solid choice when you can find it at a discount.Where to Buy: $25.99 $19.99 at Amazon $25.99 $19.99 at AnkerFor a portable power bank that matches the design of Anker’s 20,000mAh 737 battery with its display but delivers a substantial amount of power (a combined 130W), there’s Ugreen’s Nexode model, which is currently on sale at Best Buy for just $56.99 ($33 off).The Baseus 10,000mAh Picogo is one of the most powerful tiny power banks we’ve seen.

5 reasons why Zen still can’t replace Arc for me — even with Arc stagnating

I’ve been using Arc since its beta days, and it’s been my go-to browser ever since I ditched Google Chrome. It honestly changed the way I work and improved my workflow in a lot of small but meaningful ways. So it’s needless to say, I was pretty disappointed when they announced that feature updates were being dropped and Arc was essentially being put in maintenance mode.

Jeff Williams will retire later this year. | Image: David Paul Morris/Bloomberg via Getty Images Apple has announced that Sabih Khan, the company’s vice president of operations, will take over for Jeff Williams as chief operating officer later this month. In an announcement on Tuesday, Apple said the move is part of a “long-planned succession” that has Williams retiring at the end of this year. Williams, who oversaw the introduction of the iPod and iPhone, as well as the Apple Watch, was appointed  COO in 2015. He had been seen as a potential successor to CEO Tim Cook and was called “Tim Cook’s Tim Cook.” Other possible candidates within Apple reportedly include hardware engineering chief John Ternus and software engineering leader Craig Ferighi.Later this month, Khan will take over the role of COO, while Williams will continue to oversee design and Apple’s health initiative until he retires. In March, Bloomberg reported that Williams is “heavily involved” in a plan to revamp the Health app with an AI-powered health coach that’s rumored to launch next year.The design team, which has been reporting to Williams following the departure of Apple designer Evans Hankey in 2023, will begin reporting directly to Apple CEO Tim Cook later this year after Williams retires, according to Apple’s press release.Khan has worked at Apple for 30 years and became VP of operations in 2019. He’s been leading Apple’s global supply chain that produces more than 200 million iPhones every year, and now faces new challenges as Trump and China square off in a trade war.Williams joined Apple in 1998, where he helped build out the company’s supply chain and “led the effort on Apple Watch over a decade ago and architected the company’s health strategy,” according to the press release.In the press release, Williams writes, “Working with all of the amazing people at this company has been a privilege of a lifetime, and I can’t thank Tim enough for the opportunity, his inspirational leadership, and our friendship over the years… June marked my 27th anniversary with Apple, and my 40th in the industry. Beginning next year, I plan to spend more time with friends and family, including five grandchildren and counting.”Update, July 8th: Added more details about the transition.

I take a lot of screenshots, not just of scenes within games but also of different software and applications. It's a key part of properly explaining anything, after all. The problem is that Windows 10's screenshot feature has never been the most streamlined experience, and it often takes longer to gather the screenshots I need than it does to actually write the article. Windows 11 improved its functionality, but I haven't made the leap to the new OS yet.
