Remarkable’s refurbished Paper Pro bundle is hundreds off
Color E Ink tablets aren’t usually affordable. I’m not going to say that Woot’s price on a refurbished “good as new” Remarkable Paper Pro is cheap, but it’s pretty fantastic compared to buying one new. Normally $629 just for the tablet, you can get a bundle that includes the big 11.8-inch Paper Pro plus $139 worth of brand new accessories (a Mosaic Weave Book Folio and a Marker Plus) for $509 if you buy it used. The bundle comes with a 90-day warranty, which pales in comparison so Remarkable’s own one-year warranty on refurbished devices. Then again, the same refurbished bundle on the company’s site is $649. Remarkable Paper Pro bundle (refurbished) Includes Mosaic Weave Book Folio Cover and Market Plus with eraser. Where to Buy: $818 $509 at Woot It’s nice to have a color E Ink so close in price to Remarkable’s newer Paper Pure, a 10.3-inch black and white E Ink tablet for note-taking....

Remarkable Paper Pro bundle (refurbished)

Where to Buy:
$818 $509 at Woot
It’s nice to have a color E Ink so close in price to Remarkable’s newer Paper Pure, a 10.3-inch black and white E Ink tablet for note-taking. While many of their features overlap, you may prefer not just the color capabilities of the Paper Pro, but also its front light. The Paper Pure doesn’t have a light at all. One thing to keep in mind about the Pro’s color-capable screen is that it uses Gallery display tech, which has a slow refresh rate because it renders colors instead of using filters like Kaleido displays. window.HYPE_DESK_CONFIG = { productImageUrl: “https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/06/8compressed.jpg”, productImageAlt: “Bambu Lab X2D”, productTitle: “Bambu Lab X2D”, shortDescription: “A serious 3D printer that’s more powerful and easier to use”, longDescription: “If you are serious about 3D printing, it’s time to upgrade to Bambu Lab’s X2D.

More deals to consider
If you’re hunting for a sleek 33-inch soundbar with wired satellite speakers and a wireless subwoofer that won’t cost you much, Vizio’s 5.1 SE system is $149.99 at Walmart (down from $228). The soundbar can easily mount to the bottom of most recent Vizio TVs without extra accessories, but its low-profile design won’t look out of place even if you have to set it on your entertainment center. It supports Bluetooth and eARC over HDMI so you won’t have to power it on every time you turn on the TV. The company claims the system can provide Dolby Atmos and DTS X spatial audio, though it’s likely simulated since its included speakers don’t tilt upwards to bounce sound off your ceiling.
Humble has rolled out its fresh batch of games for Choice subscribers. Those who subscribe for $14.99 monthly can get Octopath Traveler 2, Citizen Sleeper 2, Indika, Life is Strange: Double Exposure, and more — all of which you keep even if you choose to cancel. Choice members get a new mix of free games like these every month, as well as discounts on purchases made through Humble’s store. This includes games redeemable on Steam, plus Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 digital t**les. In many cases, the discount knocks Nintendo games down to the best prices available on the web.
While we’re on the topic of video games, Bungie’s Marathon first-person extraction shooter just launched its second season of content. There’s an free trial happening now through June 9th that lets you play all that the game offers. If you like what you see, there are plenty of deals happening across all platforms the game is available on. The most affordable deal is at Fanatical, where you can get the Steam t**le for $25.59 (originally $39.99) without the need for an offer code. The digital download on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X is $27.99.

OneDrive is the default choice when it comes to Windows backup, not because it is better than others, but because Windows keeps putting it in front of you. Once you enable OneDrive, it feels too convenient to question. I've used it from day one, but as my workflow expanded, my storage needs grew too.

Ayaneo's new budget line, Konkr, has been spending the summer drip-feeding reveals of the Pocket Advance before it went on sale in early August. It debuted at an early-bird price of $89 for the 3GB model and $109 for 4GB alongside a unique pitch: PS2 emulation in a Game Boy Advance-shaped shell. However, there's a pretty big problem with that: it can't really do PS2 emulation at all. What it does instead, though, is play Game Boy Advance games better than anything else at this price, on a screen that is an exact four-times match for the original hardware, just like the Ayaneo Pocket Micro had.

The Note 17 Pro Max also has a photochromic design, which is revealed by sunlight. The 9,210mAh dual-cell battery in the new Redmi Note 17 Pro Max is the biggest that Xiaomi has fit in any phone it's sold in Europe - and remarkably, in some other markets the phone comes with an even larger 10,000mAh single-cell design.As you can probably guess, this is a silicon-carbon battery either way, one with a high 16 percent silicon content, meaning it's more energy-dense than most. It's allowed Xiaomi to fit this huge battery into a phone that's basically the same size as an iPhone 17 Pro Max, but 8g lighter and fractionally thinner too.Xiaomi says the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max should give you "worry-free use" for up to three days, …Read the full story at The Verge.

Immich has a hidden feature you’re not using, and it changed the way I share photos with family

After a large family event or outing, I would often be hounded for any photos that I or others had taken, and the usual process of sharing those photos involved sharing large-ish files over email, with a Google Drive link, or if they were on my phone, sent through iMessage, which rips through everyone's storage. I recently started self-hosting Immich to replace my monthly storage subscriptions, and while the experience has been great for me individually, it's arguably been better for my friends and family who don't even store their own photos on my server. Sharing photos with one link has been a game-changer, and it's one of Immich's most underrated features.

This open-source ESP32 touch synth just got a massive upgrade, and it’s only €35 to make
The cool thing about checking out ESP32 projects is that they will sometimes evolve. We'll sometimes see a project reappear after a year or two with a brand new look and design, and sometimes people will get a new version out within a month of releasing their first iteration.

For a little while now, the Samsung Galaxy Z range has been the only product that can come with One UI 9 pre-installed out of the box. However, that's about to change. While some of Samsung's Galaxy range can install One UI 9 as part of an update, the newly announced S26 FE will be the first one in the series to come with it as default. Plus, a feature that was previously a Samsung Z exclusive is now on its way to debut on the Galaxy range.

The Galaxy S26 FE holds few surprises. The Fan Edition phones are rarely Samsung's most exciting launches of the year, but the new Galaxy S26 FE feels especially familiar. Hardware-wise, little has changed since the S25 FE launched 12 months ago, and the upgrades have mostly come in the form of software tricks which themselves were already seen on this year's previous Samsung flagships.At its core, this is the same phone as last year's. The 6.7-inch OLED display, 4,900mAh battery, and triple rear camera are all identical. The changes are few: The chipset has been given its annual upgrade, and the 12-megapixel selfie camera is a little wider, with an 85-degree field of view, up …Read the full story at The Verge.

Your honor, We all know that the woman who sits before you is tired. Just look at the circles under her eyes. The novelty Pride and Prejudice T-shirt and Muji sweatpants that pass for pajamas. The unkempt, banana clip hairstyle that says "I really did wake up like this." But she's doing her best. And that's why she deserves this court's time and attention, to correct the injustice of last night's sleep score.To be clear, my client thinks the sleep score assigned by her Pixel Watch is generally fair. Should she go to bed before 10:30PM most nights? Sure. Dinging points for a late-night Instagram scrolling session is reasonable. She's rece …Read the full story at The Verge.

If you're on the hunt for an open-source alternative to Microsoft 365, you may want to give LibreOffice a try. The Document Foundation has been spending some time unpacking why Microsoft's strategies are harmful to digital sovereignty, while also teaching people how it does things differently. Now, The Document Foundation has released LibreOffice 26.8, which contains a new UI for the Notebookbar, a new tool for setting your word spacing, and a huge serving of absolutely zero AI tools.
