Top-of-the-line models cost a pretty penny, but they can climb slopes and handle very large yards (we're talking acres of grass). While early robot lawn mowers required you to lay down a boundary wire to prevent them from wandering out of your yard, each of mowers listed here use advanced navigation technology that eliminates the need for any wires.
The good news is that we've already spotted some great deals on robot lawn mowers ahead of Amazon's Prime Day sale, and we expect there will be more when the sale actually gets underway on July 8.
The LawnMaster OcuMow is well-suited to smaller yards—up to 1/6 of an acre or 7,260 square feet—and it doesn't require a boundary wire. You can pick one up ahead of Prime Day at a 19% discount at Amazon, bringing its final price to just $650.
Anthbot says its Genie 600 robot lawn mower uses AI to avoid obstacles as it mows lawns up to .22 acres (9,583 square feet). And since it relies on GPS technology for navigation, it doesn't require a boundary wire. Amazon is offering a 20% discount on the mower, bringing its final price down to $799.

The MSI MAG 321CUP (catchy!) was already something of a budget design, at least in the very specific subcategory of 4K OLED monitors, at $900. With a $150 discount it's cheaper than any 4K OLED gaming monitor I've seen, at least in new condition. It has a pretty standard array of specs for OLEDs at this point, including 165Hz of refresh and .03ms response time. That's not the fastest in the world even for OLEDs, but at 3840×2160 resolution on its curved panel, it'll push your PC to the limit on the newest games at the highest settings, no matter what's under the hood.
With DisplayPort and double HDMI inputs, this monitor is a great pick if you're the kind of PC gamer who also has an Xbox or PlayStation sitting around. And with a USB-C port that can handle video and 98 watts of power delivery, it's also a good companion to a gaming laptop. It really can do it all, including give you a little peace of mind thanks to a 3-year burn-in warranty on that dispaly panel.
Amazon is showing this as a recent low price for this particular model, but there's no time limit on the sale. I get the feeling that this one, or something substantially similar, will pop up during Amazon Prime Day…but I doubt you'll find a much better price on a name brand.

According to Windows Latest, Microsoft has created a 15 megabyte JSON file with information about which apps should end up in which category. That's right—pretty much every app on the Microsoft Store has been assigned a number, with 0 indicating Productivity apps, 1 indicating Social apps, 2 indicating Creative apps, and so on.
As soon as you have at least three apps that belong to the same category, they will automatically be grouped together in the new Start Menu. The ranking of the apps will depend on how often you use them, so the apps in a category won't be sorted in an alphabetical order.
At the moment, it doesn't look like Microsoft is going to give us the option to rename categories or add our own, so we'll just have to accept the company's categorization method… for better or worse.

If you can give the mom in your life a few hours back to do whatever — relaxing, creating, or getting things done— do that. The next best thing is a device that'll help mom make the most of her time. We've rounded up some clever gadgets and useful gear that we've tried out ourselves, so we can confirm they're worthwhile.
