 October Prime Day has come and gone but, as to be expected, there are still a few deals floating around on the internet. This year's fall Prime Day brought a slew of deals across all categories, including tech, and some of those deals haven't expired just yet. There's a chance we see some of these sale prices return in a month when Black Friday comes around, but if you're keen on getting some of your holiday shopping done now, you still have a bit more time. Here are the best Prime Day deals you can still get today.

Baker and the University of Washington's Institute for Protein Design led the team to create fold.it, an online puzzle game in which players actually design synthetic proteins. Originally, the game was coded to allow players to help determine the structure of existing proteins, beginning in 2008. In 2019, the project expanded to allow gamers to actually design new proteins that had never before existed.
The game essentially puts the tools in place for gamers to come up with novel proteins, and when "solved," allows scientists to check them.
"The scientists tested 146 proteins designed by Foldit players in the laboratory. 56 were found to be stable," the university said then. "This finding suggested the gamers had produced some realistic proteins. The researchers collected enough data on four of these new molecules to show that the designs adopted their intended structures."
The game (and the work) continue today. Users can take "chains" of amino acids and fold them up into their proper shape. This shape allows the protein to carry out its assigned function. Examples of proteins include insulin and hemoglobin. Foldit has expanded to take on small molecules that aren't protein, such as aspirin.
"If a protein researcher is struggling with a particular problem, they will create a Foldit puzzle for their problem," the Foldit page says. "By playing Foldit puzzles, you help to solve protein research problems."

Meta AI is beginning a big international rollout. The AI assistant will arrive today in Brazil, Bolivia, Guatemala, Paraguay, Philippines and the UK. It is also slated to debut in Algeria, Egypt, Indonesia, Iraq, Jordan, Libya, Malaysia, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Thailand, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Vietnam and Yemen over the coming weeks, although the company did not offer specific dates for those countries.
This expansion is also adding new language support to Meta AI. Starting today, it is getting support for Tagalog, while Arabic, Indonesian, Thai and Vietnamese will join the assistant "soon." Customers can use the Meta AI assistant on the web or within the company's social media apps: Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger.
The final element of today's announcement is that Meta AI will be launched on Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in the UK and in Australia. The UK launch will only include voice support for now; Meta did not provide a timeline for when UK customers might get the full multimodal capabilities on the glasses.
The EU is a notable absence in this expansion. Meta said this summer that it would not introduce multimodal AI services in the EU due to concerns over regulation in the bloc. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has
