Anker's Soundcore Space A40 is the top recommendation in our guide to the best budget wireless earbuds, as it offers enjoyable sound and a meaty set of features for well under $100. If you're looking to buy a set on the cheap, take note: A new sale on Amazon has dropped the earbuds down to $49, which matches the lowest price we've seen. The earbuds technically have a list price of $100, but they've sold for $59 for most of 2024, so you're saving about $10 here. We last saw this discount about a month ago.
In an amusing bug, Amazon's product page currently lists the earbuds as a "Gildan Unisex-adult Fleece Hoodie Sweatshirt." Why? We have no idea. The correct name appears when you add the pair to your cart, however, so this shouldn't be any cause for alarm. (Unless you really want a new hoodie.) The deal itself is sold by Anker directly and applies to the black model; the blue and white versions are also on sale for $1 more.

The Acer Nitro XV272U V3 offers pretty much everything you could want in a new budget monitor. On top of the 27-inch 2560×1440 resolution, it boasts 180 hertz of refresh and just one millisecond of response time, meaning it's fast enough to make the latest AAA games shine. And it's not some cheap VA panel, either: the in-plane switching (IPS) LCD has enhanced color accuracy, so you can also depend on this screen for photo editing or media production.
The monitor is otherwise pretty basic, with just one DisplayPort 1.2 and one HDMI 2.0 port, plus two standard USB-A ports on the side for easy access to some extra gadgets. But it is packing a standard VESA mount, making this a great choice for a multi-monitor setup.
And though it's marked as refurbished, it's shipping direct from the manufacturer Acer, with a two-year Allstate warranty included in the price. Fear not. This is a killer gaming monitor deal, and it's backed up with fine protection.

A Russian military court sentenced Meta spokesperson Andy Stone in absentia to six years in prison for "publicly defending terrorism," Reuters reports. Stone's lawyer reportedly asked for an acquittal and there are plans to appeal the sentence.
A few months after Russian officials placed him on a wanted list and started a criminal investigation, a Moscow court issued an arrest warrant for Stone on several terrorism-related charges in February. It cited Stone's alleged "promotion of terrorist activities, public calls for terrorist activities, public justification of terrorism or propaganda of terrorism and public calls for extremist activities."
The measure follows Russia's investigative committee opening a probe into Meta in March 2022. It claimed that Stone had incited extremist activity after lifting "a ban on calls for violence against the Russian military on its platforms." Around that time, Stone said Meta was "temporarily" allowing some posts that would have previously been taken down for inciting violence to stay on its platforms, but noted that the company would still outlaw "credible calls for violence against Russian civilians."
In any case, it seems unlikely that Stone will actually spend time behind bars in Russia, unless he were to travel there or to a country that has an extradition treaty with the nation. It's not uncommon for a person to be
