Despite the pandemic, traffic in a lot of cities has more or less returned to normal, so we’re clearly spending a lot of time on the road. A dashcam is a handy tool for recording everything going on in front of your vehicle, whether it’s an erratic driver or a meteor shower raining fireballs from the …

Update, Oct. 15: Amazon’s Prime Day sale officially ended at midnight PT. However, we’re keeping track of the best Prime Day deals still available, and we’ve identified the best Walmart “Big Save” deals, which remain available through the end of day.  Amazon Prime Day is over, but there are still a ton of deals on games, gaming gear and accessories that are worth a …

Thanks to podcasts, TikTok, Twitch and all the other things my dad has never heard of, it seems like everyone needs some sort of microphone these days.

As you might expect, from here on out it’s going to be all Prime Day all the time. For now, one last batch of “standard” deals before the madness begins. First up, an interesting (semirelated) discovery: This is unconfirmed, but I’ve heard from a few folks that Amazon Prime subscribers who purchase a Wyze Band or Wyze Scale ($30 and …
