Now is a good time to invest in a tracker if you're sick of losing everything from your wallet to your keys — don't worry, this is a safe space to admit it as I am too. Amazon Prime Day early sales are upon us, including a new all-time low price on Apple's AirTag 4-pack. The set is down to $75 from $99 — a 24 percent discount.
Apple's AirTags can pair with your iPhone or iPad and appear in the Find My app. The devices are about an inch and a quarter in length and width, with a battery that lasts about a year at a time. The device is also water and dust resistant, so you don't have to worry about it getting too gross if it's on your dog's collar, for instance.
Plus, newer iPhone models utilize ultra-wideband technology to give you detailed instructions when locating one. Unfortunately, you'll still need to get a holder if you want to attach an AirTag anywhere, but we have you covered with our guide to the best Apple AirTag accessories for 2024.
If you only need one or two AirTags, head over to the sale on individual ones. Right now, you can pick up one AirTag for $24, down from $29 — a 17 percent discount. This deal is also a record-low price, with you technically able to get three for less than the four-pack (though for another $3, it might be worth getting an extra one).

Paramount and Skydance will merge to create new tech-media giant
https://o.aolcdn.com/images/dims?image_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fs.yimg.com%2Fos%2Fcreatr-uploaded-images%2F2021-08%2F34fd9a00-f5f5-11eb-aef7-e47775b1b342&resize=1400%2C933&client=19f2b5e49a271b2bde77&signature=19103cc954339b244775b817c4b9fd23662cc4d6
David Ellison, the new chief executive of Paramount, has big plans for the media giant and wants to turn it into a "media and technology" company, according to the Financial Times. Ellison is taking over as Paramount's boss after his production studio, Skydance Media, agreed to acquire the company behind massive films and franchises like The Godfather, Top Gun, Mission: Impossible and Star Trek. Skydance served as its financial partner in several projects that include Top Gun: Maverick. According to Reuters, Skydance is paying $2.4 billion to buy National Amusements, the firm that holds a controlling stake in Paramount.
As the Times notes, Paramount struggled financially after investing billions of dollars in its streaming service. Paramount+, however, has yet to turn a profit despite the company's efforts and even though it launched a plan with ads in order to get more people to sign up. Earlier this year, the media giant laid off 800 employees, including Paramount+ workers. But Ellison, son of Oracle founder Larry Ellison, intends to continue investing and working on the streaming service.
He's planning to rebuild Paramount+'s technology and use modern infrastructure to improve its recommendation algorithm that helps users find new shows. In addition, he's planning to work with his father's company to reduce costs and improve efficiency. Jeff Shell, who's going to become the combined company's president, told the Times that Paramount+ is going to team up with other streaming services and enter bundling agreements. The goal is to cut costs and to get customers to keep paying for access. Shell said they've already had calls from "different potential partners" and they're going to consider agreements that will get the service "more scale" and will get them to break even more quickly.
The merger is expected to be finalized next year, after which the new Paramount will be valued at $28 billion.

Early Prime Day deals discount the AirPods Pro to a new low of $169
https://o.aolcdn.com/images/dims?image_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fs.yimg.com%2Fos%2Fcreatr-uploaded-images%2F2024-07%2F97178820-3ded-11ef-bdff-09ff1888a8f0&resize=1400%2C787&client=19f2b5e49a271b2bde77&signature=6ba915bc9ab009bdfbf8cf8d72054fae0a5bfe2c
If you're in the market for some new tech then Amazon's early Prime Day sales have you covered. The latest deal worth shopping is a 32 percent discount on the second-generation Apple AirPods Pro. The sale brings them down to $169 from $249 — a new all-time low price. These earbuds are our choice of best wireless earbuds for iPhone users.
The second-gen AirPods Pro came out in 2022 and are still Apple's newest in the series. We gave them an 88 in our review thanks to an H2 chip that produces solid noise cancellation and an excellent transparency mode. You can also swipe for volume control and access Personalized Spatial Audio. Plus, Apple shrunk the ear tip, added a built-in speaker to the case and switched out the lightning port for a USB-C one.
If you're looking for something a bit cheaper, check out the deal on Apple's third-gen AirPods. They've dropped to a new all-time low of $129 from $169 — $11 cheaper than the sale we saw yesterday. For one-fourth off their sticker price, you get AirPods that are comfortable, offer excellent audio quality and are IPX4 sweat and water resistant. Plus, they have six hours of continual battery life and 30 hours total with the case.

Early Prime Day deals include the Fire TV Stick 4K Max for a record low of $35
https://o.aolcdn.com/images/dims?image_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fs.yimg.com%2Fos%2Fcreatr-uploaded-images%2F2024-07%2Ffa3b2ce0-3ad2-11ef-afef-dc802a328ccc&resize=1400%2C787&client=19f2b5e49a271b2bde77&signature=ad0fca017c576c274f12d22a547146db246aa04f
Amazon Prime Day will officially arrive on July 16, but we're already starting to see good deals pop up. Amazon's Fire TV Stick 4K Max is now just $35 as part of an early Prime Day 2024 deal. That's the lowest price we've ever seen for the company's premium streaming stick — it typically retails for $60 and has been previously discounted to $40.
The Fire TV Stick 4K Max is Amazon's most capable portable streaming device. Just plug it into your TV's HDMI port (or a TV while on vacation), and you'll instantly have access to all of your favorite streaming apps, like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon's own Prime Video. The Fire TV Stick 4K Max supports fast WiFi 6E connectivity, and in addition to its 4K resolution it offers Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and HLG to make your shows and films look their best.
With a 2GHz quad-core processor and 16GB of onboard storage (double what the cheaper Fire TV devices have), the Fire TV Stick 4K Max should be zippy and have enough space to your favorite apps and games. Its WiFi 6E support also makes it a great option for streaming games with Amazon Luna. The bundled Alexa Voice Remote Enhanced gives you instant access to Amazon's virtual assistant, allowing you to search for shows or just ask about the weather.
If you don't need all the bells and whistles of the Fire TV Stick 4K Max, there's also the Fire TV Stick Lite on sale for $15, one of our favorite inexpensive streaming devices. And if you need Ethernet and hands-free Alexa support, Amazon's Fire TV Cube is now just $100 as part of this early Prime Day Deal.

Another great example of a good faith effort at solving a problem that the existing web architecture has made intractable.
Today, every app is its own walled garden for identity so you have go prove yourself from scratch every time. Identity verification is a great business to be in because you get to solve the same problem over and over again without actually addressing the root problem.
What is the root problem? Identity is not a native part of the network. It's a bespoke add-on to every application. #nostr solves this with the #npub because it externalizes identity into the network. Proven once that it's your #npub, you can use with all of the apps that are part of the #nostr network.
