Amazon announced new Fire HD 10 tablets at the end of last month and now it seems the company is trying to get rid of previous models in a one-day closeout sale. The main device is the 64GB, 2019 Fire HD 10, which is nearly half off at $96. That’s even better than its Prime Day price of $100 that we saw back in June, and considering the 2021 version of the tablet isn’t too different, this is a good way to get one of the most capable Fire tablets for less.

The 2019 model and the latest Fire HD 10 have a lot in common: both have 10.1-inch 1080p touchscreens, although the new version’s is 10 percent brighter, and both run on 2.0GHz octa-core processors. The max amount of built-in storage you can get on either is 64GB, but both can be expanded with a microSD card slot. The 2019 version can hold up to 512GB of storage while the new model has a 1TB capacity. Both also have a 12-hour estimated battery life and both charge via USB-C.

Arguably the biggest differences between the two are in design and RAM. The 2021 model has a slightly more refined design with thinner bezels, and it comes in new colors as well as configurations like the “Productivity bundle,” which includes one year of Microsoft 365 and a keyboard case. Also, the previous version had 2GB of RAM while the new model has 3GB. 

The increased RAM will likely make the biggest difference in the overall experience of the new Fire HD 10 compared to its predecessor. But if you’re willing to skip that extra gigabyte of memory and the other small upgrades, the 2019 Fire HD 10 remains a solid budget tablet.

Yamaha may not be one of the first names that comes to mind when discussing earbuds or headphones. But the company has a number of models under its belt, ranging from affordable to premium and pricey. Following its TW-E3A true wireless earbuds, Yamaha has announced the TW-E3B: a set that it describes as its smallest and lightest option yet. 

While that may be true, based on the product images, the TW-E3B still has considerable size compared to the truly tiny options like Jabra’s Elite 3 and Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 2. Nevertheless, they’re 25 percent smaller than the TW-E3A, which is an improvement. Besides the size, debossed logos and charging indicator lights on the case, the overall look of the new model is quite similar to that of it’s predecessor. There are more color options available on the E3B, but overall, Yamaha didn’t opt for a complete redesign here.

Battery life is the same: six hours on the buds with three additional charges in the case for 24 hours total. The new version is still IPX5 rated for water and sweat resistance while on-board controls return to assist with audio playback, calls and activating your chose voice assistant. Yamaha brought back Listening Care, a feature that the company says will still give you “full-range sound” at lower volumes to help preserve your hearing. Like the TW-E3A, the TW-E3B works with Yamaha’s app for Android and iOS that gives you a degree of customization for certain settings. 

The TW-E3B will be available in late October for $99.95 — $30 less than the TW-E3A’s debut price. When it arrives, you’ll be able to choose from black, grey, green, blue, pink and purple color options. The TW-E3A is still available at a discount, going for $49.95. That’s less than half of the original asking price of $129.95.

The money will provide restitution to passengers after immigration agents boarded buses.

Samsung wants you to increase your freezer’s temperature to lower our collective carbon footprint, and it has enlisted Vanilla Ice’s help to convince you. The rapper has re-released his 1990 hit song Ice Ice Baby as Reduce Your Ice, Ice Baby, both to call on everyone to adjust their freezer’s temp and to promote its new Bespoke Refrigerator range. “Turn down the freeze, and I’ll glow. Jus’ one degree, I raise the temp like a vandal, climate friendly, wax a chump like a candle,” Vanilla Ice raps in the song. 

Based on a study the tech giant conducted using European Commission data, if every household in Europe alone increases its freezer’s temperature by one degree Celsius, it could lower humanity’s carbon emissions by over a million tons annually. The company says that’s equivalent to the amount of carbon dioxide emitting by over 217,000 passenger vehicles being driven for an entire year. That’s also equivalent to the yearly energy usage of over 120,000 homes combined. While it’s hoping to convince you to adjust your freezer’s temperature a bit, it does have a recommended minimum setting of -17 degrees Celsius or 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit.

As for the fridge Samsung is promoting, the new Bespoke Refrigerator has a modular design with interchangeable panels in 14 different colors and a range of finishes. The company says it could help reduce waste, because you’ll be able to upgrade the fridge in the future instead of replacing it completely. You can see the fridge in Vanilla Ice’s ’90s style music video for Reduce Your Ice, Ice Baby below.
