The Prime Reasons to Avoid Amazon

news.ycombinator.com The New Oil 2026-02-08 11:28:15

Amazon’s now-legendary “Prime Day” is July 8-11. Much like Black Friday or Cyber Monday, this means sales on lots of items on Amazon’s vast marketplace, and as such many people flock to the giant’s website to get sweet deals on everything from computers to small kitchen appliances and more. While many of us are feeling the financial crunch more than ever, I urge you, dear reader, to resist the allure. I don’t typically have strong opinions about where people chose to shop or how they decide to s

So Long, ‘Anthem,’ See Ya In the Skies

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2026-02-08 09:50:55

In February 2019, Dragon Age and Mass Effect developer BioWare released Anthem, a third-person shooter about human Freelancers donning armored Javelin suits to fight monsters and various factions. After seven years, EA is permanently taking the live-service game down on January 12, 2026, and with it, a chapter in the studio’s modern era is forever gone. To know Anthem is to know its tumultuous life; the game famously suffered from crunch and internal struggles owing to BioWare’s knowledge of se

Log your weight in Apple Health quickly and cheaply with this iPhone-compatible smart scale

After my last WiFi-enabled smart scale broke and refused to connect to the Internet anymore, I sought something simpler and cheaper to replace it. The old scale had all sorts of fancy service integrations that I never used. I just wanted something that would track my weight and report the measurements to the Health app on my iPhone.

Just because you’re a work-from-home employee does not mean you need to be working specifically from home. You can feasibly work from anywhere that has an internet connection if you’d be so inclined. What stops me from getting out more often is that I don’t find myself as productive as when I’m at my desk at home.
