It’s Prime Day, and these are the best deals we could hunt down

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-07 08:53:18

Greetings, Arsians! It's Prime Day, where we celebrate liberation from our Cybertronian oppressors, the Decepticons, and the mighty Autobot leader who fought for our freedom, Optimus Pr—hmm, one moment. I am once again being told that in spite of the name, Prime Day does not in fact have anything to do with the veneration of Optimus Prime, and is in fact all about buying things. All right, in that case, let's shift gears and engage in some commerce! Our partners over at the Condé mothership hav

macOS Tahoe 26 beta 3 makes tabs less confusing

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-08-07 12:58:50

One of the most common complaints in macOS Tahoe 26 betas 1 and 2 was the new tab UI in apps like Safari and Terminal, which added a black bar to the bottom of inactive tabs. In beta 3, Apple seems to have reversed course. Whether it was intentional or a bug on Apple’s part, many users had trouble quickly identifying the active tab. The low contrast between the selected tab and the rest of the UI, combined with that black underline on the non-active tabs, led to confusion, with some thinking th

The 5 Best Prime Day Action Camera Deals for Thrill Seekers (2025)

wired.com Scott Gilbertson 2025-08-07 12:14:20

The Insta360 Go 3S (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is an action camera with an escape pod. In action camera mode, it looks like the Ace Pro above, complete with flip-up screen, but then you can also pull out the tiny little camera itself and shoot with just that. The case will continue to act as a remote monitor if you want it, but I find I rarely use it this way. The beauty of the little camera pod is the extremely strong magnetic mounting system which will stick to just about anything metal, making t

The Download: China’s winning at advanced manufacturing, and a potential TikTok sale

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2025-08-09 20:10:00

In 2013, a trio of academics showed convincing evidence that increased trade with China beginning in the early 2000s and the resulting flood of cheap imports had been an unmitigated disaster for many US communities, destroying their manufacturing lifeblood. The results of what they called the “China shock” were gut-wrenching: the loss of 1 million US manufacturing jobs and 2.4 million jobs in total by 2011.

If in retrospect all that seems obvious, it’s only because the research by David Autor, an MIT labor economist, and his colleagues has become an accepted, albeit often distorted, political narrative these days: China destroyed all our manufacturing jobs! Though the nuances of the research are often ignored, the results help explain at least some of today's political unrest. It’s reflected in rising calls for US protectionism, President Trump’s broad tariffs on imported goods, and nostalgia for t
