Zooey Liao/CNET The Prime Visa is easily the best credit card for shopping on Amazon with its high rewards rate and instant Amazon gift card offer. Ahead of the four-day Prime Day event on July 8-11, this card just upped its welcome offer from $150 to $200. It's rare for a credit card to offer a welcome bonus that you don't have to "earn" by spending a certain amount with the card. And while the Prime Visa technically has no annual fee, to get approved for this card, you'll need to be a Prime

Tesla and Google’s Robotaxis Still Really Aren’t That Autonomous

Tesla’s impending robotaxi service comes with a whole list of caveats you’ll need to agree to before you huddle into the backseat of its autonomous vehicles. Or, perhaps they’re not really that autonomous. The first Tesla Model Y Cybercab services will be limited to select participants (including Tesla influencers), but even then drivers can expect to have a “safety monitor” in the driver’s seat.

One of the best things about Summer Game Fest is discovering games that blend some of your favorite classics into something wholly new.

Storage Prices Are Going Nuts, Grab a New Samsung MicroSD Card With Adapter for Early Prime Day

Storage prices, to put it politely, have been all over the place lately. You could get motion sickness watching them rise and fall and rise again, and there’s of course the ever-present threat of tariffs that would suddenly balloon the prices of storage and many other tech goods. So when the roller-coaster of storage pricing rolls downward, it’s smart to grab some while you can.

I don’t buy Samsung’s excuse for not using a silicon-carbon battery in the S25 Edge

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-06 23:00:19

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Samsung just launched the Galaxy S25 Edge, and it’s probably the most polarizing Galaxy phone in years. The new phone brings an impressively thin and light design along with a 6.7-inch display. It also has the S25 Ultra’s 200MP main camera. Unfortunately, this thin and light phone comes with several compromises, such as no telephoto camera and 25W wired charging power. However, the 3,900mAh battery is the Galaxy S25 Edge’s biggest cutback. Samsung could have use

US Supreme Court Upholds Tennessee’s Ban on Gender-Affirming Care for Minors

The US Supreme Court’s conservative majority on Wednesday upheld the state of Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors. In a 6–3 decision in United States v. Skrmetti, the justices found that Tennessee’s law is not unconstitutional. The central issue of the case was whether Tennessee’s ban violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment, which states that the government cannot discriminate against individuals based on their race, gender, or other characteristics.
