Samsung's new #YouMake campaign encourages people to customize their phones, smartwatches, and more to suit their styles.
It's April 19, 2022—National Hanging Out Day. Yes, using a dryer is more convenient than hanging clothes outside, but consider doing it at least once today. It's good for the environment, and the fresh air will do us all some good.

1. Samsung's #YouMake Campaign Highlights Customization
|
Samsung is kicking-off its #YouMake campaign to make customizing products easier. Options vary by device, but occasionally go beyond basic color choices, so you don't need to stick with one color for your phone, smartwatch, etc. Sound like your sort of thing? Then get to customizing! |
2. Panic's Handheld Playdate Console Has Started Shipping
|
Playdate, the yellow handheld console with a crank, has finally begun its first round of shipments. It plans to be finished within the next month, though a date for the next round of orders has not been announced yet. If you haven't pre-ordered one yet, you can still do so via the Playdate website for $179. |
3. All US Instagrammers Now Have Product Tagging Capabilities
|
Instagram is rolling out a product tagging feature for all US Instagram users. Essentially, you'll be able to tag a product in your photos, and anyone who clicks on the tag will be able to purchase that product via a third-party sales page or via Instagram itself. Do we expect more impulse buying? You bet! |

People still like Instagram |
|
|
Instagram's user base has shown zero signs of slowing down over the last couple of years, despite the platforms' subtle turn away from being a photo-sharing app. If the latest news about everyone being able to tag products is any indication, the app has interests that lie far beyond simple photos. |

| The Fitbit Sense smartwatch is a massive $100 off on Amazon right now, dropping it to $199.95 for a limited time. If you need a new fitness tracker that can also play the part of an Apple Watch, this is a great option to slap on your wrist. |

Clean pool, happy swimmers |
Owning a big pool is nice and all, but keeping it clean can be a huge pain in the... y'know. So, why not buy something like Maytronics' Dolphin Nautilus Automatic Pool Cleaner, which is exactly what it sounds like. Just gently place it in your pool and let it do its thing while you keep your hands clean. |
Alexa has a new voice command that lets owners plant trees around the world. Simply say "Alexa, grow a tree" and you'll donate $1 to plant a tree through environmental charity organization, One Tree Planted. Nice, Alexa. Very nice. |
