| It's August 26, 2022—National Dog Day! Spend some time today playing with your favorite canine friend and let them know how good they are. No better way to spend a Friday. Oh, and we didn't forget the music. Apple Music | Spotify | | | ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds | | | Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): | | 370 articles, 10 podcasts, 20 press releases, 490 tweets, and 16 YouTube videos | | | 1. HP's New Devices Aim to Make Hybrid Work Better for Everyone | | HP has announced several new devices designed for hybrid work, including the Dragonfly Folio G3 laptop-tablet hybrid, a 34-inch all-in-one desktop, a 4K webcam, and a 4K display. If that all sounds expensive, that's because it is. Heck, the Folio G3 and 4K display are $2,379 and $2,119, respectively. Ooof. | | 2. DJI's New Drone Lets Beginner Pilots Fly With the Best of Them | | DJI has just unveiled the Avata, a new drone designed for user immersion. What does that mean? Well, it's easier to fly than other DJI drones and has full integration with the Goggles 2 headset, which makes pilots feel like they're soaring in the sky as they fly the drone. Hope you're not afraid of heights. | | 3. Google Wants Us to Talk to Its Advanced AI Chatbot | | Google is going to let us regular folks talk to its advanced AI chatbot, LaMDA 2, in addition to inviting us to participate in other experimental technologies. You have to sign up to request an invite, which you should get approval for in the coming weeks. Sounds fun, but let's not ruin another chatbot, please. | | | Sales are down... unless you're Apple | | | A lot of companies sell PCs these days, but most of them are selling fewer than they were near the start of the year. Based on the chart above, PC sales for Lenovo, HP, Dell, Acer, and ASUS are all down, but Apple wanted to stand out (we assume) and be the only company to see sales go up. Good for them. | | | 🔥 Today's Hot Deal | | Back to School shopping is the perfect time to get a new TV for the dorm room. Fortunately, this Hisense 4K 43-Inch Smart Roku TV is $130 off at Best Buy right now, making it $269.99 and a good addition to your media setup. We think you'll love it. | | | | | "Reduce, reuse, recycle." —Evan Killham, Editor | | | 💎 You Know You Want It | | The Clapper was ahead of its time | | You should stop physically interacting with light switches and embrace smart plugs. We suggest buying this four pack from Kasa, then you can control your lights, coffee machine, and more from bed. What's better than that? Few things are, and we know you want these, even if you already have some. | | | "Video on demand" doesn't mean "always on demand" | | Have you noticed a bunch of animated shows and movies are suddenly missing from HBO Max? There's a reason for that, and it's not a great one. Watch Adam Conover break it all down in 60 seconds. | | |
