As cordless tool batteries get more compact, lighter, and more efficient, tools that used to be impractical to run on batteries have been increasingly popular. The DeWalt 20-volt double bevel compound miter saw has everything you need to cut molding, railing parts, and framing and you can run it where an extension cord isn’t practical. This saw is on sale at Lowe’s for $499 during Labor Day weekend, 28% off its regular price. Why this DeWalt saw is worth buying during Labor DayDeWalt makes the best corded compound miter saw on the market as well, so it’s not surprising that its cordless version is just as good.

Proton Mail is a privacy-focused mail service that strips trackers from messages, maintains zero-access encryption (meaning Proton can't read or hand over the content of your emails), and offers end-to-end encryption between Proton mailboxes. If you're a Proton user, there are a handful of other hacks you should know to maximize these privacy features and make sending and receiving emails as seamless as possible. Proton Mail is free to use if you have just one email address, but storage is limited to just 500 MB, which will fill up fast if you are receiving messages with large attachments. You can upgrade to a Plus subscription for $4 per month to get 15 GB of storage—the same amount available to most Google users—but if you don't want to pay anything, you can at least double your limit to...

On Wednesday, Apple will finally host its big fall event, and we will likely get our first look at the Apple Watch Series 12, iPhone 18 Pro, and iPhone Ultra, Apple's first foldable iPhone.

While we won't know the answers to those questions until Apple officially confirms them during the event, here's a look at what readers think will happen. Question 1: Which product will Apple discuss first? The rumors strongly predict that Apple will announce new iPhones and a new Apple Watch on Wednesday, but there's always the possibility of more devices as well. Apple may release new AirPods—with or without embedded cameras—...

Amazon’s Labor Day 2026 sale has pushed several over-ear headphones we already recommend to much better prices, from sub-$100 noise-canceling models to premium options from Sony, Bose, Apple, and Sennheiser. The now $198 Sony WH-1000XM5 are the ones I’d look at first, especially since the newer XM6 cost twice as much.

For me, the top priority has always been a secure fit—which is exactly why I've gravitated toward wraparound designs like the Shokz OpenRun models. I like the safety perks of open-ear, bone-conduction listening too: being able to hear traffic, cyclists, and other runners is more important than hearing my music, personally. Unfortunately, that means I've lived with a serious trade-off in sound quality. There are certain stretches of my city runs that my open-ear headphones just can't cut through. Still, every time I've tried a noise-cancelling option, I've always found some other dealbreaker with comfort, fit, or safe...
