The JBL Xtreme 4 is massive, right at the limit of what I would consider a portable speaker, with powerful sound that can handle a large backyard barbecue party. Right now, it's $130 off during Early Prime Day, bringing its price down to $249.95 (originally $379.95). That's a record low price for this particular speaker, according to price tracking tools. Even though Prime Day doesn't officially start until next week, I doubt this speaker will go any lower in price. I've been using the JBL Xtreme 4 outdoor speaker for months, taking it with me to hang out in my backyard, in my office, and to host soccer games with Street FC. Since I ...

Like many Americans, I bemoan the fact that online shopping hurts local businesses, which can't compete with the convenience of unsustainable perks like "free" two-day Prime shipping. Like many Americans, I still buy a ton of stuff online anyway, because it's sure easier not to have to carry a huge pack of toilet paper home from Aldi (at least, as a New Yorker, I can still be a snob about the fact that I walk to buy groceries). But this also means that, come Prime Day or during the holiday season, I have to deal with a whole lot of cardboard boxes.Some 35 million tons of "containerboard," or cardboard used to make shipping containers like Amazon boxes, is produced in the U.S. each year. By my estimate, at least 10 perc...

If you've been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your home theater setup, the LG 65-inch C5 OLED Evo 4K TV has just hit its best price yet, according to price trackers. It’s now down to $1,696.99 on Amazon, which is a full $1,000 off its original price of $2,696.99. That’s a big drop for a TV that’s only a few months into its release cycle and sits in LG’s premium lineup, just a notch below the G-series. CNET gave it a strong 8.7/10, highlighting its excellent contrast, accurate color, and refined performance, but suggested holding off until the price came down. Well, now it has. In terms of performance, the C5 is built on LG’s...

It’s easy to see why being happy is such a challenge these days. People are working jobs they hate, struggling to pay bills, and living in an increasingly isolated, digitally driven world. And that lack of happiness has real consequences beyond just feeling glum: When you’re unhappy, you’re less productive and less stable, and that sense of powerlessness can quickly become a rut that’s hard to climb out of. And happiness leads to greater stability and productivity, both of which lead to even more happiness.There are steps you can take to break out of the cycle. Some are physical—getting out into nature more, getting more exercise, or socializing with people in person—but you’ve also got the most powerful happiness engine in the universe inside your head. You can use your own mind to trick ...

We know smart glasses can play podcasts and put an AI assistant in your ear, but what if they knew what you were feeling? That's the idea behind Emteq Lab's Sense glasses.
