- We're starting to see the new Google Home UI on our devices, which has only very slightly evolved from the screenshots we posted back in September. The pause button is now just a tad larger, and the volume card doesn't show any text. The most important change is the stop button, which has been replaced with one showing the cast device's name, and can be used to play content on another device.
When casting music, movies, series, or videos to a speaker or TV, the Google Home app conveniently lets you control it, even if you used another device to initiate playback. Although the interface was handy, it wasn't visual enough. Thankfully, Google is seemingly working on a revamped one for cast media control.
Arlo wireless cameras are known for their reliability, but their relatively high cost can be a roadblock. Thankfully, both two and three-camera bundles are marked down to $316 and $440, respectively, which is about 35% off their MSRP.
Dropbox rolls out 13 new Extensions for video editing, sharing files, and more
Gmail, Workplace by Facebook, Microsoft Teams, Outlook, WhatsApp, and more.
About a year ago, Dropbox introduced Extensions, which allowed third-party apps and services to integrate with your content. For instance, you could sign documents with Adobe Sign and DocuSign directly from Dropbox, without having to worry about transferring files. Dropbox is now announcing 13 new extensions, which will integrate with your documents and folders seamlessly.
Anker's SoundCore and Zolo audio products are known to provide good quality without breaking the bank. The brand's Zolo Liberty true wireless earphones continue to honor that promise and offer an impressive 100 hours of playback time thanks to their charging case. They're usually priced at $100, but you can snatch them for just $60, thanks to the coupon code below.
Smart thermostats offer a lot of added convenience and also help save energy, but maximum laziness comfort is achieved when paired with a smart speaker. Indeed, when used together, you can control the temperature in the room without having to leave your couch or bed. Unfortunately, a Nest Thermostat E and a Google home bundle typically costs about $270, which can be a roadblock for some. However, thanks to the coupon code below, you can pay just $170 for both products, saving you about $100.
At the beginning of the month, Amazon introduced its revamped Fire HD 10 tablet, bringing some improvements such as USB-C connectivity and a faster processor over the previous iteration. The new device is now available on the retailer's site, both in adult and kids editions, selling for $150 and $200, respectively.In addition to the upgraded SoC and port, the new Fire HD 10 tablets are powered by Android Pie, which Amazon brands as Fire OS 7. This may seem outdated given Android 10 is out, but it's a significant improvement compared to other Amazon tablets that are still running Android 7.0 Nougat. The updated version is also said to be 30% faster than the previous one while selling for the same price.In terms of components, the Fire HD 10 offers a 10.1-inch 1080p display, 32 or 64GB of storage, 2GB of RAM, and two 2MP front and rear-facing cameras. Thankfully, there's still a 3.5mm jack, which can be particularly convenient if you want to watch your favorite show during your flight. The all-new edition comes in revised colors, namely black, plum, blue, and white. If you'd rather go ad-free and get yours "without special offers," you'll have to pay an extra $15 and stick with black, which is rather odd as this is only a software limitation. More surprisingly, the edition with no ads won't ship before November 7, which makes it seem like Amazon really wants people to buy the commercially-supported product. Lastly, if you need more storage, there's a 64GB version available for an extra $40, which may not make a lot of sense since there's a built-in MicroSD slot.
When EasilyDo released its email app in 2017, it offered an Inbox alternative for non-Gmail users. It later renamed the software to Edison Mail and gave it some advanced features such as Smart Replies. The app is continuing to evolve, as it just got a new dark mode to stay in the game.
When I bought my Google Home, I wanted to be able to listen to music in different rooms without having to buy several speakers.

When launching "all-new" devices, most companies usually introduce additional features compared to the previous version. However, when Ring unveiled the "all-new" Stick Up cams, the most significant innovation that came with them was their price drop, as the new models are 30% cheaper while offering virtually the same features. If you're interested in getting one, the plug-in, battery, and solar-powered cameras are now selling on Amazon.Like its predecessor, the Stick Up cam features 1080p video, night vision, two-way audio, and motion detection with real-time notification. It's also very versatile as it can be placed on a table or mounted on a wall. You also get the choice between a battery-powered version, a plug-in one, or a model that comes with a solar panel. The first two are priced at a competitive $100, while the latter costs an extra $49. All are available on Amazon, and can also be bundled if you need several cameras — but there are no savings offered when buying several at once.Buy: Amazon (Plug-In Stick Up Cam), (Battery Stick Up Cam), (Solar Stick Up Cam)
