Amazon’s fall Prime Day event is now less than two weeks away, but we’re already seeing prices drop on everything from chargers to Apple devices. One notable deal, especially if you need a streaming stick before October 7th, is on Amazon’s Fire TV Stick 4K Max. Normally $59.99, right now you can buy it for just $39.99 at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, which is just $5 shy of its July Prime Day price.

Amazon’s latest streaming stick is faster than its predecessor with Wi-Fi 6E and double the storage. It also now displays widgets and artwork when idle while continuing to offer Alexa integration. Read our review.

Where to Buy:

The 4K streaming device is even better than its top-notch predecessor, building upon it with faster performance, Wi-Fi 6E support, and double the storage (16GB). At the same time, it continues to deliver an excellent viewing experience thanks to support for Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, and HDR 10 Plus. On top of that, the device retains deep integration with Amazon Alexa, letting you make precise commands like “Alexa, turn to ESPN on Sling TV” using the included Alexa Voice Remote.

What makes the Fire TV Stick 4K Max even more interesting is that it’s more than just a streaming device. The Max lets you turn your screen into a smart display, letting you control compatible smart home devices and quick glance at reminders, your calendar, weather updates, and more. It even lets you turn your screen into a piece of home decor, one that showcases over 2,000 works of fine art, family photos, or even custom AI-generated images created through Alexa.

The Ring Battery Doorbell Plus is $70 off.

With Halloween and Amazon’s fall Prime Day just around the corner, now’s a great time to grab a video doorbell. They make it easy to watch over trick-or-treaters and keep tabs on Prime Day deliveries and right now, one of our favorites — the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus — is on sale for $79.99 ($70 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which is its best price to date. 

Ring Battery Doorbell Plus

This wireless Ring doorbell has great video quality, head-to-toe view, and speedy response times for a battery doorbell. It works with Amazon Alexa and can send alerts for people and packages with a Ring Home subscription.

Where to Buy:

The Ring Battery Doorbell Plus is top pick for battery-powered doorbells, offering sharp 1536p video with a head-to-toe view that makes it easy to spot packages on the porch floor other doorbells might miss. It’s also the most responsive video doorbell our reviewer has tested, pulling up live feeds in about half the time of others. 

Beyond that, the doorbell supports radar-based motion detection, which allows for more accurate notifications compared to previous models. It also retains support for color night vision, pre-recorded Quick Replies, and two-way talk, and, for $4.99 a month, you also get bonus features like package and people alerts. And because it works with Amazon Alexa, you can pull up the live feed on an Echo Show or Fire TV with just your voice for free

This post was originally published on this site.

This is Sources by Alex Heath, a newsletter about AI and the tech industry, syndicated just for The Verge subscribers once a week.

Building humanoid robots is Meta’s next “AR size bet,” a top executive told me recently. That suggests the company plans to spend billions of dollars on the effort.

During a recent conversation at Meta’s headquarters, CTO Andrew Bosworth said he stood up a robotics “research effort” earlier this year at the direction of CEO Mark Zuckerberg. The team’s existence has been reported on before, but Bosworth hadn’t discussed its strategy in-depth until our interview.

“I don’t think the hardware is the hard part,” he …
