Gizmodo6 days ago
During Amazon Prime Day, nearly every smartwatch is on sale but they're not all equal in value or functionality. At one end of the continuum, you have brand names like the Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch, and at the other, premium devices for serious athletes like Garmin's Fenix series.
If you're aiming to catch the day's top deal, the Garmin Fenix 7 Pro Solar is the one to… watch. It's now nearly three times less expensive than the newest Fenix 8 Pro Solar which retails for $1,199. Today, $499 is the lowest price the Fenix 7 Pro Solar has ever been (down from $899), with the offer being only for Prime members.

The Power Sapphire solar charging lens uses the sun's rays to deliver weeks of extra battery life in smartwatch mode: This enables you to embark on long hikes or multi-day trips without worrying about losing power.
Regardless of whether you are a runner, cyclist, swimmer, hiker, skier, golfer, or even a strength trainer, the Garmin Fenix 7 Pro Solar has you covered. For runners, it incorporates advanced running dynamics for runners such as wrist-based running power and new hill score and endurance score metrics which enable you to quantify your progress on those uphill climbs and estimate your overall stamina across sports. Cyclists get advanced GPS tracking and performance metrics while swimmers get better stroke detection and pool metrics. Golfers get the watch preloaded with maps for thousands of courses worldwide and skiers get resort maps for the world.
What's more, it features multi-band GPS with SatIQ technology for precise positioning without excessive battery use. TopoActive maps lead you on outside adventures and the Up Ahead guide cues ensure that you don't miss a turn. The watch also has upgraded sensors and health monitoring functions including heart rate variability status, Pulse Ox for high-altitude acclimation, and advanced sleep monitoring.
Garmin's morning report and training readiness functions distill your training and health data into easier interpretation so you'll have a clear idea of just how prepared you are to tackle your next session.

Trump's $100B AI Shockwave: Nvidia Back in China, Coal Back on the Grid

The Trump administration is preparing a full-court press on artificial intelligence, with a major policy address scheduled for July 23 titled Winning the AI Race. It's expected to be Trump's most detailed take on the technology to date. The event is backed by White House AI and crypto advisor David Sacks and his All-In podcast co-hosts. Behind the scenes, a sweeping AI action plan is nearing completionbuilt with heavy industry inputand could soon be cemented by executive order. The blueprint focuses on cutting red tape, expanding energy access for data centers, and getting federal buy-in on a more streamlined, pro-growth regulatory regime. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with NVDA. One of the headline shifts: the U.S. now plans to allow AI chipmakers to resume some exports to China. That includes Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)'s H20 chips, a move seen as a significant win for CEO Jensen Huang, who has been openly critical of prior export bans. Huang met privately with Trump in Washington last week, where discussions reportedly focused on boosting U.S. AI competitiveness. For Nvidia and AMD, this could reopen a multi-billion-dollar channel that had been shut off earlier this year. The reversal comes amid growing concern over China's rapid AI developmenthighlighted by DeepSeek's surprisingly cheap R1 model that raised eyebrows across Wall Street in January. Energy is also taking center stage. With AI data centers projected to more than double their share of U.S. electricity demand by 2035from 3.5% to 8.6%the Trump team is calling for expanded use of coal, gas, and nuclear power. Earlier this year, Trump helped broker a $100 billion data center investment involving SoftBank, Oracle, and OpenAI. Meanwhile, a controversial bid to preempt state AI laws for a decade was ultimately stripped from the recent tax package, but not before it gained vocal support from tech investors like Marc Andreessen and Joe Lonsdale. Taken together, Trump's AI agenda is shaping up to be aggressive, industry-led, and laser-focused on outpacing China. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

TNB Tech Minute: Trump Touts Billions in Investments to Create AI Hub in Pennsylvania - Tech News Briefing

Full Transcript This transcript was prepared by a transcription service. This version may not be in its final form and may be updated. Julie Chang: Here's your afternoon TNB Tech Minute for Tuesday, July 15th. I'm Julie Chang for The Wall Street Journal. President Trump touted billions of dollars in investments from some of the world's biggest companies to create an artificial intelligence hub in Pennsylvania. Trump made the announcement during an AI and energy summit at Carnegie Mellon University earlier today. Google said it would put $25 billion into data centers and related infrastructure in the state and the surrounding region over the next two years. Private equity firm Blackstone promised another $25 billion and AI startup CoreWeave announced a $6 billion investment. Plus, Apple has struck a deal with MP Materials to buy $500 million worth of rare earth magnets. The move helps the iPhone maker expand its US supply chain. MP will supply Apple with magnets it produces in a Texas facility and use recycled materials processed at a site MP will build in California. Such magnets are used in iPhones as well as audio equipment and microphones inside various Apple products. MP said shipments are expected to begin in 2027. Finally, Tesla's VP of Sales, Service, and Delivery in North America has left the company. That's according to people familiar with the matter. Troy Jones had been with the electric car maker for 15 years. It's the latest high-level departure at Tesla. Less than a month ago top aid to CEO Elon Musk and top AI executive Omead Afshar left the company. Tesla has been facing declining sales and shrinking margins amid increased competition and pressure on its brand stemming from Musk's stint in politics. And that wraps up your TNB Tech minute for today. Join us again tomorrow morning for your next quick tech update.

Elon, Inc: Remembering Musk's Political Rise

On this week's episode of Elon, Inc., host Max Chafkin and Bloomberg News reporters Dana Hull and Kurt Wagner chat about Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company, xAI. The endeavor just debuted its new Grok 4 model on the heels of an antisemitism controversy, but Musk sees a brighter future for his creation, claiming it might discover 'new physics' one day. Before that happens, though, the buzziest feature of the model is its AI companions—including a pigtailed and corseted anime character. Musk introduced Grok 4 as news dropped that one of his other companies, SpaceX, would invest in xAI, and that another company he happens to run, Tesla, might follow suit (pending a shareholder vote). Our guests discuss what exactly it means when a rocket company and a car company invest in another company that's making AI girlfriends, especially when all those companies happen to be run by the richest man in the world. Then Wagner takes over the hosting chair to interview New York Times reporter Teddy Schleifer about the role Musk and his Silicon Valley billionaire pals have played in building the Trump administration, starting before the Republican took office. The conversation is the first in a summer series in which our Elon, Inc. panelists interview Musk reporters about the stories we're jealous we didn't write first. Schleifer recounts the weeks following Election Day last year, when Musk embedded himself at Trump's home at Mar-a-Lago in an effort to influence the future president's plans. As candidates for top cabinet positions began swinging by the Florida club, they found themselves seated across from Musk's loyal aides. Wagner and Schleifer also discuss the constantly evolving relationship between Musk and Trump, and whether Musk will still be involved in politics when the year comes to a close.
