At $114, Google's first-gen Pixel Buds Pro have hit a new best price ever.
While Google's first-gen Pixel Buds Pro have been on the market for a few years now, they still hold up well, and Amazon has them marked down to just $114. This is the lowest price the Pixel Buds Pro have seen, and it makes for a savings of $86 from their regular $200 price. This all-time low price is limited to the Coral colored Pixel Buds Pro, but every color is available at a pretty impressive discount.
The Pixel Buds Pro were Google's flagship earbuds for several years, and while there are newer wireless earbuds on the market, we think the Pixel Buds Pro still stack up against them pretty well. They have ANC with a fit that adapts to your ear shape, ensuring external sounds are blocked out to help you focus on your work or to drop more deeply into your music.
Sound quality is also impressive with the Pixel Buds Pro. They'll outperform much of what you find among the many cheap wireless earbuds on the market, with custom 11mm speaker drivers. They also have Volume EQ, which maximizes audio performance even at high volume levels. This makes the Pixel Buds Pro a great option for kicking back with music, but also for pairing with your laptop or home theater while you watch a movie.
These are also a set of earbuds you can get active with. They're IPX4 water-resistant, so they can withstand sweat during workouts as well as light rain during a run. The Pixel Buds Pro can reach up to 11 hours of continuous listening time on a single battery charge, and with the included charging case you'll get an additional 31 hours of playback. These are great all-purpose earbuds, offering the kind of versatility typically reserved for more expensive options.
If you want the latest and greatest, the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 are out there as well. But if you're looking for some great value in a set of wireless earbuds, the original Pixel Buds Pro are down to $114 at Amazon. This is the lowest price they've ever seen, and it's good for $86 in savings.

Trump Hails $90 Billion in A.I. Infrastructure Investments at Pennsylvania Summit
President Trump visited Pittsburgh on Tuesday to praise companies for investing more than $90 billion in data centers and other energy projects in Pennsylvania, aimed at accelerating the development of artificial intelligence. 'Today's commitments are ensuring that the future is going to be designed, built and made right here in Pennsylvania and right here in Pittsburgh, and I have to say, right here in the United States of America,' Mr. Trump said at the Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit at Carnegie Mellon University. The event was organized by Senator David McCormick, Republican of Pennsylvania, who brought together Trump administration officials and executives from technology and fossil fuel companies, including Amazon Web Services, Anthropic, Google, ExxonMobil and Westinghouse. At the event, the private equity firm Blackstone announced that it would invest $25 billion in new data centers and energy infrastructure, including natural gas power plants. Google said it would invest another $25 billion in data centers and announced a separate $3 billion plan to upgrade two of Pennsylvania's existing hydroelectric dams to produce more electricity. CoreWeave, an A.I. cloud company, said it would invest $6 billion in a large data center near Lancaster, Pa. Trump administration officials have said that winning the artificial intelligence race with China is a top priority. Officials have also said they want to make it easier to approve new natural gas and nuclear power plants to supply the enormous quantities of electricity needed to supply data centers. On his first day in office, Mr. Trump declared a 'national energy emergency,' saying the country did not have enough power to meet its growing needs for A.I. and ordering agencies to roll back environmental rules. Critics have said the Trump administration, by cutting research funding and gutting scientific agencies, has made it easier for China to catch up to the United States in the A.I. race. On Monday, the chipmaker Nvidia also said that the administration had lifted restrictions on selling certain types of A.I. chips to China. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Google partners with Youngkin and offers AI training courses to Virginia job seekers
RESTON, Va. (AP) — Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced on Tuesday that Google will partner with his administration to provide free and low-cost artificial intelligence certification courses to Virginians as part of his office's ongoing effort to connect citizens to new jobs amid changes to the state's economy. The partnership, which he has described as an AI career launchpad, will provide Google-sponsored AI training courses for up to 10,000 Virginians at any given time, officials said at Google's office in the northern part of the state. The training opportunities will be listed on a job website that Youngkin launched earlier this year, in response to significant layoffs among federal workers by the Trump administration, including many workers from Virginia. 'All fields, all career movements somewhere along the way, are going to incorporate this next generation of technology,' Youngkin said at the news conference. The initiative comes with unemployment rising in Virginia, which has roughly 20,400 continued unemployment claims, state Secretary of Labor George' Bryan' Slater said after the news conference. Roughly 2,800 people initially filed unemployment claims during the first week of July, which is about 6.1 percent higher than the previous week. The AI webpage will feature the free courses as well as some low-cost learning opportunities, ranging 'from beginner friendly courses on AI fundamentals and practical workplace applications of artificial intelligence to bootcamps and degree programs offered by Virginia's leading-edge community colleges and universities,' according to the governor's office. Nicole Overley, commissioner of Virginia Works, said businesses have told her office that AI proficiency has become increasingly necessary in their industries. She said the training would help Virginians become competitive in the job markets where these very businesses are hiring. Overly confirmed that the training courses won't cost taxpayers anything and are being donated by Google. Bronagh Friel, head of partnerships at Google, said she was proud of the collaboration with the state. 'Google is committed to championing economic growth and opportunity in Virginia,' she said. ___

The $90 billion AI investment Trump announced is an economic and national-security win
Today's announcement by President Donald Trump that America's biggest companies are investing $90 billion to turn Pittsburgh into a major hub for AI tech is a grand slam. It touches all the bases of Trump's economic agenda — manufacturing, energy, tech supremacy — and it also addresses national security. Love it or hate it, artificial intelligence is here to stay. The capability of the technology is growing rapidly, and will eventually make its way into every corner of our lives — if it hasn't already. Advertisement Yet AI requires massive data centers with powerful computers running around the clock. These machines, and the air conditioners to cool them, have huge energy demands. By one estimate, data centers just in the United States used 167 terawatts of electricity in 2023. That's enough to power all of America for more than two weeks. And that need for energy will only grow. Data-center electricity usage is expected to double in the next five years. Advertisement This isn't just a question of playing with Grok. The military and intelligence applications of AI are extraordinary, which is why China is trying to corner the market on this field. Drone warfare, threat assessment, missile defense and counter-espionage — the future of conflict will be driven by artificial intelligence. Beijing is already building a network of nuclear-power plants meant to radically increase China's power capacity. Advertisement In fact, China's electricity generation soared more than eight-fold from about 1,240 terrawatt-hours in 1999 to more than 10,000 last year. US generation has mostly stood still, at about 4,000 TWh, over that time. Which is why today's Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit at Carnegie-Mellon University is so important. Leaders from industry joined scientists and policy makers to reach common ground on the steps ahead. Google, ExxonMobil and other companies are committing tens of billions of their dollars to build data centers, energy and power infrastructure, and to expand workforce training in AI. Advertisement Western Pennsylvania is an apt site for this: The first oil well was sunk there in 1859, and the coal and steel industries that built America's bridges and buildings sprung up there, too. More recently, the fracking revolution has helped the United States become energy-independent for the first time in years. Meanwhile, this new initiative will bring tens of thousands of jobs to an area hit hard by the transfer of industry overseas.

Josh Shapiro and Sens. Dave McCormick and John Fetterman deserve shared bipartisan kudos for working together and with industry to make this tremendous project possible. Three cheers for innovation and unshackling American potential!
