One of the sleekest OLED gaming monitors around is 35 percent off
There are so many QD-OLED gaming monitors to choose from, depending on what size, resolution, refresh rate, and design you're happy to commit to. It's not easy to find a monitor that balances all those factors, but a big discount can shoot one toward the top of the list. Sony's InZone M10S is a 27-inch 1440p QD-OLED with a whopping 480Hz refresh rate, and it's 35 percent off right now at Amazon, selling for $714.99 (originally $1,099.99). For those who are pursuing a minimalist setup, there might not be a better choice.
The M10S features a super-thin design and a versatile stand that takes up very little desk space. The circular stand is only about the size of a CD, on which the monitor can swivel. It looks really nice. When I reviewed this monitor during my days at Polygon, I didn't think its performance justified its original price, as Asus had a similarly speedy 480Hz model that sold for $999.99 (and still costs that much). It's a different story now that the M10S is steeply discounted.
Some other great deals to check out
Summer is here, more or less. It's a time associated with outdoors and relaxing, but unfortunately it's also when wildfire smoke is at its worst, depending on your location. In case you don't have an air purifier in your home (and you think it may be something you'll need based on past experiences), Levoit's Core 300-P model is selling at Amazon with a rare 10 percent discount, costing $89.99. This model uses replaceable HEPA filters and runs quietly as it cuts down on dust and odors (you can opt for a special filter that filters pet allergens, too). This particular model can cover up to 1,074 square feet.
We covered this deal last week, but it bears repeating: Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses are 20 percent off in select styles, costing as low as $239 at Amazon, Meta, and Best Buy. They're a solid value, especially if you want to go all in with Meta AI features to help you identify landmarks, get live translations, and more. Alternatively, they're also one of the best options if you just want some stylish shades that can let you snap pics or video, and can pipe your music and phone calls near your ears. These prices will be in effect through June 16th.
Here are some deals for Switch 2 owners excited for the upgraded versions of Super Mario Party Jamboree and Kirby and the Forgotten Land and who don't own the original Switch versions. Woot is selling Super Mario Party Jamboree for $44.99 while Kirby is $39.99 (each previously sold for $59.99). This will put some money back in your pocket to use on each of the games' respective Switch 2 Edition upgrades that cost $19.99.

‘Invest now': Climate tech advocates push for creative funding as markets decline
Sustainability: News about the rapidly growing climate tech sector and other areas of innovation to protect our planet. SEE MORE Panel at the PNW Climate Week event titled 'Climate Capital Gap' from the left: moderator and GeekWire reporter Lisa Stiffler; Gabriel Scheer, senior director of innovation for Elemental Impact; Bina Shukla, E8 board member; and Eli Lieberman, executive director of the Washington State Green Bank. (E8 Photo) With climate tech investments declining and reduced federal funding from the Trump administration, champions of the sector are calling for creative strategies and widespread participation to bolster financial resources. 'When the markets are down, you buy. So if you have funds, this is the time to join in,' said Bina Shukla, a board member with the Seattle-area, climate investment group E8. 'Invest, invest, invest now.' Climate tech has historically been a challenging sector for attracting funding. It often moves more slowly and involves capital-intensive hardware prototyping compared to software. Clean energy projects may require permitting and regulatory oversight. Scaling takes time and investors need to be patient for their returns. Investments in the sector dropped 19% worldwide from the first half of this year compared to the same period in 2024 — though U.S. investments alone rose by about the same percentage during that time. Investments in early-stage companies declined the most, according to Sightline Climate. Shukla spoke Thursday on a panel that was part of the annual PNW Climate Week, a 10-day regional conference focused on the clean-energy transition with events held in Seattle, Tacoma, Bellevue, Portland, Vancouver, B.C., and Bellingham. She was joined by Gabriel Scheer, senior director of innovation for the investment nonprofit Elemental Impact, and Eli Lieberman, executive director of the recently launched Washington State Green Bank. I moderated the discussion. Here were their thoughts on innovative funding models: Recycling philanthropic dollars: A strategy being employed by the angel investment nonprofit E8 is to offer alternative ways of supporting climate startups, including its philanthropic impact fund, Decarbon8-US. Contributions are tax-deductible and any returns generated by investments are recycled back into the fund to support other startups. 'There are a lot of ways to support the community,' Shukla said. 'For $25 you can be part of that fund.' Spreading risks: Elemental created a program called D-SAFE (Development Simple Agreement for Future Equity), which allows the organization to spread investment risk across multiple capital projects within a single company. If a project succeeds, the company can repay Elemental with interest, allowing the funds to be reinvested elsewhere. If a project fails, the investment converts into an equity stake in the parent company, derisking early-stage, first-of-a-kind (or maybe even 10th-of-a-kind) deployments. 'It's been great,' Scheer said. 'We've had a number of companies who have used that now, and it's been a really good innovation.' Green banks: Lieberman is running Washington's first green bank, which uses public and private capital to fund clean energy and sustainability projects. The institution is structured to take higher risks and produce lower profits to get climate friendly technologies on the ground and in communities. 'Green banks traditionally exist more on the 'market pull' side, so later in the commercialization stage and in project finance,' Lieberman said. 'They'll look at their given geographic region that they operate in, and try to analyze what are the market gaps in project finance, and then what are the tools that the green bank could use to try to steer in private sector investment.' All three agreed that despite lower levels of investing globally and a retraction of federal support, there was plenty that companies, investors, elected officials, philanthropists and others could do to continue stoking the movement to expand clean energy innovation and deployment. 'This is our opportunity,' Scheer said. 'This is the time when left-leaning states, left-leaning cities, places with money — all of that is here — could do a whole bunch of really cool stuff.'

San Francisco bakery known for sourdough stays hot despite rising costs
Inside an unassuming bakery in San Francisco, something's happening that might just have you believing in carbs again. "This is not your Wonder bread," Jamie Sams told CBS News Bay Area. Sams runs the kitchen at Jane the Bakery. On busy mornings, he and his team can crank out up to 600 loaves. Each one requiring about five days from start to finish—proof there's nothing half-baked about taking your time. "It's a really simple idea of using what's already in nature," Sams said. Owner Amanda Michael said they wanted to go back to how bread was made thousands of years ago. "We're using the whole kernel of grain, so the germ, the endosperm, nothing is stripped out of it," Michael said. Not only do they mill grain on site—it's grown on their family farm, taking every loaf from seed to slice. It seems the bet is paying off. Customers like Sharon Garrison said it's the best thing since, well, you know. "There's no way to describe it… it's an experience," Garrison said. Across the country, sourdough has been on the rise, fueled by the pandemic-era obsession with baking, and it's still going strong. "There's so much greater interest in the commercial sector in functional bread, breads that are healthy," said Karen Bornarth from the Bread Bakers Guild of America. Bornarth said shoppers are pickier now. And while that has pushed bakeries to step up their game, artisanal bread takes work—and that costs more. "The ingredients may not be expensive but the hands that make them are worth a lot of money. So keeping it accessible for people, keeping it affordable so that the market can grow is the real challenge," Bornarth said. With the global sourdough market projected to surpass $3.5 billion by 2030, it seems clear: the notion that people are done with bread is, well, toast.

1 Magnificent Canadian Stock Down 22% to Buy and Hold for Decades
Written by Andrew Walker at The Motley Fool Canada Canadian National Railway (TSX:CNR) is down more than 20% from the 2024 high. Contrarian investors are wondering if CNR stock is now oversold and good to buy for a self-directed Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) or Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) portfolio focused on dividend growth and total returns. Canadian National Railway share price CN trades near $140 per share at the time of writing, compared to $180 at one point in March last year. The extended pullback over the past 16 months gives investors a chance to buy CNQ on a meaningful dip. Labour disputes at both CN and key ports, combined with wildfires in Alberta, disrupted operations in 2024. Customers had to find alternative transport to get their cargo to customers, which impacted volumes and revenue. Delays along the rail network drove up costs and hurt efficiency at the company. In the end, CN still managed to deliver a small rise in revenue in 2024 compared to 2023, but earnings slipped due to the jump in expenses. The weakness in the share price in 2025 is due to investor concerns about the impact of tariffs on the economy in the United States, Canada, and their key trading partners. CN operates roughly 20,000 km of rail lines that connect ports on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of Canada to the Gulf Coast in the United States. It is a key player in the smooth operation of the North American economy. A recession caused by high tariffs and extended trade uncertainty would be negative for CN due to lower demand for its services. Upside? Resolution of the trade negotiations between the United States and Canada would likely drive CN's share price higher as investors remove the uncertainty discount. Management actually provided an upbeat outlook for 2025 when the company released the first-quarter (Q1) 2025 results. CN expects to deliver adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) growth of 10% to 15% in 2025 compared to last year. In Q1, the company saw revenue and operating earnings rise 4% year over year. Diluted EPS came in 8% higher. CN continues to make investments across its network to improve efficiency and enable growth. The capital program is about $3.4 billion this year, with investments occurring in both Canada and the United States. CN generates significant revenue south of the border, so the stock is a good option for investors to get exposure to the American economy through a top Canadian company. Dividends and share buybacks CN has a long history of returning cash to shareholders. The company raised the dividend by 5% for 2025. This is the 29th consecutive annual dividend increase from the board. CN is also buying back up to 20 million common shares under the current stock-repurchase plan. Risks The U.S. is threatening to impose higher tariffs on Canada in the coming weeks if there isn't more progress made on the trade negotiations. If the tariffs go into place and Canada retaliates with reciprocal tariffs while negotiations continue, there could be a new leg to the downside for CN stock in the near term. Time to buy? Investors should expect volatility to continue in the short term. A slide back to the 2025 low around $130 per share is certainly possible. That being said, CN already looks cheap. Investors might want to start nibbling near this level and look to add to the position on any further weakness. Patience is required, but buy-and-hold investors should do well with CN at this entry point.
