Baseus Foldable Charger Block (2-Pack) for 50% Off Makes Each Block Barely Costs a Thing
Head over to Amazon to get the Baseus 2 Pack 65W USB C Charger Block for just $40, down from its usual price of $80. That's a discount of $40 and 50% off.
See at Amazon
Each charger in the bundle is small enough to disappear in a pocket yet powerful enough to top off a modern laptop during lunch. Foldable prongs tuck safely inside the case, so they will not snag fabric or scratch other electronics. Drop one charger in a work tote and the other in a suitcase, and you will not need to remember which bag holds your only power source. If someone in the household borrows one, the spare is still ready for your own morning dash.
A single USB C port keeps things simple. Plug in the cable that already comes with most phones, tablets, or lightweight notebooks, press play on your favorite playlist, and watch the battery climb at a reassuring pace. A slim tablet regains hours of streaming in about the time it takes to brew a fresh pot of coffee, and many laptops reach full by the end of a typical meeting. Fast charging also lets you grab a quick boost before heading to the gym or out for errands instead of waiting tied to a wall.
Travelers will appreciate that the compact body fits cleanly beside other plugs on a hotel lamp or airport power bar. Because the unit adjusts output automatically, you can charge anything from wireless earbuds to a gaming handheld without flipping switches or worrying about overload. Built‑in protection guards against overheating and short circuits, and a subtle indicator light confirms everything is working without glowing brightly at night.
If your current charging setup involves swapping a single adapter between rooms or arguing over who gets the outlet first, this two‑pack brings instant peace. The Baseus 2 Pack 65W USB C Charger Block is still available for $40 at Amazon, half the regular $80 price.

This Roborock S8 Max Ultra Suddenly Drops $500 on Amazon, Now Priced to Fly Off the Shelves
Roborock is probably the best robot vacuum and mop company, and its flagship products are legendary for reliability and advanced functionality. Most robovacs simply don't measure up: skipping spots, struggling with difficult stains, redepositing dust or requiring constant cleaning and upkeep. That's what makes Roborock S8 Max Ultra such a great upgrade: it's not so much that you're receiving a truly high-quality cleaning device, but this summer's Amazon flash sale temporarily reduces the price by a staggering $500. You now can bring the S8 Max Ultra home for just $799, down from its typical price of $1,299, which is a record all-time low that you simply can't miss out on. See at Amazon If you're tired of compromises most robovacs force you to accept, this is the best choice. Every aspect of this model has been tailored to realize maximum convenience, cleanliness and hygiene in the house. The powerful 8,000Pa suction places it among the top robot vacuum cleaners available, vacuuming hard debris and dust from carpets, tile and even marble floors. Combined with its advanced dual brush cleaning system and dual sonic mopping modules (capable of scrubbing floors at a blazing 4,000 times per minute) the S8 Max Ultra delivers a level of cleanliness you'll notice immediately. One of the most impressive features is the upgraded all-in-one RockDock Ultra: This dock does everything with virtually no effort from sanitizing and drying the mop in 140°F hot water that breaks up tough stains and kills lingering odors to self-refilling and automatic detergent dispensing for 3 full months of no-hands maintenance. Corner cleaning and edge maintenance are typically robot vacuum vulnerabilities, but the S8 Max Ultra doesn't fall into that trap: Its FlexiArm side brush extends far enough to reach concave corners and under pieces of furniture and achieves a full 100% coverage and leaving even the most challenging-to-reach areas spotless. The Extra Edge Mopping System keeps up with this degree of precision, and mops inches away from edges within under 1.7mm accuracy so your floor is treated inch by inch. Navigation is super intelligent on this device, with Roborock's PreciSense LiDAR technology combined with Reactive 3D Obstacle Avoidance: Your robot maps your home in an instant, learns your floorplan, and always avoids everyday objects, cords, and pet toys. Having the ability to create accurate and editable maps guarantees you can always rely on the S8 Max Ultra to clean the right areas and the right way. Few robot vacuum and mop combos hit all the right chords when it comes to power, intelligence and low-maintenance design. With the S8 Max Ultra dropping to $799 for a limited time, there may not be a better opportunity to enjoy the convenience that Roborock is renowned for. See at Amazon

Microsoft suddenly kills its movies and TV store on Xbox and Windows
Microsoft has suddenly shut its movies and TV store on Xbox consoles and Windows PCs. As of today you can no longer purchase new movies or TV shows from the Microsoft Store on Xbox or Windows, but you will still be able to access previously purchased content on devices. 'Downloads will continue to be available on Windows and in HD max resolution,' says Microsoft, but you'll have to continue using the Movies & TV app on Windows or Xbox to play the content you own rather than access it from another service — unless your purchased movies are part of Movies Anywhere in the US. Microsoft is not offering a refund for purchases, either. The closure of Microsoft's movies and TV store has been nervously anticipated by Xbox and Windows users ever since Microsoft shut down its Groove Music service in 2017. Microsoft originally launched a movies and TV storefront with the Zune Video Marketplace in 2006, before it was replaced by Xbox Video in 2012. That then morphed into the Movies & TV app and store in 2015, and now a decade later it's going away. Microsoft is now leaving it up to Amazon, Netflix, Apple TV, and the many other streaming video services to cater for movies and TV content on Windows and Xbox. Microsoft will continue to provide support for any issues playing back previously purchased content, and owners will be hoping the company keeps its servers online for many years to come.

24,000 e-bike batteries recalled because the US can't get its shit together
The US federal government's consumer watchdog has issued a recall for 'about 24,000' batteries sold with cheap VIVI e-bikes at retailers like Walmart, Amazon, and AliExpress for prices between $365 and $950. At least 14 incidents of overheating batteries have been reported, with three reported fires. No injuries have been reported, but owners are urged to stop using the e-bikes immediately because the lithium-ion batteries pose a 'risk of serious injury or death.' The VIVI e-bikes and batteries in question — models listed here — were likely not certified to UL safety standards. That's not stated in the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recall notice, but it's a near universal truth for budget brands selling e-bikes at rock-bottom prices. Certification costs money and is entirely voluntary outside of New York City. VIVI also seems to have started appending a 'UL' to the end of its UL certified model names. Owners affected by the recall can contact VIVI to receive a free replacement charger and battery, though it's unclear if the new battery will be UL certified. The recalled batteries were sold with e-bikes between December 2020 and November 2023. Certification costs money and is entirely voluntary The recall deals yet another blow to the reputation of electric bikes in the US, where a preponderance of e-bike incidents occur despite its minuscule share of the global market. In the EU, e-bikes are viewed as safe, reliable, healthy, and space-saving alternatives to automobiles and public transportation thanks largely to strict regulations. The VIVI recall is unlikely to be the last while federal lawmakers in the US continue to ignore e-bike safety. VIVI's e-bikes are made in China, like 86.3 percent of the US bike market. Prior to May 2nd, 2025, Chinese imports were eligible for the de minimis exception, whereby goods costing less than $800 entered the country duty free. The impact of this on the price of gadgets from Temu and clothing from Shein has been well documented, but that seemingly inconsequential exception also impacted e-bike safety. First, it allowed those big lithium-ion batteries attached to cheap e-bike motors to be imported with minimal government inspection, as Consumer Reports warned back in 2022. It also incentivized e-bike makers to cut corners in order to beat that $800 cap. UL testing and certification has a one-time cost of between $30,000 to $100,000 per model, allowing companies like VIVI to undercut brands like Rad Power that willingly pay for the marketing that comes with a UL seal of approval. There are two main safety standards that apply to e-bikes in the US: UL 2849, which applies to e-bikes, and UL 2271 for e-bike batteries. Both certifications are recommended by the CPSC but remain voluntary everywhere but New York City which made them mandatory in 2023. As of September 30th, 2024, there were three deaths and 84 injuries from e-bike fires, down from 14 deaths and 114 injuries for the same period a year earlier. Tough e-bike safety laws like the one coming into effect for all of California on January 1st could convince more e-bike makers to seek UL certification. But only a federal mandate can guarantee a uniform approach and solve the battery safety issue once and for all. In the meantime, we can expect more e-bike battery-related injuries to persons and property in the US. And since President Trump is openly hostile to regulation and any form of transportation that doesn't require exploding dinosaur juice, there's little hope we'll see a federal e-bike safety standard during his reign. So, the best you can do for now is look for that 'UL Certified' sticker. If you're buying a new e-bike in the US, you should demand it. And if you already own a cheap Chinese import without it, well... maybe park it outside.
