Karen Bass signs orders to aid rebuilding in Pacific Palisades
Story Highlights Mayor Karen Bass issues two executive actions to expedite rebuilding in the Palisades. Emergency Executive Order 8 streamlines permitting for larger home rebuilds. Executive Directive 13 creates preapproved design library for rebuilding homes. Los Angeles is launching two new actions to speed up rebuilding in the Pacific Palisades. Mayor Karen Bass issued two executive actions this week to expedite the rebuilding process in the L.A. neighborhood that was ravaged by January's wildfires: Emergency Executive Order 8 and Executive Directive 13. GET TO KNOW YOUR CITY Find Local Events Near You Connect with a community of local professionals. Explore All Events Emergency Executive Order 8 will continue the city's efforts to streamline the permitting process for homeowners looking to rebuild homes larger than those damaged. The order expands the scope of single-family home projects eligible for the state's emergency suspension of the California Environmental Quality Act and the California Coastal Act. By waiving local Coastal Act review processes, 'as long as common-sense streamlined environmental protections are in place,' the order aims to create an expanded pathway for the rebuilding of single-family homes in the Coastal Zone that do not qualify as 'like-for-like,' which are projects with structures of the same size, in the same location and for the same purpose as the previous structures that were damaged or destroyed by the fire. The order adds to the streamlined processes established in Emergency Executive Order 1, signed by Bass less than a week after the start of the wildfires. Earlier this month, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law Assembly Bill 130, which creates a new class of residential development that doesn't require review under CEQA, which often delays development in California. The other initiative, Executive Directive 13, will launch a pilot program for single-family homes, creating a virtual library of preapproved, code-compliant designs to fast-track rebuild projects available for the public. The city plans to issue an open call to architects and building professionals for designs. The city reported that debris removal in the Palisades is more than 85% complete, which Bass said puts Los Angeles' recovery after the fires 'on track to be the fastest in modern California history.' Nearly 300 rebuilding plans have been approved by the city. 'With debris removal months ahead of expectations, construction underway and new action taken today to further streamline the rebuilding process, we continue to push forward in our all out effort to get families home,' Bass said in a statement.

CNET Daily Tariff Price Impact Tracker: How 11 Key are Reacting to Inflation
Price hikes resulting from Trump's tariffs could be closer than ever. James Martin/CNET The question of how new tariffs will affect prices is more relevant than ever. President Donald Trump has punted another major deadline down the road and a new Consumer Price Index summary shows that inflation was 2.7% in June, the biggest jump since February. With the reality of tariff-driven inflation arriving in earnest, it's more important than ever to keep tabs on the prices that most impact you. To help with that, I've been tracking prices every day for 11 key products likely to be hit by price increases from tariffs, and the answer I've come to so far is this: Not so much, at least not yet. The winding road of tariff inflation still stretches before us into an uncertain future, so the threat of price hikes continues to cloud the horizon. To date, I've seen two noteworthy price increases, one for the Xbox Series X and the other for a popular budget-friendly 4K TV. Some other products have gone on sale for brief periods. Notably, other outlets have caught a number of major retailers hiking prices across the board, with CNBC finding some substantial inflation at Walmart specifically. CNET Tariff Tracker Index Above, you can check out a chart with the average price of the 11 products included in this piece over the course of 2025. This will help give you a sense of the overall price changes and fluctuations going on. Further down, you'll be able to check out charts for each individual product being tracked. Based on the numbers so far, the average has gone up noticeably since the start of the year, but this has been driven mostly be a big shifts for a few products, as most price are still stable. We'll be updating this article regularly as prices change. It's all in the name of helping you make sense of things, so be sure to check back every so often. For more, check out CNET's guide to whether you should wait to make big purchases or buy them now and get expert tips about how to prepare for a recession. Now Playing: Should You Buy Now or Wait? Our Experts Weigh In on Tariffs 09:42 Methodology We're checking prices daily and will update the article and the relevant charts right away to reflect any changes. The following charts show a single bullet point for each month, with the most recent one labeled "Now" and showing the current price. For the past months, we've gone with what was the most common price for each item in the given month. In most cases, the price stats used in these graphs were pulled from Amazon using the historical price-tracker tool Keepa. For the iPhones, the prices come from Apple's official materials and are based on the 128-gigabyte base model of the latest offering of the iPhone 16. For the Xbox Series X, the prices were sourced from Best Buy using the tool PriceTracker. If any of these products happen to be on sale at a given time, we'll be sure to let you know and explain how those price drops differ from longer-term pricing trends that tariffs can cause. The 11 products we're tracking Mostly what we're tracking in this article are electronic devices and digital items that CNET covers in depth, like iPhones and affordable 4K TVs -- along with a typical bag of coffee, a more humble product that isn't produced in the US to any significant degree. The products featured were chosen for a few reasons: Some of them are popular and/or affordable representatives for major consumer tech categories, like smartphones, TVs and game consoles. Others are meant to represent things that consumers might buy more frequently, like printer ink or coffee beans. Some products were chosen over others because they are likely more susceptible to tariffs. Some of these products have been reviewed by CNET or have been featured in some of our best lists. Below, we'll get into more about each individual product, and stick around till the end for a rundown of some other products worth noting. iPhone 16 The iPhone is the most popular smartphone brand in the US, so this was a clear priority for price tracking. The iPhone has also emerged as a major focal point for conversations about tariffs, given its popularity and its susceptibility to import taxes because of its overseas production, largely in China. Trump has reportedly been fixated on the idea that the iPhone can and should be manufactured in the US, an idea that experts have dismissed as a fantasy. Estimates have also suggested that a US-made iPhone would cost as much as $3,500. Something to note about this graph: The price listed is the one you'll see if you buy your phone through a major carrier. If you, say, buy direct from Apple or Best Buy without a carrier involved, you'll be charged an extra $30, so in some places, you might see the list price of the standard iPhone 16 listed as $830. Apple's been taking a few steps to protect its prices in the face of these tariffs, flying in bulk shipments of product before they took effect and planning to move production for the US market from China to India. A new Reuters report found that a staggering 97% of iPhones imported from the latter country, March through May, were bound for the US. This latter move drew the anger of Trump again, threatening the company with a 25% tariff if they didn't move production to the US, an idea CEO Tim Cook has repeatedly shot down in the past. This came after Trump gave a tariff exemption to electronic devices including smartphones, so the future of that move seems in doubt now. Duracell AA batteries A lot of the tech products in your home might boast a rechargeable energy source but individual batteries are still an everyday essential and I can tell you from experience that as soon as you forget about them, you'll be needing to restock. The Duracell AAs we're tracking are some of the bestselling batteries on Amazon. Samsung DU7200 TV Alongside smartphones, televisions are some of the most popular tech products out there, even if they're an infrequent purchase. This particular product is a popular entry-level 4K TV and was CNET's pick for best overall budget TV for 2025. Unlike a lot of tech products that have key supply lines in China, Samsung is a South Korean company, so it might have some measure of tariff resistance. After spending most of 2025 hovering around $400, this item has now seen some notable upticks on Amazon, most recently sitting around $450. This could potentially be in reaction to Trump's announcement of 25% tariffs against South Korea this week. Xbox Series X Video game software and hardware are a market segment expected to be hit hard by the Trump tariffs. Microsoft's Xbox is the first console brand to see price hikes -- the company cited "market conditions" along with the rising cost of development. Most notably, this included an increase in the price of the flagship Xbox Series X, up from $500 to $600. Numerous Xbox accessories also were affected and the company also said that "certain" games will eventually see a price hike from $70 to $80. Initially, we were tracking the price of the much more popular Nintendo Switch as a representative of the gaming market. Nintendo has not yet hiked the price of its handheld-console hybrid and stressed that the $450 price tag of the upcoming Switch 2 has not yet been inflated because of tariffs. Sony, meanwhile, has so far only increased prices on its PlayStation hardware in markets outside the US. AirPods Pro 2 The latest iteration of Apple's wildly popular true-wireless earbuds are here to represent the headphone market. Much to the chagrin of the audiophiles out there, a quick look at sales charts on Amazon shows you just how much the brand dominates all headphone sales. While Prime Day might be in the rearview mirror at this point, you can grab a pair of these earbuds for $169, a $30 discount from where they've been most of the year. HP 962 CMY printer ink This HP printer ink includes cyan, magenta and yellow all in one product and recently saw its price jump from around $72 -- where it stayed for most of 2025 -- to $80, which is around its highest price over the last five years. We will be keeping tabs to see if this is a long-term change or a brief uptick. This product replaced Overture PLA Filament for 3D printers in this piece, but we're still tracking that item. Anker 10,000-mAh, 30-watt power bank Anker's accessories are perennially popular in the tech space and the company has already announced that some of its products will get more expensive as a direct result of tariffs. This specific product has also been featured in some of CNET's lists of the best portable chargers. Bose TV speaker Soundbars have become important purchases, given the often iffy quality of the speakers built into TVs. While not the biggest or the best offering in the space, the Bose TV Speaker is one of the more affordable soundbar options out there, especially hailing from a brand as popular as Bose. Oral-B Pro 1000 electric toothbrush They might be a lot more expensive than their traditional counterparts but electric toothbrushes remain a popular choice for consumers because of how well they get the job done. I know my dentist won't let up on how much I need one. This particular Oral-B offering was CNET's overall choice for the best electric toothbrush for 2025. This product hasn't seen its price budge one way or another most of the year, but while Prime Day might have come and gone, there's still a $10 coupon listed on Amazon right now, letting you save a little bit of money for the time being. Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook Lenovo is notable among the big laptop manufacturers for being a Chinese company making its products especially susceptible to Trump's tariffs. For now, its price has been largely unchanged in the last few months. You can, however, grab it on Amazon right now at a $20 discount, but we'll have to see how long that actually lasts. Starbucks Ground Coffee (28-ounce bag) Coffee is included in this tracker because of its ubiquity -- I'm certainly drinking too much of it these days -- and because it's uniquely susceptible to Trump's tariff agenda. Famously, coffee beans can only be grown within a certain distance from Earth's equator, a tropical span largely outside the US and known as the "Coffee Belt." Hawaii is the only part of the US that can produce coffee beans, with data from USAFacts showing that 11.5 million pounds were harvested there in the 2022-23 season -- little more than a drop in the mug, as the US consumed 282 times that amount of coffee during that period. Making matters worse, Hawaiian coffee production has declined in the past few years. All that to say: Americans get almost all of their coffee from overseas, making it one of the most likely products to see price hikes from tariffs. While this particular bag of beans from Starbucks hasn't seen its price budge for most of the year, in recent days it ticked up by less than a dollar on Amazon, which could be a sign of further increases to come. Other products As mentioned, we occasionally swap out products with different ones that undergo notable price shifts. Here are some things no longer featured above, but that we're still keeping an eye on: Nintendo Switch: The baseline handheld-console hybrid has held steady around $299 most places -- including Amazon release of the Switch 2 remains to be seen. This product was replaced above with the Xbox Series X. release of the Switch 2 remains to be seen. This product was replaced above with the Xbox Series X. Overture PLA 3D printer filament: This is a popular choice on Amazon Here are some products we also wanted to single out that haven't been featured with a graph yet: Razer Blade 18 (2025), 5070 Ti edition: The latest revision of Razer's largest gaming laptop saw a $300 price bump recently, with the base model featured an RTX 5070 Ti graphics card now priced at $3,500 ahead of launch, compared to the $3,200 price announced in February. While Razer has stayed mum about the reasoning, it did previously suspend direct sales to the US as Trump's tariff plans were ramping up in April. Asus ROG Ally X: The premium version of Asus's Steam Deck competitor handheld gaming PC recently saw a price hike from $799 to $899, coinciding with the announcement of the company's upcoming Xbox-branded Ally handhelds.

Wyze's New Lamp Socket Can Smarten Up Your Outdoor Lighting. Here's How It Works
Looking for a way to smarten up your outdoor lighting? The Wyze Lamp Socket v2 is now available, and it's got some upgrades over its predecessor. Wyze released the first version of the lamp socket in 2021, but a lot has changed since then and the socket may no longer be compatible with all of your upgraded smart home tech. Wyze has made a few changes that may be welcome upgrades, such as higher bulb wattage and improved quality. So what's new with the Wyze Lamp Socket v2? Here's what we found and what to know before you order it. Read more: Wyze's New Bulb Cam Turns Any Light Bulb Socket Into a Security Camera How the Wyze Lamp Socket v2 works The smart home tech company's socket powers your Wyze camera using your outdoor light's electricity. You can control the light using the Wyze mobile app. Using them together, you can set your outdoor lights to turn on when your camera detects motion. You can set up multiple sockets for your camera for more lighting. Picture your front porch and garage lights both turning on when your camera detects a visitor -- and you'll get camera notifications from the Wyze app. The socket also has dusk-to-dawn automation, so you won't have to worry about your lights turning on in broad daylight. Keep in mind that the socket is not water or weatherproof; however, Wyze says it's suitable for damp areas. And Wyze doesn't recommend using incandescent bulbs for it, but rather CFL or LED bulbs under 20 watts. What Wyze cameras are compatible with the Lamp Socket v2? The socket is also compatible with these Wyze cameras: Wyze Cam v3 Wyze v3 Pro Wyze Cam v4 Wyze Cam OG Wyze Cam Pan v3 An expert's take: The Wyze Lamp Socket can level up your outdoor lighting Tyler Lacoma, CNET's home editor, pointed out that Wyze's lamp socket does something most security cameras haven't yet. "Most smart bulbs are indoor lights with a connected bulb," said Lacoma. "Wyze's approach is much more unique -- it upgrades the socket itself so you can use any bulb, and it's specifically designed for outdoor lamps, filling a niche where not many smart options are available." The Wyze Lamp Socket v2 is available on Amazon and Wyze's website for $17. It comes with a one-year warranty.
