Amazon's Practically Giving Away the Newest AI-Powered 4K Fire TV Stick for 50% Off Before Prime Day
Is your TV dumb? That's not a personal slight directed at your big screen, but just in case it's not a smart TV, we have a $25 solution that will blow your mind while giving your TV a better one. Amazon's selling its latest and best version of the Fire TV Stick — the 4K Ultra HD version — for half price.
This is the lowest price on the Fire TV Stick 4K since the Black Friday/Cyber Week blowout sale last year, and even with Prime Day just weeks away, the price might not go lower than it is now. This is the best-selling version of the Fire TV Stick, more than the HD and 4K Max, and it won't be long after you plug it into your TV (smart or not) that you find out why.

It's hard to believe that a tiny plug-and-play device like the Fire TV Stick 4K can make such a massive difference in the picture quality of your TV, but the level of 4K resolution you get from streaming with the Fire TV Stick 4K has to be seen to be believed. It's backed up with Dolby Vision and HDR10+ to create a truly cinema-like viewing experience, and it supports Dolby Atmos to make the sound as good as the picture.
This latest iteration of the Fire TV Stick is driven by a quad-core 1.7GHz processor that creates an overall faster and smoother performance, with quicker app startups, navigation, and searches. And if you have a Wi-Fi 6 router, the Fire TV Stick 4K can keep up with those blazing speeds, even when your network has several other devices online.
You probably already know that the Fire TV Stick 4K is your ticket to over 1.5 million TV shows and movies from Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+, and Max, along with tons of free TV and live TV options. But the gaming options may come as a surprise. Prime members can use the Amazon Luna app to Fortnite and other rotating top titles for free, or upgrade to Luna+ for access to hundreds of other games. The Xbox app also gives you free Fortnite play, and if you're an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriber, you can stream hundreds of top titles directly through your Fire TV Stick 4K just as easily as you can stream movies and shows.
When you look at all of the features and the high-end video and audio quality, and you add in the gaming options and the fact that the Fire TV Stick 4K is also a ready-made Alexa hub for voice commands and control of other smart-home devices, the $25 price during this Amazon half-off sale becomes even harder to believe. But it's the real deal, and it's waiting for you at Amazon now.

Microsoft's Free New Windows Upgrade: How It Works And How To Get It
Microsoft stops supporting Windows 10 in just over 100 days on Oct.14, 2025. But on June 25, the company introduced the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program, which will mean users will supported for an extra year, for free. Windows 10 and Windows 11 This is a big change: until a few days ago, to gain an extra year, you needed to pay the company $30. Now, there's a free option, but there are things you need to do. Essentially, you need to link your Microsoft account and sync Settings to the cloud. First, as Microsoft explains, you need to sign in to Windows on a device running Windows 10, version 22H2 Home, Professional, Pro Education, or Workstation edition with the latest update installed. To enroll your device in ESU, go to Settings, then Update & Security, then Windows Update. Assuming you meet the requirements, you should see a link to enroll. If you choose not to sync your PC settings, the $30 fee still applies. Windows Latest, ahead of the game as usual, has already done all this as part of the Insider Program, so has seen it in action. 'In our tests, it just takes a few seconds to extend support. You'll see the 'Enroll now' button on the right side of the Windows Update. On some installations, it also appears below the Check for updates button. I assume Microsoft is A/B testing the toggle, but once you click the 'Enroll now' button, it opens a pop-up window titled 'Enroll in Extended Security Updates.' The pop-up says it'll help you extend security updates support beyond October 14, 2025, when Windows 10 support ends,' Mayank Parmar explains. The wizard will check whether your PC meets the requirements which are not, of course, the same as those needed to upgrade to Windows 11. When it's all done, a success screen appears. 'You're enrolled in Extended Security Updates through Oct. 13, 2026,'it says. If you're really not interested in moving on from Windows 10, and that's the case for hundreds of millions of users, this is a simple way to keep your PC secure until late 2026 for free.

Apple's $96 Million Siri Settlement Closes In Days. Chances Are Good You Could Be Eligible
If you're eligible for a settlement payout from Apple, make sure you sign up by July 2. Viva Tung/CNET As useful as they -- sometimes -- can be, virtual assistants can often be just as annoying, especially if you've ever called one up by mistake. If you're an Apple user who's had that sort of issue with Siri in the last decade, I've got a settlement you should know about. Apple customers may be eligible for a payout from a $96 million class-action settlement if the Siri virtual assistant was accidentally activated during a private conversation. However, if you want your payout for this privacy invasion, you'll need to make sure you sign up soon. The deadline to file a claim now less than a week away, and after that you'll be out of luck. Apple agreed to the settlement after being sued for allegedly allowing Siri to listen in on private conversations without consent. Now, a claims website is live, and if you meet the criteria, you could get a piece of the payout. Whether you're a longtime iPhone user or just want to see if you're eligible, here's everything you need to know before the window closes. The settlement period covers a full decade and given the ubiquity of Apple products, there's a good chance you'll be eligible for a piece of the payout. If you meet the eligibility standards, you can claim a payment for up to five Siri-enabled devices, with a cap on how much you can receive per device. We'll get into the specific amount a little bit later. The impact of this settlement has the potential to be wide-ranging, given the reach of Apple's product ecosystem. According to a Business of Apps report from November, citing company and market research data, there were roughly 155 million active iPhones in the US as of 2024, a number that's been steadily increasing since the product's debut. Similarly, active Apple TV streaming boxes in the US have also been increasing year to year, with more than 32 million active in the US as of 2023. To find out if you're eligible for this settlement, read on. For more, find out what's up with the recent delay of T-Mobile data breach settlement checks. Who sued Apple and why? This class-action lawsuit, Lopez et al v. Apple Inc., was first brought against Apple in 2019, with plaintiffs alleging that they were routinely recorded by their Apple devices after unintentionally activating the Siri virtual assistant, violating their privacy in the process. They further alleged that these recordings were then sold to advertisers and used to target them with ads online. Specific incidents mentioned in the suit include plaintiffs seeing ads online for brands like Air Jordan and Olive Garden after Apple device users discussed them out loud. In some instances, plaintiffs claimed that their devices began listening to them without them having said anything at all. At least one plaintiff involved in the case was a minor when it was first filed. Though it agreed to the settlement, Apple hasn't admitted any wrongdoing. "Siri has been engineered to protect user privacy from the beginning," Apple said in a statement sent to CNET. "Siri data has never been used to build marketing profiles and it has never been sold to anyone for any purpose. Apple settled this case to avoid additional litigation so we can move forward from concerns about third-party grading that we already addressed in 2019. We use Siri data to improve Siri and we are constantly developing technologies to make Siri even more private." Who is eligible for this class-action settlement? The eligibility requirements for this settlement are fairly broad, as it's open to anyone who owned a Siri-enabled Apple device between Sept. 17, 2014, and Dec. 31, 2024. In order to opt in, you'll have to swear under oath that at some point during that period, you accidentally activated Siri on each device you want to get a payment for, and that these activations occurred during a conversation meant to be private. Siri-enabled devices include iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, MacBooks, iMacs, Apple TV streaming boxes, HomePod speakers and iPod Touches. How can I opt in to this Apple settlement? As of Thursday, May 8, a website has been launched where Apple customers can claim a portion of the settlement, if they believe they qualify. If you're looking to submit a claim, you have until July 2, 2025, to do so. It's not clear at this time when payments will be disbursed to approved claimants but it will surely be sometime after Aug. 1, 2025, when a final approval hearing is scheduled. How much can I get from the class-action settlement? Payments per device are to be capped at $20, although depending on how many people opt in to the settlement, claimants could receive less than that. Each individual can only claim payments for up to five devices, meaning the maximum possible payment you could receive from the settlement is $100.
