Last chance to beat the tariffs! My favorite coffee grinder gets more expensive next week, but it's 20% off in this Prime Day deal
San Francisco-based coffee brand Fellow recently announced a range of price hikes, and starting next week, my go-to coffee grinder is about to get $50 more expensive. So if you want the best of the best, I highly recommend you take advantage of this last-minute Prime Day deal and pick up the Fellow Ode Gen 2 coffee grinder, now 20% off at Amazon. We're selecting this and many more last-minute Prime Day deals as the final hours of Prime Day draw near. Starting next week, the Gen 2 will cost $399, so if you're considering investing in this stylish grinder, you should buy it while it's $279. Fellow's Gen 2 Ode Brew Grinder is its levelled-up grinder for brewing pour-over, French press and cold brew. It offers 31 grind sizes and features anti-static features for fewer clumps and low retention. This deal already sold out in the Black colorway, but it's still available in White. The Gen 2 features a leveled-up grinding performance on account of its new burrs. There are 11 grind settings, with 31 settings in between, offering heaps of precision for that perfectly finessed flavor. This grinder is best suited to pour-over, French press and V60 brews. It's not suited to espresso, but it's the grinder I use every morning with my beloved Fellow Aiden coffee maker to achieve perfectly extracted drip coffee. What's more, it's a super quiet choice. I use it in single doses, and it shuts off automatically if you don't manually stop grinding once you're through with your beans. The grinder also features a knocker that removes any final retention, to ensure no beans are wasted.

KUANTAN - Several areas in Kuantan will face an unscheduled 12-hour water supply disruption starting 11pm tonight due to repair and maintenance work at the Kobat Pump House. Pengurusan Air Pahang Berhad (PAIP) CEO Datuk Saiful Zaini Mohd Bokhari said the works, scheduled to end by 11am tomorrow (July 10), are a preventive measure to avoid major operational issues in the future.

I tried Sky's new £6 a month TV that could finally win over Q box viewers – but popular feature is still missing
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TELLY is still a favourite for many Brits and when it comes to premium TV most of us think of Sky. In a world of streaming with Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime and every other app it's harder than ever to get everything in one seamless place. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Watching Gladiator 2 looked great on the new Sky Glass Air Credit: Jamie Harris / The Sun 4 The frame is slimmer than previous Sky Glass devices Credit: Jamie Harris / The Sun 4 And the set-up was super easy Credit: Jamie Harris / The Sun Sky came the closest yet with Sky Glass, which it launched in 2021. Since then, we've seen a Sky Glass Gen 2 arrive earlier this year. And now there's another new kid on the block - Sky Glass Air. For those who don't already know, they all do away with the need for a satellite dish and instead rely on the internet. There's no box either, it's all neatly built into the TV itself. You need a minimum broadband speed of 25mbps to have a smooth service. So how does Sky Glass Air differentiate from its older siblings? One of the biggest criticisms about the main Sky Glass TVs is their chunky size which is designed to pack in a mighty soundbar. Sky Glass Air does away with the soundbar to make the device more compact than before - and cheaper. How to Unlock New Free Sky Sports Channels on Your TV Today As The Sun's tech reviewer, I've got hands on with a number of TVs over the years and I write regularly about Sky. I used to have the first Sky Glass and currently have a Sky Glass Gen 2 TV, so I'm well placed to talk about the key changes and whether they're any good for you - and why some Sky Q viewers may finally be tempted to switch. That said, a much loved feature on Sky Q remains missing. Read on to find out more after testing Sky Glass Air at home this week. Sky Glass Air: Settings up 4 Setting up the mount is super easy too Credit: Jamie Harris / The Sun Sky made the set-up a lot easier on the Gen 2 and that has fortunately continued with the Air. You don't need any tools for the TV mount, it's just a tough metal slate with two large bolts. Twist the bolts into the slots and then place the TV on top of them, pushing down so it's firmly secured. Super duper easy. There's a power cable and remote - with batteries - in the box. All you need to do is power up, enter your Wi-Fi password and you'll be watching TV within five minutes. As an existing Sky account holder, I didn't even have to enter any login details, it already knew it was for me. Setting up couldn't be any easier. Sky Glass Air: Look and feel Sky Glass and Sky Glass Gen 2 are serious hunks of metal and quite heavy. The Sky Glass Air is lighter and has a slimmer frame. I'm testing the 43-inch version which comes in at 8.85kg without the stand - the Gen 2 equivalent weighs 14.7kg. While the Sky Glass Air has a slimmer frame it does bulk out around the back. The ports are all handily around the left side too making them much easier to reach compared to the Gen 2 where they're more centre back. The interface of Sky Glass Air runs on Sky OS, so it's exactly the same as what you see on any other Sky Glass device. It's by far my favourite TV interface around as it's the closest thing to having everything in one place within a slick, smooth and seamless design. Sky Glass Air: Features Sky OS provides access to all the apps you know and love. The Sky Playlist feature is the company's answer to recording - though unlike traditional recordings nothing is kept locally on a box or your TV. Instead, they're kept in the cloud. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage, which has divided some. The advantage is you're not restricted by storage space, so no need to go through the hassle of deleting shows. Instead, Sky will automatically link whatever you've added out to the relevant streaming platform or record it on the cloud for you to watch. The disadvantage is you have less control over the recordings - something Sky Q loyalists are always quick to mention. While infrequent, if there's a rights issue that means a certain show or movie can't be recorded it may not be available (this has happened to me previously with the Gen 2, but not in my time reviewing the Air). It also means you're at the mercy of your broadband service - if there's an outage, you don't have recordings on a box or TV as a back-up option. How to cast on Sky Casting to your Sky device is done with Apple AirPlay, meaning it only works with an iPhone, iPad, Mac or HomePod It's also important to add that AirPlay is only available on Sky Glass and Sky Stream. For it to work, your Sky device and your iPhone (or other Apple gadget) have to be on the same Wi-Fi network. If you're using an app like Netflix, you need to look for a casting icon which looks like a small TV Tap this and select your TV from the list. When using Apple AirPlay on your Sky TV for the first time, you'll need to enter a code that appears on your screen to confirm it's you using it. If you want to show photos or videos on your Sky Glass or Sky Stream device follow the instructions below: Go to the Photos app Select the photo or video you want to cast Tap the share icon in the bottom left of your screen (the box with an arrow pointing upward) Select AirPlay from the options Tap your Sky TV from the list Close the app on your phone at anytime to stop casting Sky Glass Air: Picture and sound The picture quality on the Sky Glass Air is great - but not the most beautiful I've seen as TVs go. Colours look vibrant and sharp, darks are darker, brights are brighter. And the sound seriously surprised me - I hardly noticed the lack of a soundbar at all But it's the sound I was most curious about with the absence of an integrated soundbar like the other Sky Glass TVs. And I was pleasantly surprised - in fact it started off quite loud on setting up, despite only having about 30% of the volume up. Watching Gladiator 2 and I felt every swish and clang of a sword. Sky Glass Air: Price The Sky Glass Air is the cheapest Sky Glass device yet starting at £6 per month. But that's only for the TV itself on a 48 month contract. To get Sky's channels you'll need to add a package on, which starts at £15 for the Sky Essential TV pack with Sky Atlantic, Netflix and Discovery+ included. So, for the TV hardware and Sky channels you're looking at at least £21 per month. As a monthly cost, that's cheaper than Sky Q which starts at £31 a month - and remember that doesn't come with a TV, it's just a box.

Can Snowflake's Gen2 Launch Drive Strong Product Revenue Growth?
Snowflake 's SNOW data warehouse platform has been gaining traction as enterprises increasingly rely on scalable, cloud native infrastructure to unify, analyze and share large volumes of data. Snowflake supports diverse workloads, ranging from business intelligence and data engineering to machine learning and AI. SNOW's compute engine, the Standard Warehouse, has been a critical driver for platform engagement and query performance across its data warehouse platform. Standard Warehouse supports high-throughput analytical workloads that power BI dashboards, batch jobs and AI applications across Snowflake's enterprise base. Snowflake recently launched Standard Warehouse – Generation 2 (Gen2), which delivers up to 2.1X faster analytics performance and 1.9X faster execution compared to the existing platforms. The upgrade introduces a new execution engine and next-gen hardware, reducing query latency without requiring changes to customer workloads. Snowflake's Gen2 upgrade reflects its continued investment in core performance infrastructure. SNOW's innovative portfolio is driving clientele. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Snowflake added 451 new customers, bringing the total to 11,578 (up 19% year over year). Snowflake maintained a net revenue retention rate of 124%, implying strong expansion within its existing base. Expanding customer base is driving product revenues, which hit $997 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, reflecting 26% year-over-year growth. The figure beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 6.71%. As demand grows for faster, cost-effective data processing across enterprise and AI workloads, Snowflake expects Gen2 to contribute significantly to its consumption-based revenue growth. Snowflake Faces Stiff Competition Snowflake's data warehouse platform faces intense competition from Amazon AMZN and Microsoft MSFT, both of which are strengthening their cloud data infrastructure and analytics capabilities. Amazon is advancing its position through Amazon Redshift and Redshift Serverless, which allow enterprises to scale analytics workloads without managing clusters. Redshift integrates with AWS's AI services like SageMaker and Bedrock, helping customers run ML models and generative AI applications directly within the data warehouse. Amazon's serverless innovation aligns with growing enterprise demand for elastic and AI-ready infrastructure. Microsoft is reinforcing its presence in enterprise data with Microsoft Fabric, a unified analytics platform that combines Synapse, Power BI, and Data Factory with AI integrations. Fabric supports real-time analytics and large language model workloads, enabling seamless data collaboration across business teams. Microsoft's tightly integrated stack and expanding AI capabilities are positioning it as a formidable player in next-gen data infrastructure. SNOW's Share Price Performance, Valuation and Estimates Snowflake shares have appreciated 36.5% year to date, outperforming the broader Zacks Computer & Technology sector's return of 1.7% and the Zacks Internet Software industry's increase of 13.2%. SNOW's YTD Price Performance Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Snowflake stock is trading at a premium, with a forward 12-month Price/Sales of 14.48X compared with the industry's 5.69X. SNOW has a Value Score of F. SNOW's Valuation Image Source: Zacks Investment Research The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings is pegged at 26 cents per share, unchanged over the past 30 days, indicating 44.44% year-over-year growth. Snowflake Inc. Price and Consensus The consensus mark for SNOW's fiscal 2026 earnings is pegged at $1.06 per share, which has declined by 8.5% over the past 30 days.
