Macworld Apple AirTags (1st Gen) View Deal (function () { document.querySelector("#sticky-promo-block a").addEventListener("click", function(e) { const debug = document.location.host.search(/lndo.site|go-vip.net/) !== -1; const text = this.closest("#sticky-promo-block").querySelector("p.promo-title").textContent; const data = { event: "stickyConversionUnitClick", eventCategory: "Sticky Conversion", eventAction: "Click", eventLabel: text }; if(debug)console.log("Sticky Conversion CLick - pushing to dataLayer: ", data); dataLayer.push(data); return true; }); })(); It was five years ago when Apple first released its tiny AirTag tracker, and even though there’s a new model, it hasn’t changed much. So the original model is still great, especially when you can get a 4-pack for just $57. That’s an incredible $42 off the original MSRP, and just $14.25 per tracker, the best price we’ve ever seen. And since the sale is at Woot, your Amazon Prime perks will be useful here too, including free shipping. As you know, AirTags are super useful to have, especially hooked up with your keys or bag, so you don’t have to spend forever searching for them in the morning. Just pop open the Find My app and make it ping. When the tag isn’t nearby, you’ll still be able to track it down with Apple’s global Find My network that uses other iPhones to pinpoint its location. With millions of connected Apple devices, you’re certainly going to find its location in seconds. The AirTags are durable and water-resistant, so they’re good to use in all sorts of conditions. The batteries will last for over a year, and they’re easy to swap out, too, so you can use them for a very long time. But act fast, because this Woot deal won’t last forever. Even if they don’t sell out, the timer runs out Friday at midnight, so you’d better hurry up and grab a pack because we might never see a discount this good again.04:27 pmOpenAI explains why ChatGPT developed a goblin fixation, and how it solved the issue

This tiny little thing is so cool because, thanks to the C-clamp, you can mount it up to the underside of your monitor, for instance. You can, of course, also mount it to the very edge of your desk so it takes up very little of that precious space. This tiny little thing only needs an edge measuring between 0.19 and 1.1 inches and features three USB-A ports and one USB-C port, so you won’t have to worry about taking out a tiny dongle just to be able to use a flash drive. You won’t even have to worry about setting it up close to your desktop or laptop. This hub doesn’t have a built-in cable like some other models (though it does include a 2-in-1 cable in the box). The USB-C port on the back gives you flexibility to use whatever cable you want, and it also has an optional 5V USB-C port that can keep your connected devices charged. Go ahead and grab the Orico USB-C Clamp hub for just $15.46 off while this deal’s still live.03:04 pmCNBC: President Trump’s pro-growth policies could fuel strong summertime stock-market gains | Mac Daily NewsCNBC: President Trump’s pro-growth policies could fuel strong summertime stock-market gains
