Don’t buy the Fire TV Stick for $40 when Fire TV Stick 4K refurbs are back in stock for $5 more
If you’re on the fence while trying to decide between a new Fire TV Stick, Amazon’s #1 best-selling device, and a new Fire TV Stick 4K, its #2 best-selling device, we’re going to make the decision very easy for you: don’t buy either of them. Instead of going with a brand new streaming device, pick up a Certified Refurbished Fire TV Stick 4K with Alexa Voice Remote right now on Amazon for just $44.99. They’re rarely in stock, so this is a great opportunity to save.
A $10 difference between these two great media streamers is big enough to make you wonder if 4K and HDR support are worth the upgrade. But with the difference between them down to $5, there’s really no reason to skimp. Content will look so much better on your big screen, and there aren’t really any complex moving parts so there isn’t really any risk in getting a refurbished model. Plus, certified refurbs are guaranteed so you can return it for a full refund within 90 days if it’s not up to snuff.
If there’s one reason not to grab a Fire TV Stick 4K refurb, it’s if you’re one of the chosen few who is lucky enough to be eligible for Amazon’s secret sale. A select few customers can pick up a brand new Fire TV Stick 4K for just $24.99 by using the coupon code 4KFIRETV at checkout. Here’s the terms and conditions page for the deal, but it doesn’t really explain much — just give it a shot. If it doesn’t work, definitely grab a refurb before they sell out.

Motorola’s foldable Razr is already falling apart
With each day that goes by, it’s becoming more apparent that Motorola’s idea of raising the Razr brand from the dead might be the only good thing about the company’s first foldable phone. The Razr is a mid-range device that’s rather expensive, with a foldable screen whose bumps and lumps are normal, and whose hinge might come with an annoying noise right out of the box. The hinge might not even last you through the year, a recent durability test has shown. Not to mention that the Galaxy Z Flip has a few key advantages of the Razr, including hardware, screen quality, and price. If that’s not enough, the Razr just got its own Galaxy Fold moment: The foldable screen broke after only a week of use.

Check out this brilliant deepfake mashup of ‘The Matrix’ and ‘Office Space’
It’s one of the most iconic scenes of the original Matrix film, released back in 1999. That moment when Morpheus, in his low and calming voice, holds out both of his hands, palms open. In one, a red pill. The other, a blue pill. Mr. Anderson, who we’ll come to know as Neo, is given a choice. Of course, the rest of the movie is predicated on the fact that the red pill is chosen, with Neo choosing to “stay in Wonderland” so that Morpheus can show him “how deep the rabbit hole goes.”
But what if he would have chosen the blue pill instead? What if he would have chosen to wake up back home in his bed, to go back to normal life — or, rather, to what he believes is “normal life?” As excitement continues to mount for the long-awaited fourth film in the Matrix franchise which is coming next year, one YouTuber decided to have a little fun playing with that question. Specifically, it’s a YouTuber who’s quite proficient at making enjoyable deepfake videos and who’s done the same thing here. This time, it’s the deepfake mashup of The Matrix and Office Space that you never knew you needed.

Scientists discover ancient turtle that was as large as a car
If you were to list the creatures that scare you today, turtles probably wouldn’t be near the top of the list. Sure, a snapping turtle can destroy a finger or two, but generally speaking, turtles are pretty chill. If you happened to be hanging out in South America five to ten million years ago, however, you might have come across a turtle that wasn’t just scary, but downright massive.
The turtle, which is the subject of a new research paper published in Science Advances, was a true goliath. Weighing in at over 2,500 pounds, the beast now known by the scientific name Stupendemys geographicus would have been as large as a mid-sized car.

A new service will print your face on a mask so you can still unlock your phone while avoiding germs
The coronavirus is a real concern right now, especially if you happen to live in a heavily-populated area and worry about potential infections. The new virus has the same symptoms as the flu and has to be diagnosed using special tests, which means anyone could be infected. Again, that’s if you live in a region where a significant number of cases have been confirmed already. There’s no reason to panic over the new virus, and you won’t get it if nobody in your area has it.
Protective gear such as masks can help prevent the spread of the virus, but it’s not a guarantee that you won’t come in contact with the virus. If anything, the use of face masks helps you protect others from your own germs. And the coronavirus isn’t the only thing spreading this season. So is the flu, which can be even deadlier than the coronavirus. One of the downsides of using a face mask is that it might make it impossible to use your phone if you rely on a face scanner system to unlock it. However, someone already thought of a clever solution to this problem: Print your face on N95 masks so that you can unlock your phone while you wear them.

Coronavirus may force Apple to delay AirPods Pro Lite production
With scientists and researchers still working hard to stop the spread of the coronavirus, the epidemic is having a tangible impact on manufacturing in China. While some companies have been actively looking to shift manufacturing resources to Taiwan, overall production across a range of products is expected to take a hit.
As it pertains to Apple, a new report from DigiTimes relays that the coronavirus might see Apple release its rumored AirPods Pro Lite a little bit later than initially anticipated. Word of Apple’s potentially releasing a more wallet-friendly version of its popular AirPods Pro first surfaced last week, though we haven’t seen any details regarding how much it might cost or what features it might leave out as to differentiate it from Apple’s AirPods Pro.

Watch Boston Dynamics’ robot dog Spot haul Adam Savage in a rickshaw
Boston Dynamics has been striking fear into the hearts of the general public for years now. The company’s robotic creations are incredible, and sometimes a little bit scary, but generally speaking, they’re just really, really impressive pieces of technology. In the newest episode of Tested, hosted by Adam Savage, the former Mythbuster turns one of Boston Dynamics’ most iconic creations into a method of transportation.
In the video, the robot “dog” Spot stars as a rickshaw puller, hauling Savage around at relatively modest speeds. However, if you think getting a robot dog to pull you around is a simple endeavor, you should probably think again.

Finally, here’s a secret weapon to use against all those despicable robocallers
It’s probably fitting that I’ve already had to fend off one robocall while typing this. “This,” being the following news — if you’re reading these words, then statistically you’re probably one of the millions of Americans bombarded with robocalls and spam calls each year, something that usually elicits a quick hang-up or a tap of the “decline” button on your phone. One app, however, wants to give us a new tool to address these calls. A tool, in fact, that will let users sue robocallers for up to $3,000 for each annoying call they spam you with.
The app is called DoNotPay, which offers a number of solutions including help with appealing parking tickets and an easy way to cancel subscriptions. This new solution is called Robo Revenge, and you can now use it through DoNotPay’s website as well as its mobile app.

Purported OnePlus 8 specs leak contains a few surprising revelations
The first wave of 2020 flagship Android phones is here, with the Galaxy S20 and Xiaomi Mi 10 being the first phones to rock Qualcomm’s brand new Snapdragon 865 processor, which comes with built-in 5G connectivity. These phones also feature insane specs when it comes to RAM and storage, with the 16GB/512GB Galaxy S20 Ultra being a phone that has no rival. It’s also extremely expensive, retailing for $1,599.
But the S20 won’t be the only high-end handset hitting stores this spring, and a much cheaper flagship is right around the corner. The OnePlus 8 series is also expected to rock the same Snapdragon 865 chip, but the new OnePlus phones will be a lot cheaper than Samsung’s without sacrificing performance. In fact, we have a brand new leak that lists the main specs of the purported OnePlus 8 models the Chinese vendor is about to unveil.
