Will wonders never cease? We thought Amazon was done with its killer device deals after Valentine’s Day, but apparently Presidents Day has inspired everyone’s favorite online retailer because one of our favorite deals is back. For a limited time, you can snag the $50 Fire TV Stick 4K with all-new Alexa Voice Remote for just $39.99, which is what Apple typically charges for the older Fire TV Stick model without 4K, HDR, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision support. This is by far the best deal in media streaming, though if you don’t care about better resolution and color reproduction you can also snag that lesser Fire TV Stick model for only $29.99 right now.

Man who strangled mountain lion in self-defense tells his story

%name Man who strangled mountain lion in self defense tells his story by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Last week, news broke of a then-unidentified man who was forced to defend himself against a mountain lion when it attacked him on a recreational trail in Colorado. He’s spent the time since the attack recovering from his injuries, and he’s now come forward and identified himself as Travis Kauffman.

Kauffman’s tale of how he dispatched the feline predator with his bare hands is rather dramatic, and in a new video published by the Colorado Parks and Wildlife group he explains exactly how the dangerous scenario played out.

New ‘Avengers: Endgame’ theory says one of our favorite heroes knew about the snap all along

%name New ‘Avengers: Endgame’ theory says one of our favorite heroes knew about the snap all along by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Avengers: Endgame will be a movie about the remaining heroes trying to undo the snap and restore order to the universe. We already know as much, although we don’t know exactly how it’ll happen. We also know that they will win no matter how much it hurts us to witness their sacrifices — there’s no question about it, considering that we’re looking at the one future Doctor Strange saw where Thanos loses the fight. I mean, think about it: Marvel won’t make a movie about any of the other 14 million fights where they lose again. But there may be a character who’s been waiting for the snap to occur all along. And if that’s the case, then it means this character also knows what needs to be done in order to defeat Thanos.

If any of you were scratching your head as to why DC’s Aquaman actually started showing to moviegoers in China before hitting US cinemas, maybe this will help put things in context.

As a testament to the size of the box office there and the scale of what a successful movie looks like in the country, the biggest film in the world right now is actually a Chinese picture. It’s bigger than Infinity War, bigger than anything Marvel — indeed, than anything you’ve heard of. The movie we’re talking about is The Wandering Earth, a sci-fi flick based on work by novelist Liu Cixin with a story that’s built around Chinese astronauts trying to keep earth from being destroyed by the sun.

%name You’re almost out of time to save $70 on the Sony noise cancelling headphones that blow away Bose by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

The Sony WH1000XM3 Bluetooth Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones are by far the best Bluetooth headphones on the planet with active noise cancellation. You might think Bose wears the crown, and that’s an honest mistake since the QC35 headphones are definitely top contenders. As anyone who’s tried both though, and they’ll tell you that the Sony headphones take the cake. So why doesn’t everyone have them? Simple: they cost $350. If you want to snag a pair and save, you’ve got a chance to right now… but it’s a slim chance unless you hustle. Amazon has refurbs available right now for $279.99, which is a huge $70 savings, but there were fewer than 20 pairs in stock at the time of this writing, and that’s both color options combined. Hundreds of our readers have already bought these awesome headphones on sale this week, and it you want to be one of them then you’d better hurry.
