The Echo Dot is Amazon’s most affordable Alexa speaker, so it makes perfect sense that it’s also Amazon’s best-selling Alexa speaker. But if it’s Amazon’s best-selling Alexa speaker at $50, can you imagine how well it would sell if it only cost $19.99? Anker’s Eufy brand doesn’t have the same marketing muscle as Amazon, and that’s why the Eufy Genie Smart Speaker with Hands-Free Amazon Alexa will never sell as well as the Echo Dot. But those in the know are aware that it’s just as good as a Dot, making it the best and most affordable way to add Alexa to any room in your home.

If you’re like me and stopped by one of your local theaters Thursday night to try and score tickets to see Avengers: Endgame this weekend, you no doubt were greeted by the same sight that I was. Despite the late hour, pretty much every parking space was full. An insane, peak Christmas season-level of traffic as fans flooded through the doors at their earliest opportunity, which came Thursday, to finally enjoy Marvel’s three-hour pop culture magnum opus about Earth’s mightiest heroes.

The month of May will be one of the better months the Netflix streaming library has seen in 2019, but, as always, we’re also losing a few gems in the coming weeks. In my personal opinion, the biggest loss will be Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which remains one of my favorite movies and one of Jim Carrey’s best.

The exodus of James Bond movies continues as well, and though we only included two on this list, there are actually seven departing from the streaming next month. Several classics are on the way out, like Jaws and Sixteen Candles, and the collection of Bill Nye, the Science Guy episodes that has lived on the service for quite a while now is expiring too. All in all, not too rough this month, but some of these movies and shows will be missed.

The Apple Watch Series 4 is great, but the benefits over the Series 3 model are pretty minimal.

That price is an all-time low and quite frankly, you would have to be nuts to pass it up.
