| January 19, 2023—National Popcorn Day! Kinda self-explanatory, right? Sure, popcorn is a poor substitute for lunch and dinner, but nothing says it can't be a pre- or post-lunch snack, so go pop a fresh bag and dig in. And maybe share? | | | ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds | | | Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): | | 373 articles, 11 podcasts, 14 press releases, 454 tweets, and 25 YouTube videos | | | 1. It's Back! Apple Announces Refresh of HomePod Smart Speaker | | Apple nixed its answer to the Amazon Echo a couple of years ago, but now a second-gen HomePod is here to bring Siri to homes everywhere. Powering the smart speaker? An upgraded version of the Apple Watch Series 7's S7 chip. Nice. It launches on February 3 for $300. | | 2. Apple Teases a Lot of Content to Celebrate Black History Month | | 3. Logitech's Brio 300 Webcams Take the Work Out of Video Call Setup | | Logitech has revealed its new Brio 300 and Brio 305 webcams, both offering 1080p resolution. The pair aim to provide anyone who might need it easy-to-use devices that can give a clear picture and sound, even if their environment isn't ideal for a video call. Very admirable. Both are out now for $69.99. | | | Data: Edison Research, Insider Intelligence | | | Smart speaker adoption slowed down quite a bit in 2022, increasing only 3% compared to 2021. Is interest in the hardware waning? Are people simply satisfied with what they already have? Could be all that and more; we had plenty of options before Apple's new HomePod. | | | 🔥 Today's Hot Deal | The Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum & Mop is a great house cleaner, and we think it's time you added one to your home. It's down to $449.99 on Amazon right now, so go pick one up and start shirking your chores cleaning more efficiently. | | | | | "You get a screen, and you get a screen!" —Evan Killham, Editor | | | You probably heard that Apple has new MacBooks to sell, but this time they're powered by the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips. If you loved the M1 iterations and are getting kind of bored of them (and you have money to spend), maybe consider one of these in 14- or 16-inches. Just please, please don't drop them! | | |
