When it comes to sales, when it rains it pours. Amazon announced its Big Spring Sale earlier this week, and quickly, other major retailers announced their very own sales.

Running through Sunday, March 23, Tech Fest encompasses nearly every category at Best Buy. The tech giant has major savings on laptops, TVs, tablets, headphones, and much, much more. Shop Best Buy's Tech Fest now for all the deals.

Why we like it

Tablets can do so much, offering the power of a laptop in a portable size. And while you can stream your favorite shows and play your favorite games on a tablet, it's also a great e-reader. The Apple iPad Mini is the perfect size for reading. It's about the same size as a hardcover book, and won't strain your wrist for the hours of reading you have ahead of you. And once you're done with your book, it does much more than a Kindle, as you can turn on a movie or browse social media from the same device.

Launched in the back half of 2024, the Apple iPad Mini got an upgrade to the A17 chip. While it usually starts at $499, it's 20% off, bringing it down to $399. That saves you $100 during Best Buy's Tech Fest.

If you want the ease of connectivity from AirPods, but don't want their price tag, look to Beats. The original headphones from Apple offer top-notch sound with the breeze of automatic connectivity with iOS devices. But unlike AirPods, Beats also easily connect to Android devices.

The Studio Pro headphones are the top tier model in Beats line-up. Normally $349.99, they're over 50% off, down to $169.99. That's $180 in savings for long battery life and active noise cancellation.

A good smartwatch can be your constant companion when it comes to handling your day.

A key YouTube feature broke for Android users

Published

By

You'd think Android and YouTube would work together flawlessly, but early this week, that wasn't the case.

As reported and confirmed by 9to5Google, YouTube users on Android devices couldn't change the playback speed on videos. Changing the speed to anything other than 1x would simply not work, as the setting change wouldn't save, acting as if you hadn't done it at all. Obviously, that's not a great user experience, considering that Android and YouTube are both Google's responsibility. It seems a bit strange for Android users specifically to lose access to a core YouTube feature, but that's what happened.

Thankfully, it seems that as of Wednesday morning, the issue has been fixed, per a YouTube community note. The note states that any users still experiencing the issue should simply close and reopen the app. Hopefully, by doing that, you can fix the problem and get back to frame-by-frame analysis of movie trailers at 0.25x speed.

For once, it paid off to use a Google app on iOS instead.

Him trailer: Producer Jordan Peele turns football practice into a bloodbath

Published

On top of directing horror hits Get Out, Us, and Nope, Jordan Peele has produced several exciting genre projects, from Dev Patel's Monkey Man to Nia DaCosta's Candyman, which he also co-wrote. Next up on his production slate is the football horror film Him, directed by Justin Tipping.

Co-written by Skip Bronkie, Zack Akers, and Tipping, Him introduces promising young football star Cameron Cade (Tyriq Withers). Not only does Withers have acting experience from projects like I Know What You Did Last Summer and Atlanta, he was also part of Florida State University's 2017 football team as a wide receiver. Hopefully his experience playing was nothing like Cameron's in Him, though, because the trailer makes it out to be a full-on nightmare.

After suffering a traumatic brain injury at the hands of an unhinged fan, Cameron thinks his football dream is dead. But when his hero, legendary quarterback Isaiah White (Marlon Wayans), offers to train him at his personal compound, he's excited to accept.

However, Isaiah's training methods are far more violent than Cameron realized. (And football is already pretty violent!) We're talking smashing footballs into players' faces until they bleed as punishment.

But that's just the start of the horrors that await in Him, which demands that Cameron sacrifice everything to be the GOAT he so badly wants to be. Check out the unsettling trailer above.

Him also stars Julia Fox, Tim Heidecker, Jim Jefferies, and MMA fighter Maurice Greene, as well as hip-hop artists Guapdad 4000 and Tierra Whack.

Him hits theaters Sept. 19.
