Prime Day deal: The Amazfit Bip U Pro smartwatch is $56 (save $14)

Prime Day deal: The Amazfit Bip U Pro smartwatch is $56 (save $14)

This story is part of Amazon Prime Day, CNET's guide to everything you need to know and how to find the best deals.

So many Prime Day deals, so little time. (Literally: the sale ends tomorrow.) Here's a good one: For a limited time, and while supplies last, the Amazfit Bip U Pro smartwatch drops to $56 at checkout. Regular price: $70 (already a bargain). It's available in your choice of black, green or pink.

The Bip U Pro is an upgraded version of the Bip U; both hit the market late last year. There's little point in buying the latter when the Pro is just $10 more (sale prices notwithstanding) and adds one crucial feature: built-in GPS. It also adds built-in Alexa, which isn't nearly as crucial but can be nice to have.

Like the majority of Amazfit watches, this one packs in a wealth of features -- some implemented better than others, but overall a solid roster. It sports a razor-sharp 1.43-inch color screen, heart-rate and blood-oxygen monitors, over 60 sport modes, women's health tracking and a battery that's good for up to nine days.

What you don't get here is an always-on option. If that's important to you, consider the Amazfit Bip S, which is currently also sale for $55 at Amazon (but has been as low as $55) and has a lower-resolution transflective screen. However, it offers only about 10 sport modes and no Alexa.

None of the Bip models let you reply to or dictate text messages, and they don't automatically detect workouts. The clunky, sometimes confusing companion app -- bafflingly named Zepp -- remains a thorn in the entire Amazfit lineup, but it's far from a deal-breaker.

Indeed, based on the couple weeks I spent with the Bip U Pro, it might just be the star of that lineup. The hardware is superb, the fitness features capable, the price borderline unbelievable. (That said, B&H Photo had it for $50 as part of a Father's Day sale, and that deal is likely to resurface at some point.)

Your thoughts?

Apple to loosen rules on App Store payments in South Korea, report says

Apple to loosen rules on App Store payments in South Korea, report says

Apple will reportedly allow alternative payment systems on its App Store in South Korea as part of a move to comply with new regulations in the country. On Tuesday, the Korea Communications Commission said Apple had submitted plans for the change, according to reports from The Korea Herald and Reuters. 

Apple didn't immediately respond to a request for comment but told Reuters it looks "forward to working with the KCC and our developer community on a solution that benefits our Korean users."

Last year, South Korea passed a law that prohibits tech giants like Google and Apple from requiring developers to use their in-app purchase systems. It also prevents app store operators from unreasonably delaying approval of apps or deleting already approved ones.

Google in November said it would allow Android app developers to add an alternative in-app billing system for people in the country for both mobile and tablet apps.

Representatives for the KCC couldn't immediately be reached for comment.

12 keyboard shortcuts every chromebook owner needs to improve 12 keyboard shortcuts every chromebook owner needs list 12 keyboard shortcuts every chromebook owner needs more cowbell 12 keyboard shortcuts every chromebook owner s manual yamaha psa 12 keyboard acer switch alpha 12 keyboard fifa 12 keyboard controls

12 keyboard shortcuts every Chromebook owner needs to know

12 keyboard shortcuts every Chromebook owner needs to know

Chrome OS is a blissfully streamlined operating system that is easy to use. Keyboard shortcuts, however, can make navigating your Chromebook even easier. Here are the top dozen shortcuts.

1. Alt + Search

One of the first things you'll notice about a Chromebook's keyboard is the caps-lock key has a magnifying glass on it. Instead of locking caps, this key calls up Chrome OS's search window. You can still do caps lock, however, by hitting the search key while holding down the Alt key.

2. Shift + Escape

This is the Chrome OS equivalent of Windows' Ctrl-Alt-Delete. Shift-Esc calls up Chrome's Task Manager where you can see which apps are using the most system resources and force quit an unresponsive app. This keyboard shortcut only works when Chrome is your active window; it won't work if you have an app as its own window as your top-most, active window.

3. Search + L

Hit this combo when you get up from your Chromebook to lock it. You'll need to enter you password upon your return to unlock it.

4. Ctrl + Shift + Q(x2)

Hold down Ctrl and Shift and hit the Q key twice to log out of your Chromebook.

5. Alt + 1-9

If you have pinned your favorite apps to Chrome OS's shelf, then you can use these shortcuts to open them. Alt-1 opens the leftmost app pinned to the shelf, for example, while Alt-9 opens the rightmost app.

7. Alt + [ or ]

These two shortcuts are great for multitasking. The left bracket combo docks the active window to the left side of your screen, and the right bracket does the opposite, letting you quickly set up side-by-side windows.

8. Alt + -

Alt plus the minus-sign key minimizes your active window. With your desktop clear, this combo will the restore the last window you minimized.

9. Alt + =

Alt plus the equals key stretches your current active window across your desktop. It's not quite full-screen mode because it leaves the header at the top of the window. You can use the full-screen key (found in the F4 spot) to go full screen.

10. Alt + backspace

The backspace key deletes the character to the left of your cursor. Windows PCs, however, have a separate delete key that deletes characters to the right of the cursor. To get this Windows delete-key functionality on a Chromebook, just hold down the Alt key when you backspace.

11. Ctrl + 'switch window' key

The switch window key is usually found in the F5 spot on a Chromebook keyboard. Combined with the Ctrl key, it takes a screenshot of your entire desktop and saves it to your Downloads folder. To take a screenshot of only a portion of your desktop, use Ctrl + Shift + switch window key.

12. Ctrl + Alt + /

It's easier to think of this combo as using the ? symbol, which is the shifted version of the forward-slash. If you have a question about keyboard shortcuts, this combo calls up a keyboard overlay to show you the various keyboard shortcuts available for Chrome OS.

Apple watch se s lack of always on display actually isn t a cutie anime apple watch se s lack of always on display actually isn t life strange lyrics apple watch se s lack of always on display actually isner apple watch se s lack of always on display actually isnull apple watch se s lack of always on display actually funny apple watch se specs apple watch series 4 apple watch bands apple watch series 7

Apple Watch SE's lack of always-on display actually isn't a deal breaker: Our first impressions

Apple Watch SE's lack of always-on display actually isn't a deal breaker: Our first impressions

Featuring WatchOS 7, water resistance and a proprietary dual-core S5 processor, the Apple Watch SE serves as a cheaper alternative to the flagship Apple Watch Series 6. The Apple Watch SE starts at $279 (£269, AU$429). It comes in cellular and Wi-Fi-only variants and ships out Sept. 18.

Though it doesn't have all the same high-end features as the Series 6, such as blood oxygen level measuring and an electocardiogram (EKG or ECG) sensor, the Watch SE still has some features that are new to WatchOS 7. That includes new watch faces and Family Setup. Staple features such as sleep tracking, fall detection and messaging are also built into the Watch SE. 

One particular software feature that is missing from the Watch SE is the lack of an always-on display. Introduced in the Watch Series 5 last year and continued in the Watch Series 6, an always-on display doesn't require you to raise your wrist or tap the screen to look at the time or check for notifications.

The Apple Watch SE with the Solo and Braided loops.

Apple/Screenshot by Lynn La/CNET

As big fans of the always-on display, we believed this would be a deal breaker. But during our brief time with the Watch SE, we noticed that the SE's raise-to-wake feature works fast and smoothly enough that we hardly missed the always-on display.

The Watch SE doesn't have as fast as a processor as the Watch Series 6, but the company said the SE is twice as fast as 2017's Series 3 watch. During our time with it, we didn't notice much difference in speed between the Watch SE and the Watch 6.

The Watch SE also looks similar to the Series 6 and has the same brightness and resolution. It will be compatible with Apple's two new watch bands, the Solo and Braided loop, too. We checked out the Solo loop and the material felt very comfortable. Rather than fussing with a fastener, it's convenient to simply slip onto your wrist, which is handy when you have your hands full. Finding the perfect fit is important, however, and Apple provided steps to help you pick the right size. 

Though the Watch SE is cheaper than the Apple Watch Series 6 ($399, £379, AU$599), it's hardly the cheapest wearable on the market. The Galaxy Watch Active 2, for example, costs the same and the Fitbit Versa 2 is cheaper at $200. The SE isn't even the cheapest wearable you can buy new from Apple. The Apple Watch Series 3, which launched in 2017, currently goes for $199.

Razer Blade 15 (2022) Review: Still a Stylish Gaming Laptop for the Deep Pocketed

Razer Blade 15 (2022) Review: Still a Stylish Gaming Laptop for the Deep Pocketed

Razer's Blade gaming laptops don't change much year to year, because why mess with a good thing? There are small improvements to the design but nothing changes too drastically. The 15.6-inch Blade 15 for 2022, for instance, now has laser-cut speaker grills, slightly larger keycaps and the power button is in the keyboard's upper-right corner instead of on the right speaker. The overall look and feel, though, remain basically the same as the last several versions because, again, why mess with a good thing? 

The biggest changes are to the components inside and the display options:

• New 12th-gen Intel Core i7-12800H or Core i9-12900HK processors
  
• 16GB or 32GB of DDR5 memory, upgradeable to 64GB
• 1TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD, upgradeable to 2TB
• Up to Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics
• Full-HD webcam with an IR camera for Windows Hello facial recognition
• 360Hz FHD display with 100% sRGB color gamut, or 240Hz QHD or 144Hz UHD displays with 100% P3 color gamut

Essentially, everything we've liked about past Razer Blade models stands: a streamlined, slim and sturdy design with plenty of ports and a comfortable Razer Chroma RGB keyboard. And now the Blade 15 has the latest from Intel and Nvidia and new high-quality panel options for gaming. However, also like past models, the Razer Blade 15 is by no means a bargain and can get toasty while gaming.

Razer Blade 15 (2022)

Price as reviewed	$3,000
Display size/resolution	15.6-inch 1,920x1,080 360Hz matte display
CPU	2.4GHz Intel Core i7-12800H
Memory	16GB DDR5 4,800MHz
Graphics	8GB Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti graphics
Storage	1TB SSD
Networking	Killer Wireless Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.2
Operating system	Microsoft Windows 11 Home
Ports	Thunderbolt 4 USB-C, USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 (x3), HDMI 2.1 out, SD card reader (UHS-II), 3.5mm combo jack

Good hardware in, good performance out

The 2022 Razer Blade 15 starts at $2,500, £2,600 or AU$4,549, and comes with an Intel Core i7-12800H, 16GB of memory, 1TB SSD and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 graphics. The configuration I tested is $3,000 and bumps up from an RTX 3060 to a 3070 Ti. At that price you can also choose between a 240Hz QHD display or a 360Hz FHD one; I had the latter. 

For a slim laptop, it has no trouble keeping up with the latest games. 

Joshua Goldman/CNET

Going by components alone, the pricing is high. For example, a $3,000 configuration of the 2022 Acer Predator Triton 500 SE gets you a 12th-gen Intel i9-12900H, a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, 32GB of memory, a 1TB SSD and a 16-inch 2,560x1,600-pixel display with a 240Hz refresh rate and 100% P3 color gamut. From a performance standpoint, it's the better way to spend $3,000. But it's not a Razer, which will certainly make a difference to some.

When it comes to performance, there were no surprises from the Blade 15. It's excellent. Results from our benchmark tests follow the review, but it has the power to reach beyond playable frame rates on demanding games at high settings. Predictably, the Blade 15 gets pretty warm while gaming. I really felt it in the palm rests. It was tolerable but noticeable.

Even with good venting, a vapor chamber and raised feet, the Blade 15 is still a heater. 

Joshua Goldman/CNET

With an esports-caliber 360Hz display, it's more likely you'll be dropping to low settings to take full advantage of that refresh rate. After playing several hours of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, jumping back and forth between 60Hz and 360Hz, it made a clear difference in my accuracy and response time. There's a MUX switch in Razer's Synapse software, too. That lets you choose between Nvidia's Optimus technology, which automatically changes from integrated to the discrete GPU as needed to balance performance and battery life, or the discrete graphics that improve performance and lowers latency. 

Unless you competitively play first-person shooters like CS: GO, Fortnite or Overwatch, the 360Hz display is likely more than you need. The same configuration is available for $3,000 but with the 240Hz QHD display and would be my first choice, because you get both a high refresh rate and higher resolution and wider color gamut. Plus, it has Advanced Optimus, which automates the MUX switch; with the 360Hz display, using the MUX switch to use the discrete graphics alone requires a reboot. 

The Blade 15 has HDMI 2.1 out and Thunderbolt 4. 

Joshua Goldman/CNET

With the 360Hz display, battery life was OK, reaching 5 hours, 5 minutes on our video streaming test. However, Razer makes it easy to drop to a 60Hz refresh rate when not gaming. Between that and the MUX switch, you can extend battery life more. Also, when you're not gaming on the go, the Blade 15 can be charged via its Thunderbolt 4 port with a 20-volt USB-C power adapter so you don't need to carry its larger power supply. Note: Razer now includes a two-year limited battery warranty for all Blade models.

There's little I would change about the Razer Blade 15. It would be nice if an AMD version arrived eventually. I also wouldn't mind Razer moving to a 16:10 16-inch display size, or if the keycaps weren't completely flat and nearly flush with the Blade's body. And it would be amazing if Razer made wirelessly connecting its gaming headsets, mice and keyboards to its laptops as simple as Samsung has with its Galaxy devices and Galaxy Book laptops. (OK, that last one is just me thinking out loud, but still.) As it stands, the Blade 15 delivers an experience worthy of its higher price. It's just up to you if you care more about the experience or performance for your money.

When is house of the dragon episode 3 released in your own when is house of the dragon episode 3 released in the giver when is house of the dragon episode 3 coming out when is house of the scorpion when is house of gucci streaming when is house of dragons starting when is housekeeping week 2022 when is super bowl 2023

When Is 'House of the Dragon' Episode 3 Released in Your Time Zone?

When Is 'House of the Dragon' Episode 3 Released in Your Time Zone?

In episode 2 of House of the Dragon, titled The Rogue Prince, we got to see some of the scheming and intrigue that made Game of Thrones so famous. We'll find out what episode 3 has in store for us on Sunday night when it airs on HBO.

House of the Dragon is a Game of Thrones prequel that's all about the Targaryen family. It specifically chronicles the peak and subsequent fall of House Targaryen; it's based on a book called Fire and Blood that details a civil war over the iron throne called The Dance of the Dragons. House of the Dragon is set about 200 years before Daenerys Targaryen became the Mother of Dragons.

Like Game of Thrones before it, House of the Dragon will air one episode at a time. (And we now know it'll return for a second season.) It has its predecessor's old prime-time slot: 9 p.m. PT on Sunday. The show will hit streaming services around the world at the same time, including HBO Max in the US.

Here's when House of the Dragon hits a TV or streaming service near you, no matter where you are across the globe.

House of the Dragon airs on HBO at 9 p.m. PT/ET, but hits HBO Max at 9 p.m. ET -- meaning those in the West Coast can watch it three hours earlier (6 p.m. PT) on the streaming service. Those in UK and Ireland will have to stay up late, as the show airs on Sky UK at 2 a.m. the next day. In Australia, it'll air on Foxtel and Binge at 11 a.m. AEST.

Here are some other time zones, as well as the channels and streaming services House of the Dragon will be available on.

Canada, Crave: 9 p.m., Sept. 4.
Latin America, HBO Max: 9 p.m., Sept. 4.
Portugal, HBO Max: 2 a.m., Sept. 5.
Spain, HBO Max: 3 a.m., Sept. 5.
Italy, Sky Italy: 3 a.m., Sept. 5.
Finland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, HBO Max: 3 a.m., Sept. 5.
Germany and Austria, Sky Germany: 3 a.m., Sept. 5.
Switzerland, RTS: 3 a.m., Sept. 5.
Israel, Cellcom: 4 a.m., Sept. 5.
Middle East, OSN: 5 a.m. Dubai Time, Sept. 5.
Japan, U-Next: 10 a.m., Sept. 5.
Singapore, HBO Asia: 9 a.m., Sept. 5.
New Zealand, Sky SoHo: 1 p.m., Sept. 5.

Game of Thrones was one of the world's most acclaimed serial dramas, renowned for bringing Hollywood blockbuster production to your TV set. Some of the show's shine faded in the final two seasons, however, as the HBO show was created at a faster pace than Martin could crank out new books. The sixth book in the Song of Fire and Ice series, Winds of Winter, is notorious for constant delays.

Luckily, House of the Dragon allows HBO to once again copy from Martin's notes. The show is based on Fire and Blood, a book Martin wrote in 2018. Fire and Blood is the first of two volumes Martin is writing on the Targaryen dynasty: House of the Dragon picks up roughly halfway through it.

Should i get a smartwatch new smart watches coming out newly launched smart watch what do i watch next next generation smart watches samsung s next smartwatch your next five moves pdf

Your Next Smartwatch May Have 90 Hours of Battery Life and Maybe a Camera Too

Your Next Smartwatch May Have 90 Hours of Battery Life and Maybe a Camera Too

People often gripe about smartwatch battery life, and for good reason, as even premium watches like the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 last only two to three days before needing a recharge. But Qualcomm's upcoming W5 chips promise to extend battery life by up to 24 hours thanks to a slew of performance and efficiency advancements.

These new designs, officially called the Snapdragon W5 and W5 Plus, are the successors to the Snapdragon 4100 and 4100 Plus that powered the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, TicWatch 3 Pro and other wearables that statistically few people actually bought. Qualcomm said its new silicon achieves better battery life by reducing the chip's size to 4nm. That's just a fraction of the 80,000 nanometer size of a human hair, and down from 12nm in the 4100 series.

Qualcomm's W5 Plus has all those benefits, plus an extra feature to eke out even more battery life of up to 24 hours longer than with the prior 4100 Plus chip. The W5 Plus pulls this off with what's called a co-processor, or effectively a separate computer chip designed to do basic tasks, like displaying notifications. 

In the W5 Plus, Qualcomm has also decreased how much of the chip's various parts "wake up" to do something, leaving the rest  dormant to save even more battery. For instance, when going for a run or listening to music, only the satellite GPS location service, Wi-Fi, and audio portions functions would be active. Qualcomm's senior director of Head and Wearables, Pankaj Kedia, compared it to only turning on a few lights to get to the kitchen at night instead of wastefully flipping on every light in the house. "The rest of the SoC is power collapsed so you get longer battery life," Kedia said.

Qualcomm's steady drumbeat of wearable advances are arriving as smartwatches are becoming more common. Smartwatches have already outsold the entire Swiss watch industry. The questions facing tech companies now are whether smartwartwatches will remain a relatively niche product among techies and fitness enthusiasts, or whether new functionality can make them essential to more customers' lives. 

Apple, which is by far the most popular smartwatch maker, is rumored to be making a ruggedized Apple Watch meant for extreme sports and could reveal it later this year. Meanwhile, Google is working on a new smartwatch called the Pixel Watch that's expected to launch in the fall alongside the upcoming Google Pixel 7 to compete with Apple and Samsung's premium watches, though there's no word on Pixel Watch pricing. 

It's also not clear what kind of chipset will power the Pixel Watch, so a lot of its capabilities are unknown -- except that it will run Wear OS 3, Google's wearable operating system that integrates parts of Samsung's Tizen OS. That gives it a similar advantage as the Apple Watch: using their own software for a better integration with hardware. 

"On the watch side, the problem is that the silicon needs to be tightly integrated with the end product," said Avi Greengart, president and lead analyst at research firm Techsponential. "While Qualcomm has had silicon products with the [Snapdragon] 3100 and 4100, it hasn't been able to tie those with software and hardware in a product consumers want to buy anywhere near what Apple has been able to do." 

Despite the competition, Qualcomm's W5 series has features that could pave the way for the next generation of wearables. 

Battery, battery, battery

One key feature of Qualcomm's W5 Plus chip is its battery life. The W5 promises longer wear times, but the W5 Plus, with its extra power-saving features, can get up to 24 hours more battery life than before. Given most Apple Watch models won't last longer than a day, and even the leading Wear OS watches last three days at most, getting more battery life is a big deal.

That focus on battery life is also likely why the Snapdragon W5 series doesn't support 5G. The newer cellular technology promises faster web surfing but is still a battery hog. So, for now, any cellular-connected watches will be able to connect only to older, slower 4G LTE networks for mobile service (but don't worry, your music will still stream just fine). Qualcomm declined to comment on when we'd see a wearable with 5G capabilities.

That 4G LTE ceiling also applies to other devices using the W5 too. Facebook's Ray-Ban Stories photo and video-sharing glasses, for example, used the older Snapdragon 4100 chipset, Qualcomm said. Future augmented reality glasses may use the W5, and though they won't have 5G, they would likely benefit from the rest of the chipset's battery efficiencies. That could help make the glasses easier to design with smaller batteries, which are critical for making them look as normal as possible. 

W5 Series: An actual Dick Tracy watch?

You may not know it, but Qualcomm chips have supported cameras since 2018. Back then, the company's chip powered the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3, which didn't come with a camera. Only a few smartwatches have come out with the ability to take photos and videos, and they've either launched in China or been designed for kids. Mainstream smartwatches haven't implemented cameras, but Qualcomm thinks that might change with the W5, because it has better battery life that would make taking photos less burdensome. 

This includes two-way video calling, a feature that gadget nerds have been dreaming about since the Dick Tracy days, as well as smoother video playback and Memoji-style 3D watch faces, all made possible with cameras on watches. 

Qualcomm said it's notched 25 products that are currently being developed with its W5. The first will be the next-generation Oppo Watch coming in August with the W5 chip. Qualcomm said an unnamed TicWatch will be the first to use its W5 Plus, though the chipmaker didn't have any details to share about it, including if it would have a camera. Qualcomm's Kedia also declined to say whether any of the remaining 23 devices were AR glasses.

"I wish I could share the 25 customers in the pipeline -- they bring a whole new meaning to the next-generation wearables," Kedia said.
