With a redesigned casing, a bigger display, and faster charging, the Apple Watch Series 10 is a fantastic upgrade opportunity for anyone who, like me, is more than a few iterations behind. If you’re in the same boat, you might consider jumping on a deal from Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart that takes the 42mm version of the smartwatch down to $329 ($70 off), which matches the record low from Black Friday.

The 46mm Series 10 is also on sale for $359 ($70 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart, which is also its best price to date.

The Apple Watch Series 10’s wide-angle displays are only one millimeter bigger than their Series 9 counterparts, but it’s a noticeable difference. The displays are also 40 percent brighter, while the overall package is a hair thinner. The Series 10 still doesn’t last more than a day as it doesn’t have the Ultra’s battery gains, but it won’t spend as much time on a MagSafe charger as it can get up to 80 percent capacity in 30 minutes.

For tracking your fitness and wellness, the Apple Watch Series 10 can do far more than count your daily steps and close your activity rings. It has optical and ECG heart rate monitors that can check your ticker and track your sleeping, including the ability to detect sleep apnea. It also has a temperature sensor for tracking cycles and other vital metrics, plus water temperature and depth sensors to help with aquatic workouts in shallower waters. It’s not fully waterproof, however, so you’ll want an Ultra if you’re plunging deeper.

A few more Monday deals

  • Now through January 31st, new Woot customers can get Donkey Kong Country Returns HD for Nintendo Switch for $42.99 ($17 off) when using promo code GAMERFIVE. Originally launched on Nintendo Wii and 3DS, the remastered 2D platformer offers barrels of fun — as in, it’s still fun to throw barrels at everything standing in Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong’s way. It’s a throwback that offers all the banana-collecting, cart-riding tropes we love about the series, complete with a fresh coat of paint, new levels, and some helpful gameplay enhancements. Read our review.
  • You can get a pair of Nothing Ear (a) earbuds for $79 at Amazon, which is only $10 more than the all-time low. The noise-canceling earbuds are our favorite pair for under $100, with surprisingly good sound for the price. They also offer an impressive feature set that includes multipoint Bluetooth pairing, a decent IP54 dust and water resistance rating, and even a low-latency mode for gaming. They’re also partially translucent, which is a fun look for anyone fond of microengineering. Read our hands-on impressions.
  • You’d normally pay a hefty ransom for the 34-inch Samsung Odyssey OLED G8, which is a fantastic 21:9 WQHD curved gaming monitor with a 175Hz variable refresh rate, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, and a .03ms response time. That said, now through the end of today, you can get it from eBay for just $639.20 (about $561 off) with code SAVEBIG20. You can choose between Mini DisplayPort 1.4 and two Micro HDMI 2.1 ports for video input. The rear also has a pair of USB ports for peripherals, plus a dynamic RGB light ring that can sync with your games. The monitor has several burn-in protections, including one that automatically detects and lowers the local brightness of static elements. It also has a built-in smart TV platform that supports game streaming and smart home control.

Instagram’s updated algorithm prioritizes original content instead of rip-offs

Image: Kristen Radtke / The Verge Instagram is making significant changes to how its system recommends content, with a focus on original content and increased distribution for smaller accounts. The slew of changes were announced by the company in a blog post today. The biggest change deals with aggregators — accounts that download or screenshot other users’ videos and photos and repost them. Sometimes aggregators will credit the original poster by tagging them in the post or caption, but often, content is wholesale ripped off with no acknowledgment, and engagement is siphoned off from the person who created the content in the first place. Instagram clearly has a problem with this and will begin removing reposted content from recommendations across the platform. The... Continue reading… from The Verge - All Posts https://ift.tt/ECgcPAU

We asked camera companies why their RAW formats are all different and confusing

When you set up a new camera, or even go to take a picture on some smartphones, you’re presented with a key choice: JPG or RAW? JPGs are ready to post just about anywhere, while RAWs yield an unfinished file filled with extra data that allows for much richer post-processing. That option for a RAW file (and even the generic name, RAW) has been standardized across the camera industry — but despite that, the camera world has never actually settled on one standardized RAW format. Most cameras capture RAW files in proprietary formats, like Canon’s CR3, Nikon’s NEF, and Sony’s ARW. The result is a world of compatibility issues. Photo editing software needs to specifically support not just each manufacturer’s file type but also make changes for each new camera that shoots it. That creates pain for app developers and early camera adopters who want to know that their preferred software will just work. Adobe tried to solve this problem years ago with a universal RAW form...
