Google’s latest Nest Learning Thermostat is $60 off just in time for sweater weather

Google Nest Learning Thermostat (fourth-gen)

As the weather cools, it may be worth investing in a smart thermostat to help lower your energy bills. Right now, Google’s fourth-gen Nest Learning Thermostat is on sale in all three colors for $219.99 ($60 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and The Home Depot, matching its best price of the year and just $10 shy of its all-time low.

Google’s latest Nest Learning Thermostat is its most capable to date, and comes with new features designed to lower energy consumption without sacrificing comfort. Like prior models, it learns your heating and cooling preferences over time and automatically creates a schedule based on your habits, so you don’t have to constantly adjust the temperature yourself. It can also suggest schedule changes to save energy and automatically adjusts the temperature when you’re away. Additionally, it includes a remote temperature sensor in the box, so you can better adjust the temperature in your preferred room, whether that’s the bedroom or another space in your home.

The Nest Learning Thermostat also improves on its predecessor with a beautifully designed adaptive display that shows your temperature settings, the weather, and the time from across the room. When you get closer, it reveals more detailed information, including outdoor air quality and humidity levels. The Matter-ready device also works with more HVAC systems than the third-gen model, along with a host of compatible humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and ventilation equipment. Plus, unlike many smart thermostats, it doesn’t require a C-wire in most homes either, though using one can help ensure consistent power.

Three more deals that aren’t as pricey

  • You can get the black Casio WS-B1000 at Amazon and Walmart for just $23.88 ($41 off), which is its best price to date. The retro-style digital watch lacks advanced health sensors and features like contactless payments, but it does offer some basic fitness tracking, including a built-in step counter and Bluetooth connectivity for syncing your activity data with your phone; it also comes with a stopwatch and alarms. Read our review.
  • We recently highlighted an ongoing deal on a single AirTag, but if you want to stock up, Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart are now selling a four-pack for $69.99 ($30 off), which is the lowest price we’ve seen. Apple’s second-gen AirTag is our top pick for iPhone owners thanks to its impressively precise tracking, which can guide you directly to a lost item. You can also locate items with an Apple Watch Series 9 or later and share an AirTag’s location with participating airlines, such as United and Delta, helping you recover lost luggage.

  • SwitchBot’s 12-inch RGBICWW Ceiling Light is available at Amazon for $36.99 ($12 off) when you clip the on-page coupon, or directly from SwitchBot for the same price with code HWHW26. The Matter-compatible smart light — which is also discounted in a 15-inch size — offers 26 preset scenes, eight lighting effects, and the ability to create your own. The main difference between the two sizes is the brightness: the 15-inch model delivers up to 3,200 lumens, compared to 2,000 lumens for the smaller version.

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...

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...
