Ever since the party was taken over by Donald Trump, Republicans have backed away from speaking of debt reduction as an important goal.

Amazon revives the Echo Spot smart alarm clock and swiftly discounts it by 44 percent

https://o.aolcdn.com/images/dims?image_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fs.yimg.com%2Fos%2Fcreatr-uploaded-images%2F2024-07%2Fe2db8890-3980-11ef-a7fd-7a535b4bd9f7&resize=1400%2C787&client=19f2b5e49a271b2bde77&signature=2a46022517509846d5deaac9a5cc3dfc4dda25a4

As early Prime Day deals continue to become available, Amazon has revealed an all-new Echo Spot ahead of the shopping event. It’s very much like the original Echo Spot that came out in 2017 and was discontinued two years later except the front face is now split between a hemispherical display and speaker.

The Echo Spot's outer shell comes in Black, Glacier White and Ocean Blue, and the display can be customized with six hues: magenta, violet, orange, lime, teal or blue, which can be mixed- and-matched with various clock faces. The new Echo Spot costs $80, which is $50 cheaper than the original model — but if you’re a Prime member, you can get it for $45 through Prime Day.

Amazon says the new model comes with better sound and a sharper display. Time will tell if the reboot suffers from the same screen flicker issues as its predecessor. Otherwise, the conceit is more or less identical: it's a bare-bones smart alarm clock that, via Alexa integration, can manage a few simple tasks like providing the weather forecast or showing song titles when playing music from your streaming app of choice.

Arguably, the best part about the new Echo Spot is that it doesn’t have a camera. The original model had one baked in, which was useful for video chats, but not everyone was enthused about having a camera sitting on their bedside.

Google Maps' speedometer finally comes to iOS and CarPlay

https://o.aolcdn.com/images/dims?image_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fs.yimg.com%2Fos%2Fcreatr-uploaded-images%2F2024-07%2F5495e870-3e24-11ef-bdff-b85160bd6762&resize=1400%2C873&client=19f2b5e49a271b2bde77&signature=240bd14720bdb462bfa8bcfc637a3498c6caa78a

Google Maps is rolling out a speedometer as well as speed limit indicators for iOS and CarPlay, TechCrunch reported. Android has had both features since 2019, while Waze has had them since 2016. Now, iPhone users can use them to gauge how fast they’re driving while using Google Maps.

To enable it, tap your profile picture on Google Maps and go to Settings > Navigation. Scroll down to the Map display section, and you’ll see the switches for the speedometer and speed limit features. When enabled, the speedometer will appear in the bottom left corner of the screen. If you drive over the speed limit the speedometer will change colors to remind you to slow down.

Google said on its support page that the speedometer is for “informational use only” and should not be used as a substitute for your car’s actual speedometer. This is because your actual driving speed may differ from the speed shown on Google Maps. Just something to bear in mind for your own safety.

The new speeding features were spotted being used by iPhone owners in India, and Google will roll them out worldwide in the coming weeks.

Early Prime Day deals bring the Fire Max 11 tablet down to $140

https://o.aolcdn.com/images/dims?image_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fs.yimg.com%2Fos%2Fcreatr-uploaded-images%2F2024-07%2F1b891d60-3ae4-11ef-bebf-f7a24d81e34e&resize=1400%2C787&client=19f2b5e49a271b2bde77&signature=e95652f7fbc58fdfb220714161973aaf1c07876c

Amazon Prime Day will officially arrive next week on July 16, but we're already starting to see good deals pop up. Amazon's Fire Max 11 tablet has fallen back down to $140 as part of the company's Prime Day deals. Normally $230, the large slate is now $90 off — precisely what you'd need to spend for Amazon's Fire Max 11 Keyboard Case.

The Fire Max 11 features, you guessed it, an 11-inch screen with a sharp 2,000 by 1,200 pixel resolution. Its octa-core CPU should be plenty for streaming media and browsing maps, and it also features 4GB of RAM. The Fire Max 11 ships with either 64GB or 128GB of storage, and you can expand that to 1TB using an additional microSD card. It sports 8MP cameras on the front and back for video calls, as well as 1080p video recording. With an estimated 14 hours of battery life, the Fire Max 11 should make for a great road trip companion for the summer.

In our hands-on with the Fire Max 11, we found it to feel more like a premium tablet, compared to Amazon's cheaper and kid-friendly Fire line. "With slimmer bezels, a more-premium aluminum build and weighing just over a pound, it's designed for those who also want to do some work and multi-tasking," Engadget's Cherlynn Low wrote.

With this new low price, it makes sense to pair the Fire Max 11 with Amazon's $90 keyboard case. It has a kickstand for propping up the tablet, and it delivers a decent typing and touchpad experience. You can also add on Amazon's $35 Stylus Pen for doodling and jotting down notes. With all of those accessories, the Fire Max 11 could be nearly as productive as an iPad or Surface decked out with similar hardware.

Hackers accessed cell phone numbers of 2FA app Authy users

Twilio says hackers identified cell phone numbers of two-factor app Authy users

https://techcrunch.com/2024/07/03/twilio-says-hackers-identified-cell-phone-numbers-of-two-factor-app-authy-users/?utm_source=hs_email&guccounter=2

A phone number in the hands of a hacker poses significant security risks. Hackers can exploit this information through social engineering tactics or by colluding with unethical carrier employees to execute a SIM swap attack. This allows them to hijack your phone number, potentially bypassing two-factor authentication (2FA) systems that rely on text messages. Such breaches can lead to unauthorized access to various accounts and sensitive information. To mitigate these risks, it's advisable to take proactive measures to secure your phone number. One recommended approach is to use a secure provider like Efani or Cloaked Wireless, which offer enhanced protection against SIM swapping and other phone-based security threats.
