Tech Deals & Discoveries: Drone Discount, Data Savings, and MacBook Mystery!

Antigravity's A1 360-degree drone is currently available at a 15 percent discount, marking the first price drop for the model since its release, according to The Verge. The discount, which is available across all bundles, is valid through February 9th.

The Verge reported that the most affordable option of the Antigravity A1 drone is nearly $250 off its original $1,599 starting price. Cameron Faulkner of The Verge noted that customers could "save hundreds" on the drone or "opt for the bundle with more gear."

In other news, Apple's documentation for the MacBook Pro's DFU (device firmware update) port was found to be inaccurate, according to Hacker News. The Apple support document, "How to identify the DFU port on Mac," incorrectly stated the DFU port location for some MacBook Pro models with Apple silicon.

According to the Apple support document, the DFU port location for MacBook Pro models with Apple silicon is as follows: 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 or M5 chip: The rightmost USB-C port when you're facing the left side of the Mac All other models: The leftmost USB-C port when you're facing the left side of the Mac. A Hacker News user discovered that for a 16-inch MacBook Pro with an M4 Pro chip, the DFU port was actually on the right side of the Mac, contrary to Apple's documentation. The user stated that "for some damn reason, it matters which port your external disk is plugged into when you install or update macOS, as described by the Apple support doc."

Meanwhile, Nature News issued a publisher correction to an article titled "A domed pachycephalosaur from the early Cretaceous of Mongolia," originally published on September 17, 2025. The correction involved an amendment to the copyright line, which now reads "North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources and the Authors, under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Limited" in both the HTML and PDF versions of the article. The authors of the article are affiliated with the Department of Biological Sciences, North Carolina State University, and the Institute of Paleontology, Mongolian Academy of Sciences.

Wired highlighted several prepaid phone plans as alternatives to traditional postpaid subscription plans. US Mobile, ATT, Tello, and Boost Mobile were featured as providers offering competitive prepaid options. Wired noted that "prepaid plans don't tie you down" with contracts, allowing customers to pay in advance each month and leave at any time.
