Amazon's Echo Show 8 has plunged to a record low price, making it an attractive Valentine's Day gift option, according to The Verge. Tech enthusiasts are excited about the device's redesign, boosted features, and improved sound quality.
In other deals, the Yamaha SR-C30A soundbar and subwoofer combo is currently discounted at Amazon, Wired reported. The soundbar is available for $230, a $50 reduction from its usual price. Wired highlighted the ease of setup, noting that thanks to HDMI eARC, only an HDMI connection to the television and power for both the soundbar and subwoofer are needed.
Beyond tech deals, Wired also featured several "sexy gifts" for Valentine's Day, including "The Adventure Challenge Couples Edition," a book offering date ideas, and subscription boxes like Adore Me's "The Elite Box" and "The Fantasy Box."
In other news, Time magazine highlighted the plight of oceanic whitetip sharks, once abundant in the open ocean. These sharks are rapidly disappearing due to the illegal trade of their fins for shark fin soup. DNA testing on over 16,000 fins in Hong Kong, the world's largest shark fin market, revealed that the species appeared 70 times more often than governments reported, according to Time. Traders trafficked fins from over 36,000 illegally caught oceanic whitetip sharks in just three years.
Time also published a list of the best new books to read in February, including "The End of Romance" by Lily Meyer, a novel about a woman fleeing an abusive marriage. The magazine suggested that February is a good month to "hunker down with literary equivalents of Valentines Day chocolates, escaping from ice-glazed sidewalks into new worlds."
