Tech enthusiasts and bargain hunters alike have a lot to celebrate this Presidents' Day and Valentine's Day, with deals on popular gadgets and new software developments. According to The Verge, the Beats Studio Buds Plus are on sale for 41 percent off, and Wired reported on various Sony deals, including 45% off Bravia televisions and 30% off Sony headphones and earbuds. Meanwhile, Hacker News highlighted advancements in the Zig programming language and a job opportunity at a Y Combinator-backed AI startup.
The Verge's Valentine's Day gift guide, published on February 13, 2026, offered a curated list of creative gift ideas for partners, moving away from traditional, potentially "cringe" options. The guide, compiled by Brandon Widder and Cameron Faulkner, aimed to provide alternatives to the typical floral arrangements and heart-shaped chocolates often associated with the holiday.
For those looking to upgrade their audio experience, the Beats Studio Buds Plus are a notable deal, as reported by The Verge. Sheena Vasani, who writes about tech news for The Verge, noted that these earbuds are a good option for those who like how AirPods work with iPhones but want something more colorful and flexible.
Wired's report on Sony deals revealed significant discounts across various product categories. Sony Bravia models, which consistently rank among the best TVs, are available at a reduced price. Additionally, deals on headphones, earbuds, cameras, and lenses were also highlighted, providing consumers with opportunities to save on high-quality electronics.
In the realm of software development, Hacker News featured a "Devlog" entry detailing recent changes to the Zig programming language. According to the entry, iouring and Grand Central Dispatch implementations for std.Io were recently added. These implementations, based on userspace stack switching, are now available for experimentation.
Also on Hacker News, an ex-technical founder and product engineer at Cogram, an AI platform for the architecture, engineering, and construction industry, was seeking a new role. The position, based in Berlin, BE, DE, offered a salary range of 70K - 130K EUR and was open to remote applicants. Cogram, backed by Y Combinator and Initialized, aims to automate project administration tasks within the $13 trillion architecture, engineering, and construction industry.
