Retailers are offering significant discounts on a range of gadgets and electronics ahead of Presidents Day, with deals on earbuds, speakers, TVs, and smart home tech, according to The Verge. Meanwhile, the U.S. and Europe remain intertwined despite any potential rifts, according to a Fortune analyst.
The Verge reported that strong discounts are returning across various categories, with Presidents Day, following Valentine's Day and the Super Bowl, driving the deals. The outlet highlighted that it was rounding up the biggest discounts on a variety of tech products.
In other tech news, Wired provided insights into the best Samsung Galaxy phones, with the Galaxy S25 and S25 Ultra being highlighted as top choices. The outlet also discussed the best Windows laptops, recommending the Microsoft Surface Laptop 13.8-inch (7th Edition) as the best overall, and the Dell XPS 14 (2026) as the best upgrade. Wired also warned about the potential dangers of Google's AI Overviews, which can contain errors and be used in scams.
According to Dan Alamariu, chief geopolitical strategist at Alpine Macro, the U.S. and Europe are too intertwined militarily and economically to split. He noted that U.S. geopolitical dominance depends on European allies, even as NATO members increase military spending. Alamariu predicted a path of "messy coexistence" with periodic trade clashes, louder rhetoric, and gradual European autonomy, alongside continued alignment on key issues.
