The original version of the $29 Tracking Card Air was only compatible with Apple’s Find My network. The new version instead supports Google Find Hub for the same price. It’s also still just 1.7mm thick with up to 7 months of battery life that can be extended by dropping the card onto a wireless charger.

The black model is once again selling for $20 off on Amazon, dropping the headphones to $529 ahead of their launch on April 1st. We just published our review, and in short, Apple’s latest pair of over-ears are more of an upgrade than a reinvention, with better sound and ANC. They also add several new features courtesy of Apple’s H2 chip, including live translation and adaptive audio.

If you’re a member of Target’s free loyalty program, Target Circle, you can currently get $30 off your order when you purchase a pair of Nintendo Switch games. The list of eligible titles includes a nice selection of games from both the Switch and Switch 2, including smash hits like Donkey Kong Bananza (pun totally intended).

Bambu Lab has settled with Pop Mart, Tom’s Hardware writes, days before it’d have to defend hosting 3D Labubu files in a Chinese courtroom. (The company had already taken them down and publicly apologized.) You can probably expect other IP rights holders to pressure Bambu now they know it works: Makerworld is full of print-your-own unofficial merch.

Nearly four decades after Jordan Mechner’s original Prince of Persia debuted on the Apple II, a new port called Prince Of Arabia is now available for the Flipper Zero. It’s the full game, including fights and traps, and doesn’t require the Zero’s optional Video Game Module unless you want to play on a bigger screen.

The latest project from Swedish designer Love Hultén is the NES-SY2.0 — a bespoke synthesizer that includes an NES Poly chiptune synth, KeyStep and Flamma FS22 interfaces, and a custom-made MIDI visualizer. And yes, Hultén says the system supports NES game cartridges!

YouTube’s ETA Prime found that a strip of copper, some Noctua thermal paste, and an Arctic Thermal Pad do a surprisingly effective job at dissipating heat from the Neo’s CPU and reducing thermal throttling, as spotted by Tom’s Hardware. The liquid-cooler they add is even more effective, but feels like overkill for most Neo users.

I’ve never had a reason to use Noco’s Boost GB40 jump starter that I bought years ago — until today. I knew the $99.95 12-volt battery would come in handy at some point, but it saved me $65 on a parking ticket. It’s not discounted for Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, yet I think it’s easily worth the full cost. It can jump start six-liter gas engines or three-liter diesel engines up to 20 times per charge.

Starting Monday, wearing smart glasses with audio or video recording is verboten in Philadelphia’s courts. That includes prescription smart glasses. Violators could be arrested and face contempt charges. This follows other state bans and a judge reprimanding Mark Zuckerberg’s team for wearing smart glasses during Meta’s social media addiction trial.
