I really like the Roku Pro Series OLED TV. And in some ways, it’s an improvement over the previous Roku Pro. Every time I look at that OLED panel, I think about when OLED TVs first came out and someone would comment about how they have such deep blacks, because they really do.
But in some ways, it’s not quite as good as the Roku Pro Series (2025) because it’s trying to keep the same price point while including a more expensive part (the OLED panel). So, there are trade-offs. The color and brightness are not as brilliant, though that’s par for the course with brightness and OLED. The audio has a little less in the low end. And the shadowbox design is gone, which also means less cable management.
So, I’m a little conflicted. The best TVs at this price point have a little more to offer outside of those deeper blacks. However, I also think it should rank among the best OLED TVs at this price, making OLED TVs just a little more accessible — especially because at the time of reviewing it had dropped to $999, and we're now seeing the price fall to a frankly ridiculous $799 for the 65-inch model.
If you’ve ever looked at an OLED TV and just stared in wonder, but then had to turn away because of the price, then the Roku Pro Series OLED TV is probably for you — as long as your room isn't too bright, because it's limited brightness makes it prone to reflections overpowering the screen.
Roku Pro Series OLED TV review: Price and release dateRoku Pro Series OLED showing contrast with a sene from Sinners (Image credit: Future / James Holland)The Roku Pro Series (2025) I covered last year already came with a limited number of options – specifically coming in 55-, 65-, and 75-inch – but the Roku Pro Series OLED TV reviewed here comes in even fewer flavors. There’s the 55-inch size, which launched at $999.99, and the 65-inch which launched for $1,199.99.
Much like the Roku Pro Series (2025), which was priced at $1,199.99 when first released and goes for $699.99 at the time of writing, the Roku Pro OLED has already had some discounts, with the 65-inch available for $999.99 during my review period. And at the time of publishing, it fell to just $799 for the larger model, which is astonishing value.
The Roku Pro Series OLED TV has been available since the beginning of September of 2026.

This might be a benefit for those who don't like the idea of a voice-activated device always listening in, but it’s a nice feature that I always appreciate. And so it’s a feature I miss on this TV.
That said, there’s still voice support through the remote, so you can press a button and ask the TV to look something up, open settings, or even what the weather is. But it’s not a voice assistant that you can talk to.
As far as HDR support, the Roku Pro Series OLED comes with Dolby Vision, which adjusts the brightness and color on a per-scene basis, but it doesn’t come with the IQ version that I’ve been seeing on similar priced TVs, where the system also takes into account the ambient light levels of the room you're watching in. It also has HDR10+ support — and it's rare to TVs to support both (only Panasonic releases OLED TVs in the US that do both).
Roku hasn't announced any support for Dolby Vision 2, and indicated to TechRadar that there are no plans to add support in the future, at least currently.
Similarly, spatial audio support includes the most important that one would need, Dolby Atmos, but doesn’t come with any DTS support. Now, Dolby is much more prevalent and most people won’t notice the absence, especially if you’re just using the TV speakers, but it’s a notable exclusion. That, rival OLEDs such as the LG B6 and Samsung S85H are also lacking DTS.
If you care about integrating your TV into a smart home ecosystem (and allowing you to talk to it in a roundabout way), the Roku Pro Series OLED TV does support a number of ecosystems. Specifically, you can connect it to Roku Smart Home, Apple Home, Alexa, and Google Home. Oh, and since I mentioned Apple, Apple AirPlay is on hand.
For gaming, you've got 4K 120Hz support and variable refresh rate support, but there's not dedicated quick gaming menu as you get on most other models.
What’s so interesting about the picture quality of the Roku Pro Series OLED TV is that, yes, it has a beautiful OLED panel, but its pedigree as a mid-range TV is still evident. While I’ll mostly speak about my personal experience using the TV, it’s worth mentioning some of the benchmarks and how they prove the point.
BT.2020 color gamut coverage is something touted as something to watch for despite very little content actually using that color range. Still, if content moves in that direction, the Roku Pro Series OLED’s 71% coverage in film maker mode is standard, only falling slightly short of the 72.5% achieved by the LG B6.
When similarly-priced, rival mini-LED TVs such as the TCL QM7L can hit 90.5% and even other OLEDs are hitting over 80% of the BT.2020 range, the Roku Pro OLED's number seems low, but it's in-line with other budget OLEDs. That said, what’s really important is the DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, and that’s a healthy 96% in our testing.
The Roku Pro OLED hit 462 nits of brightness in HDR Dark (its closest equivalent to Filmmaker Mode) on a 10% window. Compared to the rival B6, which hit 835 nits HDR peak brightness on the same 10% window in Filmmaker Mode, the Roku's number is low. While I found that its reflections weren't too different to other TVs I've tested in my bright room, the Roku certainly isn't a bright TV.
The black areas of a screen are just deeper thanks to OLED’s unique feature of turning individuals pixel offs to offer 'perfect' contrast. Because of this, shadows have more depth, benefitting movies like Sinners or The Batman, where much of those movies take place at night or in the shadows.
The screen is also very uniform. I didn’t see any vignetting in the corners or edges of the screen and solid colors looked the same across it.
Motion looks smooth without being unnatural when watching sports for the most part, though in things like slow motion replays things can come across a bit choppier.
I mentioned the color coverage earlier in terms of benchmarks, but during use, it is somewhat noticeable that the colors are good, but not great. They seem reasonably accurate, but they don’t pop off the screen like they would on the Hisense U7, for instance. Then again, the Hisense doesn’t have the impressive black tones of the Roku Pro Series OLED TV.
I go back and forth on the Roku Pro Series OLED TV’s audio. It’s clearly good enough to skip the soundbar for just standard TV viewing. But it doesn’t sound as good as the thicker Roku Pro Series TVs that preceded it. The OLED version, because it no longer has the thick shadowbox design of its predecessors, has less space for speakers or ports to help with audio.
If you want to hear rumble when Batman runs the Penguin off the road in The Batman, for instance, or really feel the impact of an offensive and defensive line battling it out at the one yard line, then you'll need something with bigger drivers and a subwoofer. This TV just doesn’t have the necessary bass to really offer that level of immersion. I think because of the lack of bass, there’s also a bit of boxiness in the sound quality as well.
However, the mid-range is balanced and rich sounding, while the high-end has a good amount of clarity without sounding harsh that audio still sounds good. The score on a soundtrack-heavy movie will sound full. Similarly, I had no trouble distinguishing dialog or voices in whatever media I’m watching.
As far as menu diving goes, the Roku Pro Series OLED TV offers six different sound modes including an Auto and Night Mode, both of which work as intended. There are also settings for enabling virtual surround sound, dialog enhancer, volume leveling, and adjustments for the bass and treble.
The most notable change over previous Roku Pro Series TVs on the OLED is the fact that it no longer sports the shadowbox design. Frankly, I miss it. The shadowbox design did make those previous versions thicker, but they were uniform from end to end with recessed cable management so they could be mounted on the wall and be completely flush. Well, that’s gone.
Instead, to show off how thin the OLED panel is, only the bottom two thirds of the TV is thicker than the panel. At its thickest, it’s only 1.6 inches, so it does cut a somewhat svelte figure (for a TV). And while I do appreciate the fact that Roku isn’t resting on its laurels, this fundamental change in design means that there are some compromises.
I’ve mentioned the sound quality above, and I do think the change in this design affects it. There’s also much more limited cable management — basically there’s a clip on each foot to route cables through.
I do appreciate that the feet can be installed without any tools. Instead of needing a screwdriver, each screw has a large plastic head that can be tightened by hand. I also like the fact that the feet can be installed at two different heights.
The Roku Pro Series OLED doesn't need a screwdriver to install the feet. Notice the large dials attached to the screws (Image credit: Future / James Holland)There are a few clues in some other areas that highlight the fact that the Roku Pro Series OLED is, essentially, an entry-level OLED TV. The fact that it comes with Wi-Fi 5 in an age where most cutting edge and more premium products come with Wi-Fi 6 at least, and it comes with Bluetooth 5.2 despite the existence of Bluetooth 6. These are not significant limitations, but they’re certainly shortcuts.
On the bright side, there is a 'remote locator' button on the side of the TV, which is nice for the more absent-minded among us. And it makes a fairly pleasant pinging sound. You won’t be tearing your couch apart trying to find the remote just to turn off the sound.
Lastly, despite having four HDMI 2.1 (one eARC enabled), only two have markings next to them for gaming. Maybe this is just a suggestion, but typically that means that the other two HDMI ports don’t support 4K at the 120Hz refresh rate. Confusing, but sadly the HDMI rules do allow this. At least, there’s a USB 2.0 and USB-C 3.0 port along with optical, ethernet, and coaxial.
If you haven’t used a Roku device in awhile, the state of the Roku interface at the time of this review is a little different than the OS of yore. It still takes inspiration from the more bubbly aspects of, say, an iPhone’s operating system with a changeable cartoony background (and screensaver) and an interactive list of tiles.
The tiles, however, are organized by categories. When first turning the TV on, I’m greeted with a selection of what Roku calls 'Top Picks For You', showing specific content based on previous behavior. Following that is a collection of the apps that I use most under 'Quick Access'. Then there are suggestions for what to watch next and a few other bundles of tiles before getting to the more traditional Roku experience where I can browse all the installed app tiles.
Free content is mostly accessible through the Roku app, though you’ll come across plenty if you browse the other sections such as the Live Action TV app and in the sports section.
The settings are baked into the operating system with plenty of accessibility options and a guest mode available. However, the deeper dives into picture and sound quality require you to have content open at the time. This is somewhat common now and it makes sense with TVs like this that have things like Dolby Vision where the screen adjusts settings behind the scenes based on what content is pulled up. Still, it’s a bit annoying.
At least, there are all the picture modes and plenty of fine-tuning available through the menu once something’s up on the screen. Adjustments like Micro and Dynamic Contrast are on hand as well as Action Smoothing and Clarity, not to mention the fact that you can adjust the Gamma Correction as well as color temperature and space.
When it comes to what makes a TV a good gaming TV, there are two things to consider. The first is the TV’s performance that similarly affects all the other content, such as color coverage, HDR support, sound quality, and so forth. And in that regard, the Roku Pro Series OLED makes for a good gaming TV.
The sound is not perfect (more bass would make a big difference) but is good enough. And as far as picture quality goes, you get to play your games through an OLED panel and experience the contrast it has to offer, not to mention the HDR support it comes with.
Of course, this TV also supports 120Hz refresh rate, which helps give a smoother gaming experience, especially with a next-gen console or PC. There are TVs with higher refresh rates, but a PlayStation 5 maxes out at 120Hz anyway (and the difference between 120Hz and 144Hz/165Hz is not all that noticeable).
The second thing to factor in a gaming TV are the gaming-specific extras that come along with said TV. In that regard, the Roku Pro Series OLED is somewhat lacking. There’s no game bar or game-specific menu, so don’t expect to pull up a crosshair or fps counter. Not to mention, there's not much game-specific picture fine-tuning either.
There is, at least, a picture mode for gaming that also allows one to choose between different sub-modes. Basically, you get the choice between an HDR Dark, HDR Standard, and HDR Bright version of that picture mode.
Underneath the OLED panel, the Roku Pro Series OLED TV is a competent mid-range TV that unfortunately trades some overall performance for OLED's rich contrast. You get those deeper blacks, but it doesn’t sound as good and isn't as bright as the Roku Pro Series (2025) that it replaces.
At the time of reviews, the Roku Pro Series OLED had fallen to $999 at 65 inches — and then got a sale discount bringing it to just $799. Let’s take the LG B6 for comparison’s sake, LG’s 2026 budget OLED. A 65-inch model will set you back $1,299.99 as I write this, $500 higher than that of the Roku Pro OLED. However, there’s also the LG B6E cheaper version (which has very few differences from the B6, mainly some unimportant AI modes) for $999, so that’s only a $200 difference.
The B6 and B6E are of course available at wider size ranges (48 to 83-inches), but these models are about as budget as OLED TVs go, so the Roku Pro Series OLED is effectively as cheap as you can get an OLED without going for an older model.
Compared to the B6E, you're losing two ports capable of 4K 120Hz, some gaming modes, and getting lower brightness. Is that a fair trade off? If you're not bothered about gaming, saving the cash and putting it towards a soundbar with sub could be just want you want.

Should I buy the Roku Pro Series OLED TV?Buy it if...You want an affordable way into OLED
OLED TVs are not cheap. The Roku Pro Series OLED TV is probably one of the most affordable ways to get the benefits of an OLED panel.View Deal
You want a good mid-range TV
This TV might be Roku’s flagship, but it is a mid-range TV through and through, meaning that, on the whole, it’s competent if not quite as impressive as the top TVs out there.
You care to be in the Roku ecosystem
This is, outside of maybe its predecessor, the best Roku TV out there. If you want a TV with Roku built in, this is the way to go.
Don't buy it if…You have a bright room
With low brightness and a glossy screen, this TV's images can be overtaken by reflections fairly easily in a brighter room.
You want big build-in sound
It sounds decent out of the box, but there's a limit to its scale and depth — if you're thinking about it being part of an impressive movie-viewing experience, you'll need to add some extra sound.

How I tested the Roku Pro Series OLED TVI used the Roku Pro Series OLED TV regularly for a couple weeks. I tested it using streaming shows, movies, music, and games (via PS5). I went through the various features to see if it work as advertised. I also spent time listening to the audio as well as paying attention to the picture quality.
After spending some time with this TV, it’s my humble opinion that this TV is ideal for those who want an OLED TV at mid-range prices and are okay with the trade-off required.
I’ve tested a lot of tech gear over the years from laptops to keyboards and speakers, and so have been able to use my expertise towards giving an honest and fair opinion, not to mention a critical eye, to any product I test.
A source at one of the big Chinese memory chip makers has warned that the firm anticipates the RAM shortage will last through until the end of the decade — and we've heard some gloomy nearer-term news from TrendForce, too.
TweakTown highlighted a post from Jukan on X (who works at analyst firm Citrini Research), which in turn pointed to a report from The Wire China.
This cites an employee at YMTC in China who said that the company "expects the global memory shortage will last for at least another three years". YMTC has just pushed up pricing for its chips, the source says — to no one's surprise — and is shifting its production towards chips with a higher profit margin.
Jukan ties this specifically to NAND production — for SSDs — but the quoted comment refers more broadly to the memory crisis (meaning RAM sticks as well). As TweakTown points out, though, the purported impact on SSDs is particularly relevant seeing as YMTC is now the third biggest global NAND chip supplier behind only Samsung and SK Hynix.
Other predictions, such as from analyst firm TrendForce, forecast NAND supply coming back into balance later in 2027, but that notion is very much being questioned here.
Speaking of TrendForce, Jukan also flagged a new report from the company that labels DRAM supply as 'very tight', noting that: "Suppliers' early-stage discussions on 4Q26 contract pricing point to meaningful price increases, suggesting strengthening demand momentum, particularly from US CSPs."
In other words, the big cloud service providers (CSPs) are the main force behind the increased demand that's pushing fourth-quarter RAM pricing to meaningful price hikes.
Analysis: negative chatter continues to align(Image credit: Shutterstock)'Meaningful' price rises for RAM sounds ominous, mainly because memory pricing has already risen painfully over the last few months. If you recall, going by the German market, DDR5 memory is a ridiculous 544% up on the price it was before the RAM crisis began — so the thought of further increases feels, well, even more ludicrous. But here we are.
We can seemingly expect SSDs to get more costly as well, going by the leak from YMTC, although it's worth noting that it's in the company's interest to talk up its future prospects and profits (as it heads into an IPO). That said, this isn't an official statement, but a leak (though it could have been intentionally leaked, cynics would doubtless argue).
The fact of the matter is that more memory-related misery is believable enough these days, as all predictions are very much slanted towards more price hikes for the remainder of 2026 and into 2027. The view that we have at least another three years of this crisis to weather — taking us all the way to 2030 — is one also shared by other analysts and industry figures, including Nvidia's CEO (and those in the world of SSDs).
The first generation of enterprise AI projects taught businesses how to retrieve information. A user asks a question, the system finds relevant context, and a model turns it into an answer.
AI agents change that equation because they retrieve information dynamically and adjust their own state in the process. As tasks evolve they juggle everything from plan development, and outbound tool calls, to updating records, and recording results.
Multiply that activity across hundreds or thousands of agents and the data layer starts behaving very differently - with significant implications for both cost and accuracy. These implications are becoming major considerations when moving agentic AI projects from pilot to production.
Why pilots can hide the real costMemory becomes an operational systemEarly pilots tend to be narrow by design. Typically, there’s one team working with a limited dataset and relatively simple, short-lived interactions. Take as an example requesting a summary of a document. The model completes a request and that task is done. Here, model access, tokens, and context retrieval appear to account for most of the bill.
When shifting from passive chatbots to multi-agent systems, however, the economics flip. Traditional generative AI costs scale linearly with users, whilst the cost of running multi-agent deployments tends to escalate with task complexity. Proof-of-concept expenditure typically multiplies as tasks become more complex.
For example, AWS puts a text-based proof of concept handling about 100 interactions a day at around $40 a month. Its estimate for an agent-based proof of concept using a knowledge base and guardrails at roughly the same volume is around $840 a month. Anthropic's write-up on its multi-agent research supports this finding.
The data shows multi-agent systems use 15x more tokens than chat interactions and that economic viability requires the value of the task to be high enough to justify the expense.
In multi-agent systems, therefore, it’s easy to see why costs accrue. Agents use dynamic loops, tool calls, retries, and context transfers to complete a task. But there’s another important dimension - agents need to remember and reason across increasing volumes of data.
Agents have longer operational lives than a typical chatbot session. They have to remember yesterday's actions, preserve the evidence behind a decision, and make that information available to other agents in the fleet. Every completed task becomes a new state.
As the agent fleet grows, the business is paying not only for the next answer but also for the expanding operational provenance required to operate efficiently, and safely.
Early generative AI systems often treated memory as context - retrieved when required. Persistent agents create a different requirement. Memory becomes a live operational system that is constantly updated.
That matters for both performance and cost. A narrow write path can create contention as more agents update records. Separate copies of the same context increase storage and synchronization work, and keeping every historical record on the fastest storage tier makes rarely used information unnecessarily expensive.
When designing the data layer to support agentic fleets, the service level dictates how memory is accessed and managed. Leaders should establish how quickly each kind of memory must be available, who can update it, which agents should share it, and how long must it remain immediately accessible.
Designing memory for a fleet of agentsThree main principles will become increasingly important as the variety and complexity of agent deployments grows.
The first is concurrency. Leaders should ask whether write capacity can grow as the number of agents grows. Infrastructure designed mainly for read-heavy applications may behave very differently once large numbers of autonomous processes start updating state at the same time.
The second is shared memory. If several agents are working on the same customer, asset, or process, creating separate copies of the same context can introduce cost and inconsistency. A common source of state can make collaboration easier, provided access controls and provenance remain clear.
The third is separating active memory from historical memory. An agent may need the last few minutes of a workflow immediately, while records from six months ago might only be required for an audit or an unusual query. Treating those two categories identically is an expensive default.
Frequently accessed state can remain close to the compute layer, while older information moves to lower-cost durable storage. Compute can then scale according to current activity rather than the total memory accumulated since the system was launched.
How historical changes are stored poses a similar question. Saving every full version of a record makes retrieval straightforward but consumes more capacity. Saving only incremental changes uses less space, but reconstructing an old state can take longer. Periodic snapshots combined with smaller changes between them can offer a useful middle ground.
What to establish before scalingThese read like technical considerations, but they set the economic model for the deployment, and they are cheaper to resolve before an agent fleet expands than after.
Once it is accepted that agents create information as well as consume it, earlier design choices become measurable rather than abstract. For example, how much state each agent writes and how often; how many agents may update the same customer, asset, or workflow at once; how much memory needs immediate access versus cheaper durable storage after a day, a week, or a month; and whether context can be shared safely rather than copied per agent.
Each of these steps carries a cost, and together they determine the figure that decides viability at scale - the cost per task is both the number of agents and the volume of retained memory.
Resolving these considerations before expansion changes the design of the pilot. A team can test the write load, retention rules, and the expected sharing model in production while the system is still small, which is the point at which hidden costs are both visible and cheap to fix.
AI economics start below the modelEven if model prices continue to fall and inference becomes more efficient, large-scale agent deployments will still create a growing stream of operational data that has to be written, shared, protected, retrieved, and retained.
The cost of that activity will depend heavily on the architecture underneath the model, but companies planning the next stage of AI adoption should measure the whole lifecycle of an agent task, including the memory it leaves behind. Doing that before a pilot becomes a fleet gives technology leaders a much clearer view of whether an AI system will remain economical when it reaches production scale.

Usually, software bugs are fixed quite quickly, but for weeks now, some Android Auto users have been experiencing a frustrating glitch that causes their phone’s cellular signal icon to disappear from the Android Auto display.
This hasn’t happened to every Android Auto user, and for some users, it’s been an intermittent bug, with the icon sometimes present and sometimes disappearing. But it’s annoying enough and widespread enough that Google has officially commented on it.
As spotted by 9to5Google, a representative for the company posted on Reddit that: “We’re aware of reports about the missing cellular signal, and we’re actually currently rolling out a fix that should hopefully address this issue! The fix isn’t widely available yet, though, so it may take some time to reach your device – if you want to receive it sooner, though, you can enroll in the Android Auto beta.”
Thankfully, it seems you no longer need to enroll in the beta to get the issue fixed, as many users report that Android Auto 17.8 addresses the problem, and the stable version of this OS package is now rolling out.
(Image credit: Future)How to fix this Android Auto bugSo, if you’re experiencing this bug, you should definitely download the latest version of Android Auto. To do so, just head to the Google Play Store on your phone, type ‘Android Auto’ into the search bar, and hit the update button on it if one is present.
If there’s no update available, your phone may have already automatically downloaded version 17.8, but to check which version you’re running, head to Settings > Apps (or Apps & notifications). Then, just scroll down to Android Auto, tap on it, and the version number should be at the bottom of this screen. Alternatively, you should be able to see the version at the bottom of the settings screen inside the Android Auto app.
If you’re running version 17.8, then this should fix the issue, but if you’re still experiencing the bug, it’s worth clearing Android Auto’s cache. To do this, head to Settings > Apps > Android Auto again, and this time tap ‘Storage,’ followed by ‘Clear cache.’
And if your phone isn’t running Android Auto 17.8 and there aren’t any updates available, your best option is probably just to wait and check again over the next few days. However, if you can’t wait, there’s always the option of sideloading it from a legitimate site like APKMirror.
To do this, just download the relevant file to your phone, then find it in your phone’s file manager app, and tap on it to begin the installation process. However, while this should generally be safe, we’d still, in most cases, recommend waiting for the update to be rolled out to you through official channels.
For over a decade, enterprise cybersecurity was built on a straightforward setup: a human user sits behind a screen, authenticates and carries out tasks within a session.
Traditional identity and access management (IAM) frameworks were designed around this single assumption. They validated credentials at login, established a trusted perimeter for the duration of the session, and monitored subsequent activity.
But the emergence of the agentic enterprise is challenging that assumption.
The issue facing modern internet security operations is no longer just whether an identity was verified during initial access. As autonomous software agents, coding assistants, and automated workflows are beginning to operate across cloud environments, code repositories, APIs and internal systems are dealing with a level of speed and autonomy that traditional controls were not designed to manage.
The issue now is whether organizations can see, govern and control what happens after access is granted, especially when the actor is software making decisions in real time.
Attackers increasingly exploit systems through the path of least resistance, rather than searching for complex technical vulnerabilities. This makes stolen or compromised login credentials a prime target, allowing attackers to look legitimate when gaining access without needing sophisticated attack methods.
At the same time, shadow AI, short-lived credentials and machine-driven actions are expanding the attack surface. As enterprises continue to deploy AI tools faster than many security teams can secure them, visibility gaps and governance blind spots will persist.
Where traditional IAM failsOne of the biggest challenges to securing the agentic enterprise is that traditional identity controls are too static for machines which operate continuously. Legacy IAM and privileged access tools are effective at validating access at a point in time. But AI systems do not authenticate and stop. They make choices, invoke tools and change systems after the initial login has been triggered. This creates a need for identity controls which evaluate behavior in context as actions occur, not just at login.
Poor visibility across agentic systems is another barrier. Many organizations still lack a clear inventory of which AI agents exist, what data they can access, who approved them and what actions they are taking on whose behalf. When agents are distributed across fragmented cloud and SaaS environments, those questions become harder to answer and security blind spots grow quickly.
Finally, credential exposure presents a significant risk. In human-led systems, long-lived secrets, shared credentials and broad delegated access are already problematic. They become even riskier when handed to autonomous or semi-autonomous tools operating at machine speed. Security leaders need a model that reduces that exposure, improves attribution and preserves a clear chain of accountability back to a human owner or policy decision.
Securing the human-AI workforceNavigating this new threat landscape means evolving enterprise security from a system designed primarily for human administrators into infrastructure that can support humans and artificial identities together. This is the broader shift behind IAM infrastructure for the agentic enterprise: making identity easier to operate programmatically, governing AI agents across their lifecycle and evaluating trust continuously as actions occur.
One part of that shift is governance. Organizations need to identify AI agents, assign ownership, define boundaries and understand what those agents are allowed to do. Another necessary shift is runtime trust: ensuring access is evaluated in context and that risky behavior can be contained quickly without relying on static credentials or blind trust. The final part of this change is operability. As more work moves into APIs, terminals, orchestration layers and AI-assisted workflows, identity management systems need to be easier to use beyond the admin console.
Organizations need to treat this as a key operational design matter, moving beyond asking only who logged in and start asking what is acting in the environment, what it is authorized to do and whether teams can intervene when risk changes.
Securing identities at machine speedThe agentic enterprise is no longer theoretical. AI systems are already influencing operations and decision-making across the business.
The challenge for cybersecurity leaders is not to restrict what these systems can do outright. It is to ensure they operate safely, accountably and within clear enterprise guardrails. As unglamorous as it may be, governance is going to be one of the most important factors in determining if a company succeeds or fails in the long run with its AI programmes.
Organisations which can effectively operate and secure AI will be the ones that build identity, accountability and runtime control into the operating fabric of the enterprise from the start. Innovation must be made governable, without being stifled and the organizations that get this right will be better positioned to use AI with confidence.

I've spent the last ten years covering Prime Day sales, which may be an unnecessarily long amount of time, but it also means I've learnt how to make the most of each one. This Prime Big Deal Days sale is effectively the same thing in all but name, with another 48 hours of offers that are exclusive to Amazon Prime members across tech and toys to fashion and essentials.
I've found it's always one of the better times of the year to pick up Amazon devices, and that's no clearer with some of the price cuts to Kindles, Ring doorbells, Blink cameras, Fire TVs, and so on. One of the highlights I've spotted already is the Amazon Kindle for £84.99 (was £134.99) — that's the lowest price this year.
I've also found dozens of excellent offers in many other categories. I've summarised the highlights below, but some I want to shout out in particular are the Nintendo Switch 2 for a record-low price, this five-star Ninja Foodi Dual Zone Air Fryer for £129.99 (was £199.99), and the fantastic Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 Headphones for £134 (was £169).
Expect many more live updates from me and the rest of the expert TechRadar team throughout the day as we guide you through the sale and hand-pick our favourite offers. Even amidst price hikes and stock issues in some categories, the sale looks like a solid preview of what we might see in this year's upcoming Black Friday deals in November.
Just remember, you need an Amazon Prime membership to access most of these offers, but new and returning subscribers can get a 30-day Amazon Prime free trial to cover you for the sale.
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days — quick linksBattery Video Doorbell + Ring Indoor Camera: was £119.98 now £39.99
This excellent value bundle includes the latest version of the Ring Video Doorbell and a Ring Indoor Camera for a cheap and easy way to get started with home security. We've tested these and have been impressed with the video quality, high zoom, and night vision colour, but it's a shame that some of this device's value is only usable with a Ring Protect subscription. However, if you're fine with paying for a subscription or already using a Ring-based home security system, it's worth the cost.View Deal
Amazon has the Nintendo Switch 2 at its lowest price ever for Prime Big Deal Days. Given that the console was only recently hit with a price hike, I'm surprised that you can score such a big price cut on it right now, so definitely take advantage while you can if you've been thinking of picking it up, as this price almost certainly won't be beaten all year.View Deal
The latest version of the standard Kindle is on sale as part of the Prime Big Deal Days sale. It's a basic ereader, but it still boasts a four-week battery life and space for thousands of books. Given it's significantly cheaper than the Paperwhite, this is clearly a better pick for the infrequent reader who's after a more budget-friendly option. At £85, though, this deal is a little underwhelming, given it's been as low as £69.99 before.View Deal
OpenRun Pro 2: was £169 now £134

The Suri Pro Sonic Electric Toothbrush is 20% off at Amazon for Prime Big Deal Days. This is a strong offer for the fantastic, eco-friendly alternative to other electric toothbrushes. In fact, we scored it four-and-a-half out of five in our Suri 2.0 Sonic Toothbrush review. As I've found with the original 1.0 version, it performs and cleans well, offers an impressive 40-day battery life, fast wireless charging over USB-C, a useful pressure sensor, and comes with handy extras like a magnetic wall mount and UV cleaning travel case.View Deal
RAM and graphics card prices have been dreadful lately, but at least the same issues haven't impacted CPUs just yet. As an example, this AMD Ryzen 5 9600X is down to its lowest price in months for Prime Big Deal Days. It's a solid mid-range CPU for general use and gaming — and it's even the one I'm using right now in my PC. I've been very impressed with it, and at this price, it's hard to beat for value for money.View Deal
I'm not sure how I feel about smart rings, but our fitness editor, Matt Evans, is a big fan of the Oura Ring 4.

This fascinating bit of tech is now down to its lowest-ever price on Amazon — although be warned that some sizes and colours are selling out.View Deal

iO Series 2: was £100 now £37.99
The iO range is usually a more expensive option in Oral-B's range of electric toothbrushes, but this is an excellent deal on an entry-level option that's also bundled with a few handy extras. It doesn't boast many high-end features, but it has the basic ones you really need to brush your teeth effectively and efficiently, including a two-minute timer and a visible pressure sensor. Plus, you get a refill holder and a travel case included for free.View Deal

If you picked up those USB cables for cheap, you might also want a charger plug to use with them. There are several on sale right now at Amazon, but I like this Ugreen option the best. It's a 100W fast charger with three USB-C ports and one USB-A port, offering support for multiple phones, laptops, tablets, earbuds, and more, with the option to charge more than one at a single time with the correct arrangement. The small and compact design, is the ideal finishing touch.View Deal

Core Mini Air Purifier: was £49.99 now £39.99
I actually bought a Levoit Core Mini for myself when moving into a new house that hadn't been lived in for a while to get rid of the dust and debris, and I also think it works as a great option for any allergy problems.

As someone who grew up playing one of these on family holidays, I can't help but be incredibly tempted to pick up the super-cool Lego Game Boy as a display piece while it's over £10 off at Amazon. And I'm sure many other retro gamers out there would love it as a gift this Christmas.View Deal
Blender 600 Series: was £69.99 now £46.99
I'm a little tempted by the £20 price reduction on this well-scoring blender. While it can't chop ice, it creates velvety smoothies out of fresh and frozen fruits hassle-free. On top of this, the build quality and performance impressed us, and the fact that it's only a few quid more than it was on Black Friday makes this an even sweeter deal.View Deal

Battery life is an impressive 60 minutes.View Deal
The Dyson V8 is now older, but it remains one of the top affordable vacuums and also one of the best Dyson vacuums – period. This still more-than-capable vacuum comes with a couple of essential attachments for cleaning around the home. Given its age and basic features, it's a struggle to recommend it at its full price, but now that it's discounted so heavily at Currys, it's an easy recommendation.View Deal

AF300UK Air Fryer: was £199.99 now £123.49
The Ninja AF300UK 7.6L model is down to its lowest price all year at Amazon right now. It's definitely worth it at this price, given we awarded it the full five stars in our Ninja AF300UK review.

We particularly praised the multiple settings, the ability to sync cooking times and the quality of the food it made.View Deal

We liked it enough in our De'Longhi Magnifica Evo Next review, in which we awarded it four stars out of five.View Deal
Sage makes some of the best coffee machines we've ever tested here at TechRadar, so I definitely want to shout out this offer on its excellent The Barista Express. We awarded it 4.5 stars in our review for its ease of use, bevvy of customisable settings and tasty results. While it's still a pricey machine, it's worth the investment if you really want to get into your coffee-making at home.View Deal
We may be about to hit the colder months, but the Ninja Creami ice cream maker is still a quick and convenient way to make all of your favourite frozen treats, milkshakes and sorbets at the touch of a button. While it was a little cheaper than this last Black Friday, today's offer is the best I've seen all year for the popular appliance.View Deal
Artisan Stand Mixer: was £549 now £319.99
KitchenAid is a mainstay in the Bake Off tent and still the leader when it comes to high-quality stand mixers – but they do come with a hefty upfront cost.

It comes with a stainless steel bowl and three attachments for mixing, kneading and beating – everything the amateur or intermediate baker needs for the kitchen.View Deal
Aquatak 120: was £109.99 now £82.99

You also get a good selection of attachments in this bundle, including a patio cleaner, wash brush and detergent nozzle.View Deal

This excellent value bundle includes the latest version of the Ring Video Doorbell and a Ring Indoor Camera for a cheap and easy way to get started with home security. We've tested these and have been impressed with the video quality, high zoom, and night vision colour, but it's a shame that some of this device's value is only usable with a Ring Protect subscription. However, if you're fine with paying for a subscription or already using a Ring-based home security system, it's worth the cost.View Deal
The new Blink Mini 2K+ has a couple of nice upgrades compared to the previous model, including a built-in spotlight, night view in colour support and the option to use it outdoors with the weather-resistant adaptor.

This latest model comes with a head-to-toe HD view, infrared night vision, and two-way audio – all you'd want in a basic video doorbell. You can watch packages get delivered and answer the door in real time from the Blink app, but you can't save footage without a Blink Subscription or a Sync Module (which is included here).

Echo Dot (5th Gen): was £54.99 now £29.99
Amazon's best-selling Echo Dot is down to under £30 for Prime Big Deal Days. This is an OK offer, but far from the previous record-low of £22.99. Nevertheless, the Echo Dot offers an improved audio experience, plus a new temperature sensor and all the handy features from Alexa, like playing music, answering questions, and checking the weather completely hands-free. As far as a cheap and cheerful smart speaker goes, it's one of the better options out there.View Deal

Fire TV Stick 4K Select: was £64.99 now £21.99
Amazon's newest 4K streaming stick is down to within £2 of its lowest-ever price for Prime Big Deal Days. Considering it's only a few quid more than the cheaper HD version, you might as well pay for the upgrade and get access to higher resolution streaming — as long as you have a 4K TV. It lacks a few premium features found in the more expensive Plus and Max models, such as improved Wi-Fi and Dolby Atmos, but this is more than enough to cover general everyday use.View Deal
Amazon's new Fire TV Stick 4K Plus streams shows and movies to your TV in ultra-high-definition 4K resolution. This updated version now supports Dolby Vision for improved colours, Wi-Fi 6 for better connectivity, and includes 2GB of RAM for faster performance. This offer isn't particularly great, given it was £10 cheaper during the last Prime Day, but it's still good value for an all-around streaming device.View Deal
This is £9 more than the record-low price for Amazon's premium streaming device. The Fire TV Stick 4K Max streams the same content at the same quality as the standard 4K version, but the extra power inside delivers faster app navigation. Plus, it uses Wi-Fi 6E technology to deliver a more stable, consistent streaming experience.View Deal
The latest version of the standard Kindle is on sale as part of the Prime Big Deal Days sale. It's a basic ereader, but it still boasts a four-week battery life and space for thousands of books. Given it's significantly cheaper than the Paperwhite, this is clearly a better pick for the infrequent reader who's after a more budget-friendly option. At £85, though, this deal is a little underwhelming, given it's been as low as £69.99 before.View Deal
The Kindle Colorsoft just fell to its lowest-ever price as part of this year's Prime Big Deal Days sale. As Amazon's first colored Kindle, it's a must-have if you love reading travel guides, graphic novels, and other genres with a lot of images and photographs — or just want to view your entire ebook library in its full colour glory. The ereader is also USB-C and wireless charging compatible, lasts up to eight weeks on a full battery, and has enough storage for thousands of books.View Deal
This is the new lowest-ever price for the newest version of the Kindle Scribe with 64GB of storage. This ereader combines some of the best features of the Kindle Paperwhite, such as the glare-free and auto-adjusting display, along with the option to take notes, comment on documents, and doodle using the included stylus pen. We were a little disappointed by the original Kindle Scribe because of some missing features, but after some updates and upgrades to this new model, we were happy to award it an impressive 4.5 stars, as it offers good value for such a multi-functional device.View Deal
Amazon's best-selling Echo Show 5 is down to £54.99 for Prime Big Deal Days — its lowest price in almost two years.

The C6 delivers on almost every front, and stands out as a brilliant value option in an expensive market. The 55-inch model has dropped to £1,399 at Amazon, and while not a record-low, it's a great price for this TV. View Deal
Ember TV 32-inch 2-Series HD TV: was £249.99 now £129.99
Amazon's Prime Day sale includes this 32-inch TV on sale for a record-low price of £129.99. While the Amazon 2-Series TV is just a basic HD display, you get smart capabilities with the Fire TV experience and Amazon Alexa on board for hands-free control at a bargain price.

Ember TV 55-inch Omni Mini-LED TV: was £849.99 now £599.99
Amazon has taken the biggest step up in terms of quality with its latest Omni Mini-LED Series Fire TVs. That's clear in the price, which puts these very close to top-end OLED displays from the likes of Sony, Samsung and LG. However, you still get a lot for your money with this Amazon option, including a large 55-inch Mini-LED panel that boasts fantastic contrast, colors and image sharpness, a 144Hz game mode for a fast and responsive experience on consoles, and smart features.View Deal

Beam (Gen 2) Soundbar: was £449 now £338
This second-generation Sonos Beam soundbar is an older model, but this considerable discount drops it to around the same price we last saw on Black Friday. Even with its age, it's still a great offer for a compact and stylish soundbar that also drops the subwoofer for another space-saving measure. It offers easy integration with the wider Sonos ecosystem if you want a larger home theatre system, and Dolby Atmos support provides a more immersive experience when watching movies. We also found it's great at playing music in our Sonos Beam (Gen 2) review, so it's a good choice if you need an all-in-one soundbar for multiple uses.View Deal

It's an older machine, but there's no denying it's a solid entry-level choice for the price, including an AMD Ryzen 7 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD for storage. It's a great buy if you want a powerful and capable laptop with decent battery life for everyday use, work, or school.View Deal
Aspire 14: was £574.53 now £484
Display: 14 inches OLED
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 512GB
If display quality is just as important to you as power, then strongly consider this Acer Aspire deal at Amazon. It comes with a large and high-end OLED screen that offers a clear and sharp image, whether you're working on documents or streaming your favourite TV shows. Specs are impressive elsewhere, too, including an AMD Ryzen 5 CPU, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD for storage that ensure excellent overall performance, great multitasking capabilities and speedy load times.View Deal
Display - 13 inches
Processor - Snapdragon X Plus
RAM - 16GB
Storage - 512GB
The latest Microsoft Surface Laptop is one of our favourite Windows devices and received a glowing five-stars in our Microsoft Surface Laptop review, so I'm obviously going to call out this solid saving at Amazon. This particular specification includes a powerful Snapdragon X Plus processor, a healthy 16GB of RAM and a reasonable 512GB SSD. That storage feels a little light for the price, but the levels of performance and battery life from the CPU are top-tier to go alongside the swish-looking display and keyboard.View Deal
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days — HeadphonesOpenRun Pro 2: was £169 now £134
Treat yourself to one of the best pairs of bone conduction headphones at their lowest-ever price — one that we last saw during Black Friday. Not only do they deliver outstanding sound, but they're also incredibly comfortable. They're highly recommended by our Fitness & Wearables Editor, Matt Evans, and are now more affordable, making them a great buy for runners and gym goers.View Deal
These top-tier headphones were £20 cheaper a little earlier this year, but it's still a strong saving on the excellent WH-1000XM6. These headphones offer beautifully balanced audio output, top-tier touch controls, ergonomic comfort, and noise-crushing active noise cancellation. They're fantastic all-rounders, as our Sony WH-1000XM6 review digs into.View Deal
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days — SmartwatchesHere's a small discount on the Apple Watch SE 3. Apple's cheaper smartwatch is currently our pick for the best Apple Watch to buy if you're on a budget, as it delivers a full health and fitness tracking experience, all the convenient on-wrist features you need, and that familiar Apple style, but at a fraction of the price.View Deal
Watch Series 11: was £319 now £259
The latest Apple Watch 11 is £60 off in the latest Amazon Prime Day sale, though I did see it for as low as £219 just a couple of weeks ago. Still, this is the thinnest Apple Watch yet, with a wraparound LTP3 OLED display, it's a great-looking watch with Apple Intelligence-powered smarts and a boosted battery compared to previous devices, clocking in at 24 hours of average use.View Deal
The Fitbit Charge 6 is one of the simplest fitness trackers around, but it works very well, and is now got a decent price cut for Prime Big Deal Days. It has a small screen that shows the time, how many steps you’ve taken, and your current heart rate as well. It’s subtle, so it fits on your wrist well – whether you’re at work or working out. Extensive battery life of up to seven days means minimal hassle, too.View Deal
Galaxy Fit 3: was £41.94 now £31
At almost £30, now is a great time to buy Samsung's budget fitness tracker. As well as all the basic fitness, health and sleep tracking features, the Galaxy Fit3 is an excellent extension to your smartphone that lets you check your messages, control your music and navigate easily with simple gestures. Everything centres around the impressive 1.6-inch AMOLED display, and battery life is also not a problem, with 13 days on a single charge.View Deal
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 has been superseded by a brand-new model, so Amazon is shifting all of its remaining stock for a low price. We were incredibly impressed with the smartwatch in our review, as it felt like a big step forward for the wearable. There's the stylish design, as well as advanced health and fitness tracking features, and a smart running coach. This offer will disappear in a flash with such limited stock, so I'd grab it while you can if you want one of the best smartwatch deals we'll see all year and you're happy with slightly older tech.View Deal
We're now up to the GT 7, but this is a super-low price for a well-featured smartwatch. It might be a little behind some of its competitors when it comes to this style of watch, but at this price, there are many reasons to consider buying one if you want a stylish and capable fitness tracker that we scored an impressive 4.5 stars in our Huawei Watch GT 5 review.View Deal
I'm not sure how I feel about smart rings, but our fitness editor, Matt Evans, is a big fan of the Oura Ring 4. He said it was "nearly the perfect fitness tracker" in our review, praising the design, ease-of-use, long-lasting battery and detailed health information it offers. This fascinating bit of tech is now down to its lowest-ever price on Amazon — although be warned that some sizes and colours are selling out.View Deal
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days — Health & BeautyThe Suri Pro Sonic Electric Toothbrush is 20% off at Amazon for Prime Big Deal Days. This is a strong offer for the fantastic, eco-friendly alternative to other electric toothbrushes. In fact, we scored it four-and-a-half out of five in our Suri 2.0 Sonic Toothbrush review. As I've found with the original 1.0 version, it performs and cleans well, offers an impressive 40-day battery life, fast wireless charging over USB-C, a useful pressure sensor, and comes with handy extras like a magnetic wall mount and UV cleaning travel case.View Deal
iO Series 3: was £175 now £59.99
The iO range is usually a more expensive option in Oral-B's range of electric toothbrushes, but this is a decent deal on the entry-level option that's also bundled with a few handy extras. It doesn't boast many high-end features but it has the basic ones you really need to brush your teeth effectively and efficiently, including a two-minute timer and a visible pressure sensor. Plus, you get spare brush head and a carry case included for free.View Deal
Sonicare DiamondClean 9000: was £319.99 now £129.99
This deal drops the advanced and top-rated Philips Sonicare electric toothbrush to a little over £130 – a great low price that's only been beaten during Black Friday. The Philips Sonicare DiamondClean features four different brushing modes and the pressure sensor will notify you when you're brushing too hard.View Deal
The Philips OneBlade 360 is a quick, simple and affordable electric razor that's suitable for a wide variety of face and body grooming needs. This jam-packed bundle was a little cheaper over Prime Day, but today's offer is still a solid one. This bundle includes the handle, as well as a spare blade, a 5-in-1 comb, a body kit, and a USB-A charging cable.View Deal
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days — GamingAmazon has the Nintendo Switch 2 at its lowest price ever for Prime Big Deal Days. Given that the console was only recently hit with a price hike, I'm surprised that you can score such a big price cut on it right now, so definitely take advantage while you can if you've been thinking of picking it up, as this price almost certainly won't be beaten all year.View Deal
Ideal for younger gamers, the Nex Playground comes with games ready to play out of the box, such as Fruit Ninja, Whac-a-Mole, and more. It's now down to a record-low price at Amazon. This neat little console relies on intuitive motion controls and is a locked-down system designed specifically with young children in mind.View Deal
The Meta Quest 3S is one of the best value VR headsets you can buy, and this Prime Day deal makes it even better value for money. Design and image quality do take a small hit to reach this lower price, but this is still a capable entry-level headset for playing some of the best VR games on the platform.View Deal
RAM and graphics card prices have been dreadful lately, but at least the same issues haven't impacted CPUs just yet. As an example, this AMD Ryzen 5 9600X is down to its lowest price in months for Prime Big Deal Days. It's a solid mid-range CPU for general use and gaming — and it's even the one I'm using right now in my PC. I've been very impressed with it, and at this price, it's hard to beat for value for money.View Deal
Pro 32GB 6400Mhz CL32 DDR5 RAM: was £509.99 now £399.99
Yes, there's apparently a "deal" on this high-end set of Crucial RAM, but when you look back and see that similar sets were under £100 in late 2025, it feels terrible to even consider buying at these prices. Still, if you're in desperate need of some quality RAM, it likely won't get any better than this for a while.View Deal
Star Wars Millennium Falcon: was £734.99 now £598.39
If you want one of the biggest building challenges Lego can provide, then this 7,542-piece Millennium Falcon from the Lego Star Wars Ultimate Collectors Series is the one for you. And with over £130 sliced off its original price tag, the force is strong with this deal in the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sale. Just be aware that it was up to £60 cheaper in previous events.View Deal
Whether it's your first sale or you're a veteran now, thanks for joining me for yet another rummage through the digital shelves at Amazon for its latest Prime Big Deal Days sale. While Black Friday is still about two months away, this event serves as a preview of what's to come, allowing us to get in some early shopping ahead of the peak season.
And there are lots of genuinely good offers up for grabs by the looks of it. I'm here to share all of the best ones with you right here over the next two days — along with some handy assists from the rest of the TechRadar team — so let's get into some highlights from day one.
October 6, 2026 – 4:29 AMLet's start with the inevitable Kindle deal(Image credit: Amazon)Amazon just unveiled a couple of new Kindle models, so naturally, there are discounts on the previous-generation version for Prime Big Deal Days.
Now, I should point out that a couple of these have actually been cheaper in the past, but the days of such aggressive price cuts appear to be far behind us now. This is still a decent offer for the standard Kindle, though, an is unlikely to be beaten over Black Friday.
Amazon Kindle: was £139.99 now £84.99 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 4:38 AMHere's an excellent value smart home bundle(Image credit: Ring)There's usually a standout value smart home bundle from Amazon in every Prime Day or Big Deal Days sale. Here's this year's: a Ring Battery Video Doorbell and a Ring Indoor Camera for £39.99 — that's a whopping £80 off the full price and excellent value for money if you want to dabble with a simple and easy home security setup.
Ring Battery Video Doorbell & Ring Indoor Camera: was £119.98 now £39.99 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 4:47 AMHere's one I actually bought last time(Image credit: Future)When I think back to this time last year when I decided I'd upgrade my ageing PC, I feel I got extremely lucky. The RAM and storage crisis was only just picking up, so I managed to sneak in with some key components before the costs really skyrocketed.
One of the items I bought was this AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, and it's been an impressive CPU in my new rig over the last 10 months for work, productivity, and a bit of light gaming. It gets a huge thumbs up from me if you're looking for a solid budget-friendly CPU.
AMD Ryzen 5 9600X: was £249.99 now £139.99 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 4:57 AMA tip top toothbrush(Image credit: Future)I was always put off by the thought of dropping lots of money on an electric toothbrush when most of the cheaper alternatives were fine. But when I finally picked up the original Suri about a year or so ago, I didn't regret my purchase at all. The newer 2.0 version is now on sale for Prime Big Deal Days, featuring an impressive 40-day battery life, fast wireless charging over USB-C, a useful pressure sensor, and comes with handy extras like a magnetic wall mount and UV cleaning travel case.
Suri Pro Sonic Electric Toothbrush: was £105 now £83.99 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 5:06 AMListen up — or don't(Image credit: Future)This one has been popular in a few previous sales, so I'm just letting you know that the handy loop earplugs are on sale again. Whether it's for sleeping, ear protection at a gig, muffling that horrendous tube screech on the Northern line, or just dulling a bit of the chaos of the outside world, these are a great little buy.
Loop Quiet 2 Ear Plugs: was £19.95 now £15.95 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 5:15 AMCan one human ever have too many USB cables?My partner would say yes, as I have several drawers and storage boxes and cupboards with various numbers of USB cables chucked in them. It's one of those things that just feels handy to have and weird to throw away. Anyway, if you're finding yourself a little short, this two pack of 3ft USB-A to USB-C cables is super-cheap right now.
Anker USB-C Charger Cable (2-Pack): was £7.99 now £5.69 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 5:26 AMNaturally, Fire TV Sticks are discounted(Image credit: Future)It wouldn't be an Amazon sale without big discounts on Fire TV Sticks. And today's are especially juicy, notably on the Amazon Fire TV 4K Select, which is reduced by 66% to just £21.99. That's because Amazon is dropping this model (and the slightly pricer Plus model) to replace them with a new 4K Stick that it's just introduced. So if you're looking to buy today, you get the benefit of a good ol' fashioned clearance sale.
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select: was £64.99 now £21.99 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 5:36 AMSpeaking of Fire TVs…Amazon Ember TVs (they used to be called Fire TVs) are a regular feature of any Prime Day sale. And while they may not be the most powerful or advanced displays, we rate several of them as good options if you want a capable budget to watch live TV or stream your favourite shows.
Amazon Ember 50-inch 4K TV: was £499.99 now £279.99 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 5:43 AMAn Apple Watch for just £199(Image credit: Future)If want the health and fitness features of the Apple Watch for a lower price tag than the latest flagship version offers, this deal on the Apple Watch SE 3 is ideal. You get heart rate tracking (including warning of irregularities), fall detection, sleep tracking, select notifications on your wrist, workout tracking and more. It's not a very big discount over its previous £219 price, but it's only ever been £2 cheaper than this, so it's a great deal, especially if you want to get a nice gift bought for someone early.
Apple Watch SE 3: was £219 now £199 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 5:53 AMOr step up to the Apple Watch Series 11(Image credit: Future)If you want more features than the Apple Watch SE 3 offers, the Apple Watch Series 11 is available from just £259, down from its £319 launch price. This is last year's model, with the Series 12 having just been released — but for some people the old model might actually be preferable, because Apple increased the size of the screen bezel in the latest one. In any case, you're getting tons of the same features as the SE 3, but with a better screen, more accurate tracking, blood oxygen detection, an ECG and more.
Apple Watch Series 11: was £319 now £259 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 6:01 AMA strong early laptop dealAll of the back-to-school sales are now behind us, but if you've found your current laptop isn't cutting it in the classroom, or just want a capable new device for home use, then there are a couple of good options in the Prime Big Deal Days sale.
The one is recommend the most is this Asus Vivobook 15. It's a little older now, sure, but it still offers impressive overall power and performance for the price, with a 15.6-inch display, excellent AMD Ryzen 7 processor, a useful 16GB of RAM, a reasonable 512GB of SSD storage, all for around £400.
Asus Vivobook 15: was £476 now £402.99 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 6:10 AMBudget-friendly Bose noise cancellation(Image credit: Future / Bose)These Bose buds are a bargain if you need something to quiet the world around you. Just £109 for something with premium noise cancellation and great sound is a good deal, and they have a really solid fit thanks to using fins on the edge as well as fitting in your ear.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds: was £179 now £109 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 6:29 AMWhat're ya buyin', stranger?It's all well and good if I'm recommending deals I've spotted, but it's much better if you let me know what you're on the hunt for this Prime Day. Let me know below and I'll keep an eye out for any relevant bargains!
October 6, 2026 – 6:55 AMThis deal has the powerWhen I was looking into picking up a pressure washer a couple of years ago for a few light jobs around the house, this name came up repeatedly as a great option that also offered good value for money. So I bought it.
Today it's on sale again, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a quality and affordable pressure washer. As well as its solid build quality, strong water pressure and portability, you also get a good selection of attachments in this bundle.
Bosch EasyAquatak 120: was £115.62 now £82.99 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 7:21 AMDo I finally buy the coffee machine of my dreams?(Image credit: Breville)Every time there's an Amazon sale, I look longingly at one of those super-fancy coffee machines and think about how wonderful it would be to have one in my kitchen. Is this the time I finally get one? Probably not again. However, at this record-low price for the highly-rated Sage Barista Express, it's extremely tempting.
Sage Barista Express: was £629.95 now £449 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 7:50 AMI've just refreshed a few of the deals sections and will be taking a quick break for lunch. When I'm back, I'll have another search through the sale to see if any new categories are worth adding and I'll continue spotlighting the very best tech offers and basket-filling bargains from the sale.
October 6, 2026 – 8:41 AMI'm back and full of beans (well, leftover meatballs and pasta) so the deals hunting continues. Let's see what some of the top picks are from several other writers across TR this afternoon.
October 6, 2026 – 9:04 AMThe very best TV deal in the sale(Image credit: Future)You can always trust our resident TV expert, James Davidson, to have a top pick from any Amazon sale. This time around, his recommendation is currently the display that sits atop our best TV guide. Yep, it's the fantastic LG C6.
LG C6 55-inch OLED TV: was £1,499 now £1,399 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 9:19 AMSounds good to me(Image credit: Future)In a blind audio test, this Bose portable speaker came out on top, fending off some tough competition from JBL and Ultimate Ears. Harry Padoan is a huge fan, and now finds it easy to recommend at this new low deal price.
Bose SoundLink Micro Gen 2: was £119.95 now £79.95 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 9:52 AMThrowing this one into the mix(Image credit: FAB Communications)A regular fixture of the Bake Off tent, the KitchenAid Stand Mixer is a well-rated appliance and number one bestseller on Amazon. With how good they are, you can see why. If you've fancied getting one yourself to show off your baking skills, then this shiny new model is down to its lowest-ever price for Prime Day.
KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer: was £549 now £319.99 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 10:16 AMI'm clinging onto summer with this oneIt's not a tech deal, but am I buying it? Absolutely yes. I stocked up on this 24-pack of Inch's cider during the summer Prime Day, and I'm almost out, so it's about time to refill the fridge. Yes, the warm weather may be coming to an end, so it's not exactly cold cider weather any more, but I'll still enjoy one of these when the sale is all over. Of course, I will be drinking responsibly.
Inch's Apple Cider 24 x 440ml cans: was £21.17 now £17.99 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 10:55 AMThis one's my typeOne item that was potentially on my shopping list for Prime Day was a new keyboard. My current one is great, but it's starting to show signs of its age and so I was thinking about replacing it. And, would you look at that, along comes this awesome deal on the highly-rated Keychron V6.
Keychron V6 Wired Mechanical Keyboard: was £69.99 now £52.99 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 11:27 AMStill some of the best bone conduction headphones you can buy(Image credit: Shokz)When it comes to bone conduction headphones, there's one brand that regularly stands out above the rest: Shokz. Our fitness experts rate many of its headphones and earbuds as top choices for exercise and running, so I need to shout of this record-equalling low price on the fantastic OpenRun Pro 2 for Prime Big Deal Days.
Shokz OpenRun Pro 2: was £169 now £134 on Amazon
I've been a reMarkable handwriting tablet fan for years now - and my favourite of the line-up, the trusty reMarkable 2 bundle, is now part of Amazon's October Prime Deals.
• Best for: Professionals who want to keep digital hand-written notes and sketches on an ultra-thin, ultra-light tablet.
• The deal: The reMarkable 2 with Marker Plus stylus and grey folio is now £379 (was £529) at Amazon.
• Why we like it: The reMarkable 2 is still delivers the best handwriting experience of any of the line - even the new reMarkable Paper Pure can't compete on the smoothness of this tablet. Hitting its lowest ever price, this bundle comes with the Marker Plus, which features a digital 'eraser' at one end, and a folio cover for protecting the screen.
Today's best reMarkable 2 deal2 With Marker Plus and Grey Book Folio: was £529 now £379
The reMarkable 2 still delivers the best handwriting experience of any reMarkable tablet I own. And with the company discontinuing this model, it's now at its lowest ever price. The bundle comes with a stylus, book folio, and 9 replacement marker tips. View Deal
I've been using the reMarkable 2 as my primary writing tablet for several years now - with a reMarkable Paper Pro Move and reMarkable Paper Pure as backups I picked up along the way. I've never regretted that choice.
After spending months looking into the best handwriting tablets, the reMarkable was the clear winner. It even beats the cheaper Kindle Scribe if you're focused on writing and drawing alone.
In our review, we said: "When it comes to the best writing and sketching experience you can get on an E Ink screen, there’s none better than the reMarkable 2." Having tried out a few different options now, I still think that's the case.
When I reviewed the reMarkable Paper Pure, I found that while the newer budget model is faster, the writing experience feels harder. Using the reMarkable 2 is softer, and more comfortable for extended periods of writing.
Think of the reMarkable 2 as like using a well-loved pencil on the first few pages of a new notepad, compared to using a biro on the last few pages of an A4 pad, which is what the new reMarkable tablets feel like.
Price context & historical valueFor the full bundle set, this is the lowest price I've seen the reMarkable 2 - presumably as the company shifts its focus to the Paper Pure (I called it the reMarkable 3 in all but name). The previous low price was £420 back in June. If memory serves, £379 traditionally only got you the tablet and Marker Plus in previous sales, so you're effectively getting the book folio free here.
For more business essentials, I'm live-tracking the best October Prime Day home office deals.
Should you buy it?✅ Buy the reMarkable 2 bundle if...
You write lots of notes and don't have space for a thousand notebooks (or is that just me?). The writing experience here remains unparalleled.
❌ Skip the reMarkable 2 bundle if...
You write in darker environments where the Paper Pro and Paper Pro move are better picks thanks to the frontlight.
CEO of Amazon Web Services Matt Garman has released a statement in defense of AI data centers that labels the technology as “The race our nation can’t afford to lose”.
Within it, Garman calls on the United States to band together against “misinformation and outright lies” that are being spread about AI data centers to prevent the country from missing out on the huge benefits that will be provided to the economy, national security, and local communities.
“A lapse in our nation’s focus or resolve could put us behind, and potentially irreparably so,” Garman says.
Debunking the mythsThere has been a significant amount of messaging about the positives and negatives of the AI data center buildout, with falsehoods and misinformation fueling both sides.
Garman’s statement starts with a section aimed at countering the ‘myths’ spread about AI data centers, such as water use, higher energy costs, and pollution - but keep in mind that Garman makes no distinction between AI data centers and regular data centers.
For example, Garman argues that data centers account for “0.5% of total U.S. direct industrial water use”, but draws on the figures of direct water use to argue this point.
The indirect water usage of data centers is far higher, and often isn’t included in water estimates for AI data centers. The indirect water usage includes upstream factors such as the water used to generate the huge amounts of electricity that data centers rely on. Data centers are also being built in regions that have experienced long-term droughts, exacerbating water shortages and their effects on local ecosystems.
Garman also labels the rise in US energy bills caused by data centers as “misleading and convenient scapegoating,” arguing that “the accelerated adoption of AI is precipitating a build-out that was destined to happen.” What Garman fails to mention is that the infrastructural build-out is being fueled by AI data centers.
Up until very recently, new grid connections for data centers haven’t been paid outright by the developers. Instead, grid operators have funded new connections and upgrades to power lines through increased bills on rate-payers. It is only the backlash from rate payers that has preceded the introduction of Trump’s voluntary Ratepayer Protection Pledge - and the much more binding (and bipartisan) Ratepayer Protection Act. Had there been no public backlash, these measures would not have been necessary.
The next myth Garman attempts to counter relates to the pollution caused by “large backup diesel generators”. Garman states that these are necessary as the services “consumers, businesses, and governments rely on every day” are provided by data centers. This is, in its exact wording, true.
But the pollution many of those in the US are arguing against is attributed to the fossil fuel burning gas turbine engines that many AI data centers use as an alternative to connecting to regional power grids - particularly if their connection requests are denied. The turbines at some campuses give off the same noise pollution as an international airport, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The sounds they produce have also been involved in causing neurological symptoms in local residents.
The demand for gas, pushed higher by AI data centers, could see the US use more natural gas than Germany and Japan combined by 2035, and the associated pollution could cause generational health decline and cost $25 billion in associated costs.
The final myth that Garman seeks to debunk is that ‘Community members get nothing from data centers’, arguing that data center operators are “often the single largest taxpayer in a community” and that this “reduces the taxes paid by families, but it also funds investments in schools, fire and police departments, parks, roads, and other community services.”
But data center operators are also the largest beneficiaries of tax cuts and credits too. Numerous states have begun repealing tax cuts for data centers after seeing billions lost in expected revenue - billions that otherwise could have been used for funding investment in community services.
Garman also points to the boom in construction jobs associated with the AI data center buildout, but doesn’t include that many of these jobs are temporary. Once the construction of a data center is complete, these jobs often disappear unless there is continuing demand within the local region, and operational data centers themselves require a very small number of employees.
Amazon’s new community commitmentsIn an effort to get local communities onboard with data centers, Garman’s statement also lays out a number of ‘codified’ community commitments that Amazon will adhere to.
These commitments fall under four pillars; Protecting & Enhancing Communities; Providing Jobs & Economic Benefit; Engaging Communities; and Building & Operating Responsibly.
The full list of commitments is available here, but there are a few key points to look at. Outside of vague commitments to covering the cost of grid connections and infrastructural upgrades, paying their fair share of taxes, and paying the workers they hire, Amazon will contribute "$1 billion over the next five years" to jobs and education, energy affordability and water solutions, and community investment.
Given that Amazon operates 236 data centers that are operational or under construction, this $1 billion figure amounts to around $4,237,000 per data center over the full five years, or about $847,000 per data center per year.
Amazon has also announced a commitment to “no longer use nondisclosure agreements with the government agencies we work with on our projects.”
This is by far the biggest announcement included in Garman’s statement, yet it takes up just a single line. Local communities have long called out for more transparency around AI data centers.
In numerous cases, NDAs have been used to prevent local governments from discussing planned data centers with their constituents. In numerous other cases, data centers have only been announced to local communities after the necessary permits are secured, preventing local residents from being involved in the consultation process and limiting their ability to oppose new projects.
The community commitments offered by big tech companies such as Amazon and Meta looking to build AI data centers are not out of the goodness of their hearts. They are a direct result of the community backlash against AI data centers that has occurred across the US.
Had this huge opposition not happened these benefits would not be offered, but they are being jazzed up by big tech companies as a benefit they are providing to communities rather than the efforts of grassroots movements and every day Americans fed up with being subject to rising bills, increased noise pollution, and an economic system that favors those with money and power.
If you're searching for a new mobile controller, then there's no need to wait for Amazon Prime Day. Best Buy's Techtober Sale is live right now, with the brilliant Razer Kishi Ultra available for just $104.99 (was $149.99) – a $45 saving.
• Browse the full Best Buy Techtober Sale
This is comfortably the best mobile controller that I've ever tested and, believe me, I've gone hands-on with countless models across the price spectrum. It's supremely comfortable in the hands, offers rare full-size thumbsticks and buttons, and comes with some brilliant software that enables compatibility with games that don't traditionally support mobile pads. It even has full RGB lighting, which means it looks awesome to boot.
There is a catch, though. This model is being phased out in favor of the newer(though not meaningfully better) Razer Kishi V3 Pro, so it's become pretty hard to find. This Best Buy offer is labelled as clearance, so it might be your last chance to get your hands on it before it's gone for good!
Today's best mobile controller dealRazer Kishi Ultra: was $149.99 now $104.99
This is a near-perfect mobile controller that I awarded a rare full five-star score thanks to its incredibly comfortable form factor, brilliant performance, and compatibility with a wide range of USB Type-C phones and even smaller tablets. Currently on clearance, I'd snap it up while you can!View Deal
The Razer Kishi Ultra used to have a spot locked down on our best mobile controllers guide, only replaced by the Razer Kishi V3 Pro when availability started to become more limited.
It's still an excellent pad, though, and in my eyes, actually the better of the two models. It's not only cheaper, but it has RGB lighting, which the V3 Pro entirely lacks. Performance is otherwise extremely similar, so you're not losing out by going for this slightly older design.
The United States has approved construction of a 300MW small modular reactor as electricity demand from artificial intelligence infrastructure continues rising.
The decision gives Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) the authorization to construct GE Vernova Hitachi's BWRX-300 reactor at its Clinch River site.
The same reactor technology is also gaining attention in Britain, where investors are proposing a large deployment across multiple locations.
BWRX-300 gets regulatory approval in AmericaThe US Nuclear Regulatory Commission completed its assessment in 14 months, allowing TVA to proceed with construction at Clinch River.
However, the utility still requires another license before loading nuclear fuel or beginning electricity generation from the approved reactor unit.
TVA is considering as many as four BWRX-300 units at the Tennessee location, although construction timing remains undecided.
The reactor uses boiling-water technology, with natural circulation helping to move coolant without depending entirely on powered pumping equipment.
Its safety design also uses gravity, pressure and stored water to protect certain operating conditions without external power.
At 300MW, each reactor would generate roughly one-quarter of the capacity provided by newer reactors operating at Georgia's Vogtle facility.
“This construction permit is more than a regulatory achievement — it's foundational for America's nuclear future,” said Mike Skaggs, TVA's interim president.
The approval comes as utilities seek dependable electricity sources capable of operating continuously while AI facilities increase demand across power networks.
Nuclear generation can provide steady output without depending upon weather conditions, although construction costs and lengthy development periods remain major concerns.
The BWRX-300 is intended to address some construction difficulties through simpler architecture, fewer components and greater use of manufactured equipment.
Britain and Canada could pursue the same reactor technologyThe BWRX-300 is not limited to the US project, with SGE proposing as many as 14 of the reactors across three UK sites under the country's advanced nuclear policy.
Britain's government introduced its Advanced Nuclear Framework earlier this year to support privately financed nuclear developments and strengthen future electricity supply.
SGE’s plan could require approximately £35 billion, equivalent to about $46.5 billion, if the entire proposed programme proceeds.
Canada is also preparing to deploy the same reactor design, with Ontario Power Generation developing its first unit and preparing its construction programme.
In Texas, Blue Energy has applied for permission to develop BWRX-300 reactors intended to supply electricity directly to data center facilities.
The repeated use of one design is expected by developers to improve procurement, manufacturing and construction efficiency across multiple projects.
That expectation remains unproven in America, where recent large nuclear developments have experienced substantial delays and costs exceeding initial estimates.
TVA's project will therefore provide another test of whether smaller standardized reactors can satisfy large electricity users without repeating those construction difficulties.

Japan is preparing a major expansion of artificial intelligence infrastructure, with Dell, Apollo and Jera planning investments potentially reaching $140bn.
The companies intend to develop between 3GW and 4GW of AI computing facilities alongside gas-fired generation during the next five years.
Their first project is expected to cost $15bn and deliver 400MW near Tokyo, with operations scheduled to begin around 2028.
Speed and power drive the planA Jera executive said the companies are seeking faster development by linking electricity generation directly with computing facilities.
“The keyword is speed to power. If you see Asia outside China, Japan is a major data centre market,” said Yukio Kani, global chief executive of Jera.
Kani said Jera’s annual LNG trading volume of 35mn tonnes could support power plants serving computing facilities for planned sites.
The proposed Tokyo-area development would operate independently from Japan’s national electricity network.
Apollo will finance the initial $15bn facility, while Dell and Jera will contribute technology and energy infrastructure capabilities.
The estimated cost of $35bn to $45bn for each gigawatt places the potential programme near $140bn in investment.
The partners also intend to standardise construction methods for computing facilities and electricity infrastructure.
That approach could allow projects to be replicated elsewhere, with companies considering additional developments beyond Japan.
The planned capacity would give the partnership a substantial presence in Japan’s expanding market for electricity-intensive artificial intelligence services.
However, the proposed scale depends on delivering both generation assets and computing facilities within five years.
Japan seeks more AI capacityThe proposed facility near Tokyo is expected to become one of Asia’s largest artificial intelligence computing projects outside China when operations begin.
Its independent electricity supply could reduce reliance on the existing grid, although there are no details about generation capacity.
The partners have not limited their ambitions to Japan, saying facilities and power projects could be developed elsewhere across Asia.
Japan already hosts major operators including NTT Data and SoftBank, while Blackstone has announced a separate $30bn expansion programme in the coming years.
Despite those investments, Japan remains well behind the United States and China in electricity use associated with installed computing facilities.
According to the International Data Center Authority, US data centres consume 29.2GW of electricity, representing 43% of global data centre consumption.
China accounts for 8.5GW, while Japan consumes only 1.7GW, equivalent to approximately 12.5% and 2.5%, respectively.
However, Japan’s figure could rise as the government seeks ¥32.7tn, equivalent to $206bn, in public and private investment through 2035.
This investment forms part of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s plan to support strategically important sectors.
The programme includes cloud computing and data centre infrastructure among the areas designated for strategic investment through 2035.
These planned investments therefore give Japan a larger role in the regional expansion of AI computing infrastructure and electricity supply.

A 16-year-old bug hunter who goes by 'Faav' logged into Microsoft's internal Titan analytics platform using a token that no real credentials should have produced, and from an administrator's seat, he could see an estimated 17.3 trillion stored rows and a metadata table listing roughly 25,000 accounts.
Microsoft paid him $5,000 and has since closed the hole, prompting him to detail his findings online even as he describes the impact as hypothetical rather than a consequential breach.
He said the way in was a single missed check, which let him access a system that should otherwise have been locked to Microsoft staff behind a VPN.
A simple mistake that could have catastrophic in the wrong handsMicrosoft's Titan sits behind a "VPN required" page meant to keep its web interface to Microsoft staff, but its API was still reachable through an Azure Cloud Services host, and the Swagger file describing that API listed four access routes.
Three demanded Azure AD authentication. One, "/v2/Query", did not, and it accepted raw SQL, giving Faav a way in. He wasn't moving blind either; to learn what tables to ask for, Faav pulled 2023 snapshots of Titan's pages from the Wayback Machine and recovered an archived Apache Superset configuration listing 56 table definitions.
The deeper flaw was in how the service read login tokens. As Faav explained, Titan validated the contents of a JSON Web Token- the tenant, audience, application ID, and user- but never verified the cryptographic signature that is supposed to prove the token is genuine, offering the analogy of a hotel where every door has a working keycard reader but any keycard opens any room, making it essentially an ineffective check at best.
He submitted an unsigned token, and then, after ten days of failed logins, stopped treating the "upn" field as a real email identity and set it to the plain string admin. Titan resolved that to local user ID 1, which carried the admin role, and ran his query.
The saga has an interesting AI subplot: Faav hunts with an orchestration bot he built called Antares, which he says was running OpenAI's Codex and Anthropic's Claude. Antares did the grunt work, enumerating subdomains, mapping the attack surface, and pushing the forged token through four layers of validation, one error message at a time.
It did get stumped, however, when it tried to find a UPN; it got stuck attempting only email addresses. That is not a problem per se for what was essentially a brute-force-style approach using the most probable email addresses, but it took manual intervention from the hacker to try 'admin' instead as an alternative to finally get access.
Admin access opened Titan's platform metadata database, which, according to his tally, held about 25,000 account and email records, roughly 18,000 employee email records, 15,000 organization records, and tens of thousands of dashboards, charts, and dataset definitions.
The disclosure moved quickly once he reported it on September 5 2026 as case 144051. Microsoft asked him to stop testing and hand over his IP address between September 6 and 8, locked the endpoint on September 9, and paid out on September 17.
There is an interesting caveat, however: Faav discloses that Microsoft had editorial control over his write-up, cutting sections and figures and reshaping how it described the impact before he published, so the most authoritative account of this bug has already been shaped by the company it embarrasses. None of this makes the bug small, however: one unverified signature that made every other access control in Titan pointless is a potential security nightmare, nipped in the bud by a teenager who has had success with similar bugs at Amazon, Google, and Adobe, in addition to a prior disclosure at Microsoft.
Phishing campaigns targeting American financial institutions are spreading across a fragmented web of hosting services, making fraudulent infrastructure difficult to contain.
New research from Netcraft has uncovered almost 40,000 unique phishing URLs connected to US financial services were discovered in the first half of 2026.
Behind those URLs were 645 hosting providers and 576 registrars, while newer services and automated AI tools helped attackers move quickly between platforms.
Cheap infrastructure is helping campaigns multiplyThe scale of the activity becomes clearer when the services carrying these attacks are examined rather than the fraudulent websites alone.
Free developer and application hosting accounted for 12.6% of phishing URLs recorded against US financial services during H1 2026.
That means approximately one in eight observed attacks relied upon infrastructure that attackers could access without paying conventional hosting fees.
Netcraft observed significant changes in infrastructure use between Q1 and Q2, suggesting criminals were switching services as infrastructure became unavailable or less useful.
AI is making that movement easier by helping users create websites, reproduce legitimate pages and deploy malicious infrastructure with less technical effort.
Netcraft said generative AI website builders and cloning tools increasingly include free web hosting options, further reducing the work required to establish campaigns.
The financial brands being impersonated also show where attackers are concentrating their efforts across the sector during the reporting period.
Payment service providers accounted for 37.2% of observed phishing activity, with PayPal representing 80.6% of attacks within that subsector.
American Express accounted for 72.8% of observed activity involving card networks, showing how heavily campaigns can focus on recognizable financial brands.
Omegatech emerges as another source of attack infrastructureThe infrastructure picture changed further with the emergence of Omegatech, a paid hosting provider based in the Seychelles, which started operations in January 2026.
By June, Netcraft attributed roughly 3% of observed phishing attacks against US financial services to infrastructure hosted through Omegatech.
One cluster contained 16 .es domains that generated 585 unique attack URLs between March 25 and April 21 2026.
Those domains were used to impersonate 41 financial brands through subdomains, allowing one cluster to support campaigns against numerous institutions.
Registration data for many of those domains was unavailable, limiting visibility into the companies responsible for registering the infrastructure.
Omegatech's emergence came as another major campaign was winding down after targeting Fidelity Investments through the Darcula phishing platform.
That operation fell sevenfold from Q1 to Q2, after previously accounting for more than half of phishing infrastructure impersonating Fidelity.
Meanwhile, financially motivated North Korean groups and organized criminal operators continued pursuing banks, cryptocurrency services and compromised accounts.
The changing mix suggests that attackers are not relying on one platform, campaign or technique to reach financial customers.
Financial companies are advised to closely monitor newly registered domains, restrict suspicious links and strengthen employee verification procedures against impersonation attempts.
Anybody looking to get their steps in and continue their fitness goals over fall and winter — but doesn't like the idea of walking in the cold and dark, be it for comfort or safety reasons — should give under-desk treadmills or walking pads a look.
Slimmer and cheaper than normal treadmills, they can slide under a sofa or bed when not in use, so they're easy to store. They're not fast because they lack guardrails, but they're perfect for getting you moving while watching TV or working (alongside a standing desk). Having this kind of low-impact cardio fitness equipment at home makes it easy to hit step goals and keep moving, even during winter, helping you to stay healthy.
My pick of the deals so far is the Urevo Spacewalk E1L, now available at Best Buy for just $129.99 (was $189.99), saving you $60. Check out the deal in full below:
The Urevo Spacewalk E1L is portable, features five layers of shock absorbers in the belt, and supports up to 265lbs of user weight. It comes with a remote control to manage speed, and features an LED display at the head of the treadmill. No fuss, no frills, and it's usable right out the box. View Deal
While we haven't reviewed this model, we have reviewed its sibling treadmill, the Urevo Spacewalk E4w, which shot right to the top of our best under-desk treadmills buying guide. It has a similar weight, top speed, and power, so I feel comfortable recommending the E1L with the deal on, based on the quality of the E4w.
Not in the US? You can check out this UK deal from Amazon on another Urevo treadmill, the 2-in-1.
2-in-1 under desk treadmill: was £139.99 now £99.99
Save £40 on the 2-in-1 treadmill. With a similar 2.5HP motor and profile as the treadmill above, the main difference here is the treadmill's incline capability, with the capacity to go up to 9% to simulate more challenging hill walks. View Deal
Whether you're looking to work on a standing desk or you're interested in getting your step count goals smashed while staying cozy at home, an under-desk treadmill is a smart health purchase, especially for exercisers who may not enjoy or be able to take part in higher-impact training. I've reviewed quite a few walking pads during my stint as TechRadar's fitness editor, and asked writers to review others for me.
They're useful gadgets. Research found that for people unable to tolerate moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, lower-intensity walking was still beneficial for improving health. If you loathe running or cycling, sticking to one of the best streaming services and settling in for a binge-watch while walking on a treadmill might be just the thing to get you exercising.
In less than two weeks of September 2026, three local governments in two states moved against new data centers, with one passing to date: Pima County, Arizona, adopted one on September 22 and, within a week, the Goldwater Institute said it was illegal.
Guilford County, North Carolina, voted on September 17 to hold a hearing on a moratorium on September 28, and Charlotte set a hearing on extending its own pause into October 2027, a net increase of 11 months, should it pass.
The moves come amid backlash from residents as local officials scramble to keep hyperscale campuses out of cities otherwise earmarked for large buildouts because of cheap land, electricity, lax local laws, or a desirable mix of all three.
A pause with nothing to pauseGuilford County, North Carolina, has not paused anything yet despite its Board of Commissioners voting unanimously to schedule an October 15 public hearing on a temporary moratorium of up to 180 days on new data center projects. This is for two reasons: the ordinance still needs to be drafted, heard, and potentially adopted.
The other reason, somewhat ironically, is simply because there is no actual project to stop or pause to begin with. Planning Director Leslie Bell told the board the county has no pending building permits or other requests for a new data center in its unincorporated areas, the Rhino Times reported. It seems to be laying the groundwork to prevent future legal challenges. This, however, comes as more North Carolina cities and towns push data center moratoriums, with Bell putting the number at over 18.
Pine County, Arizona, has taken a more nuanced, albeit somewhat underwhelming, approach. As the only of the three counties we are covering with an active moratorium in place, it also has one that does not address the projects residents have raised as an issue at meetings.
The moratorium passed on September 22, when its Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 to pause new data center development in unincorporated areas for 120 days, fails to cover two key projects already underway: Project Blue and Project Gravel. The county's proposal still faces a potential legal challenge, as the Goldwater Institute sent a demand letter asking the county to rescind the pause altogether.
Charlotte, North Carolina, whose council voted 11-0 on June 8 to pause new data centers for 150 days, is considering buying even more time to make a final decision beyond the four months it has already spent.
On September 28, the council set an October 12 public hearing on extending the pause by 11 months, through October 11, 2027, the Charlotte Observer reported. At-large Council member Dimple Ajmera called it "one of the consequential policy decisions that we will be making."
The problem is more complex: data centers are allowed by right in eight of Charlotte's zoning districts, so they need no council approval there, and council members have raised concerns about that gap since at least 2023, but a policy review has yet to address it. As Deputy City Manager Alyson Craig told a council committee in September, there was no clear path for ordinance changes.
The problems of each county are different, but one could argue that they are considerably similar in the way that all of them are looking to address a gap in the rulebook rather than a wave of upcoming projects at a time when there is increased interest by hyperscalers to find cheap land with cheaper, readily available access to water and power.
While rulebooks can be updated, local governments have to wrestle with the tradeoff: data centers will create few long-term jobs, but they can offer high taxable value in some cases through local taxation, in addition to the power and water bills they will inevitably generate.
At the same time, residents who voted said councils in are concerned about potentially higher power bills and limited access to water, resulting in a perfect storm where legal challenges like the one from the Goldwater Institute only add to the chaos for counties that have never had the legislature to handle such issues in the past.
The majority of US voters have expressed their opposition to further AI data centers, as newly published research by The New York Times and Siena University found 1,503 likely US midterm voters have major concerns over the direction of travel with AI data center construction.
However, the survey found the data center issue is not a priority for most US voters, where economic and foreign policy matters are more prominent.
Reaction to the polling is likely to be minimal, but it appears to underpin the growing discontent with the approval of increasingly expansive data centers. Concerns over the environment (such as wildlife, water use, and impact on nearby communities) dominate the responses to the poll.
The data center questionThe question that has attracted the most attention from the poll (paywalled) – which covers a range of issues rather than just AI – was worded “In general, do you support or oppose the construction of data centers to support artificial intelligence, also known as AI, technology in the U.S.?”
An overall response of 61% opposing to 34% supporting highlights how fed up voters are with the AI issue. Data centers are perhaps the most tangible, visible element of the technology for voters to focus their ire on, given the impact the facilities have on local communities and ecology.
Perhaps the most interesting factor of the overall response to the main question was how the result is split. Based on 2024 voting, 49% of Republicans support AI data center construction versus 47% who do not; 18% of Democrats support construction, while 75% do not. (Among independent supporters, the result is 36% support, 60% oppose, and all three measures accommodate the “don’t knows.”)
Regulatory supportersWhile the survey explored many topics, it spent some time quizzing the respondents further on AI. Here, some nuance can be found, with 56% of voters in favor of limits to AI data centers, whereas 38% supported a total ban on further construction. Interestingly, a slight majority (42% vs 40%) trusted the Republicans to handle the data center matter.
Those polled expressed support for key concerns surround data center construction, with 32% citing water usage or the environment as the biggest worry. The impact on local communities and resources was expressed by 21%, while 18% had a general distrust or dislike of AI. Impact on local economies and jobs was 9% of those polled, while 10% had concerns over AI regulations.
The poll was completed before President Trump’s statement against guardrails, which he believes would hamper America in the AI race with China.
The global EV sales figures are in — and while Tesla’s Model Y still dominates the list of August’s best-selling pure electric vehicles, models from Chinese automakers Geely and BYD are closing in fast.
According to CleanTechnica’s detailed report on the electric and plug-in hybrid market, the Geely Xingyuan (also badged EX2 in markets outside of China) and the BYD Song (Seal U) are rapidly catching up with Tesla’s best-selling electric crossover.
In fact, Chinese automakers now account for a huge proportion of the world's best-selling EVs, with BYD, Geely and a growing collection of younger brands filling out the top 20.
Leapmotor, MG, Fang Cheng Bao (FCB), Qiyuan, Li, Wuling and Xiaomi all now offer models that outsell established global players like Toyota.
There's also a growing divide between battery electric vehicle sales and hybrids. According to the data, BEVs experienced a 13% year-on-year growth, while PHEVs witnessed a 12% year-on-year decline.
(Image credit: CleanTechnica)Tesla still comfortably tops the table when it comes to the best-selling electric vehicles in the world, with the Model Y almost doubling the sales of its closest rival, the BYD Song/Seal U, in August.
But its grip is slipping as one of the top auto brands in the world when it comes to EV sales, with BYD comfortably topping that chart in August. BYD's sales volume was 375,373, compared to Tesla's 141,996.
It’s an indicator that offering just two models, the Model 3 and Model Y, could be holding Tesla back.
Analysis: Chinese manufacturers are accelerating(Image credit: Geely)Delving into the manufacturer rankings tells an even more compelling story than sales for individual models.
BYD remains the world's biggest EV manufacturer when it comes to 2026 year-to-date sales figures through August, accounting for 20.3% of global plug-in vehicle sales year to date.
Geely is second with 9.9%, while Tesla sits third with 8.3%. Volkswagen Group follows with 7%, with SAIC in close fifth at 6.3%.
But look further down the table and the traditional automotive hierarchy looks like it is being rewritten.
Wuling, Xpeng and Fang Cheng Bao have also usurped the likes of BMW, Kia and Volkswagen in the top auto brands in the world for EV sales in August.
(Image credit: TechRadar / Myriam Joire)However, the data reveals one of the biggest surprises in the August rankings: what has become of Tesla's other biggest seller.
The Model 3 has traditionally been a fixture near the top of the global EV sales charts for years, but its position is becoming increasingly vulnerable as Chinese manufacturers expand.
Not only was it out-sold by Geely's EX2, but three more BYD models are closely trailing it.
Regardless, Tesla doesn't appear to be going anywhere soon, as still occupies two of the top positions among EVs produced outside of China, with the Model Y comfortably leading the table. But the cars immediately behind them are also shifting.
(Image credit: Tesla)Toyota's surprisingly popular bZ4X has risen to third among non-Chinese EVs and is only just behind Tesla’s Model 3, while BMW's iX1/X1 PHEV combination and Skoda's Elroq are closing in.
All of this data appears to point towards the fact that the battle for EV sales is no longer simply about building the fastest, longest-range or most technologically advanced EV.
Some of the biggest sellers are small, affordable electric cars.
For Tesla, which now only offers two relatively expensive vehicles in its line-up, that could be a particular issue.
Lenovo's IdeaPad Slim 3i is a laptop built for everyday tasks, and this 16GB Core i5 configuration is now under $500 at Best Buy, but the clock's quite literally ticking on this laptop deal.
• Best for: Students and remote/hybrid workers who want a reliable Windows laptop for productivity, browsing, and streaming that won't break the bank.
• The deal: The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 15.6-inch laptop is now $500 (was $900) at Best Buy.
• Why it matters: Probably the best-priced laptop deal for anyone who wants a machine for work and study. Lenovo's laptop features a 13th-gen Intel Core i5-1335U with 16GB of RAM, which is double the memory you often get at this price, plus a 15.6-inch Full HD screen, USB-C and a privacy shutter on the webcam.
IdeaPad Slim 3i: was $899.99 now $499.99

We've tested a number of IdeaPad Slim 3i models, and all of them have fared well in reviews - even the Core i3 / 8GB model scored 4 stars. But this laptop deal has even better specs, coming equipped a Core i5 chip and 16GB of RAM that should handle multitasking and everyday office work more comfortably than that entry-level setup. Notably, Best Buy shoppers have rated this model 4.4 out of 5 across more than 1,300 reviews.
Price Context & Historical ValueAt $499.99, this is $400 off the $899.99 list price, but treat that headline saving with caution, since the list price could be slightly inflated. Still, we think this is a very fair price for a 16GB Core i5 laptop. Especially considering many laptop deals we've seen recently at the $500 mark tend to have 8GB memory.
