 Amazon is discounting the 128GB Wi-Fi 13-inch M3 iPad Air to $749.00 in three colors, down from $799.00. This matches the price that Best Buy is offering, but it doesn't require any membership to gain access to the deal.

Another day, another move from the Trump administration that will benefit Elon Musk — shocking. The US Department of Commerce has announced an overhaul of 2021's Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program and its $42.5 billion that will funnel work to Musk's Starlink.
The BEAD program was originally designed to give states funding for fiber-optic cable installation, increase Wi-Fi networks and free broadband internet access for some individuals. Fiber-optic broadband provides the fastest internet speeds, but the new mandate will get rid of BEAD's preference for it.
