Valentine’s Day shouldn’t be stressful. Let us help make your gift-giving experience as easy as possible. We found discounts on some of our favorite products that your valentine will love. If you buy something using our links, we may earn a commission wired.trib.al/mEhQkRP 1/8

If you've ever seen pictures of mail-order bouquet disasters, you may have thought twice about sending them. Bouq’s arrangements and service speak for themselves, and all bouquets are discounted right now. wired.trib.al/8FTNJbA 📸: Bloomsberg Creative/Getty Images 2/8

This human-body-sized sock looks weird, but it’ll help you or your partner sleep like a peaceful, swaddled baby. If you don't live with your partner, it's like being hugged without the body heat or breathing in your ear. wired.trib.al/h5xVOHv 📸: Brian Munt/Hug Sleep 3/8

This dress is one of our favorite TikTok viral products. It's soft and stretchy, so your partner can do everyday chores and errands comfortably; however, the straps aren't adjustable. wired.trib.al/vlOvTaq 📸: Halara 4/8

Some people don’t like how a weighted blanket feels—consider this throw size instead. Cover yourself without annoying your partner or crushing bed-sharing pets. This one from Baloo is machine washable and dries quickly in the dryer. wired.trib.al/liJ3yIh 📸: Baloo 5/8

You can get your partner a traditional analog watch or you can gift them the newest Apple Watch at the lowest price we've seen yet. It comes in various colors and strap choices and is an elegant and smart wearable for their wrist. wired.trib.al/y0KrL3f 📸: Apple 6/8

Books are wonderful gifts, but it can be hard to choose just what your partner will like. And though we love physical books, Kindles are great little gadgets. We've seen this basic Kindle hit $50, but this is still a decent price. wired.trib.al/lNV3hlU 📸: Amazon 7/8

The seafloor of the central Arctic is a pretty inhospitable place. And it should be: Unlike more productive oceans, few nutrients swirl here thanks to the ice above blocking the light.

But scientists have discovered that indeed, life found a way. wired.trib.al/JPmRxZU 1/10

Thousands of years ago, the peaks of the Arctic's Langseth Ridge hummed with volcanic activity that produced sulfur, which fed tube worms. Or to be precise, the sulfur fed the symbiotic bacteria inside the worms which processed it into energy, sustaining the animals. 2/10

That volcanic activity died out long ago, but there is still life under this sea.

Maybe you've always been interested in building a setup for listening to LPs and 45s, or maybe you're just looking for an upgrade. Look no further—these are our favorites. If you buy something using our links, we may earn a commission. wired.trib.al/OBgBg1Y 1/8

If you only plan to occasionally spin records or you're tight on cash, the Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT with Bluetooth is a great option. It easily pairs with Bluetooth speakers or you can plug it into a stereo to get the best audio. wired.trib.al/ovlhsfz 📸: Audio Technica 2/8

The Fluance RT81 sounds great, but it’s also beautiful. The wood-grain body and shiny metal components absolutely ooze class even though it sells for a still-manageable price and comes with a built-in phono preamp. wired.trib.al/nzwLQUO 📸: Fluance 3/8

Whether the whole Joe Rogan podcast saga has suddenly made Apple Music more appealing or you were intent on ditching Spotify anyway, making the switcheroo while keeping all your carefully curated playlists is extremely easy. wired.trib.al/YP4N9h2 1/7

First, you’ll want to download SongShift from the App Store. Next, you’ll start selecting the supported music services you want to transfer to and from, and then logging in to each via SongShift. After, you’ll sign in to Spotify and Apple Music via the SongShift app. 2/7

Once you’ve signed in to each, click Setup Source and choose the playlist you’d like to transfer from Spotify. Next, select Setup Destination and choose Apple Music. Then simply click I’m Finished, and the transfer of your precious playlists will begin. 3/7

The mouse and trackpad are pretty fundamental to how we use our computers, but what if you're unable to use them in the usual way? Knowing the right shortcuts can save you time and the unnecessary headache. wired.trib.al/kdwdOJe 1/8

In Windows, the keyboard shortcuts you can use instead of a mouse or trackpad start simple and can get quite advanced. There's the Win button to open the Start menu, the Alt+Tab shortcut to switch between your open applications, and Alt+F4 to close down programs. 2/8

To control the behavior and position of open application windows, Win+Up maximizes them and Win+Down minimizes them. You can also tap Win+Left or Win+Right to snap the current window to the left or right of the screen. 3/8

Members of Trickbot privately gloated over what easy targets hospitals and health care providers make.
Their aim: to force hospitals busy responding to the surging Covid-19 pandemic to quickly pay ransoms.
