★ Google Pixel 6 Android Smartphone for $497 ($103 off) This deal has popped up a few times since Prime Day. You’ll get the same performance as the Pixel 6A but superior cameras, wireless charging, a 90-Hz screen, and better build materials.📸: Google wired.trib.al/Ebf5Dry
The Solo Stove Pi pizza oven for $425 ($200 off)
is our favorite pizza oven. We love the design, both aesthetically and functionally. It doesn’t take up too much space, and the top of the oven doubles as a flat cook surface. 📸: Solo Stove wired.trib.al/xsrVSXB
Use Code LaborDay15 to get the Shower Power Bluetooth Speaker for $84 ($15 off). There’s nothing to plug in since it’s powered by the water coming out of your shower, and it works with most showerheads. 📸: Ampere wired.trib.al/IowEHx2
The Luna weighted blanket for $60 ($15 off) deal is applied automatically at checkout, and while it matches others we’ve seen in the past, it’s still on par with the lowest price we’ve seen for one of our favorite weighted blankets. 📸:Luna wired.trib.al/4AXTYmE
★ The iRobot Roomba J7+ self-emptying robot vacuum for $589 ($210 off) is a great price on our favorite robot vacuum. The J7+ earned the top spot in our roundup because it has better navigation skills than its competitors. 📸: iRobot wired.trib.al/WhLhUMv
The Withings ScanWatch Smartwatch for $230 ($50 off) doesn’t look like the average smartwatch, and that’s exactly why we like it. In our detailed review, we highlight many of its appealing features, from the aesthetic to the battery life.📸: Withings wired.trib.al/et2zzvn
You'll get the Snow Peak Takibi Grill for $280 ($60 off) after you put it in your cart. Its solid, durable construction beats out similar models. Plus once you’re done cooking, you can turn it into a fire pit, and it folds to store flat. 📸: Snow Peak wired.trib.al/zuEgP1Z
★ The Apple 13.6-Inch MacBook Air (2022, M2) for $1099 ($100 off) is the first major discount we've seen on Apple's 2022, M2 model. It has a new design, a slightly bigger screen, a 1080p webcam, good battery life, and plenty of power. 📸: Apple wired.trib.al/S0ootJP

WIRED reviews editor Julian Chokkattu calls the Wandrd Prvke Camera Bag V2 for $254 ($45 off) the perfect camera bag. The Prvke is comfortable, durable, and has all of the pockets a gadget-laden photographer or videographer could hope for. 📸:Prvke wired.trib.al/iES4MG3
Get the Apple iPad (2021, 9th Gen) for $280 ($50 off). If you need a new iPad right now and your budget is tight, this is a good deal. You can also snag accessories that make the user experience even better. 📸: Apple wired.trib.al/o61kS8B

In an industry once known for cushy perks, some founders are now asking staff to commit to a 72-hour weekly schedule. You’re either in or you’re out. wired.com/story/silicon-…
Would you like to work nearly double the standard 40-hour week? It’s a question that many startups in the US are asking prospective employees—and to get the job, the answer needs to be an unequivocal yes. wired.com/story/silicon-…
These companies are embracing an intense schedule, first popularized in mainland China, known as “996,” or 9 am to 9 pm, six days a week. That’s a 72-hour work week, in case you’re doing the math. wired.com/story/silicon-…

Generative AI has put data centers under the spotlight, and surging electricity needs could increase risk of fires. wired.com/story/x-data-c…
A recent, hours-long fire at a data center used by Elon Musk’s X may have begun after an electrical or mechanical issue in a power system, according to an official fire investigation. wired.com/story/x-data-c…
Data center giant Digital Realty operates the 13-acre site, and multiple people familiar with the matter previously told WIRED that the Musk-run social platform X has servers there. wired.com/story/x-data-c…

NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”
wired.com/story/the-fbis…
The nearly three-minute discrepancy may be related to the widely reported one-minute gap—between 11:58:58 pm and 12:00:00 am—that attorney general Pam Bondi has attributed to a nightly system reset.
wired.com/story/the-fbis…Image
This comes after WIRED reported that the video had been stitched together in Adobe Premiere Pro from two video files, contradicting the Justice Department’s claim that it was “raw” footage.

It’s unclear what the minutes cut from the first clip showed.

BREAKING: Metadata shows the FBI’s ‘raw’ Jeffrey Epstein prison video was likely modified. wired.com/story/metadata…
Metadata embedded in the video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics experts shows that rather than being a direct export from the prison’s surveillance system, the footage was modified, likely using a Adobe Premiere Pro. wired.com/story/metadata…
Experts caution that it’s unclear what exactly was edited, and that the metadata does not prove deceptive manipulation. wired.com/story/metadata…

On March 16, a woman identifying herself as a detainee at the Stewart Detention Center in Georgia, called 911. Communication was strained: The dispatcher spoke no Spanish.

UPDATE: In a 2023 sermon reviewed by WIRED and delivered by the alleged shooter in the Democratic Republic of Congo, he preached against abortion and called for different Christian churches to become “one.” wired.com/story/shooting…
In another sermon in Matadi that year, Boelter railed against the LGBTQ community. “They're confused,” he said. “The enemy has gotten so far into their mind and their soul.”
