We've rounded up the best early #PrimeDay deals we've found right here—on Amazon and other retailers—and we'll keep this story updated ahead of the main event which will be available on October 12 and 13. Shopping our links helps our journalism. wired.trib.al/3DHKze6
★ The Google Pixel 6A Unlocked Android Smartphone for $349 ($100 off) is our favorite Android phone, and it also earned our top pick as the Best Cheap Phone. This deal is a match of the best discount we’ve seen. 📸: Google #PrimeDay wired.trib.al/IV12BDD Image
★The SteelSeries Prime Wireless Mouse for $70 ($49 off) is our favorite gaming mouse! It's snappy and responsive, and satisfyingly clicky. The wireless range is impressive and reliable, and it moves smoothly on just about any surface. 📸: SteelSeries wired.trib.al/I9llNAT Image
★ This is the lowest price we have ever seen on this Staples FlexFit Hyken Mesh Task Chair for $140 ($60 off). It reclines and has a headrest, and the mesh allows for good airflow. It does the job very well.

The Echo Glow Night-Light for $17 ($13 off) is a good deal. Although it's a bad sunrise alarm, it’s a decent nightlight. It’s meant for kids, though it also works well in a guest room, especially when Alexa speakers double as sound machines. 📸: Amazon wired.trib.al/OSRJhNV Image
★ The Apple iPad Mini 64-GB Tablet for $400 ($100 off) looks like an iPad Pro with slimmer bezels and a smaller, 8.3-inch screen. Its portable size makes it great for traveling. 📸: Apple wired.trib.al/iuHd8PM Image
★ The Fire HD 10 Tablet for $75 ($75 off) is a match of a low price we’ve only seen. The Fire HD 10 is our favorite Amazon tablet. It’s best for light browsing or watching videos, but it's powerful enough to do some very light work tasks. 📸: Amazon wired.trib.al/Iq74qYU Image

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…

Records of hundreds of emergency calls from ICE detention centers obtained by WIRED—including audio recordings—show a system inundated by life-threatening incidents, delayed treatment, and overcrowding. wired.com/story/ice-dete…
Content warning:

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.

"I need help,” the woman said. "I need … ayuda."

Since Jan., 10 facilities have collectively placed nearly 400 EMS calls.

- Nearly 50 involved potential cardiac episodes
- 26 referenced seizures
- 17 involved head injuries

That's what has been recorded.

NEW: The alleged shooter is a 57-year-old white male; according to his ministry's website, he “sought out militant Islamists in order to share the gospel and tell them that violence wasn't the answer.”
wired.com/story/shooting…
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.”
