In less than a month, the sun will be setting after 7 p.m., warmer days will be on the way and you'll be glad you grabbed that smartwatch or pair of AirPods while they were on sale.
Apple iPad 10th Gen ($279, originally $349): This iPad is one of the best tablets you can buy, period. While we've seen this model for slightly cheaper, this is still a steal for the quality and performance you get — especially with features like the A14 Bionic chip, 10-hour battery life and that gorgeous Retina display.

Apple Watch Series 10 ($359, originally $429): Planning to get serious about your workout regimen in '25? Snag yourself one of these.

Samsung The Frame 65-Inch Class QLED 4K TV ($1,298, originally $1,997): This TV isn't just for binge-watching; it lets you show off your artistic side by displaying everything from classic works of art to the photos you took on vacation. Yes, it's a splurge, but with a gorgeous matte display and at $700 off, it's a whole lot easier to justify.
Reolink Altas PT Ultra ($150, originally $230): This home security camera continuously records in stunning 4K for up to 96 hours on a single charge, or for up to 500 days in motion-detection mode. You get excellent night vision too. Another bonus: No pesky subscription fee.

There are two types of people in this world: those who love to cook, and those who have the local takeout pizza place on speed dial. No shame in falling into either camp, but we'd bet those in the latter group might enjoy preparing food more if they owned the right tools. We're talking cookware that doesn't stick, knives that are actually sharp and maybe even an air fryer to keep from having to wait for the oven to preheat. Well, all of those things — and more — happen to be on sale, so go ahead and flex those culinary muscles without overexerting your wallet.
Henckels 20-Piece Knife Set ($160, originally $440): This No. 1 bestselling collection has every type of blade a home cook could need, so if the ones in your drawer can barely pierce through a tomato anymore, you'll want to add this to your cart while it's down to an all-time low.
HexClad 6-Piece Hybrid Cookware Set ($330, originally $532): Gordon Ramsay approves of this brand, and you know how particular the celebrity chef is. The pans' hybrid construction combines the best qualities of stainless steel, cast iron and nonstick for a one-of-a-kind product that, according to Ramsay, "is highly versatile and cooks exceptionally well." With this starter set, you'll get the 12-inch, 10-inch and 8-inch Hybrid pans, plus lids for each — and for nearly 40% off.
Ninja Creami ($169, originally $199): Keep the ice cream party going all year long with this top-rated appliance, which makes churning out customizable frozen treats a breeze. It's on sale for less at Walmart than it is at Amazon ... (it's also Yahoo editor-approved — check out our review for more).
Carote 5-Piece Nonstick Cookware Set with Detachable Handle ($40, originally $50): You'll be much more inspired to get in the kitchen if you've got some spiffy new cookware. This attractive, compact set is pretty genius in that it comes with a detachable handle that fits on each pot and pan so you can neatly stack everything to save space in your cabinet. The slick nonstick material makes cleanup a cinch, and at just $40 for two frying pans, a saucepan, silicone lid and handle? No-brainer.
Keurig K-Express Essentials ($35, originally $59): Rise and grind! Just kidding — with this Keurig, making coffee is as simple as filling the tank with water, popping in a K-Cup of your choice and pressing a button. Let's face it, mornings can be hectic, and the last thing you need as you're rushing around is an involved java-making process. This speedy brewer takes all the work out, and it's down to an insane $35 (40% off).
Le Creuset Signature Oval Dutch Oven, 8-Quart ($300, originally $475): If there's one thing Le Creuset is know for, it's Dutch ovens. Equally as stunning as it is functional, this roomy pot holds enough food to feed a crowd and can go in the oven at temperatures up to 500° F. Use it to cook those cozy comfort dishes like stew, braised meat, mashed potatoes ... you can even bake bread in it. It's also ideal for deep-frying and roasting a chicken. At $175 off, it's as low as we're seeing it for anywhere online — and if you order by February 28, you'll get a free 2-piece baking dish set with code BAKINGSET.
Vitamix Explorian 2.0 Blender ($280, originally $379): You'll feel like you have your own personal smoothie shop with this best-in-class appliance. Boasting a 2-horsepower motor, it'll effortlessly blitz up ice and frozen fruit, though you could also use it for whizzing up sauces or even grinding up meat. From soup to nuts (as in, homemade nut butters), this workhorse will level up your meal prep like no other — and this is the best price we're seeing. If it's your first QVC order, you'll get an extra $10 off with code WELCOME10 — and just for today, everyone can get $15 off orders of $75 or more with code LOVE15.
Instant Pot Vortex Plus Air Fryer ($150, originally $220): Air fryers are nothing new, but this one has two drawers for cooking multiple things simultaneously, saving you lots of time. Another nifty feature? The ClearCook windows, which, along with an interior oven light, allow you to keep an eye on your grub. In fact, this was one of the traits we called out in our roundup of the best air fryers: "All of its functions — from air frying to roasting — worked and worked well. We also appreciated the clear basket panels for watching our food come along." At over 30% off, this markdown brings the price to about as low as it's been since the holidays.

We've yet to see it dip lower than this, so stock up!

For many of us, one of the worst things about coming home after a vacation is remembering how un-hotel-like your bed is. But it doesn't have to be that way — and you don't have to spend big bucks to upgrade your sleep situation. Brands like Tempur-Pedic, Nectar, Purple and Oprah's beloved Cozy Earth are currently marked down so you can create the five-star bed of your dreams. From supportive mattresses and toppers to luxurious sheets, you won't want to snooze on these sales.
Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Adapt Mattress Topper, Queen ($198, originally $419): Tired of waking up with aches and pains? A topper is a fabulous option when you're not quite ready to part ways with your less-than-cloudlike mattress, or simply don't want to shell out tons of money for a new one. There's a lot to love about this model, from its lofty 3-inch height to its machine-washable cover. But what really sets it apart is the fact that it's constructed from Tempur-Pedic's signature memory foam. This adaptive material was designed to conform to your body's contours for custom comfort while minimizing motion transfer for a more restful experience. It's also a stunning 55% off!
Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set, Queen ($265, originally $331): This ethereally soft, breathable set is one of Oprah's favorite things, so you know it's good — and Yahoo editors adore it too (check out our review for more). Plus, save up to 25% sitewide.
Brooklinen Luxe Sateen Pillowcases, Standard, 2-Pack ($28, originally $59): Not only will these silky-smooth sleeves elevate the look of your bed, they'll feel divine against your skin. Save 40% on this gorgeous pair and more from the dreamy linen brand.

Nectar Classic Memory Foam Mattress, Queen ($649, originally $1,664): Here's another option that's on the more budget-friendly side, though with over 40,000 perfect ratings, you wouldn't know it. It's 60% off!
Alwyn Home Sleep Bathild 3 Mattress, Queen ($110, originally $250): Snagging a queen-size mattress for under $200 might sound too good to be true, but it's possible over at Wayfair. This 56%-off deal scores you a medium-firm model that adapts to your body's contours and keeps things cool and comfy for custom support. And that pillow layer is like having a plush mattress topper built right in!
The key to making cleaning feel like less of a chore is having the right gear — and if the crumbs on your floor keep accumulating because the thought of schlepping a heavy vacuum around is too much to bear, we've got you. Want to upgrade to a lightweight stick vac? We found options from brands like Shark and, yes, even Dyson on sale. Of course, you could also just let a robovac do the work; there's a Roomba that's down to a record-low price. No matter which type you prefer, you'll want to zap it up while you can save big.
Inse Cordless Stick Vacuum ($90, originally $270): We think it's pretty "Inse"-ane that such a sleek-looking vac could cost so little, but this bestseller proves you don't have to break the bank to upgrade your cleaning appliance. It runs for up to 45 minutes and weighs just over 8 pounds, making it a breeze to bring from room to room.
Dyson V12 Detect Slim Cordless Vacuum ($466, originally $650): Of course, if it's a Dyson stick vac you want, a Dyson stick vac you can get — and for a not-so-shabby $184 discount at Walmart. This is the brand's most lightweight model (just 5.2 pounds!), but it can run for up to an hour per charge. It ranked high on our list of the best Dyson cordless stick vacuums.
Dyson V7 Advanced Cordless Vacuum ($250, originally $400): This model's just slightly heavier but costs much less at under $300. The detangling Motorbar gets into thick carpet fibers to suck up deeply embedded dust and hair, and it runs for up to 40 minutes.
iRobot Roomba Robot Vacuum ($119, originally $250): Rather not push a vacuum around at all? Not only will this wildly popular robovac zap up dirt and dust while you relax on the couch, it'll return to its base when it's finished, too. This is the lowest price we've ever seen it on sale for.
Bissell Little Green Portable Carpet Cleaner ($88, originally $124): Attention, pet parents: Before you call your local carpet cleaning service, you'll want to check out this under-$100 Walmart bestseller, which has powerful suction to help eliminate stubborn stains (and their accompanying odors). We've often seen it on sale for $98, so grab it while it's $10 less.
DeWalt 20V Max Cordless Wet-Dry Vacuum ($93, originally $159): Portable? Check. Cordless? Check. Powerful? Check. This small yet mighty handheld meets all of our requirements and then some, thanks to its versatility (as in, sucking up both wet and dry messes), compact size (just 8 pounds) and 3-year warranty. This is as low as it's been in about a year.
Shark 2-in-1 Pet Pro Cordless Vacuum ($100, originally $150): If there's one type of Shark we're always happy to run into, it's one that's on sale — and this 33%-off deal really puts the bite on its price. At under 4 pounds, sucking up dust bunnies won't feel like a workout, and its swivel steering allows for easier maneuvering. This is as low as it's ever been.
Whether you're glad Punxsutawney Phil declared an extra six weeks of winter or you're counting down the days 'til spring, there are plenty of stylish savings to take advantage of this week. Why so many markdowns? Retailers are trying to clear their e-racks before the temps start rising for good, which translates to big savings on everything from cold weather essentials to those transitional wardrobe saviors. Here are some steals we have our eye on:
Gloria Vanderbilt Classic High Rise Amanda Tapered Jeans ($16, originally $48): If you're looking for denim that's designed to fit women of all shapes and sizes, the No. 1 bestselling Amanda jeans definitely fit the bill (pun intended). They're a classic high-rise pair that sits at your natural waist and will go with just about anything.
Colorfulkoala Women's Dreamlux Leggings ($26, originally $34): Not only do these boast thousands of 5-star reviews, senior deals writer Britt penned her own love letter to her pair: "If you're looking for leggings that are comparable to Lululemon, Colorfulkoala Dreamlux leggings are an affordable alternative (though they're supremely comfortable in their own right). You can stock up on several colors for less than half the price of many high-end brands, which I'd very much advise doing."
Patagonia Nano Puff Jacket ($119, originally $239): This might be less puffy than your other heavy-duty winter jacket, but it'll still keep you plenty warm — minus the Michelin man cosplay. Sizes are going quickly, so if you see one you like, strike fast.
Hoka Bondi 8 Running Shoes ($116, originally $165): These sock-like kicks have a super thick insole and weigh less than 9 ounces, making them a great option for anyone whose feet need ultra-plush cushioning. This model is one of Hoka's most popular, so stock is dwindling fast.
Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Rib Crewneck Lounge Top ($69, originally $99): If you've ever wanted to wear one of this brand's iconic throw blankets, this top is the next best thing. The hug-like crewneck is made for cozy nights in, but you'd be tempted to wear it out and about, too (and you'd be missing out if you don't).
Kate Spade Outlet On Purpose Large Swingpack Crossbody ($99, originally $329): You can't go wrong with a classic crossbody, and this one's just the right size: roomy enough to hold all of your on-the-go essentials without feeling too bulky. It's a timeless piece that'll go with just about anything you wear, and at 70% off? We're tempted to order one in every color.
Columbia Women's Benton Springs Full Zip ($30, originally $46): Made of soft maximum-thermal-retention (MTR) filament fleece, the zip-up works to keep you toasty even on the coolest days, even though it's also thin enough to serve as the perfect under-layer with a parka or puffer when the temps dip below zero.
Marycele Candle Warmer Lamp ($20, down from $46): Got kids and/or pets? This fire-free find gently melts candles via the heat from its bulb, meaning no ashy messes to clean up and zero flames. All you do is place your candle on the base beneath the bulb, turn on the light and ... that's it. As the candle warms up from the heat of the lamp, it'll release its scent — without any burnt undertones.
Trazon Snow Shovel ($48, down from $70): Its curved, ergonomically designed handle helps with posture to keep you from bending as much (thus minimizing strain) and the aluminum-edged scooper chips away at hard snow and ice with less effort on your part. Add it to your cart while it's over 30% off.
Olanly Bathroom Rug, 30" x 20" ($7, down from $15 with code XWJXN779): This ultra-thick, impossibly soft rug is made of highly absorbent and quick-drying chenille microfiber. Its plush texture will feel like heaven under your feet, and at over 50% off, it's within a dollar of as low as it's ever been.
Beats Solo 4 Headphones ($100, down from $200): These Solo 4s are 50% off, which means you can bask in all the signature Beats features for just $100.
Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Adapt Mattress Topper, Queen ($198, down from $419): This adaptive material was designed to conform to your body's contours for custom comfort (say that three times fast!), while minimizing motion transfer for a more restful experience. It's also a stunning 55% off!
Instant Pot Vortex Plus Air Fryer ($150, down from $220): At over 30% off, this markdown brings the price to about as low as it's been since the holidays.
Pocaland Ultra-Slim Bidet Attachment ($30, down from $120): Not only is it more thorough than wiping, it'll also make you feel like you're getting a spa treatment. This is as low as it's ever been.
Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station ($459, down from $799): This power station is an absolute steal right now at $340 off. With a massive 1,070 watt-hour capacity and multiple ports, it's perfect for powering everything from your camping gear to essential appliances during a power outage.
Lee Beauty Professional Callus Remover ($9, down from $15): We've yet to see it dip lower than this, so stock up!
Shark 2-in-1 Pet Pro Cordless Vacuum ($100, down from $150): Psst: I own (and love) this vac, and it's on sale for as low as it's ever been.
Apple iPad (10th Generation) ($279, down from $349): Rare sale alert: This is the best price we've seen for this model in months. As the unofficial Goldilocks of tech (less bulky than a laptop but larger than a smartphone), this tablet keeps you connected on the go or at home, and you can use it for everything from reading books to taking notes to watching videos.
Apple AirTags, 4-Pack ($70, down from $99): The deal on this four-pack brings each tag down to about $18 (they typically retail for about $25 to $30 a pop). Grab a few for your, er, forgetful family members!
iRobot Roomba Robot Vacuum ($130, down from $250): A top-selling Roomba that's nearly 50% off — its all-time lowest price? I'll take two! This gizmo will zap up all of that dust and debris on your floor while you relax on the sofa — nothing wrong with that. It runs for up to 120 minutes before heading back to its charging dock, and you can even schedule cleanings via the app.
Apple AirPods 4 ($100, down from $129): At just $100, this pair is down to the best price I've seen. Now, they don't include active noise cancellation like these do, but if it's a high-quality, comfortable listening experience you're after, these earbuds more than deliver.
Marycele Candle Warmer Lamp ($20, down from $46): Got kids and/or pets? This fire-free find gently melts candles via the heat from its bulb, meaning no ashy messes to clean up and zero flames. All you do is place your candle on the base beneath the bulb, turn on the light and ... that's it. As the candle warms up from the heat of the lamp, it'll release its scent — without any burnt undertones.
Olanly Bathroom Rug, 30" x 20" ($7, down from $15 with code XWJXN779): This ultra-thick, impossibly soft rug is made of highly absorbent and quick-drying chenille microfiber. Its plush texture will feel like heaven under your feet, and at over 50% off, it's within a dollar of as low as it's ever been.
Beats Solo 4 Headphones ($100, down from $200): These Solo 4s are 50% off, which means you can bask in all the signature Beats features for just $100.
Fab Totes Clothes Storage Bags, 6-Pack ($15, down from $42 with code 6UOKY4LZ): Whether you're stowing away shorts and sundresses in the winter or puffer coats and comforters in the summer, these roomy storage bags will keep everything organized from season to season. Each one has an impressive 60-liter capacity, along with see-through front panels so you won't forget what you stashed in them.
Lee Beauty Professional Callus Remover ($9, down from $15): We've yet to see it dip lower than this, so stock up!
Grace & Stella Under Eye Mask, 24-Pack ($15, down from $29): These No. 1 bestselling patches use plant-based collagen, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid to hydrate the delicate skin underneath your eyes.

New Leostream Platform 2025.1 Adds Significant Enhancements and Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Leostream Corporation today released a significant update to the world-leading Leostream® Remote Desktop Access Platform that adds more features for security, control, performance, and scale-up, plus native support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. Platform 2025.1 gives organizations more options for cloud integration, more control of high-performance display protocols, and other benefits that make Leostream the ideal tool for digital workstation management in multi-vendor, multi-cloud/any-cloud and hybrid environments. The new version offers improvements in cloud resource provisioning for better performance and expanded monitoring of virtual machine power states and remote sessions; large enterprises in particular will see immediate benefits provisioning in the cloud at scale. Key additions to Platform 2025 include: Complete control for RHEL 9 As organizations transition away from RHEL 8 (now in maintenance support phase until 2029) and standardize on RHEL 9, the updated Leostream Platform Connection Broker and Gateway can both now install and run on RHEL 9 and its derivatives, such as Rocky and Alma Linux. Customers no longer need to use Windows to run the management plane and can manage the underlying Linux operating system based on their standard corporate policies. Platform 2025.1 now leverages more components of Linux natively, instead of including those packages as part of the platform's installation process. This allows organizations to apply security patches and upgrades to those components, and the underlying OS, according to their security needs. The RHEL 9 Connection Broker also includes several new security enhancements based on feedback from customers. For example, the Connection Broker now leverages the version of PostgreSQL that is installed by the operating system, instead of including the PostgreSQL package as part of the Leostream RPM. This creates a "postgres" user on the machine, who is the superuser so the 'leo' user no longer requires superuser-level permissions. Because of its extensive changes, the updated Connection Broker requires a new installation rather than an in-app upgrade, but customers can easily migrate their existing Leostream configurations to the new Connection Broker, so the process is fast and simple. As RHEL 8 nears the end of its lifecycle, existing Leostream Platform deployments on RHEL 8 will be maintained with bug fixes for one year to support customers who need time to plan their upgrades. Future feature work will be performed on the RHEL 9 version only. The RHEL 9 version of the Connection Broker also removes legacy functionality and third-party integrations. Existing Leostream customers using the RHEL 8 version of the Connection Broker can contact Leostream or reference the Leostream Platform Release Notes to learn if they are impacted. Expanded Features for Amazon Environments In addition to better support for large-scale cloud provisioning for performance, flexibility, and efficiency, Platform 2025.1 improves the user experience while working with GPU-enabled instances in AWS, which can take longer to power cycle. Leostream has also added new ways to manage Amazon DCV, the sophisticated display protocol widely used in environments such as high-performance computing (HPC) and imaging/video applications. Platform 2025.1 gives administrators more control over how it establishes the user's DCV session and can manipulate the DCV permissions for each session. Expanded identity tracking and session recording A core feature of the Leostream Platform is enabling organizations to manage identities in their hosted desktop environment. In many deployments, such as large enterprises and educational institutions, generic usernames may be used to log into and access certain resources rather than unique identities—for example, 'student1' versus the student's IT-assigned Active Directory identity of individual username and password. In these scenarios for Amazon DCV connections, Platform 2025.1 can be configured to map the 'student1' user to the username and password that logged into Leostream. This provides an added level of audit tracking, and shows which specific user is accessing resource even with a generic username. For HTML5 sessions launched through the Leostream Gateway, Platform 2025.1 introduces a new preview feature to record users' remote sessions. These sessions can then be viewed by administrators to ensure appropriate resource usage and stored for auditing purposes. Existing Leostream customers can contact Leostream to enable this new functionality.
