I like these bundle offers, because I usually buy single packs and am always left wanting more, not to mention I don't usually take advantage of discounted prices. This is quite the offer at just $51.99 for a 4-pack, and considering these are among our favorite trackers.
There is one thing to keep in mind, before we move forward, though. As awesome as the Samsung SmartTag 2 and this deal are, you have to keep in mind these are exclusive to Samsung smartphone and tablet users. There is a way to use the Samsung SmartTag 2 with non-Samsung phones, but it has its sacrifices, is not an official method, and requires a bit of tinkering to set up. To summarize, we wouldn't recommend it unless you have a Samsung phone.
If you can get past those downsides, Samsung SmartTag 2 is a great little Bluetooth tracker. We still think it's the best option for Samsung users. The premise is simple: once you set it up, you can attach it to your valuables and use the SmartThings app to see its live location.

This is possible thanks to the SmartThings Find tracking network, which uses the slew of Samsung devices out there to track other items. In essence, the SmartThings network will pinpoint the tracker's location whenever a Samsung device comes within close proximity to it. And it has a Bluetooth range of 120 meters, which is quite outstanding.
It uses a standard CR2032 coin battery, so it's not rechargeable. That said, battery anxiety should not be a problem, as the device should last 500 days on a single battery, or up to 700 days with Battery Saver Mode enabled.
It also helps that we really like the Samsung SmartTag 2 design. It looks really different, and the built-in hook is quite convenient. It also has an IP67 rating.
Rita El Khoury / Android Authority
As if all of that isn't enough, Sammy decided to add a nice little feature. It has a physical button, which you can use to stop it from ringing, locate your device, or, get this, control your smart home devices.
Pretty neat, right? Again, this is still our favorite Bluetooth tracker for Samsung users, so if you are part of the Samsung club and keep losing your things, catch this deal before it goes away!

Analysts reboot Oracle stock price targets after earnings

Larry Ellison was having a good day. The chairman, co-founder and chief technology officer of Oracle (ORCL) spoke during the software company's fourth-quarter earnings call. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter "Oracle's future is bright in this new era of cloud computing," Ellison told analysts. "Oracle will be the number one cloud database company. Oracle will be the number one cloud applications company. And Oracle will be the number one builder and operator of cloud infrastructure data centers." Oracle beat Wall Street's earnings expectations and boosted its revenue guidance, with Chief Executive Safra Katz declaring that the tech giant "is well on its way to being not only the world's largest cloud application company, but also one of the world's largest cloud infrastructure companies." "We will build and operate more cloud infrastructure data centers than all of our cloud infrastructure competitors combined," Ellison said. "Most of the world's most valuable data is stored in an Oracle database," he added. "All of those databases are moving to the cloud. Oracle's cloud, Microsoft's (MSFT) Azure cloud, Amazon's cloud or Google's (GOOGL) cloud."The results were also good news for Ellison's bank account. His net worth shot up by $26 billion to $243 billion by midday on June 12, enjoying easily the largest daily bump of any billionaire, according to Forbes data. Ellison vaulted past Amazon (AMZN) Chairman Jeff Bezos, whose net worth is $227 billion and Meta Platforms (META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg, weighing in at $239 billion, for the second spot on Forbes' real-time billionaires ranking. More Tech Stocks: Palantir gets great news from the PentagonAnalyst has blunt words on Trump's iPhone tariff plansOpenAI teams up with legendary Apple exec The only one ahead of Ellison was Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk, whose net worth totals $411 billion. Oracle's earnings jumped 9% from a year eearlier, while revenue for the quarter grew 11%, driven by cloud services. Catz said Oracle expected its total cloud growth rate - applications plus infrastructure - to increase to more than 40% in fiscal 2026 from 24% in fiscal 2025. Its cloud infrastructure growth rate is expected to reach 50% in fiscal 2025 and more than 70% in fiscal 2026. And remaining performance obligations, which measures backlogged work, is likely to more than double in fiscal 2026. Oracle stock surged on the earnings beat, with shares leaping 13% at last check to just under $200. The stock is up about 5% in 2025 and 42.5% from a year ago. "The earnings were strong," said TheStreet Pro's Stephen Guilfoyle. "The sales growth was strong. The guidance was outstanding." Guilfoyle, whose career dates back to the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in the 1980s, said in his recent column that the only thing he didn't like was the quality of the company's balance sheet. Total assets amount to $168.361 billion, he said, of which 39.7% are in goodwill and other intangibles. "That's a little bit elevated for my comfort," he said. "Total liabilities less equity comes to $147.392 billion including a rather daunting looking $85.297 billion in long-term debt. Obviously, this is not one of the better looking 'big tech' balance sheets that we have analyzed." "That's going to take time to get squared away, especially if the firm feels pressured to maintain elevated levels of capital expenditures," Guilfoyle added, putting his price target at "a rough $204." Related: Tesla analyst makes surprise move on stock ahead of Robotaxi debut Piper Sandler saw a blast from the past in the results, according to The Fly. The investment firm, which raised its price target on Oracle to $190 from $130 and affirmed a neutral rating on the shares, said the San Francisco company "has entered an entirely new wave of enterprise popularity that it has not seen since the internet era in the late '90s." Piper said it was raising its estimates given increasing visibility into Oracle's growth potential. Increasing capital intensity risks that could widen the net-debt position and pressure margins in the short run keep the firm on the sidelines, assuming these risks elevate volatility and hinder expansion of the stock multiple, the report says. Bank of America raised its price target on Oracle stock to $220 from $156 and also maintained a neutral rating on the shares. Fourth-quarter cloud subscription growth of 27% was driven by software as a service growing 14% year-over-year in constant currency, said B o fA, which says it is encouraged by accelerating growth that is now in line with other application peers at the mid-teens. The company's "impressive" guidance for remaining performance obligations backs sustained momentum, but meaningful investment drives the outlook for capital spending higher, the analyst says. The pipeline for Oracle cloud infrastructure and artificial-intelligence deals is clearly trending well, B of A said. What is unclear is the trajectory of profitability, with ramping capital spending likely to weigh on gross margin, the firm added.

Soft Serve at Home? This $350 Kitchen Gadget Makes It Possible

Making soft serve at home hasn't, historically, worked out so well. Most countertop appliances are designed for hard ice cream. If you go Luddite and leave a carton of ice cream out to thaw just so, it easily ends up somewhere between a milkshake and soup. So, when appliance maker Ninja released the Ninja Swirl by CREAMi Soft Serve & Ice Cream Machine ($350) earlier this year, I was—cautiously—hopeful. Would the quality of the soft serve make it worth laying out the money and the counter space? First, you mix the base—largely milk, cream and sugar—in the provided pint container. (The Swirl comes with recipes.) Then you freeze it for 24 hours. The next day, you load the container into the machine, choose the soft-serve setting, and wait 4-5 minutes as a metal shaft with a toothy blade moves through the frozen base. Next, move the pint container to the Swirl's top left corner and ready a cone or cup. Hold the lever down for about 10 seconds, and a piston pushes the ice cream through a star-shaped silicone tip similar to the kind that pipes frosting onto a cake. The ribbon of soft serve meanders down slowly, tantalizingly. The ice cream will definitely be soft, but it can also be icy. My freezer was already set to zero degrees, but I learned that carving out a spot in the very back chilled the base faster, reduced the iciness and delivered a mouthfeel closer to commercial soft serve. I also found that the base works better with eggs, and experts back me up on this. 'I add eggs when I make soft serve at home,' said Kimberly Bukowski, a dairy foods extension specialist at Cornell University and former ice-cream-shop owner. 'Eggs are a natural emulsifier, so you can use yolks without necessarily having to use any stabilizers.' Adding a couple yolks did make for a richer consistency. You have to cook them first—for food safety and thickening—in a saucepan, to about 170 degrees. Ninja includes egg-based frozen-custard recipes in the book that comes with the Swirl. But this bit of fuss lengthened an already 24-hour-long endeavor. The easier route: Use store-bought hard ice cream as your base. Commercial ice creams have stabilizers to ward off iciness and come in flavors and colors tricky to replicate in your kitchen. (I happen to love an artificially green mint chip.) The machine is loud enough to make your kitchen sound like a wood shop. And it's big, with a 12-by-10-inch footprint. But it's also a twofer, since it churns scoopable ice cream too. Most important, while the ribbon it produces isn't quite as fat as what you get at Mister Softee, it comes close. Turns out, it is pretty exciting to make soft serve at home.

Google won't be showing the Pixel 10 to Superfans this month, after all

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Google invited Pixel Superfans to apply for a chance to experience 'pre-release Pixel devices' at a June 27 event. The company is now telling them that due to 'unforeseen circumstances' it's planning a September 4 event. It's unclear if release plans have been affected any, but the last leak we've seen points to a mid-August launch. Google's Pixel 10 smartphones are on their way, and other than feeling a wee bit nervous about Pixel batteries in general these days, we're otherwise hugely excited for the upcoming launch. Beyond getting to meet Google's new 'Pixelsnap' accessories, we're also expecting an important shift in the silicon powering the phone, as Google moves to TSMC's advanced fabrication for the Tensor G5 chip. At this point, we're really just waiting to get our hands on the actual hardware. Late last month we heard about a lucky group that was getting early access to 'pre-release Pixel devices,' strongly hinting at the presence of the Pixel 10. Google sent these invites out to members of its Pixel Superfans group, and told them that the chosen few would be able to attend a hands-on event in London scheduled for June 27. At the time, we wondered if that might indicate Google was thinking about sliding its launch plans up a little earlier in the year — maybe to some point in July, a few weeks ahead of last year's August 13 Pixel 9 event. It didn't take long for a better theory to land, and within just a few days we were hearing about leaks that once again identified August as Google's launch target — first returning to that August 13 date, before later suggesting August 20, instead. Google has still not publicly confirmed its timetable for the Pixel 10 launch, but today the company has been reaching back out to those Pixel Superfans with some bad news. Here's what Google's been emailing them: While we're no longer able to extend invitations to the Pixel Penthouse event due to unforeseen circumstances, we're excited to offer you an exclusive alternative prize: an early invitation to our next event, Pixel Superfans Insider Event, on September 4th. It's unclear what manner of 'unforeseen circumstances' might be involved here — for all we know it could be something as innocuous as a scheduling issue with the venue. What we don't want to do is jump to any speculation about Pixel 10 delays absent some real evidence in that direction. And for the moment, this is all just circumstantial. Still, we can't help but wonder what might actually be going on behind the scenes — even if there's a fair chance we'll never really know. For the moment, anyway, our sights are still squarely locked on August for our first chance to meet the Pixel 10 family. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .
