Gizmodo5 hours ago

When you use multiple screens to get through the workday as well as multiple peripherals like a wired mouse and keyboard, external drives, and a stable internet connection, you probably know the pain of juggling cables and adapters. It's not fun to have to unplug things over and over to put new things in their place, but
Head to Amazon to get the HP USB-C Dock G5 11-in-1 Adapter for $108, down from its usual price of $230. That's $122 and a discount of 53%.

This 11-in-1 dock is designed to make your desk setup feel a little more seamless and professional, since you don't have to do a lot of manual work to get everything arranged just the way you need it to be. With just one USB-C connection to your laptop, you can instantly hook up to multiple monitors, wired internet, and all the rest of your accessories. You can do all this while keeping your laptop charged. It's one of those behind-the-scenes tools that can seriously transform how productive and organized your workspace feels.
The Dock G5 supports dual 4K display output through its DisplayPort and HDMI ports, which is perfect if you rely on extra screen real estate for multitasking, creative work, or heavy spreadsheets. With multiple USB-A and USB-C ports, you'll have space to plug in your mouse, keyboard, hard drives, or even charge your phone. It also includes a headphone jack, Ethernet port for wired internet, and power delivery support up to 100 watts—so your laptop charges while you work.
Despite all its connectivity options, the dock remains surprisingly compact. It's light enough to toss in a work bag if you're commuting or moving between home and office. And because it's compatible with both HP and non-HP laptops, you're not limited by brand. As long as your device has a USB-C or Thunderbolt port, this dock is ready to work for you.
Don't waste money on something you don't really need when you could get this instead, especially since it's on sale for a pre-Prime Day discount. Specifically, it's a great and affordable accessory for just $108, and keep in mind that it's discounted to 53% off. That's a little over half off an addition to your desk that ensures you don't have to keep swapping things out. It can save you a lot of time if nothing else, since you don't have to worry about using one thing at a time.

How the massive cost of Bezos-Sánchez wedding compares to average US nuptials

As the world waits for the upcoming extravagant wedding in Venice of Amazon founder and billionaire Jeff Bezos and his fiancee, Lauren Sánchez, brides and grooms in the U.S. are figuring out ways to stretch their more modest wedding budgets amid tariff increases. The Bezos-Sánchez wedding has been estimated to cost between $23 million to $34 million, as previously reported by USA TODAY and according to Venice regional governor Luca Zaia. That's a far cry from the average U.S. wedding in 2024, which cost $33,000, down slightly from $35,000 for 2023, according to The Knot's Real Weddings 2025 Study. Sánchez also shared with Vogue that her pink engagement ring was worth $2.5 million. On average, an engagement ring in the U.S. cost $5,200 in 2024, according to The Knot's study. That's down from $5,500 in 2023, $5,800 in 2022 and $6,000 in 2021. Tariffs are an unwelcomed wedding guest As a florist, Allison Krivachek is doing her best to navigate tariff increases to imported flowers to keep costs for her brides and grooms down. As a bride-to-be, Krivachek is also trying to make choices to keep her July wedding budget from increasing. Brides, grooms and wedding vendors are in similar boats as prices for imported goods and tariffs add costs to an already expensive life event. Many aspects of the wedding day will be affected by tariffs, including alcohol, flowers, the wedding dress and goods such as centerpiece decorations if they are imported, according to The Knot, a wedding website. As much as 80% of cut flowers are imported from other countries and 90% of wedding gowns sold in the U.S. are imported, according to The Knot, which could hike wedding costs. Financial costs weigh heavy on minds of brides and grooms In a survey of 741 engaged brides and grooms users of The Knot, shared exclusively with USA TODAY, 73% of couples said keeping costs within their budget were the top concern, and 46% said economic factors such as inflation were a major concern. Thirty-four percent were concerned about the rising costs of goods that could affect weddings though price changes specifically because of tariffs were less of a concern with 15% of couples mentioning it. More than half of engaged couples (58%) said they hadn't seen tariffs affect their weddings yet, but 36% said they were making changes to their plans because of economic stress. Of those couples, 22% were adjusting their budgets while 68% said they were increasing their budgets. Rather than cutting back, many couples responded to the concerns of looming tariffs by taking the proactive steps like booking early and consulting pros. Vendors are good about helping couples figure out ways to make changes to suit their budget or plan for increases, said Lauren Kay, executive editor of The Knot. "They want to help you have the best wedding ever and they want to help you pull that off, whether that's avoiding a tariff or making a trade off so your budget isn't terribly impacted," Kay told USA TODAY. Couples do not seem to be panicking, Kay said, as they deal with another moment in wedding planning. "It's not so much of a concern about the tariffs, itself, but just thinking about how we are going to plan our weddings and stay within budget with all of the economic factors that we're facing today," she said. The average U.S. wedding in 2024 costs $33,000, down slightly from $35,000 for 2023, according to The Knot's Real Weddings 2025 Study. Tariff increases have started showing up Some vendors, like Krivachek, are already starting to see those increases. "When they first came out, it was like, oh my gosh, this is going to be really devastating. We were seeing anywhere from 10% to 25%, and when you're talking about a wedding in flowers, when it's $5,000 plus, that 10% to 25% ... really adds up quickly," said Krivachek, referring to the average floral budget for weddings. Some suppliers have also used the tariff news to unfairly raise prices as much as double, Krivachek said. A lot of florists and couples have been panicking on how to offset tariff increases and checking contract language, which may allow vendors to raise prices because of market fluctuations, she said. Krivachek said she and other wedding vendors learned during the COVID-19 pandemic that they had to include a clause in their contracts to allow for unexpected market pricing fluctuations. She added she has communicated with consumers about other options, rather than pass tariff-related prices to prospective brides and grooms. "They can either up their budget to keep everything the same or we can sub with local varieties, which I've been loving, and it's really been a positive thing for local growers," Krivachek said. She has told some brides, especially those with winter weddings, that if their heart is set on a particular type of flower that cannot be grown domestically in the winter, they will have to increase their budget. Florist makes adjustments to her wedding budget Krivachek also is getting married in July. Her floral budget is the largest portion of her budget at a hefty $36,000, partially because she feels she needs to make a statement as a florist. She has made some adjustments to keep her budget the same, including using a lot of landscaping plants and bushes. "I'm excited about that because I want to make that a trend where you use these flowers and bushes that you get to take home and plant and remember your wedding and have it be sustainable," she said. She has also reduced the number of imported cut flowers she is getting to stay within her budget. She has not seen any tariff-related increases on other parts of her wedding budget, she said. Uncomfortable Conversations: Being a bridesmaid is expensive. Can or should you say no? Bridal gowns also seeing tariff price increases A lot of the components to design and make a gown come from various countries, so between the materials and the execution of the product being made and transported, tariffs affect the price, said Nayri Kalayjian, owner of Lovella Bridal in Los Angeles. "Price increases are everywhere, so the wedding industry is no different, no matter where the gown is being manufactured," she said. Some designers are doing a straight price increase while others have added a percentage for the tariffs, she said. Kalayjian said she has seen some tariff surcharges anywhere from 10% to 35%. But typically bridal boutiques see price increases multiple times a year, regardless of tariffs, Kalayjian said. Kalayjian said she often tells brides if they see a dress they absolutely love, don't wait too long or it could be discontinued or increase in price. Bridal gowns are also taking longer to make because they are all custom-ordered, she said. The turnaround time is typically six to eight months. Kalayjian added, however, there are dresses at every price point for every budget, even with price increases. Brides can often get sample dresses at steep discounts, she said.

Rather than cutting back, many couples responded to the concerns of looming tariffs by taking the proactive steps like booking early and consulting pros. About 1 in 3 couples are purchasing items earlier to lock in pricing. Many are opting for U.S.-made or local products to offset import costs. 28% of couples are slightly reducing guest count by an average 25 people, or 12 couples, not wanting to sacrifice the guest experience (average 112 guests).

Let Shark's AI Ultra Robot Vacuum Take Over Your Floor Cleaning for Under $300

Cleaning is a hassle, but adding a robot vacuum to your home can overhaul how you tackle your chores. Letting a little robot friend help out can save you time and effort, and not all models cost a small fortune. We've found a great Amazon deal on the Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum right now, saving you 50% off its list price. It's been knocked down to $298 from its retail price of $599, which is a heck of a discount. Act quickly though, as a deal this good likely won't last long. The Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum includes voice command, a 60-day capacity, object detection, lidar precision home mapping and 360-degree sensors. It also has HEPA filtration, which captures and traps 99.97% of dust and allergens. It's suitable for carpets or hard floor surfaces. It also has a feature called "Matrix Clean Navigation," which enables the robot vacuum to make multiple passes in a grid so no spots are left behind. When the vacuum's battery runs low it returns to the dock for a recharge and then it'll pick up where it left off. You can also set schedules so that it cleans automatically when it's most convenient for you. Plus, you can initiate on-demand cleaning, including targeted deep cleaning of high-traffic areas whenever you need to and you can do it all with voice control via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. Because the included XL self-emptying base holds up to 60 days of dirt, dust and debris, you'll only need to empty it every two months on average, taking a little bit more off your plate.

Why this deal matters This robot vacuum has only gone lower than this during last July's Prime Day sale when it hit $295. At just $3 more, this is a fantastic deal. Since this robot vacuum doesn't go on sale often and it's currently only $3 more than the all-time low, it's definitely a deal worth taking advantage of.
