Smarten Up Your Home's Heating and Cooling System With These Discounted Nest Thermostats
Nest is a name that has long been synonymous with the very best smart thermostats on the market, so when it comes time to install one in your own home its wares are a great place to start. You don't necessarily have to shop at the expensive end of the market, either, with some of its older and cheaper models well worth checking out. Woot currently has discounts on a couple of those models with prices starting at just $106 if you're quick. And we mean quick, because these prices will only last for the next few hours -- Woot says the deals end on March 1.
There are actually two different models for you to choose from here, with the Nest Thermostat E being the cheapest. At just $106 you also get a handy temperature sensor in the bundle so you can monitor the temperature somewhere other than where the thermostat is placed. The thermostat is programmable and has Home/Away Assist so it can automatically adjust the temperature when you leave or arrive home. And of course, all of the usual Nest remote control features are present, too.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
If you're shopping further up the price range you can pay $146 for the Nest Learning Thermostat (3rd-Gen), a model that was replaced by the 4th-gen version that is among our favorite smart thermostats. The differences between the pair aren't huge, but the older model doesn't support Matter connectivity nor does it include a temperature sensor. It's also offered in fewer colors -- this deal is for the stainless steel one, by the way. The newer model also makes temperature adjustments based on what's going outside and is just generally smarter overall.
All of that being said, if you're coming from an old-fashioned thermostat, or none at all, you can't go wrong with either of these smart home deals. Just make sure to order yours before it's too late. It's also worth noting that you'll get a 90-day Woot warranty with your new thermostat, too.
There are few cooler things in technology these days than a good smart home. Taking control of home temperatures, lighting and security are just some things that technology should be able to do for us in 2025, and smart thermostats are a great starting point. If you've always lusted after a Nest thermostat, this is your chance to pick one up at a great price.

As Xbox Game Prices Rise, a Game Pass Subscription Looks Better Than Ever
Microsoft's $80 games are no longer just a looming threat -- The Outer Worlds 2 is the first Xbox title to carry the hefty price tag, launching this October. The Outer Worlds 2's price reveal comes shortly after the release of Mario Kart World, which is Nintendo's first $80 game. These price hikes will hit gamers' wallets and likely make players more selective about trying games they're unsure of. Only time will tell whether Microsoft can move the same number of units at a higher price -- The Outer Worlds 2 is certainly no Grand Theft Auto 6 -- but the company's strategy may not rely on selling more copies at all. Xbox's first-party games are often included on Game Pass at launch, and The Outer Worlds 2 is no exception. If $80 games become the new normal for the Xbox brand, then the $10 per month subscription service suddenly looks much more attractive by comparison. With a slew of games from the Xbox Showcase arriving on Game Pass on day one, this could be a gambit to convert more gamers into subscribers. Microsoft/CNET Microsoft's Game Pass strategy As previously Xbox-exclusive games continue to go live across multiple platforms -- launching on PlayStation as well as PC -- Microsoft is deprioritizing its console hardware sales in favor of delivering premium gaming experiences. Still, the company has an ecosystem of users to maintain and it would still be a poor move to cede every advantage to Sony. Game Pass is Microsoft's great equalizer, because you can't access the subscription service on PlayStation consoles (and picking up PC subscribers is tapping into an entirely different part of the market). PlayStation gamers who want to play the latest Xbox first-party titles will have to cough up $80 -- a kind of exclusivity-lite for those outside Microsoft's ecosystem. Creating Game Pass subscribers provides Microsoft with a steady stream of gaming revenue, though, and Xbox and PC gamers who are put off by increasing AAA game prices are going to be funnelled toward the digital gaming service. This is a great deal for gamers, too -- one of the best value propositions on the market right now. The core Game Pass subscription costs $120 for 12 months (or $144 for PC Game Pass), which means you're still getting a good deal if you only enjoy two of the Xbox titles that launch on the platform each year. Microsoft's showcase just revealed nearly two dozen games that are coming to Game Pass over the next year and a half, so odds are good that you'll be able to find at least a small handful of $80 games you enjoy playing that you'd have never pulled the trigger on buying otherwise. In addition to the AAA games landing on Game Pass, the subscription service houses some of the most critically acclaimed indie darlings of all time, including Celeste, Dead Cells, Stardew Valley and more. These aren't your $80 juggernauts, but they pad out the service's impressive library (and inflict massive choice paralysis in the process). Game Pass was already one of the best deals in gaming. The rise of $80 games will simply make the service even more enticing.

WWDC 2025 Is Just Hours Away: How To Watch and See if iOS 26 Debuts
Apple's annual summer software event, WWDC, begins Monday at Apple Park HQ in Cupertino, California. CNET will be there to bring you all the news as it happens, including our first impressions of iOS 19/iOS 26. And you can watch the event online from anywhere in the world. Apple has already revealed the lineup for its developer conference, which is scheduled to take place from June 9 to June 13, with a mix of online and in-person sessions. The company has scheduled a special event for the first day, from which it will stream its keynote and Platforms State of the Union Address. This is the point in the year when Apple traditionally unveils major software updates, including the latest versions of iOS, iPadOS and WatchOS, for the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, respectively. It's exciting whether or not you're planning to invest in a new Apple product this year, as the new software will also roll out to most of the company's most recent devices, breathing new life into your iPhone for another year or so. As always, iOS 19 likely won't arrive until later in the year (probably after the annual September iPhone event), but WWDC will let us know what to expect, as well as potentially giving us insight into new Apple Intelligence tools. In the meantime, check out our iOS 19 wish list of features that CNET staff hope will be coming with this next big software update. We should also note that it might not even be called iOS 19 -- one rumor suggests Apple is changing its numbering system and this iteration will be called iOS 26. Better tune in to see if the rumor is true. CNET has editors and writers attending in person to report on live WWDC 2025 developments as they break. Now Playing: WWDC 25: Expect Big Changes to iOS, but Not Much on a Smarter Siri 05:17 How to watch WWDC The June 9 keynote is scheduled to take place at 10 a.m. PT and will detail "groundbreaking updates coming to Apple platforms," according to a press release. During the keynote, we expect to see the company announce its plans for iOS 19 and other software updates across iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV. The platforms state of the union will take place on the same day at 1 p.m. PT, offering "a deeper dive into the new tools MacOS, TVOS, VisionOS and WatchOS." You can watch both events online via the Apple TV app and the Apple YouTube channel. What is WWDC? WWDC is a conference for the developers who create the apps we use across our Apple devices, from our iPhones to our MacBooks, to learn about new tools and features they can take advantage of that year. However, the event also garners significant attention from beyond the developer community, since it tells us all we need to know about what to expect from the next generation of software updates that will come to our devices. The online event is free to attend for all developers, and anyone who is curious can tune into Apple's keynote. But those who want to attend the June 9 event at Apple Park in person need to apply online. In the days following, students and developers will attend sessions where they can engage more deeply with the changes to Apple's platforms, which will allow them to ensure their apps are fully compatible with and that they take advantage of those changes. "We're excited to mark another incredible year of WWDC with our global developer community," said Susan Prescott, Apple's vice president of worldwide developer relations. "We can't wait to share the latest tools and technologies that will empower developers and help them continue to innovate." What to expect at WWDC 2025 If rumors are to be believed, Apple's operating systems are set for a dramatic design overhaul this year. According to Bloomberg, iOS 19, iPadOS 19 and MacOS 16 will all feature new icons and menus, which will also change how our devices are controlled and navigated. The aim is reportedly to create a more cohesive style across platforms that will be reminiscent of VisionOS, the operating system designed for the company's mixed-reality headset. But that's not all -- Apple will likely use WWDC to outline the progress it's made in the field of AI. "I'm looking forward to seeing more details about Apple Intelligence and the new features that will become available," said Francisco Jeronimo, VP of devices at IDC. "This is critical for Apple, as Google Gemini and the Android vendors have taken significant steps forward with their AI offerings." Last year at WWDC 2024, Apple announced iOS 18 and Apple Intelligence -- as well as updates to Siri that have yet to materialize. It's highly unlikely we'll see Apple unveil any hardware at this event, although rumors are heating up about next-generation AirTags and a possible iPhone 17 Air. If these are true, they're more likely to come later in the year.

If you're an iPhone user and want to get the best smartwatch for you, then going with the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is your best bet. It's an absolute powerhouse of a device with an absurd number of features and great performance. It is a little pricey though, with things starting at $799.

Keep that in mind when buying a new one.
