So what makes RecDot different? Let's start with the obvious: they listen, but not just for smart assistant prompts. With built-in functions to record meetings, transcribe them, even live translation, RecDot is like having a virtual notetaker in your ears — and one that never misses a beat.For the modern hybrid professional hopping between Zoom, Teams, or random Google Meets at ungodly hours, this thing makes sure that your tasks, due dates, decisions made and projects discussed don't get lost in the shuffle.And then there's the FlashRecord button — built right into the case. Without even pulling the buds out, you can instantly start recording the room. Handy for bigger meetings, or hybrid meetings where your sound should be played through external speakers, for the whole room to hear, but you still wish you could record it and have the AI summarize it.Of course, they also do the normal earbud stuff: snug in-ear fit, solid battery life — so yes, you can still rock them for your playlists, podcasts, and that one lo-fi mix that seems to help you focus.If you're going all in on AI-assisted work tools, Viaim has more toys to play with:So whether you're an AI-curious knowledge worker or just tired of writing your own meeting notes (and let's be honest — who isn't?), now's a good time to upgrade. The Prime Day deals won't last long, and tools like RecDot make it feel like your earbuds are actually working with you — not just sitting there blasting white noise.

That saves you $160 on your next music companion — pretty sweet for a speaker like this.I've been following discounts for this beast of a speaker for a while, and let me tell you — it's usually not Amazon throwing the biggest discounts. Typically, Walmart is the one launching the deepest discounts, with the most recent one slashing some $143 off its asking price. So yeah, the current sale stands out not just because it comes from Amazon, but also because it's one of the most attractive promos I've seen in it comes to music, I think portability doesn't matter as much as audio quality, and that's one of the reasons why I really like the JBL Boombox 3.

Get yours at Amazon and save $160 while it lasts.

Friday's Q2 earnings report for EchoStar could signal something big for Boost Mobile
Back in May, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr sent a letter to EchoStar Chairman Charlie Ergen about two matters. As part of T-Mobile 's acquisition of Sprint, the FCC demanded that another carrier be selected to replace Sprint as the fourth nationwide facilities-based network competitor. So a deal was made with the FCC. In exchange for approving the transaction, Dish Network would buy Boost Mobile and build out its own 5G standalone network. On the last day of 2023, EchoStar acquired Dish. Big earnings report is coming for EchoStar's Boost Mobile unit. | Image credit-Boost Mobile The FCC issued a series of goals that the Dish 5G network would have to meet at certain deadlines. Dish has two more tests to pass, both of which were pushed back one in 2026 and the other in 2028. In the aforementioned letter written by Carr, he threatened to reschedule the last two tests back to their original dates, which have since passed. If Carr does that, Dish would have to make a "voluntary contribution" to the U.S. Treasury in the amount of $2.2 billion. This is money that EchoStar does not have right now. The FCC ended up holding formal inquiries into the 5G build-out of EchoStar/Dish/Boost Mobile. The other issue that Carr is focusing on is the use of 2GHz spectrum by EchoStar and its units. Last week, following an open meeting held by the FCC, Carr said that on one hand the FCC is trying to open up spectrum and at the same time, "you have Dish effectively over the years sitting on a tremendous amount of spectrum that simply isn't loaded." During an appearance on CNBC last week, Carr said that the FCC is "Doing a lot of discussions with Dish and Charlie Ergen as well. He's got a lot of spectrum there that frankly has not been put to its highest and best use in terms of loading the spectrum. We've been in conversations with him … Those conversations are ongoing." The speculation is that Elon Musk's SpaceX wants the 2GHz airwaves because it is superior to the airwaves that SpaceX has for satellite to cellphone connectivity. Looking at EchoStar's 8-K filing, New Street Research analyst Philip Burnett says that it appears to him that the company is thinking about selling some of its spectrum to Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T. In a note to investors that Burnett wrote to investors on Wednesday, he said, "It's possible we will gain greater clarity about the company's intentions when they report [Q2] results on Friday." EchoStar's upcoming Q2 report is important because Boost Mobile reported net additions of 150,000 cellular customer during the first quarter this year. During the same quarter last year, the company had lost 81,000 net wireless subscribers. This could be the start of a turnaround. Since Boost Mobile was bought by Dish, it has seen its subscribers decline from 9.4 million to 7.2 million. That is a decline of 23.4%. But as we said, there are some signs that better days are coming. Besides the 150K net gain in cellular customer during Q1 2025, during Q4 2024 Boost Mobile added 90,000 net subscribers. So as we said, the second quarter numbers due out this Friday are very important to Boost Mobile. Investors have been worried about a possible bankruptcy filing by EchoStar so when the contents of the company's 8-K filing to the SEC revealed that the company made the July 1st interest payment, buyers starting jumping into Echostar's shares with both feet. On Wednesday EchoStar's shares soared $3.31 or 11.2%, closing st $32.82. Earlier in the day, the shares hit a 52-week high at $34.20.

AI Mode turns Google Search into a real-time learning assistant
Google is expanding what AI Mode in Search can do, just in time for the back-to-school season. With several new features now live or coming soon, students, educators, and curious minds have more ways to process, stay organized, and learn in real time. Here's a quick rundown of what's new: You will now be able to ask questions about images and PDFs directly from desktop browsers. This builds on the existing mobile feature that lets users ask AI Mode about images. Additionally, desktop users will soon be able to upload PDF files and get contextual answers, which could be helpful for analyzing class materials, like lecture slides or reading assignments. In addition to looking at what's in your file. AI Mode will cross-reference the content with information from across the web, providing citations and links to dig deeper. Google also plans to expand this feature to support additional formats, including Google Drive files. AI Mode will facilitate asking questions about images and PDFs directly from the browser. | Video credit — Google Canvas will allow users to build dynamic plans and organize research over time. If you're working on a big test or project, you can start a Canvas session with AI Mode and gradually refine it. Canvas saves your inputs and lets you return to your plan whenever you want. In upcoming updates, Canvas will also support file uploads, which means you'll be able to feed in notes, syllabi, or even images to better customize your plans. Google is also bringing its Search Live feature to AI Mode. It uses your phone's camera to let you have real-time conversations with Search, powered by Project Astra. Just point your camera at an object or situation, and Search Live can talk you through it. Soon, Chrome users will begin to see a new option called "Ask Google about this page" in the address bar. This integrates Lens with AI Mode to analyze what's on your screen, whether it's a diagram in a PDF or a chart on a website. It can break down visual elements and offer helpful summaries or allow follow-up questions right from the browser. Lens in Google Chrome desktop. | Image credit — Google These changes show how search is evolving from typing keywords into something much more interactive. Instead of just pointing to websites, AI Mode helps unpack the content you're exploring. While these new features are currently limited to U.S. users aged 18 and over in Labs, they hint at where the company is headed. It also positions Google to compete more directly with other popular AI tools (such as ChatGPT and Perplexity), which already serve as standalone AI tutoring tools. Whether or not this evolution of AI Mode matches what students and teachers actually need in the long term remains to be seen, but the intent is clearly to simplify the journey to make it as easy as possible to use the tools available.
