Our favorite budget streaming stick drops to only $20 for Memorial Day
The popular Amazon Fire Stick HD is on sale for $20 as part of a Memorial Day promotion. This is a discount of 43 percent, as the usual price is $35.
This particular stick made our list of the best streaming devices, and we particularly recommend it for the budget-conscious. The Fire Stick HD supports 1080p streaming at 60 FPS and includes an Amazon remote that can control the power and volume on the actual TV. This is something the previous iteration, the Fire TV Stick Lite, couldn't do. The days of having to navigate multiple remotes are over.
This is a discount of 43 percent. $20 at Amazon
The remote also integrates with Alexa for voice control. Amazon's Fire TV interface supports all of the major streaming services, including Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu and all the rest. The Fire TV Stick HD ships with the updated interface that includes user profiles and a simpler UI.
On the downside, this is a streaming stick for HD content. It cannot stream stuff in 4K. Also, Amazon's interface is heavy on the ads, especially when compared to rival platforms. Still, the price is right. We enjoyed this streaming stick at the original cost, so we definitely recommend it at $20. Amazon's Fire TV Stick 4K Max is also on sale for $40, which is a discount of 33 percent.

Hisense's new M2 Pro projector is a 4K portable dream — and it can easily display a 200-inch picture
Hisense is launching a sleek new projector that's set to be the perfect display for those backyard summer kickbacks. Called the Hisense M2 Pro, this portable projector can beam a 4K image at up 200-inch of screen size with a recorded brightness of 1,300 ANSI lumens. That should do adequately in mitigating any ambient light that might prevail during sunset. 4K portable projectors don't come around too often and you'd hard-pressed to find one that's competitively priced. Luckily, the Hisense M2 Pro is just $1,299 and it's set to debut later this summer. The Hisense M2 Pro shines bright through a set of AI enhancements. These include upscaling and clarity algorithms that make content look much better (though not quite as good as one of the best OLED TVs). There's also an AI HDR Upscaler built into the projector that helps Dolby vision and other supported HDR features look phenomenal. But AI is just the half of it, as the M2 Pro can even correct itself using an Auto Keystone and Seamless Auto Focus tools. This makes setup a breeze, ensuring you can dive right into your favorite shows and movies plastered at a 200-inch screen size against the side of your house without a worry. Unlike other projectors by Hisense, such as the PX3-Pro or C2 Ultra, the M2 Pro won't be kitted with Google TV. Instead, it uses the VIDDA Smart TV platform, allowing it access to many of the best streaming services, including Netflix, Apple TV, and Disney Plus. While midday watching in the backyard might not be advisable without a solid ALR screen, this portable projector should still work quite well in darker environments. It's rated at 1,300 lumens, which is adequate enough once the sun goes down. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. And a 65-inch to 200-inch screen size is perfect if you don't always have the space for that big-screen experience. The M2 Pro Smart Mini Projector is going on sale later this summer and a pre-order page should be going up soon on Hisense's online storefront. It's a bit too early to tell, but it seemingly has all the trappings of one of the best projectors. We'll report back with more in-depth analysis and testing in a full review later this year.

Big Tech's indirect emissions jumped 150% in three years amid AI boom, UN report says
Indirect carbon emissions from the operations of four of the leading AI-focused tech companies, Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet and Meta, rose on average by 150% from 2020-2023, as they had to use more power for energy-demanding data centres, a United Nations report said on Thursday. The use of artificial intelligence is driving up global indirect emissions because of the vast amounts of energy required to power data centers, the report by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the U.N. agency for digital technologies, said. Indirect emissions include those generated by purchased electricity, steam, heating and cooling consumed by a company. Amazon's operational carbon emissions grew the most at 182% in 2023 compared to three years before, followed by Microsoft at 155%, Meta at 145% and Alphabet at 138%, according to the report. The ITU tracked the greenhouse gas emissions of 200 leading digital companies between 2020 and 2023. Meta, which owns Facebook and WhatsApp, pointed Reuters to its sustainability report that said it is working to reduce emissions, energy and water used to power its data centres. The other companies did not respond immediately to requests for comment. As investment in AI increases, carbon emissions from the top-emitting AI systems are predicted to reach up to 102.6 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2) per year, the report stated. The data centres that are needed for AI development could also put pressure on existing energy infrastructure. 'The rapid growth of artificial intelligence is driving a sharp rise in global electricity demand, with electricity use by data centres increasing four times faster than the overall rise in electricity consumption,' the report found.
