One of the sleekest OLED gaming monitors around is 35 percent off
Cameron Faulkner
There are so many QD-OLED gaming monitors to choose from, depending on what size, resolution, refresh rate, and design you're happy to commit to. It's not easy to find a monitor that balances all those factors, but a big discount can shoot one toward the top of the list. Sony's InZone M10S is a 27-inch 1440p QD-OLED with a whopping 480Hz refresh rate, and it's 35 percent off right now at Amazon, selling for $714.99 (originally $1,099.99). For those who are pursuing a minimalist setup, there might not be a better choice.
The M10S features a super-thin design and a versatile stand that takes up very little desk space. The circular stand is only about the size of a CD, on which the monitor can swivel. It looks really nice. When I reviewed this monitor during my days at Polygon, I didn't think its performance justified its original price, as Asus had a similarly speedy 480Hz model that sold for $999.99 (and still costs that much). It's a different story now that the M10S is steeply discounted.
Some other great deals to check out
Summer is here, more or less. It's a time associated with outdoors and relaxing, but unfortunately it's also when wildfire smoke is at its worst, depending on your location. In case you don't have an air purifier in your home (and you think it may be something you'll need based on past experiences), Levoit's Core 300-P model is selling at Amazon with a rare 10 percent discount, costing $89.99. This model uses replaceable HEPA filters and runs quietly as it cuts down on dust and odors (you can opt for a special filter that filters pet allergens, too). This particular model can cover up to 1,074 square feet.
We covered this deal last week, but it bears repeating: Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses are 20 percent off in select styles, costing as low as $239 at Amazon, Meta, and Best Buy. They're a solid value, especially if you want to go all in with Meta AI features to help you identify landmarks, get live translations, and more. Alternatively, they're also one of the best options if you just want some stylish shades that can let you snap pics or video, and can pipe your music and phone calls near your ears. These prices will be in effect through June 16th.
Here are some deals for Switch 2 owners excited for the upgraded versions of Super Mario Party Jamboree and Kirby and the Forgotten Land and who don't own the original Switch versions. Woot is selling Super Mario Party Jamboree for $44.99 while Kirby is $39.99 (each previously sold for $59.99). This will put some money back in your pocket to use on each of the games' respective Switch 2 Edition upgrades that cost $19.99.

Why We Need Black Voices In Tech
Leon Burns III Photo Credit: Leon Burns III As a young Black executive in tech, Leon Burns III is making it his mission to bridge the gap between underserved communities and opportunities in STEM. In the past year, he has launched and funded 11 STEM initiatives for Black students, created a $100,000 scholarship for HBCU business and management information systems (MIS) majors at his alma mater -- historically Black Hampton University -- and provided laptops to graduating high school girls through nonprofit partnerships. Why is Burns, who is the president and CEO of Open Technology Group (OTG), doing all of this work? According to the McKinsey Institute for Economic Mobility, whereas Black people make up 14% of the workforce in the U.S., they only account for 8% of employees in tech jobs. And their representation is even smaller among executives. According to Burns, the 'gap stems from a lack of exposure, limited investment in tech programs in our communities, and minimal access to mentors who reflect us.' Burns himself was afforded exposure to tech from an early age, which was unique compared to many of his peers. That early start made a lasting impact on him, and, as he shared, 'I have always felt a responsibility to give back and open doors for others. He added, 'With tech evolving rapidly, especially in areas like AI, there is a real fear that we will be left behind if we do not act now. That sense of urgency is what fuels my commitment to helping others see that they, too, can thrive in this field.' Currently, about ten HBCUs offer formal business analytics programs. From Burns' perspective, 'This is a major gap, especially as analytics increasingly drive decisions in business and across society.' He further explained, 'The problem is that African Americans and other minorities are often left out of the equation when these algorithms and tools are being developed. Without diverse input, the data and the decisions that follow become dangerously skewed.' Diversity in AI getty Organizational behaviorist Karim Ginena confirms Burns' thoughts, noting that both women and people of color are underrepresented in AI output in terms of answers and images. In an interview with Knowledge at Wharton, he stated, "If these issues of bias are left unaddressed, they can perpetuate unfairness in society at a very high rate. We're not just talking about your prototypical kind of bias. We're talking at an exponential rate with these automated decision systems, which is why they can be very dangerous.' According to Burns, 'My scholarship supports 20 students who major in business and minor in MIS, with a focus on those interested in business analytics careers. The goal is to build interest, expand access. This is about sparking long-term change that ensures our voices and perspectives are part of the data shaping the future.' He added, 'At OTG, I have led initiatives to close the pay gap for women in tech, launched a company-wide certification program to help our team overcome societal barriers to advancement, and created a resume revamp program to support employees pursuing internal promotions and government opportunities.' As an HBCU graduate, it was never enough for Burns to simply 'be in the tech space.' It has always been just as important to 'create real pathways for others to grow and lead in it as well.' While a student at Hampton, he learned that people thrive when they feel 'seen, supported, and included in the culture.' That lesson has shaped his leadership. For Burns, 'inclusivity and transparency' are the principles on which he has built his role as CEO. Burns is also focused on the mental health of Black people in tech, which he thinks is often overlooked in the fast-paced corporate and tech environments. I asked him how he makes mental health a priority at OTG, given his commitment. He shared, 'We added a floating holiday to everyone's schedule for a dedicated mental health day, and once a month, I sponsor a company lunch where the team comes together to openly discuss our work environment and share ideas for improvement. We also made updates to our insurance policies to provide easier access to therapy.' He further explained the reason for his commitment: 'I am a huge advocate for therapy myself and began going after my father, Leon Burns Jr., who founded the company, passed in 2011.' Burns also credits his alma mater for his learning how to embrace conversations around vulnerability. He stated that Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in recent years have 'created space for students to understand how our unique challenges and insecurities can be exploited in professional environments, and why prioritizing wellness over discomfort or financial gain is an essential part of leadership.' Burns' vision is focused on transformation and access. For him, being a leader means creating environments where others can imagine more for their futures. He is focused on reshaping the tech space to be a place where equity is engineered rather than assumed. His ultimate goal: To make sure that Black students don't get left behind.

Apple Wallet gains new travel-friendly features in iOS 26
Apple Wallet is getting a bit more travel-friendly, Apple announced at WWDC 2025. The app will soon be able to hold a digital version of your passport, and boarding passes will gain new features that promise to make traveling a little bit easier. The new passport feature is 'not a replacement for your physical passport,' Apple said, but it can be used in apps that need to verify age and identity and at supported TSA checkpoints. Digital passports could help procrastinators who have yet to get their Real ID. Boarding passes have long been stored in the Wallet app, allowing for quick access from the lock screen. But with iOS 26, they're getting a host of new features. Boarding passes will now include links to terminal maps so it's easier to find your way to the gate or to baggage claim. Once at the claim, Wallet's new link to Find My should come in handy, allowing users to check the boarding pass to track the progress of their AirTagged luggage.

Waymo suspends car service in downtown Los Angeles after 5 vehicles set ablaze during ICE protests
Multiple Waymo cars were vandalized and set on fire in Los Angeles on Sunday, as anti-ICE protests escalated across the city. Aerial footage shows the electric, self-driving cars engulfed in flames with sparks shooting out from one vehicle. Another video shows the aftermath, with the charred metal remains of five Waymo vehicles splayed across a Los Angeles street. A Waymo car burns in the street as smoke billows during protests in Los Angeles, California, on June 8, 2025. David Pashaee/Middle East Images/AFP via Getty Images The charred remains of a Waymo vehicle litters the street following a night of violent protests in response to federal immigration operations in Los Angeles, on June 9, 2025. Frederic J. Brown/AFP via Getty Images Waymo has removed its vehicles from downtown Los Angeles and is suspending service in the area where the incidents occurred, out of an abundance of caution, a spokesperson for the ride-hailing service told CBS MoneyWatch. The company is still operating in other parts of Los Angeles. "We do not believe our vehicles were intentionally targeted, but rather happened to be present during the protests," the spokesperson said in an email. Waymo is owned by Google parent Alphabet. In addition to Los Angeles, the autonomous car company also offers it ride-hailing service in Phoenix and the San Francisco Bay, according to its website. Ricky Montanez, who covered the incident for CBS Los Angeles, said it took a while for the Los Angeles Police Department to arrive on the chaotic scene on Sunday. The LAPD and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment by CBS News. Protests in California's capital began Saturday after ICE raids in the Los Angeles Fashion District, and escalated on Sunday following President Trump's decision to deploy at least 300 U.S. National Guard troops to the city — a move California Gov. Gavin Newsom has called illegal. In addition to setting Waymo cars on fire, protestors also damaged and looted several businesses on Sunday including Jordan Studio 23, a sporting goods store in downtown L.A., as well as a T-Mobile and an Adidas store, according to CBS Los Angeles. LAPD has advised businesses in the area to report any damage to the police. "Please photograph all vandalism and damage prior to clean up," the department posted on its X account.
