No way! Amazon just slashed this 65-inch TCL Mini-LED TV by $700
Right now, the 65-inch TCL QM7K Mini-LED TV is $797 on Amazon. That's almost 50% slashed on a brand new TV, saving you $700 well after Prime Day's end.
The TCL QM7K is a budget-friendly Mini-LED TV that is perfect for folks who want to upgrade to a truly impressive TV without breaking the bank. It features built-in Google TV with Chromecast, a slate of sought-after gaming features (such as HDMI 2.1 and 4K gaming up to 144Hz), and a bright, colorful picture worthy of movie night. In our TCL QM7K QD-Mini LED TV review we said the Editor's Choice TV is an affordable TV you can count on.
TCL's QM7K Mini-LED TV launched in the center of its lineup, seated right between its QM8K and QM6K. That makes it a stellar affordable offering with tons of features, primarily around gaming.
It's telling, as even in our TCL QM7K review, we noted this model in particular as "an affordable Mini-LED TV that'll only get cheaper." One of its highlights in our detailed analysis was impressive HDR brightness in tandem with great color control in both SDR and HDR.
Of course, it's also situated among the best gaming TVs due to its incredible VRR capabilities. It might not have the 165Hz refresh rate that its Hisense rival uses, but it can hit higher frequencies in lower resolutions.
Plus, it has one serious sound system. It was designed by Bang and Olufsen, makers of some of the best soundbars and speakers. The TCL QM7K is built on a 2.1.1-channel system with Dolby Atmos support, making it quite a competitive display in a market that's filled with middling audio.
If the QM7K isn't quite what you're looking for, you can always check out our live Prime Day TV deals to find the slew of other options still available right now.

The Razer Kishi Ultra controller drops to a new record low of $95
A mobile gaming controller into which you can slot your phone — or even a tablet — is a great option to play your favorite titles on the go without the need for a dedicated console or handheld PC. Razer makes one of the better-known premium options in the form of the Kishi Ultra, and now the controller is back on sale. This time around, it has dropped to $95. This is a new record-low price for the peripheral, which was available for $100 during Prime Day last month . As it stands, you can score the Razer Kishi Ultra for 37 percent off its regular price of $150. Razer's premium mobile gaming controller has dropped to its lowest price to date. $95 at Woot The Razer Kishi Ultra is compatible with a wide range of devices that have USB-C ports, including Android phones, more recent iPhones and even eight-inch tablets like the iPad Mini. It works with some foldable phones too. There's also the option to plug it into your PC or laptop via USB-C cable. Being a Razer peripheral, of course the Kishi Ultra has RGB lighting. Other features include advanced haptic feedback, mechanical ABXY face buttons and D-pad, Hall effect triggers, programmable bumpers and customization through the Razer Nexus app. It's a little disappointing that Razer didn't offer Hall effect thumbsticks as well. However the Kishi Ultra's thumbsticks do have anti-friction rings, which should hopefully help with durability. Follow @EngadgetDeals on X for the latest tech deals and buying advice .

What is the most private way of verifying your age?
Since the Online Safety Act came into action in the UK on July 25, users have had to verify their age to access content that has been deemed adult. In addition to adult content requiring age verification, even social media platforms are requiring users to verify that they're over 18 to access some content. This has led to many UK citizens seeking out the best VPNs to circumvent the age verification checks. So, how does age verification work and which method is the least invasive? Here we explore all the ways sites will ask you to verify your age, and which require you to give up the least personal data. NordVPN: our top-rated VPN overallFrom our testing, we consider NordVPN to be the best VPN for most people. This is down to its rock-solid security and privacy, excellent speeds and great unblocking performance. Prices start from £2.31 / $2.91 per month for a two-year subscription, which includes an exclusive four months free for Tom's Guide readers. Plus, you can get an Amazon gift card worth up to £50 / $50 if you sign up for NordVPN's Plus or Complete memberships. A 30-day money-back guarantee applies to all subscriptions. The Online Safety Act states that age verification methods must be "technically accurate, robust, reliable and fair." This has led to a number of different methods being used by sites to verify users' ages. Here we take a look at each of these methods, how exactly they work and any potential issues they pose to data safety. This method of age verification is probably the least invasive, but overall may be less accurate. This method sees you input your phone number to the age verification service, which then runs a check with your mobile network operator to see whether your mobile number has age filters applied to it. If it doesn't, it verifies you as over 18. There are problems with this approach, however, given that someone could remove age restrictions on a phone number then give that SIM card to someone else. Additionally, a user may not have bothered to remove age restrictions on their own number, or even know that they have them. This particular approach involves you inputting your email address to an age verification service, which analyses other online services where you have used this email. For example, if you use the same email address with your utility company and your bank, it will then verify your age. This approach has its limitations, as it can't give a definitive age, but instead just a rough estimation. It also does not allow users to use disposable email addresses, such as Apple's Hide My Email service. This means that if you are using these services to minimize the risk of your personal information getting leaked in a data breach, this may impact the age verification's service ability to estimate your age. If your age cannot be verified in this way, you may have to verify your age using methods that involve you providing more personal information. This is one of the most common types of age verification, but it has been one of the most controversial due to peoples reluctance to provide scans of their face to adult sites. This method requires users to scan their face via a photo or video. If you look old enough, you're verified. If you don't, you can verify your age using photo ID, but this has raised some concerns regarding personal data safety. As well as these concerns around users' likenesses being stored, shared or even used to train AI models, this method is not foolproof. Younger-looking users may be deemed under 18, and the AI scan may not work at all for those with facial differences like scars or birthmarks. Not only this, but it's far from effective, with some users bypassing this method with Death Stranding's photo mode. To verify age with this method, users must allow the age verification service to securely access their bank details to prove that they are over 18. This poses some security issues if the card details are stored by the age verification service. This sensitive information is incredibly attractive to hackers, meaning these verification services may be the target for cyber attacks. If these details were leaked in a cyber attack, it could have serious ramifications for anyone who had their banking information stolen, for example identity theft or fraud. Another, similar method is checking credit cards to ensure that they're valid. As you cannot get a credit card until you're 18, a valid check is seen as proof. This method does require that users share their payment details with a potentially-unknown payment processor, however. This poses similar issues to providing bank details to verify your age, with the potential impact of data breaches incredibly high. This duo of age verification techniques revolve around checking various forms of identification to verify your age. Digital identity services use digital identity wallets that store the same typical information that you would expect to see on traditional ID. Photo-ID matching requires you to upload an image of a document that shows your face and age, such as a passport or a driving licence, which is then checked against a photo of you. This has raised huge concerns regarding personal data safety. While some age verification services swiftly delete your personal data – for example, Spotify's age verification partner, Yoti, deletes user data after it's been used to verify their age – the potential data safety risks if age verification services don't do this are huge. If there was a hack of an age verification service that stored pictures of ID cards, or scans of digital identity cards, this could have a devastating impact for all those who had their information stolen. The fallout of such a hack could include everything from increased, personalized phishing campaigns, to identity theft and even fraud. Many UK users are refusing to verify their age, and are using VPNs to circumvent the OSA. ProtonVPN alone has seen sign-ups spike by 1,400% since the act's introduction. But why? Ultimately, it's a matter of privacy and security. In one form or another, verifying your age requires handing over identifiable and personal information to operators who may be based in third countries or have poor privacy policies, or both. Should there be a data breach, such as the ones that occurred with the Tea app recently which saw pictures of users' government ID cards and faces leaked, this information would then be available for sale. These services would be an absolute treasure trove for hackers, due to the amount and depth of the information stored. There are also concerns about how the information you provide to verify your age will be stored and shared, leading to some believing that their online browsing habits will be linked with their ID or likeness. In addition to this, there is strong resistance to the idea that your internet access will be restricted unless your age verified, causing some to see the use of VPNs as an act of justified civil disobedience. We test and review VPN services in the context of legal recreational uses. For example: 1. Accessing a service from another country (subject to the terms and conditions of that service). 2. Protecting your online security and strengthening your online privacy when abroad. We do not support or condone the illegal or malicious use of VPN services.

Amazon knocks up to 50% off Beats audio devices — here's 9 deals I'd shop for back to school
It's officially August — which means back to school season is quickly approaching. If you're heading back to campus, you could probably use an audio device refresh. And fortunately, Beats is having an epic sale on Amazon as we speak. Whether you're looking to upgrade to a new pair of earbuds for the gym or you're in search of a speaker when hanging out in your dorm room, Beats has you covered with deals starting at just $39. And if you're in the market for a new pair of noise-cancelling headphones for those study sessions, you can't go wrong with the Beats Studio Pro, which are now 49% off . Keep scrolling to check out more of my favorite Beats audio deals that I recommend shopping for back to school season. For more savings, see our Amazon promo codes coverage. While they aren't technically true wireless, on account of the wire that connects the buds, the Flex are a great pair of fitness earbuds. They're super comfortable thanks to their lightweight, and this $30 saving is a solid discount. Amazon has slashed the price of the Beats Studio Buds. You get active noise canceling, sweat resistance and up to eight hours of listening time, or 24 hours when combined with the pocket-sized charging case. Our Beats Studio Buds review called these "a small but feature-stuffed set of wireless earbuds." The Beats Studio Buds are a wonderful little pair of buds, with some big improvements over the last model. 9 hours of battery life is exemplary, extended to 36 hours with the charging case, and they're some of the most comfortable wireless in-ears around. In our Beats Studio Buds Plus review, we gave it 4 stars thanks to their great design and sound. This deal brings a long-awaited discount to the Beats Pill. We had a Beats Pill hands-on, and found a speaker that has (as you might expect) some massive bass and a slick look. Battery life is respectable at 24 hours, and its waterproofing makes it perfect for pool parties and outdoor use. The Beats Solo 4 might not feature noise canceling, but they make up for it by sounding pretty good. They're comfortable as well thanks to Beats new foam, and they fold up super small so that they can fit into any bag. There's also loads of battery life — 50 hours, to be exact. We've never seen them cheaper than this, so grab them while you can. With excellent Beats sound quality, active noise cancellation, and a comfortable fit designed for sports and exercise, these headphones are a real steal at this price. The Beats Fit Pro also has six hours of listening time and up to 24 hours with the included charging case. In our Beats Fit Pro review, we said these buds are a no-brainer and better for workouts than the AirPods Pro. The Powerbeats Pro are a solid pair of Apple wireless fitness earbuds. They have a seamless setup, just like AirPods, and good battery life. The earbuds themselves can play music for 9 hours, and the charging case adds an additional 18 hours. If you have an iPhone and need earbuds for your workout, these are a great pick — not that they aren't great for Android, too. The Beats Studio Pro are specifically designed to bring back that thumping bass Beats is known for. They offer improved active noise cancelation and boosted battery life (up to 40 hours with ANC turned off). There's also Spatial Audio support and Beats' signature strong brand look. However, our Beats Studio Pro review found the clamping force high, which may affect comfort levels for some wearers. Beats' new workout earbuds are an all-around upgrade from the previous version. In our Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 review, we loved their stylish design, strong bassy sound and stable fit. You also get 10 hours of listening time on a charge, or up to 45 hours with the included charging case. They also have some unique features on board, like handy physical button controls and a heart rate monitor. We rank them as the best wireless earbuds for fitness on the market.
