Prime Day is a unique even, and it offers the biggest savings you'll find on Amazon all year—beating even Black Friday. Just a few days ago, the buzz was all about Amazon dropping the price of its Fire TV Soundbar Plus to $174 which was already a record low. Now, as Prime Day kicks off, the price has dropped even further to $149, a level never seen before. This is a Prime Deal so it's only available to Prime members. If you're not a member yet, you can join the free 30-day trial and receive this awesome deal. The Fire TV Soundbar Plus is now available for $149, down from its regular price of $249. That's a 40% savings on a premium soundbar that brings cinematic audio into your living room. See at Amazon Why the Fire TV Soundbar Plus is such a wanted gadget is that it's a 3.1 channel system with everything in one unit that has an internal subwoofer for deep, booming bass and a dedicated center channel for crystal clear dialogue. This translates into you having great sound and clarity in one simple install unit. The soundbar supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, two of the newest audio technologies that offer multidimensional sound. You can't get the Fire TV Soundbar Plus installed any easier: Just connect the included HDMI cable to your TV's HDMI eARC or ARC port, and you're ready to go. There's no need for complicated wiring or extra equipment. The audio stays perfectly in sync with your TV so you'll never miss a moment. The soundbar is compatible with smart TVs and TVs connected to streaming media players. With dedicated modes for movies, music, sports and night viewing, the Fire TV Soundbar Plus automatically optimizes the audio to suit your content. Movie mode delivers booming bass and crisp dialogue for an authentic theater experience. Music mode brings out rich tones and clarity in your favorite tracks. Sports mode receives every hooray and play-by-play commentary, and Night mode adjusts the sound so you can view late-night shows without disturbing the rest of your family. Bluetooth connectivity is the second significant advantage: Paring your phone or tablet and playing your favorite playlist is easy with the soundbar. This turns your living room into your own personal concert hall or party zone at the push of a button. The soundbar is also designed with convenience in mind so that you can control your TV and the soundbar with a single remote. This deal won't be around forever, so if you'd like to enjoy rich sound and crystal-clear dialogue for your films, now is the best time to make the upgrade. See at Amazon

12-Year-Old Claims Parent Is Being 'Unfair' for Shutting Off Devices Before Midnight Bedtime
A parent shared that they got into an argument with their 12-year-old daughter after setting a summer bedtime of midnight and shutting off all their child's devices at 11:30 p.m. The parent said the child had a "meltdown" and told them that all of their friends did not have bedtimes The parent said their wife asked them to compromise with the childA 12-year-old and her parent are not seeing eye to eye about bedtimes. One of the parents shared in a post on Reddit's popular "Am I The A------" forum that their 12-year-old daughter recently started complaining about having a bedtime set and having her devices shut off by 11:30 p.m. during her summer vacation. The parent noted that they had programmed her devices to 'start turning off at about 10:30 p.m,' with her iPhone shutting off first followed by her 'iPad, consoles and computer, then T.V.' They noted that all devices were usually shut down by 11:30 p.m., just in time for her bedtime at midnight. 'I think that's more than reasonable for a kid her age, especially during the summer,' the parent wrote. However, the child was not happy with this arrangement and recently had a 'meltdown,' telling her parent that they were 'mean' and weren't 'being fair,' especially since it was summer. They said their daughter started 'crying' and told them it was 'unfair because 'literally ALL' her friends stay up late' and don't have bedtimes. 'I tried to stay calm and just let her vent,' the parent said. 'I don't want her staying up late because it's nothing but trouble, especially online, and I don't want her sleeping away her summers by staying up all night.' The parent noted that their wife said that they should compromise with the child, which prompted them to turn to the internet for advice. Several people sided with the Redditor, noting that their rules were perfectly fine.

One person commented, 'A 12 year old cannot be trusted to have the discipline to regulate their own sleep hours. 12am is already an extremely generous bedtime.' While another chimed in saying that the parent has 'set a developmentally appropriate boundary and bedtime.' They added, 'Midnight is more than reasonable during the summer.' Some people even voiced their thoughts that the bedtime was actually too late. One person wrote, 'I thought you were going to say you make her go to bed at 7. No devices after 10:30 is more than reasonable for a 12 year old.' Another said, 'That's not early, that's a late bedtime, even for summer. [In my opinion] a reasonable bedtime for summer would be 10 p.m. with electronics taken at [9:30 p.m.]' Read the original article on People

LeBron James Leaves Fans Speechless With New Picture
LeBron James Leaves Fans Speechless With New Picture originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Lakers still need to figure out what to do to appease LeBron James. In the meantime, the 41-year-old superstar knows that he can't take a day off if he wants to keep playing at a high level for at least another year. Advertisement That's why he's been hitting the gym tirelessly during the offseason, and, judging by the latest pic he shared on his IG story, he's in the best shape he's ever been. Lakers fans flooded social media to react to this picture, gushing about his work ethic and unmatched durability: "He will still be a baller at 41, that's crazy," one fan wrote. "The Average male at the age of 25 doesn't even look like this.. Bro is 40," another one added. "This guy could play until he's 50," one fan continued. "2026 Championship build," another one added. Advertisement Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (23).Jerome Miron-Imagn Images Even so, while he can clearly hold his own and still be relevant, James knows he's inching closer to his basketball mortality. He even admitted that his wife, Savannah, doesn't want him to play for much longer: "Savannah wants me to (expletive) retire in the next year or so," James admitted to Kevin Love in a now-viral clip. James could technically run it back for another couple of years, as his younger son, Bryce Maximus, will be eligible to enter the NBA in next year's draft. But even if that's the case, he's made it loud and clear that he won't play until the wheels fall off, which is why he's eager to pursue another championship while he still can, even if it's not in Los Angeles.
