That T-Mobile freebie you've been waiting for has been delayed for 'unknown reasons'
This is definitely not the world's most valuable freebie, but it will certainly come in handy... at some point. A different source on Reddit (who also seems to know what he's talking about) claims "shipment delay issues" are behind the highly unusual last-minute change. In other words, T-Mo may have had trouble procuring enough water bottles to satisfy your presumably sky-high demand, so instead of potentially running out of inventory within minutes of launching the deal today, a move to "either August 5 or August 12" was decided.
That definitely sounds like a wise call, even though it makes this week's T-Mobile Tuesdays slate wholly unexciting... just like so many other past collections of similar goodies and offers.
It remains to be seen now if this unexpected delay will impact in any way the other big gift T-Mobile is planning to give all customers with no strings attached on August 26. Probably not, but it might be smart to not take anything for granted yet.

The Moto G Power (2025) is down to its best price at Amazon
Last week, Best Buy slashed $50 off the Moto G Power (2025). Now, Amazon is catching up, offering an identical discount for this budget phone. Normally priced around $300, this $50 price cut brings it just under the $250 mark — a great deal for a device with multi-day battery life and decent performance. $50 off (17%) Amazon has matched Best Buy's promo on the Moto G Power (2025) and now sells the device at its lowest price. Right now, you can save $50 on the smartphone in both available colors. Get yours and save while it lasts. Buy at Amazon $30 off (15%) Although Amazon has lowered the Moto G Power 5G (2024)'s original price, it's still a pretty solid bargain. The device currently goes for just under $170, which saves you 15% on its new MSRP (and $130 on its launch price). Buy at Amazon In case you're wondering, the same promo is available at the Motorola Store. Over there, however, you can score an additional discount by trading in an eligible device in good condition. Paying $250 for a Motorola phone with an LCD screen seems a bit much? We get it, and that's why we offer checking out last year's model as an alternative. Right now, Amazon sells the Moto G Power 5G (2024) for just under $170. That's a $130 drop from its ~$300 launch price, though the e-commerce giant has recently lowered the MSRP by about $ Moto G Power (2025) might not be the best budget phone, but it's more than adequate for most users. It features a fantastic design, a large 6.8-inch display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and good brightness (for the price). You shouldn't expect much in terms of performance, though. As you can see from the benchmark tests in our Moto G Power (2025) review, the model is actually a bit slower than the Galaxy A25. That said, it handles day-to-day tasks like browsing, streaming, and more without major hiccups. As far as camera performance goes, this Android phone delivers good-looking images for its price bracket. It features a 50MP main camera and an 8MP ultra-wide snapper on the rear, capturing images with good detail and slightly warm colors. The takeaway is clear: the Moto G Power (2025) isn't leading the budget pack, but it's still a solid choice that Motorola fans should have on their radar. And now, you can save $50 on it at Amazon.

Windows 11 tests new crosshair tool to help you track your mouse
Windows 11 is now testing a new accessibility feature that is intended to make it easier to keep track of your mouse. A mouse pointer crosshair feature is hidden within Windows 11 Build 27913. The feature uses crossing lines to show you where your cursor currently is on your screen. Previously, Microsoft did test the feature, but then the company just stopped including it with Windows 11 Build 26085, which was around a year and a half ago. Now, seemingly, the feature is back in testing for Windows laptops and PCs. X user @phantomofearth pointed out that the mouse pointer crosshair feature is currently hidden. If you want to use it at the moment, you would need an app such as ViVeTool, a tool that allows you to enable hidden or experimental features in the Windows operating system. Image Credit - @phantomofearth So this basically means that the feature is not being officially internally tested just yet. Meanwhile, the same functionality is already available via an app called PowerToys, and if you don't want to wait until the official Insider testing of Microsoft's take, you can use this app and get this feature. The feature is available for free with PowerToys, a collection of utilities for Windows 11 packaged together into a single app. The feature in PowerToys is called "Mouse Pointer Crosshairs", and you can fine-tune several aspects of it, including color, opacity, and thickness of the lines that point to your cursor. Meanwhile, it is currently not clear when Microsoft will start testing the feature officially and when it will be deemed good to be introduced with a future Windows 11 update. I personally think that it is long overdue, and should be pretty simple to have it there. Windows 11 does have a way to show you your mouse (briefly) if you lost it on your screen. From Settings, then Bluetooth and Devices, then Mouse, then Mouse pointer. There, you can set the Mouse Indicator to On, and when it's on, every time you press the Control key (ctrl), you'll have a circle around your cursor so you can find it more easily. MacOS has a similar functionality – you move your mouse (or your fingers on the trackpad) quickly in a shaking motion, and the mouse cursor becomes bigger on your display for you to locate it. But the difference here is that the crosshair feature appears it would be always on, and can be especially helpful if you have low vision or a large display. The lines stretch from edge to edge, which means you can easily locate your mouse pointer even in a cluttered background, and it can also help with pixel-perfect precision if you work with programs like CAD or design apps.
