Case in point: This 7-Seat Wicker Conversation Set Sectional from Best Choice Products, currently discounted nearly 40% off.

See? I rest my case.
Hundreds of Amazon shoppers have given the conversation set a five-star review, resulting in more than 3,000 star ratings. Many praise it for its durability, easy setup and quality, which is exceptionally high, considering its low price.
'Different brands use cheap cushion fabric,' wrote one reviewer. 'This company does not. The cushions are top quality.'

Blue Origin preps for next crewed rocket launch: What time and where to see liftoff in Texas
Blue Origin is preparing to send its next group of passengers on a brief spaceflight high above Earth. Reaching the very edge of space, the six people on board the company's New Shepard spacecraft will be treated to some stellar views and a few minutes of weightlessness after getting off the ground in West Texas. When they land, the space tourists will join an exclusive club of more than 60 others who have embarked on a similar expensive venture across 12 previous human spaceflights Blue Origin has provided. As for the rest of us? Well, we'll have to watch them have their fun from solid ground. Blue Origin, owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos, doesn't sell tickets for the public to watch a rocket launch in person. But areas around the launch site, including a town just south of it, may provide a few ideal places to catch the liftoff and spaceflight. Here's everything to know about Blue Origin's next human spaceflight and how to potentially see it in person. Billionaire Jeff Bezos, best known for founding Amazon, is the founder of the private space technology company Blue Origin. Bezos himself even boarded Blue Origin's New Shepard for its maiden crewed voyage in July 2021, which came after the spacecraft flew on 15 flight tests beginning in 2012. For nearly four years since its first crewed mission, the New Shepard spacecraft has served as a powerful symbol of Blue Origin's commercial spaceflight ambitions amid a growing space tourism industry. In addition to sending space tourists on brief joy rides to the edge of space, Blue Origin has also increasingly sought to compete with Elon Musk's SpaceX. Blue Origin's massive New Glenn rocket, which flew on its inaugural flight test in January 2025 from Cape Canaveral, Florida, is also being developed for future spaceflights. At 320 feet tall, the spacecraft rivals SpaceX's 400-foot Starship in size. Blue Origin's next crewed launch, known as NS-33, could get off the ground as early as 8:30 a.m. CT Saturday, June 21, the company announced. Blue Origin New Shepard rocket launches take place from the company's private ranch facility known as Launch Site One. The facility is located more than 140 miles east of El Paso near the U.S.-Mexico border. Blue Origin does not provide any public viewing areas for launches at or near its facility, which is located in a remote desert. Spectators, though, have been known to pull over on U.S. Route 54 to gather on spots to the side of the highway that offer good views of New Shepard getting off the ground. Van Horn, the nearest town, is located about 30 miles south of Launch Site One in Culberson County, Texas. While the town is too far away to see the launch pad itself, it is likely the best place to see a New Shepard rocket soar into the sky. The town's visitors bureau advertises Blue Origin on its homepage and its brochure as an attraction, but does not list any suggested public viewing locations for launches. However, here is a list of public places in and around Van Horn – some listed as attractions on the visitors' bureau website – where spectators might be able to see a rocket taking off: Van Horn city park, 3rd and Austin Streets Okey D. Lucas Memorial Park, 1804 W. Broadway St., Van Horn Guadalupe Mountains National Park, located about 60 miles north of Van Horn in Dell City and 40 miles north of the launch site, the park bordering New Mexico has the highest point in Texas. Scenic overlook: a pull-off spot located off the westbound lane of Interstate 10 about four miles west of Van Horn that provides an elevated view over U.S. Route 54. Here's a look at the passengers on the next Blue Origin New Shepard spaceflight, known as NS-33: Allie Kuehner, an environmentalist who serves on the board of Nature is Nonpartisan, a nonprofit organization advocating for bipartisan solutions to environmental issues Carl Kuehner, who chairs Building and Land Technology, a real estate development, investment and property management firm Leland Larson, a philanthropist and former CEO of School Bus Services and Larson Transportation Services – both family-owned public transportation businesses based in Oregon Freddie Rescigno, Jr., CEO of Commodity Cables, an electrical company he founded in 2001 Owolabi Salis, an attorney and a financial consultant Jim Sitkin, a retired lawyer from California Each spaceflight on a New Shepard vehicle lasts about 11 minutes from liftoff to capsule touchdown. Named after astronaut Alan Shepard, the first American in space, the 60-foot-tall New Shepard rocket is topped with the gum drop-shaped crew capsule. The spacecraft operates completely autonomously, meaning no pilots are aboard. During its ascent, the spacecraft reaches supersonic speeds surpassing 2,000 mph before the rocket booster separates from the crew capsule. At that point, those aboard the capsule become weightless as the spacecraft continues toward its highest point on its brief voyage above the Kármán Line – the 62-mile-high internationally recognized boundary of space. While experiencing a few minutes of microgravity, passengers have the opportunity to unstrap themselves from their seats to gaze out the capsule's large windows and take in a stunning view of Earth. Meanwhile, the rocket booster heads back to the ground while firing its engines and using its fins to slow and control its descent to land vertical about two miles from the launchpad. The capsule itself eventually begins what Blue Origin refers to as a "stable freefall' – plummeting back to Earth as three massive parachutes deploy and the capsule makes a soft landing in the desert, sending up plumes of dust.

The Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus tablet is 54% off, but there's a catch
If you're looking at tablet deals while on a tight budget, the good news is that there's an offer from Amazon that fits the bill. The ad-supported, 32GB version of the 2022 release of the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus, which carries a sticker price of $120, is all the way down to just $55 after a 54% discount. That's an amazing $65 in savings, but there's a catch — you need to have an Amazon Prime subscription. If you're interested in this bargain, you're going to have to act fast because we're not sure how long stocks will last for this device. Why you should buy the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus (2022) tablet While there's already a 2024 release of the tablet, the 2022 release of the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus remains a worthwhile purchase today. It's not going to be as fast as the best tablets, but for daily tasks such as browsing the internet, checking social media, and watching streaming shows, its hexa-core processor and 3GB of RAM will be more than enough. The device also features an 8-inch HD touchscreen, a battery life of up to 13 hours on a single charge, and access to Amazon's Alexa. If you think its 32GB of onboard storage is too limiting, you can expand it by up to 1TB with a microSD card. This chance to buy the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus at less than half-price requires an Amazon Prime membership. If you haven't signed up yet, you should use the Amazon Prime free trial to unlock the discount. This will get you set up for Prime Day 2025 too. The savings on this tablet, however, more than make up for the monthly membership price of $15 if you need to pay. You don't need to spend on a high-end tablet if you're only planning to use the device for basic functions, and we highly recommend going for the 2022 release of the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus. The ad-supported version with 32GB of storage is already affordable at its original price of $120, but you can currently get it at 54% off for an even lower price of only $55. You need to be an Amazon Prime member to take advantage of the $65 discount for the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus, but signing up is quick, easy, and at least temporarily free.

Data center spending soared amid rising GPU demand in Q1
This story was originally published on CIO Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily CIO Dive newsletter. Data center capital expenditures increased 53% year over year to $134 billion during the first three months of 2025, according to Dell'Oro Group research published Tuesday. The spike was driven by a surge in hyperscaler spending on AI infrastructure, particularly Nvidia Blackwell GPUs and custom accelerators, the research firm said. The four companies with the largest cloud footprints — AWS, Google, Meta and Microsoft — accounted for 44% of Q1 data center capital investments. Enterprise infrastructure spending — the second biggest category — accounted for one-third of the total, according to Dell'Oro. 'Despite some project cancellations by U.S. cloud providers, overall CapEx remains on track, with hyperscalers adjusting capacity rather than cutting investments,' Dell'Oro Group Senior Research Director Baron Fung said in the report. 'Enterprises, facing tighter budgets and tariff-related risks, are more cautious, prompting slight downward revisions to their CapEx forecasts.' An ongoing data center building boom sparked by generative AI adoption showed no signs of an early-year slowdown as hyperscalers raced to add compute capacity. Amazon reported $24.3 billion in Q1 capital expenditures, primarily to expand AWS' AI cloud infrastructure. Microsoft and Google weren't far behind, reporting $21.4 billion and $17 billion in CapEx for the first three months of the year, respectively. Dell'Oro Group expects the trend to continue. The firm forecasted a 30% year-over-year bump in data center investments for 2025, despite mixed economic signals triggered by tariff concerns and supply chain challenges. Last year, data center infrastructure capital expenditures grew 51% year over year to $455 billion. 'Tariff-related uncertainties are not expected to materially alter hyperscaler spending plans given their diversified global supply chains,' Fung said in the report. AWS, Microsoft and Google Cloud plan to invest more than $250 billion in buildouts this year, in part to ease capacity constraints and satisfy growing customer demand for AI processing power. 'The availability of GPU and supporting infrastructure is supply constrained,' Fung said in an email. 'Demand is so strong that the top 4 U.S. cloud service providers have had to turn away smaller customers.' Amazon signaled two massive U.S. data center construction projects earlier this month — a $20-billion hub in Pennsylvania and a $10-billion project in North Carolina. The company is also planning a nearly $13 billion buildout in Australia, according to a June 14 announcement. 'As fast as we actually put the capacity in, it's being consumed,' Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said during a May earnings call. The executive noted that demand for AI compute services is 'unlike anything we've seen before' and characterized AI as a 'once-in-a-lifetime reinvention of everything we know' in an April letter to shareholders. AWS and its hyperscaler peers are jockeying to establish early market share, Fung told CIO Dive. Realizing a return on the investments will take time, he said.
