Yes, Amazon\u2019s Prime Day already happened in July, but the company\u2019s members-only sales events are apparently not done. Amazon now plans to hold Prime Big Deal Days<\/a>, another Prime Day of sorts, on October 10 and 11, something it did the same month last year.<\/p>\n

Prime Day is two days long, and that\u2019s the pattern Amazon is following here, even hinting at a few early deals on Amazon devices. You can save up to 65 percent on a three-pack of eero Pro Mesh Wi-Fi, select Fire TV devices, Kindles and more. Amazon also promises a $15 credit to Prime members who download its Photos app and upload their first photo, between now and October 7, just ahead of its Big Deal Days.<\/p>\n

Microsoft\u2019s Panos Panay leaves after nearly 20 years<\/a><\/h2>\n

And he\u2019s reportedly heading to Amazon.<\/h3>\n

Panos Panay is leaving Microsoft. After heading the development of the initial Surface line of tablets and hybrid laptops, he became the company\u2019s chief product officer in 2018. His rise continued in 2021 when he moved to executive vice president after a successful Windows 11 launch. He\u2019s also been a mainstay of Microsoft\u2019s livestreams, press events and product launches alongside CEO Satya Nadella.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s been no reason given by either party, but Panay said he has \u201cdecided to turn the page and write the next chapter\u201d when he announced the move on X. However, Bloomberg <\/em>subsequently reported he has been poached by Amazon<\/a>. Panay will apparently replace Dave Limp, the Amazon executive previously in charge of Alexa and Echo, who announced his retirement last month. What makes this more unusual is that Microsoft has a livestream event this Thursday, which will almost certainly focus on the new Surface products.<\/p>\n

AirPods Pro Adaptive Audio preview<\/a><\/h2>\n

Automatically adjusting to your day.<\/h3>\n

\n

Alongside the arrival of iOS 17, a firmware update to Apple\u2019s AirPods Pro adds a few new features, most of which will automatically adjust to your environment or activity, so you don\u2019t have to touch the earbuds or reach for your phone. The headline addition is Adaptive Audio, a tool that automatically and \u201cdynamically\u201d blends transparency mode and active noise cancellation (ANC) based on your surroundings. Adaptive Audio gradually starts tweaking the blend of ANC and transparency. So if you enter a loud coffee shop, AirPods Pro gently increases noise cancellation to combat the distractions. Engadget\u2019s Billy Steele tests out all the new features.<\/p>\n

The Google Nest Hub Max is losing some of its video call functionality<\/a><\/h2>\n

It\u2019ll still support Meet, in a more limited capacity.<\/h3>\n

\n

Google is discontinuing support for Zoom and Google Meet meetings on its Nest Hub Max. Some users have received notifications that they can no longer join meetings from the device beginning September 28. The news follows Zoom\u2019s July announcement that Nest Hub Max support will end for the video calling service on September 30. Google said in a statement that \u201csupport for joining meetings via meeting codes and links in Meet\u201d is going away, but also noted, \u201cThere is no change to making 1:1 and group video calls to friends, family and businesses with Google Meet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sonos Move 2 review<\/a><\/h2>\n

Better sound and battery life come at a cost.<\/h3>\n

\n

When Sonos released its first portable speaker, the Move, four years ago, it was an anomaly. Portable and connectable through Bluetooth, this was a different Sonos product. In 2023, these tricks have proliferated across the Sonos lineup. The more affordable Roam speaker brought the Move\u2019s feature set to a much smaller device, while recent home speakers, like the Era 100 and 300, both support Bluetooth, as well. The Move 2 doesn\u2019t suggest a new direction for future Sonos products, but it does bring the company\u2019s latest tech and design cues to an existing product.<\/p>\n
