Tech & InnovationHostinger slashes Premium hosting prices by 87% this Black Friday
Sub-$3 hosting with another 10% stacked discount is a customer-acquisition play, not a sustainable price point. If your product depends on “cheap hosting” as a differentiator, assume this is the new floor for promos and compete on performance, support, or bundling instead.
Tech & InnovationThis could be the cheapest BE5000 Wi-Fi 7 access point, offering 2.5GbE, free lifetime cloud management, and an impressive five-year warranty
Wi‑Fi 7 at ~$90 with 2.5GbE and lifetime cloud management turns access points into a near-disposable, centrally managed commodity. If you run multi-site or retail footprints, this pricing just pulled “full refresh plus cloud control” into opex budget territory, not a multi-year capex debate.

Valve pre-compiling and optimizing Windows games for Arm before launch is a bet that translation overhead should be an infrastructure problem, not a user problem. If they pull it off, Arm-based PCs and handhelds become far more viable overnight, which matters for anyone building game-adjacent tools, anti-cheat, or mod ecosystems tied to x86 assumptions.
