You don't need to splurge on tech — these 10 October Prime Day deals prove you can get quality for under AU$100
THE SO WHAT
Consumer hardware under AU$100 is now good enough for many edge use cases—sensors, basic compute, connectivity. For scrappy teams, this keeps prototyping costs low and shifts the constraint to software and integration, not devices.

Tech & InnovationKey Takeaways From Bloomberg’s Screentime Conference: TOPLive
Screentime’s mix of media, tech, and capital is where distribution, IP, and AI-native formats get negotiated. If your product touches content or attention, track what the largest rights holders and platforms are signaling here about data access, licensing, and monetization models.
Tech & InnovationA $100 PDF editor for $23.97, and the license never expires
A $24 lifetime PDF suite in a category that used to support $100+ licenses and subscriptions is another data point in the slow repricing of utility software. If you sell horizontal tools without deep workflow lock-in, assume your ARPU ceiling is drifting down and plan upsell around integrations, not core features.
Tech & InnovationMore Than 60 Percent of Toyotas Sold in the Past Three Months Were Electrified
Hybrid demand giving Toyota a >60% electrified mix is a reminder that “good enough” decarbonization often beats purist EV roadmaps. If your product depends on charging infra, grid stability, or new user behavior, assume a longer hybrid phase and plan distribution, partnerships, and pricing accordingly.
Tech & InnovationThis tiny PC has two Intel Arc B70 GPUs with 64GB of RAM and water cooling — Gunnir B70 workstation runs on Intel's Ultra 200HX with no AMD version in sight
Dual Arc B70s with 64 GB ECC in a tiny, liquid-cooled box is another data point that serious AI and graphics workstations are compressing into desk-side form factors. For teams building AI tools or 3D workflows, assume more customers will have local high-end compute and design for hybrid local/cloud execution, not cloud-only.
