SAVE 25%: As of Monday, Jan. 30, Nespresso Vertuo coffee and espresso makers are on sale at Amazon for 25% off.

It’s cold and dark first thing in the morning, so the last thing you want to do is to get out of your cozy home to stand in line at a coffee shop. And while some of the coffee machines on the market are too much effort and/or are pricey, Nespresso’s Vertuo line of coffee and espresso makers are not, thanks to their massive sale of 25% off at Amazon, as of Jan. 30.

There are two variations of the Nespresso Vertuo coffee and espresso maker on sale. One includes a milk frother and one does not—so it’s up to you to determine whether the extra expense is worth it. The Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Machine by De’Longhi without the frother costs $134.99, as opposed to its original price of $179, while the Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Machine by De’Longhi with an included frother costs $171.25, as opposed to its original price of $299. In both cases, you’re saving a whopping 25% off.

The newest line by Nespresso, the Vertuo Collection, is one of the few machines that lets you brew both coffee and espresso, all with a simple touch of a button. It works exclusively with Nespresso Vertuo capsules that feature over 30 blends, including unique options from other countries, such as Turkey and India. You can brew five different coffee cup sizes, and the one-touch brewing system employs barcode reading technology to ensure you get the perfect cup every time. You can even connect your machine to your smartphone for seamless updates and helpful descaling alerts.

This Nespresso machine also comes with a 54-ounce removable water tank, along with a container for up to 17 used capsules. It heats up in as little as 15 seconds for when you need a quick morning brew, and automatically shuts off after 9 minutes of inactivity to save energy. Not to mention, it looks great on a countertop, thanks to its incredibly sleek design.

Best tech deal

Why we like it

The 2022 iPad Air just dropped back down to its record-low $499.99 price, which it reached just once before (during the holiday season). You can select from any color option at Best Buy or snag it in a more limited selection at Amazon on Jan. 30. The 2022 iPad Air is great “for both casual users and professionals,” according to Mashable senior editor Stan Schroeder in his review. It’s not perfect, as the starting storage is pretty low at 64GB, but Schroeder says it’s still “the iPad most people should buy.”

Best beauty deal

Why we like it

The Dyson Corrale completely overhauled the hair-straightening experience by making it cordless. But that’s not all — it also works to reduce damage as you style, thanks to flexible manganese copper alloy plates. They’re supposed to conduct and retain heat better than the average flat iron plates. Of course, like all Dyson products, the damage-reducing Corrale will cost you. But if you sign up to become a My Best Buy member (it’s free!), you can slash $100 off the usual cost for a limited time.

Top pick

Why we like it

The GoWISE USA Digital Air Fryer (5.8-quart) can bake, grill, fry, and roast. It features a built-in shake alarm and a touchscreen menu with eight cooking presets for fries/chips, pork, chicken, steak, shrimp, cake, fish, and pizza. This nifty gadget comes with a recipe book, one non-stick pan, and a detachable basket equipped with a cool touch handle and button guard.

Just load it up, set it, and forget it. And, thanks to its auto-shutoff function, you won’t have to worry about burning or overcooking your snacks. 

Budget buy

Why we like it

The Instant Vortex Mini Air Fryer Oven Combo can fry, bake, roast, and reheat leftovers in minutes. This little countertop appliance features EvenCrisp Technology, so you get a perfect golden finish every time, and one-touch smart programs, including a setting for wings, roasted veggies, cookies, cinnamon buns, and more. 

Love or tolerate it, Valentine’s Day is the ideal time to right the gift-giving wrongs of the holidays. Were you sure your husband would love that faux-vintage turntable, only to find out later that what he really wanted was a weighted blanket? Did you misinterpret his months of hint-dropping about homebrewing, ponying up for the perfect craft beer kit, when he was actually talking about kombucha?

In your defense, nailing the perfect gift for someone as close to you as a spouse is a lot harder than it sounds, especially when you’ve been together for a while and exhausted your best ideas. Instead of opting for something cliché or overly trendy, spend some time reading between the lines of his interests and hobbies. If he’s a movie buff with a Regal Unlimited subscription who uses Letterboxd like his personal journal, for example, grab some cool merch from the A24 Shop. Don’t be afraid to get hyper-niche.

With that in mind, we’ve come up with a list of Valentine’s Day gift ideas for over a dozen different kinds of husbands. Some are luxe versions of everyday items, while others are special-occasion splurges. A select few are gifts that the both of you can enjoy — because healthy relationships are all about sharing, right?

SAVE $99.01: The 2022 iPad Air is back down to its holiday season record-low pricing. Grab it in your choice of colorway at Best Buy or in a more limited selection at Amazon as of Jan. 30. At just $499.99, you’ll save 17% off its $599 list price.

We’re about a month and change past the holiday season, so any regrets you have about not grabbing fancy new tech at discounted holiday prices are settling in now.

Just because we’re heading into February in two days doesn’t mean you have to wait until November for record-low pricing again. In fact, as of Jan. 30, the 2022 iPad Air (WiFi, 64GB) has returned to the $500 all-time low price we saw it at about a month back, and in every single colorway if you’re shopping at Best Buy. Amazon also has the tablet discounted, but only in purple, blue, and starlight.

Color preferences aside, the 2022 Air is one of the most versatile tablets Apple has out on the market. Mashable senior editor Stan Schroeder calls this iPad “the sweet spot of Apple’s tablets” in his review, citing how its features-to-cost ratio makes it great “for both casual users and professionals.”

Those features include a high-powered M1 chip (the same one that was formerly only in iPad Pros), 8GB of RAM, and a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display. In other words, it’s a high-powered tablet that’ll have no trouble running a game or editing software, and can likely handle most multitasking you throw at it. For comparison, the 2022 iPad, which launched in late 2022 as compared to the Air’s early 2022, comes with an A15 chip, and is only $50 less than the Air.

The biggest downside is the 64GB starting storage, but at nearly $100 off, it’s easier to swing. Strictly casual users might want to think before they buy, but for people who want a little extra power and a lot of bang for their buck, this deal on the iPad Air is hard to beat.

As AI slowly creeps it way into every facet of our digital lives — from essay writing to conversations with therapists to the generation of original art — it’s the least bit surprising that artificial intelligence would also take a step into music. It’s also not surprising that tech giant Google would be the first major player on the scene.

The company is reportedly building an AI bot that can create “original” music from both text and sound prompts — users would be able to type in increasingly specific prompts noting genres and styles or even build songs based on a hummed or whistled melody, according to reports. The future app is known in-house as MusicLM.

The information was revealed in a research paper released on Jan. 26, describing MusicLM as a “model generating high-fidelity music from text descriptions” that “generates music at 24 kHz that remains consistent over several minutes.” The paper explains that songs can be created from richly written captions, such as:

The main soundtrack of an arcade game. It is fast-paced and upbeat, with a catchy electric guitar riff. The music is repetitive and easy to remember, but with unexpected sounds, like cymbal crashes or drum rolls.

Additional sequences of timed text prompts help build the structure of songs, along with a library of sounds and other AI prompts generated from sources like art archives.

Examples of the AI-generated songs have already been posted to Google’s Github account, part of a preliminary release of a 5,500 music-text pair dataset known as MusicCaps.

The unveiling of such a platform will inevitably stir additional conversations about the role of artificial intelligence in intellectual property theft and copyright infringement, generated by a plethora of artists and art repositories who haven’t consented to public use of their art in the creation of AI bots like these — others, meanwhile, are capitalizing on the surge in AI fronted tech. Additional AI developments also pose unique risks for the humans behind the tech as well, as exploited workforces face the brunt of data mining and moderation.

As for now, the Google AI music maker is not going to be released any time soon, with the company explaining ongoing concerns about cultural programming biases, glitches, and concerns about plagiarism that have to be resolved before its launch.

SNL’s Weekend Update rounded up quite the mixed-bag of news this week, including a proposed TikTok ban, Chipotle burrito sales, and cheese-induced nightmares.

Co-hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost went all in on the internet’s trending topics, including the state of AI chatbots. They simultaneously roasted the de-facto TikTok lobby and last year’s abortion ban in Texas, nailed musician Kanye West for thinking of himself as both “Jesus and Hitler”, and even questioned the world’s oldest living dog.

The two traded joke after joke for the rest of the sketch, and, as always, made sure to remind viewers that the jokes and reality have become pretty blurred.

SNL‘s cold open had the cast on the hunt for the infamous “classified government documents.” Don’t worry everyone, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland (Mikey Day) is on the case.

This week’s Saturday Night Live, hosted by actor Michael B. Jordan, joined the comedic forces of cast members Day, Kenan Thompson, Ego Nwodim, and Bowen Yang, who step up to the press podium to relay an unspoken truth of government officials of past and present: they’re all a little incompetent.

Buttressed by humorously timed whip-cracking noises invoking the great TV procedurals of the past, Day plays a shakey but determined Garland. “I may look like I was born in a library, but there’s something you should know: Merrick Garland don’t play.”

The sketch ended with a more serious message, though: justice for the Memphis police killing of Tyre Nichols. “When we’re done playing with these little papers,” Thompson’s character says, “we’re going to head down to Memphis and make sure justice is served down there too, right?” Day’s Garland responds, “I sincerely hope so.”

Another Saturday Nigth Live commercial spoof means another skit with Michael B. Jordan in a nice button-up. I really can’t complain. This time around SNL host Jordan and the cast portray Southwest Airlines employees presenting to viewers the new and improved Southwest experience.

The team at Southwest is sort of apologizing for the mess that happened over the holidays and according to them are “dedicated to a new, more modern Southwest Experience.” These changes include updating the communications systems to 2008 Dell computers along with a “no more missing baggage” guarantee.

“From here on out, all luggage is sorted by color,” says one southwest agent (Marcello Hernández).

“That makes it your responsibility, not ours,” another agent responds (Michael Longfellow). So make sure to bring red bags if you’re going to Dallas, cause the blue ones are heading to Charlotte.

Quickly, however, the allure of an actual apology from Southwest is gone as it becomes quite clear that the airline employees are sick of our shit. Jordan states that in-flight staff is being upgraded to former Waffle House employees because “these big bitches don’t play.”

Heidi Garner agrees that mistakes were made, but some of that was on you too.

“You bought a Southwest ticket,” Garner says. “You obviously don’t respect yourself, so why should we?”

In one of Saturday Night Live’s funniest commercial spoofs in a while, host Michael B. Jordan portrays an absolutely unhinged Jake from State Farm who attends to a family’s home and auto needs. He’s there when you need him…24/7.

Things come to a head when the father, played by Mikey Day, begins to realize that Jake from State Farm is spending way too much time with his wife and his kids. He buys the family dinner while dad is at work, teaches the daughter the piano, and he even brings them to church. Things take a dark turn fast as the dad slowly realizes he’s being replaced by Jake from State Farm and it gets even darker from there.

While drunk, Day heads to a bridge, drunkenly singing “Like A Good Neighbor, State Farm is There.”

“He took everything,” he says, before attempting to jump over a bridge.

Then, out of nowhere, he is saved by insurance mascots LiMu Emu and Doug, from Liberty Mutual. The End.
