99 Prime Day Deals on Gear We Stand By, Up To 50% Off (2026)
The 99 Absolute Best Prime Day Deals We'd Spend Our Own Money On We've gone from A to Z to find Amazon's best Prime Day deals on the gear worth owning. Amazon Prime Day is here once again. Amazon's annual Prime Day deals aims to entice us with an endless scroll of "discounts (some real, many fake), hammering away with red slashes, big percentages off, and coupons you can only see after adding to cart. While Prime Day deals aren't what they once were--its success has inspired a massive number of fake deals and attracted obscure brands--there are still some very significant discounts to be found. For the next four days, the WIRED Reviews team will be pooling our hundreds of years of collective expertise to find actual savings on products we have personally tested and approved. Let us absorb the neon signage and "buy now" buttons on your behalf and share the deals worth sharing. We'll keep this list updated frequently for the duration of the sale, which runs from June 23 to June 26. This is our very favorite MagSafe power bank . Wireless and MagSafe charging aren't always the fastest or most efficient, but despite its bulk, this large-capacity bank can top off modern phones once (or maybe a little more than that) without overheating or taking forever. One of the best budget wireless chargers is even more affordable thanks to Prime Day. You can buy fancier, faster wireless chargers, but if you just want a simple option that'll top off your phone, this is worth checking out. It can deliver up to 10 watts, though you'll need to supply your own wall adapter. Want something that can fast charge your phone, juice up your tablet, and even refill your laptop? This generous 25,000-mAh capacity can do it all, but stops shy of the carry-on air travel limit. The maximum output is 165 watts for two devices, but 100 watts for a single device. It has lovely rounded edges, a retractable, flat, 2.3-foot USB-C cable on the top, and a snazzy, durable, braided 1-foot USB-C cable that doubles as a carry loop. Unlike so many Windows laptops around $500, the OmniBook 3 has excellent performance and battery life. And while the touchpad isn't the best, the specs alone make it the very best cheap laptop you can buy. You have to be careful when buying Chromebooks these days.
Ukraine attacks on Russian-occupied Crimea trigger power cuts in Sevastopol
Is the war entering a new phase? Ukrainian strikes on Russian-occupied Crimea have triggered power outages in its largest city, Sevastopol, according to statements from both sides, as Kyiv intensifies attacks on the peninsula Moscow annexed in 2014. Crimea has been forced to suspend fuel sales to the public as Ukraine's army targets Russian logistics to the region and has hit a series of oil refineries and depots across southern Russia that provide supplies. "The enemy is once again striking treacherously, attempting to deprive us of normal living conditions and sow panic," he posted. He said some areas of the city - where temperatures are approaching 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) - would be without power until at least Wednesday evening.

This remains one of my favorite Windows laptops, despite the recent price increases. But now, it's unexpectedly dropped to $835 for Prime Day, making it the best laptop Prime Day deal I've found so far. Price aside, though, my favorite feature is the 3:2 aspect ratio screen, which also has a faster 120-Hz refresh rate. It's absolutely gorgeous, and all the extra vertical screen space gives more room to work with. A new version just got announced with a more powerful Snapdragon X2 chip inside, but it's considerably more expensive . Unlike so many Windows laptops around $500, the OmniBook 3 has excellent performance and battery life. And while the touchpad isn't the best, the specs alone make it the very best cheap laptop you can buy. This gaming laptop has a big advantage over many others at this price. But the display, build quality, keyboard, and touchpad are a solid step up over even some of my favorite budget gaming laptops.
Contextual Integrity in LLMs via Reasoning and Reinforcement Learning
As the era of autonomous agents making decisions on behalf of users unfolds, ensuring contextual integrity (CI) - what is the appropriate information to share while carrying out a certain task - becomes a central question to the field. We posit that CI demands a form of reasoning where the agent needs to reason about the context in which it is operating. To test this, we first prompt LLMs to reason explicitly about CI when deciding what information to disclose. We then extend this approach by developing a reinforcement learning (RL) framework that further instills in models the reasoning necessary to achieve CI. Using a synthetic, automatically created, dataset of only 700 examples but with diverse contexts and information disclosure norms, we show that our method substantially reduces inappropriate information disclosure while maintaining task performance across multiple model sizes and families. Importantly, improvements transfer from this synthetic dataset to established CI benchmarks such as PrivacyLens that has human annotations and evaluates privacy leakage of AI assistants in actions and tool calls.
