The Best Cyber Monday Home, Kitchen, and Parenting Deals

WIRED

When we tested the Roomba i3, it had some navigational flubs. Still, it's the most affordable robot vacuum that iRobot offers with the all-important self-emptying bin, and it includes a few other features we love, like the easy-to-clean, proprietary rubber rollers. Roborock has slowly become one of my favorite robot vacuum manufacturers. Each from its S series offers great battery life and large bin sizes. Product reviewer Parker Hall likes this vacuum a lot too.

You Really Should Check Out These Cyber Monday TV Deals

WIRED

WIRED reviewer Jess Grey says this is one of the prettiest TVs she's ever seen, and I'm inclined to believe her. If you're after a shockingly beautiful screen to complete your fancy quarantine theater, look no further. LG's CX OLED is one of the prettiest TVs of 2020, which makes this sale one of the best you'll find this Black Friday. It's got a super-low refresh rate option and Nvidia G-Sync for working as a computer monitor, and it's also one of the few models that can do 4K at 120 frames per second to make video games look even better on next-gen consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. If you don't need the super speedy 120-Hz 4K for gaming, the step down from the LG CX is an astonishing deal this Black Friday.

Cyber Monday: What you need to know before buying that cheap smart TV

USATODAY - Tech Top Stories

That Cyber Monday special from Best Buy sounds really enticing. Which may not be a catch at all, but it is something worth considering. Because if you have Amazon Echo speakers throughout your home, you won't be able to use them to talk to your new TCL TV. As all TV sales now tend to be "smart," they operate on different software platforms, ones you need to consider before making your purchase. Before you buy a Roku-branded TV, I have three words for you: "Wonder Woman 1984."


Making use of Open Data in Retail Industry - Dataknead

#artificialintelligence

Open data has been and is still a driving force behind business process re-engineering. Even though most businesses do not necessarily consider open data a key attribute in business performance, it creates a lot of opportunities that gear the business towards competitive edge. Identifying correct open data relevant to business needs is a challenge particularly in customer engagement and workforce management. Data about a product or services delivered to end users is openly available through social media and the web. In the recent past such data has overwhelmed existing data management tools in terms of storage, processing and delivery.


The 5 Biggest Retail Trends In 2021

#artificialintelligence

Since online shopping became a reality, retail has become increasingly digital and internet-driven. Bricks and mortar stores have adopted elements of the online experience to encourage us to continue visiting them, and also played to the strengths that in-person experiences can offer, such as more personal levels of service. But the coronavirus pandemic has affected the way every trend will play out in 2021, and offline retail has been hit particularly hard. This has led to widespread job losses and famous names disappearing from shopping centers around the world. At the same time, online retail has boomed more quickly than ever before as consumers choose to remain safely indoors, and home delivery infrastructure becomes increasingly sophisticated.
