This Samsung TV is a home decor staple, and it's $500 off
While most TVs are thin enough for the average bear, there's a special category of television designed to blend in with home decor. Samsung's The Frame QLED started this boutique TV craze, and now brands like Hisense and TCL have followed suit. As luck would have it, you can score one of Samsung's Frame sets for a discounted price this week.
As long as the sale is still live, you'll be able to purchase Samsung's 55-inch The Frame 4K QLED (2024) for only $1,000, which is a $500 discount off its original $1,500 price.
Why you should buy Samsung's The Frame
First and foremost, The Frame comes with Samsung's Slim-Fit Wall Mount, which allows the TV to sit as flush to the wall as possible. When it's powered off or displaying art or family photos, you'd swear it was an actual museum piece. The high-matte display gives The Frame an iconic look, and the screen's anti-glare coating keeps the picture quality strong, even in the brightest of rooms.
Once connected to the internet, you'll have access to Samsung's Art Store, which is home to numerous digital art prints. Should you want even more options, you'll need to sign up for an Art Store subscription, but you can also display your own photos by uploading them to the TV.
The Frame (2024) does a nice job of upscaling low-res content to look clearer and more colorful, too. While three of the four HDMI ports are only 2.0 certified, the fourth is an HDMI 2.1 connection, which is what you'll want to hook up your PS5 or Xbox with. The Frame also has a native 120Hz refresh rate and exceptionally low input lag when set to Game Mode.
We're not sure how long this sale is going to last, so today might be the last day to save this much on a Frame TV for quite some time.
Take advantage of the $500 markdown when you purchase right now! You should also take a look at our lists of the best Samsung The Frame TV deals, best Samsung TV deals, best Samsung deals, and best TV deals, too!

OpenAI-Jony Ive AI hardware venture hits trademark snag over brand name
OpenAI TL;DR A blog post announcing OpenAI's $6.5B acquisition of Jony Ive's hardware startup 'io' has been taken down due to a court order stemming from a trademark complaint by a company called iyO. OpenAI clarified that despite speculation, the partnership with Ive is still ongoing, and it's exploring options regarding the name dispute. iyO, which already sells an AI-powered 'audio computer,' claims the 'io' name infringes on their trademark. All traces of OpenAI's much-hyped hardware venture with legendary Apple designer Jony Ive have suddenly disappeared due to a court order triggered by a trademark complaint. A blog post that once sat prominently on OpenAI's website was pulled without warning, briefly showing a 404 error (h/t Max Weinbach). Naturally, this sparked speculation that the partnership between Sam Altman's OpenAI and Ive had fallen apart. But the company has since clarified that's not the case. In a notice now posted on its website, OpenAI says the blog post announcing the $6.5 billion deal between Ive's startup 'io' and OpenAI was taken down 'due to a court order following a trademark complaint from iyO about our use of the name 'io.' We don't agree with the complaint and are reviewing our options.' OpenAI The now-removed blog post from Altman and Ive stated: 'The io team, focused on developing products that inspire, empower, and enable, will now merge with OpenAI to work more intimately with the research, engineering, and product teams in San Francisco.' So who's iyO? It's a company that has already made an AI device capable of running natural language apps, think the now-defunct Humane AI Pin. The company calls its device an 'audio computer,' but at its core, it's basically an AI-powered earbud. We'll now have to wait and watch who wins the rights to the 'io' name and if OpenAI and Ive will be forced to rebrand because of the lawsuit.

5 must-use Microsoft Edge browser features to save time and money
You'd be forgiven for forgetting that there was a time when Microsoft Edge was basically the web browser that opened when you accidentally clicked a link that didn't default to opening in Chrome or Firefox. But something shifted in 2020 when Microsoft switched Edge's digital drivetrain to Chromium, the technology that powers the Google Chrome browser and others like it. Edge suddenly shed its awkward skin and emerged as a genuinely competent—nay, pleasant—browsing experience. And if you use Edge during your workday, there are some wonderfully useful time-savers built right into its core. Here are the ones I find most excellent. Split Screen: 2 for the price of one Want to browse to your heart's content while keeping an eye on your email? Try a neat little Edge feature called 'Split Screen.' Click on the three little dots in the upper-right corner and select this menu option, and the browser will split into two panes and you can open different sites. It even handles multiple tabs for each pane as well. It's perfect for always-on email, social media, or anything you need to keep a constant watch over without disrupting your main workflow. It's like having a mini-browser within your browser and is especially helpful if you're working off a laptop without multiple monitors to plug into. Collections: Your digital idea board If you often find yourself researching something, opening a few dozen tabs, and then realizing you'll need to revisit all of them later . . . then you and I are kindred, unorganized spirits. Yes, bookmarks exist, but they're meant to be reasonably permanent and they're a bit clunky for quick idea gathering. 'Collections,' on the other hand, act like digital project managers for you to reference later. Click the three-dot menu and choose Collections to get started. You can drag and drop links, images, even snippets of text into a themed collection. Planning a trip? Researching a new gadget? Building a shopping list? Collections keep it all tidy and easily accessible. Imagine: actual organization! Performance Settings: Nobody likes a laggy browser Even the best browser can bog down the beefiest system when you have a gazillion tabs open and a dozen extensions running, and you're streaming 4K resolution video. Edge's 'Performance' settings section is a quiet hero. It aims to save CPU, RAM, and battery by saving system resources, including a handy feature that puts inactive tabs to sleep. It doesn't close them, but rather simply pauses them, freeing up resources for stuff you're actively working on. You can enable and tweak various efficiency features in Settings > System and Performance. Your CPU fan will thank you. Web Capture: Screenshots made simple If ever you're feeling down about the state of the world, just know that it's never been a better, easier era to grab screenshots. So there's that. What once involved a delicate dance of Print Screen, pasting into Paint, cropping, and then realizing you missed a pixel is now as easy as right-clicking in the open space of a web page, selecting 'Screenshot,' and grabbing what you need. You can grab a specific area, the full page, or exactly what you see in the browser. You can annotate directly on the capture, too. Shopping Features: Save some bucks, save some time I'm not usually one for built-in shopping assistants, but Edge's are surprisingly unobtrusive and genuinely helpful. If you're on a site that sells stuff, look for a blue price tag icon to appear on the right-hand side of the address bar. Click it, and the feature can automatically find coupons, compare prices, show you historical price trends, and let you track the item and get alerted if it goes on sale. It's like having a miniature, nonjudgmental personal shopper living in your browser.

What would you need to earn to feel financially secure? A quarter of Americans say $150,000 or more
Almost half of Americans (45%) think they would need to make $100,000 or more a year to 'feel financially secure' or 'comfortable,' according to a new survey from Bankrate. Breaking that down further, a quarter of respondents in total (26%) put the number at $150,000 or more. Among them, 8% said they would need to earn between $200,000 and $499,999, while another 8% said $500,000 or more. On the flip side, nearly half of respondents (45%) said they would feel financially secure making less than six figures, with 34% saying they would feel comfortable making between $50,00 and $99,999. The online survey, conducted by YouGov and taken by 2,260 US adults in mid-May, also asked 'What annual income would you need to feel rich/attain financial freedom?' More than half (55%) put the number at $200,000 or more. Among them, a quarter (26%) said it would take at least $1 million a year, while 13% said they would need to earn somewhere between $500,000 and $999,999. More than half of respondents (56%) said they needed to earn more than they are currently making to feel secure. So what do Americans make in reality? Based on the latest Census data, median US household income in 2023 was $80,610. That's the mid-point on incomes, meaning half of US households made less. But that median is across all households regardless of size. In family households specifically — where two or more people live — the median was $102,800. Within that group, the highest median ($119,400) reported was among married couples. In terms of individual incomes in 2023, the median income of a full-time worker with earnings working year round was $60,070. Neither the Bankrate survey nor the respondents specified what was meant by the terms 'financially secure' or 'rich,' nor what financial freedom meant to them. The answer, of course, will always be highly subjective. How much you personally think you need is going to be influenced by many factors, including: Your current income, your age, whether you have children, where you live, how much debt you have and what your monthly expenses are. (Not to mention assets that contribute to your net worth, such as a 401(k) or brokerage account, a home or a business. But the survey didn't address that issue.) Among Bankrate survey respondents, 54% of those who already made $100,000 or more said they'd need to make at least $150,000 to feel financially secure. Gen Xers (ages 45 to 60) were most likely (35%) to say they'd need to earn $150,000 or more to live comfortably, compared to 26% of millennials (ages 29 to 44) and 20% of Gen Zers (ages 18 to 28). Among parents with children under 18, 35% indicated earning $150,000 or more a year would make them feel financially secure. And those most likely to say they'd need to earn $1 million or more to feel financially free were parents whose children were 18 or older (33%). Bankrate asked respondents how they would describe their current level of financial security. Overall, most (77%) said they did not feel 'completely financially secure,' including 32% who said they didn't think they ever would. Those most likely to say they did feel 'completely financially secure' were people making at least $100,000. Within that income group, 42% of respondents said they considered themselves secure. Only a quarter of those in the $50,000 to $79,999 income group and 12% of those making less than $50,000 said the same. In terms of life stages, large majorities of each generation said they don't feel financially secure, including 84% of Gen Xers; 80% of Gen Zers; 79% of millennials and 69% of Baby Boomers. 'Getting rich may have once been what many Americans fantasized about, but now, simply living comfortably feels like the new aspiration, as economic challenges make financial stability a rare luxury,' said Bankrate economic analyst Sarah Foster.
