Prime Day 2025 is here from Tuesday, July 8 to Friday, July 11, and Lifehacker is sharing the best sales based on product reviews, comparisons, and price-tracking tools. 


I love my premium Dyson Airwrap airstyling tool, but when it comes to drying and styling your hair at the same time, there's definitely a case to be made for the Shark FlexStyle. I can see why: It's much cheaper, and comes with some unique innovations, too. I've considered getting one to compare to my Airwrap for a while, and now thanks to a 32% price-slashing deal on Amazon Prime Day, I think I'm going to.

The Shark FlexStyle deal

First, let's talk numbers. An Airwrap usually runs you $500 (though it's on sale for $375 right now) and the Shark FlexStyle, which does basically the same thing, is usually around $370. Right now, it's $250.

If you've been wanting an airstyler but have been unsure about taking the plunge, that's the kind of discount that could push you over the metaphorical ledge.

What the FlexStyle does

For the uninitiated, an airstyler is a hair tool that uses air to not only dry, but style. By forcing air out of a barrel at an angle, it can dry your hair into a perfect curl, saving you a load of time, since you won't have to fully dry your hair, then go back through it with a traditional curling iron. Plus, it just creates a lot more volume than your standard curling iron could ever dream of. Again, this is all thanks to the air. It's no surprise that Dyson and Shark make the best ones on the market, since they're both companies that specialize in vacuums, fans, and air purifiers.

Since switching from old-school tools to a modern airstyler a few years ago, I haven't been able to imagine ever going back. My hair looks and feels better now, because I spend less time attacking it with heat and the air fluffs it up beautifully, plus my getting-ready routine has been slashed in half, time-wise.

With this FlexStyle deal, you get the following:

  • A base that blows out air

  • Two 1.25" curling barrel attachments

  • Two brush attachments

  • A diffuser attachment

  • A blow-drying attachment

That's everything you need to take your hair from wet and limp to dry and volumized. Plus, the FlexStyle has a unique feature that competitors don't: You can turn the top of the base so it forms a right angle, more similar to a regular hair dryer, so you don't have to hold it at an uncomfortable angle if you don't like it facing straight up and down.

Reviews on Amazon say it dries hair extremely fast and leaves it feeling soft while creating relatively long-lasting styles. Your mileage may vary depending on the products you use it with (and you'll have a little bit of a learning curve if you've never used one before), but in my personal life, I've also heard great things from my friends. I'm excited to try it out.


Looking for something else? Retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, and Home Depot have Prime Day competition sales that are especially useful if you don’t have Amazon Prime.

  • Walmart’s Prime Day competition sale begins at midnight on July 8 and will include deals up to 50% off. It’s an especially good option if you have Walmart+. 

  • Best Buy’s Prime Day competition sale, “Black Friday in July,” runs through Sunday, July 13 and has some of the best tech sales online. It’s an especially good option if you’re a My Best Buy “Plus” or “Total” member.

  • Home Depot extended its 4th of July sale through at least July 9, competing with some amazing deals of its own. It’s an especially good option if you’re looking for power tools, appliances, or outdoor equipment.

Prime Day 2025 is here from Tuesday, July 8 to Friday, July 11, and Lifehacker is sharing the best sales based on product reviews, comparisons, and price-tracking tools. 


I can't get over how much the Razer Blade 14 walks the line between being a portable gaming powerhouse and the kind of laptop you could take to the office without getting funny looks. It's a sleek, understated laptop that's got the battery chops to be your daily driver, but can still power through some heavy duty games. And right now, it's up to $400 off through Razer's website.

The 2025 model of the Razer Blade 14 comes with a QHD+ (2,880x1,800) OLED display and can display up to 120 frames per second, which makes it one of the best-looking displays I've ever used in a laptop. Under the hood, you can choose between an RTX 5060 or RTX 5070 laptop GPU, both of which are respectable mid-range current-gen GPUs.

The RTX 5070 model usually starts at $2,700, but right now it's down to $2,300 through Razer's website. Meanwhile, the RTX 5060 model starts at $2,300, and is discounted to $2,000 at the moment. It's a slightly smaller discount than the more expensive model, but both are a substantial price drop compared to their usual retail price.

It's also worth noting that the RTX 5070 model comes with a minimum of 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and both have a 1TB internal storage drive, though you can spend a bit more to upgrade both of these specs. If you've been looking for a workhorse laptop that can still handle your lengthy gaming sessions, it's hard to find a better option than this.


Looking for something else? Retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, and Home Depot have Prime Day competition sales that are especially useful if you don’t have Amazon Prime.

  • Walmart’s Prime Day competition sale begins at midnight on July 8 and will include deals up to 50% off. It’s an especially good option if you have Walmart+. 

  • Best Buy’s Prime Day competition sale, “Black Friday in July,” runs through Sunday, July 13 and has some of the best tech sales online. It’s an especially good option if you’re a My Best Buy “Plus” or “Total” member.

  • Home Depot extended its 4th of July sale through at least July 9, competing with some amazing deals of its own. It’s an especially good option if you’re looking for power tools, appliances, or outdoor equipment.

rime Day 2025 is here from Tuesday, July 8 to Friday, July 11, and Lifehacker is sharing the best sales based on product reviews, comparisons, and price-tracking tools. 

New to Prime Day? We have a primer on everything you need to know. Sales are accurate at the time of publication, but prices and inventory are always subject to change.


The other day, I pointed readers to this Ring Floodlight Cam on sale for $100, and today I wanted to highlight a less-expensive option: This Blink video doorbell. It can be yours for $29.99, a steep drop from the list price of $69.99.

While the Blink cam doesn't have the bells-and-whistles of more expensive options, if you want a reliable, no-hassle video doorbell, and you don't want to pay more than it costs to eat lunch, you can get it on Prime Day.

Instead of being hard-wired, the Blink camera comes with three Energizer lithium batteries and a Blink Sync Module that will keep your doorbell working for up to two years, so the set-up is a five-minute snap, after which you'll have a door camera that detects motion and automatically records, even in the dark—it has night vision. You can also talk to whoever shows up through the Blink app, and if you connect it with an Alexa device like the Show 5, you can get a live view of your Uber driver on a separate screen.


Looking for something else? Retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, and Home Depot have Prime Day competition sales that are especially useful if you don’t have Amazon Prime.

  • Walmart’s Prime Day competition sale begins at midnight on July 8 and will include deals up to 50% off. It’s an especially good option if you have Walmart+. 

  • Best Buy’s Prime Day competition sale, “Black Friday in July,” runs through Sunday, July 13 and has some of the best tech sales online. It’s an especially good option if you’re a My Best Buy “Plus” or “Total” member.

  • Home Depot extended its 4th of July sale through at least July 9, competing with some amazing deals of its own. It’s an especially good option if you’re looking for power tools, appliances, or outdoor equipment.

Deals are selected by our commerce team

Admin: Poll: Challenge tags

Jul. 10th, 2025 04:33 pm
teaotter: (fan-flashworks)
[personal profile] teaotter posting in [community profile] fan_flashworks
Background: Dreamwidth has a 1500-tag limit, and [community profile] fan_flashworks is constantly bumping up against it. So we have an ongoing tag management project to try to gain ourselves some elbow room. You might have seen our periodic posts about merging old single-use fandom tags. Unfortunately, we are coming to the end of the easily-merged fandom tags, and so need to find another way to reduce our tag use.

Today's topic: We mods have been talking about the challenge tags (c: amnesty, c: science, etc.) These tags label an entry as responding to a particular prompt (or being part of an amnesty round).

We're not sure if anyone's actually using these! So we wanted to check in with you all before deciding between A) removing them entirely, or B) leaving only the ones from the last 12 months (and only tagging amnesty posts with the amnesty tag). Option A) would make our mod lives easier, but if they are serving a purpose for some of you, we definitely want to take that into account when making our decision. :-)

If we remove the challenge tags, we will change the standard subject-line format for all rounds to "[challenge]: [fandom]: [medium]: [title]", ie, the same as the current format for amnesty rounds. Community members are welcome to go back and add the challenge to the subject lines of previous entries, too (though we know that for some of you, that would be a Herculean task!).

Please take a moment to vote in this poll.

Poll #33347 Challenge tags
Open to: Registered Users, detailed results viewable to: Just the Poll Creator, participants: 4

How do you use the challenge tags here?

I don't use them.
4 (100.0%)

I use them to find new-to-me fanworks for a specific prompt.
0 (0.0%)

I use them to filter out fanworks that don’t interest me.
0 (0.0%)

I use them to find specific fanworks on the community that are already familiar to me.
0 (0.0%)

I use them (in addition to my maker tag) to find my own fanworks.
0 (0.0%)

I use them some other way. (Please elaborate in the comments.)
0 (0.0%)

So that's what those tags are! I never knew!
0 (0.0%)

Challenge 485: Face

Jul. 10th, 2025 04:21 pm
teaotter: a woman looks over her shoulder (Resident)
[personal profile] teaotter posting in [community profile] fan_flashworks
Our new challenge is:

FACE



As always, you can interpret the prompt literally or figuratively, in whatever way works for you.

Each work created for this challenge should be posted as a new entry to the comm. Posting starts now and continues up until the challenge ends at 4pm Pacific Time on Sunday, July 20th. No sign-up required.

Mods will tag your work with fandom and challenge. When you've posted entries to three consecutive challenges, you will earn a name tag, and we'll go back and tag all your previous entries with your name.

All kinds of fanworks in all fandoms are welcome. Please have a look at our guidelines before you play. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact a mod. And if you have any suggestions for future challenges, you can leave them in the comments of this post.

Also, keep an eye out for the next [community profile] ffw_social post, which will go up in the next couple of days. If you haven't joined the [community profile] ffw_social comm, it's never too late to come and check it out. (Posts are locked, which means you have to join to see them.)

This system includes a GameDAC that you can use to pair it with PlayStation consoles, the PC, and other devices and swap between them easily.

The two front speakers also include built-in RGB LEDs so you can augment your battle station's vibes without buying extra gear. If this system is a bit too much for your tastes, SteelSeries also sells a couple other kits with fewer speakers, which are also on sale right now.</p><p>Finally, if you're in the streaming game&mdash;or if you just want to come across a little clear in your Zoom meetings&mdash;the <a href="https://zdcs.link/aRnvVk?pageview_type=RSS&amp;template=content&amp;module=content_body&amp;element=offer&amp;item=text-link&amp;element_label=Alias%20Pro%20microphone%20kit&amp;short_url=aRnvVk&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">Alias Pro microphone kit</a> is a great option (on sale for $125 off). Professional audio gear usually requires learning about specialty equipment like interfaces and pre-amps. This kit provides a simplified interface with a prominent gain knob, headphone mute, and mic mute buttons. The Alias microphone uses an XLR connection, so you can upgrade to a better microphone in the future.

Prime Day 2025 is here from Tuesday, July 8 to Friday, July 11, and Lifehacker is sharing the best sales based on product reviews, comparisons, and price-tracking tools. 


I am the prototypical consumerist millennial woman and I don't mind that about myself. I love buying stuff, especially stuff that works. One of the best examples of this is my attachment to my Dyson Airwrap. I got it for myself as a birthday present nearly four years ago, using turning 30 as a reason to justify spending $500 on a device that would dry, add volume to, and curl my hair. (If I'm being honest, I would have justified it no matter what; I just wanted one.) It's lasted a long time and still performs really well, so the investment was worth it for me—but if you want an Airwrap, you don't have to invest nearly as much right now. For Prime Day, the Airwrap Origin is on sale for 25% off.

Back in my day, the Dyson Airwrap came in a big box with an assortment of attachments: Four barrels for curling hair, two attachable brushes, one round brush, and a blow dryer. All of those fit snugly on the air-spewing base and had different uses. Over the years, the brand slimmed down the offerings, releasing barrels with adjustable airflow valves so you could alter the direction of your curls without having to switch between attachments and upgrading the blowdryer nozzle. I did purchase one of the upgraded barrels, but now, that single barrel comes standard with new Airwraps.

Because there are now so many different attachments and barrel sizes available (like thicker ones, thinner ones, and ones designed for longer or shorter hair), Dyson has released a scaled-back version of its original kit. Called the Airwrap Origin—the one on sale right now—it only includes one adjustable barrel, a round brush attachment, and that upgraded blow-dry nozzle.

I know $375 is a lot of money when you can get a blow dryer, air-blowing round brush, and curling iron for about $25 each at Walmart, but it's not that simple. When you Airwrap your hair, you're drying and styling at the same time. It has sped up my post-shower process so much over the years that I cannot imagine going back. When I've found myself without it, like on weekend trips where I can't justify packing a whole appliance in my duffel, I've been horrified reliving the way I used to do things.

The Airwrap is quiet, it's efficient, it makes your hair smooth and voluminous, it feels very luxurious, and it lasts—in my experience—forever with no problems. If you've been wanting one, this is your moment.

Mushrooms

Today we cooked up the mixed carton of fancy mushrooms from the Champaign Farmer's Market. They included pink oysters, blue oysters, lion's mane, and some little brown things with long stems and caps the size of a thumbnail. We sauteed them in sunflower oil, seasoned them with garam masala, and added some chopped bacon.

The result tasted good, but not much better than our usual mix of mushrooms, and it was twice as expensive. The oysters were good, but don't taste notably different from the usual white to light brown ones. We did not care of the stringy texture of the lion's mane.  Also, they cooked way fast and shrank way down, which left a small amount of stir-fry.  They might have worked better in something like wild mushroom spaghetti sauce.  So it was interesting to try, but not worth repeating.

Day 1633: "Absolutely trash."

1/ A federal judge blocked Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship, approving a class-action lawsuit to sidestep a recent Supreme Court ruling that limited nationwide injunctions. Judge Joseph Laplante said denying citizenship would cause “irreparable harm” and that the case wasn’t “a close call.” Laplante approved a class-action lawsuit on behalf of all babies born after Feb. 20 who could lose citizenship under Trump’s order, and temporarily blocked the policy nationwide. The Justice Department called the ruling “an obvious and unlawful attempt to circumvent the Supreme Court’s clear order,” which barred broad injunctions but allowed class actions. The judge paused the injunction for seven days for an appeal. Trump’s order is set to take effect July 27 if no court blocks it before then. (New York Times / CNN / Politico / Washington Post / Axios / Bloomberg / Reuters / ABC News / NBC News / Wall Street Journal)

2/ A former Justice Department attorney accused Trump officials of ignoring federal court orders and pressuring lawyers to lie to judges during deportation cases. Erez Reuveni gave Congress texts and emails showing Emil Bove – a former top DOJ official, ex-Trump defense lawyer, and current nominee for a federal appeals court seat – allegedly told subordinates they might have to say “fuck you” to the courts while deporting migrants under a wartime law. Reuveni was fired in April and labeled a “disgruntled employee” by Attorney General Pam Bondi. Internal messages, for example, showed officials falsely claiming Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a gang leader to justify his illegal deportation to a Salvadoran prison, despite a judge’s order not to remove him. “The Department of Justice is thumbing its nose at the courts,” Reuveni said. The Senate is currently considering Bove for a lifetime seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. (New York Times / CBS News / Politico / New Republic)

3/ The FBI used polygraph tests to ask senior officials whether they’ve said anything negative about Director Kash Patel. The questioning is part of a broader effort by Patel and his deputy Dan Bongino to identify internal critics and crack down on leaks, former officials said. Dozens of senior personnel have reportedly been removed, reassigned, or placed on leave since the new leadership took over. One former agent described the shift as favoring “ideological purity.” (New York Times)

4/ A federal appeals court upheld a $5 million civil verdict against Trump for sexually abusing and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll. The 2nd Circuit said Trump “had not demonstrated” any trial errors that would justify a new proceeding. In 2023, a Manhattan jury found Trump liable for assaulting Carroll in a department store in the 1990s and defaming her in 2022 when he called her story “a hoax and a lie.” Trump is separately appealing another $83.3 million verdict over similar statements. (CNBC)

5/ FEMA couldn’t deploy rescue teams to the Texas floods without Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s sign-off – a delay that lasted three days. FEMA officials said the new DHS rule requiring Noem’s personal approval for spending over $100,000 delayed deployments, including search and rescue teams, aerial imaging, and staffing at call centers. Noem defended the response, saying “every single thing they asked for, we were there,” and dismissed the report as “absolutely trash.” Noem and Trump have both called for eliminating FEMA “as it exists,” even as Texas has relied on the agency for the rescue efforts, housing, and food. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who sits with Noem on a Trump-appointed council to dismantle FEMA, called the agency “slow and clunky” and said states can respond “more effectively.” (CNN / NBC News / The Hill / NPR / Bloomberg)

It was helpful of Adrian Tchaikovsky's Elder Race (2021) to include a dedication to its inspiration of Gene Wolfe's "Trip, Trap" (1967), since I would otherwise have guessed Le Guin's "Semley's Necklace" (1964)/Rocannon's World (1966) as its jumping-off point of anthropological science fiction through the split lens of heroic fantasy. As far as I can tell, my ur-text for that kind of double-visioned narrative was Phyllis Gotlieb's A Judgment of Dragons (1980), some of whose characters understand that they have been sucked down a time vortex into the late nineteenth century where a dangerously bored trickster of an enigmatically ancient species is amusing himself in the Pale of Settlement and some of whom just understand that Ashmedai has come to town. I got a kind of reversal early, too, from Jane Yolen's Sister Light, Sister Dark (1988) and White Jenna (1989), whose modern historian is doomed to fail in his earnest reconstructions because in his rationality he misses that the magic was real. Tchaikovsky gets a lot of mileage for his disjoint perspectives out of Clarke's Law, but just as much out of an explanation of clinical depression or the definition of a demon beyond all philosophy, and from any angle I am a sucker for the Doppler drift of stories with time. The convergence of genre protocols is nicely timed. Occasional Peter S. Beagle vibes almost certainly generated by the reader, not the text. Pleasantly, the book actually is novella-proportioned rather than a compacted novel, but now I have the problem of accepting that if the author had wanted to set any further stories in this attractively open-ended world, at his rate of prolificacy they would already have turned up. On that note, I appreciated hearing that Murderbot (2025–) has been renewed.

Artificial Intelligence

This post has the funniest argument I have seen against AI:  "A computer can never be spiteful or horny.  Therefore a computer must never make art."

Now from an anthropological perspective, anything decorative rather than purely functional is "art" -- a contrasting color around the rim of a jug, for instance.  From a cultural perspective, however, art is about emotion.  It's how we express our human feelings about things we have seen or imagined as a way of communicating with other people.  So by that definition, a computer cannot make art, even if it can mash around colors and images.  An interesting point.

farmers market

I went to the Brookline (Coolidge Corner) farmers market this afternoon. I bought the two things I was specifically looking for--lamb merguez sausages, from Stillman's, and raspberries. When I was buying the sausages, I told the vendor that I'd asked for this kind of sausage a couple of weeks ago, at a different farmers market, and thanked him (them) for making that specific flavor of sausage.

One small box of raspberries, because we've had bad luck this summer with over-buying berries, and not eating all of them before them spoiled. I also bought two small cucumbers, and a baguette, even though it's not good baguette weather, because we like Clear Flour bakery's "ancienne" baguettes.

I stopped at Burdick's and got a cup of dark hot chocolate to take out, because it's unseasonably cool and felt like good weather for sitting outside with a hot drink. I didn't buy anything else there, because the chocolate-covered citrus has suffered from shrinkflation: Burdicks is charging almost twice as much as they did a few years ago, for about half as much candy.

The Dean Road station on green line C station isn't far, but it's enough of a hill to be good exercise: I walk quickly on my way to the T unless I make an effort not to, and then the walk back is uphill all the way.
