Kids can code their own superpowers with littleBits $50 Marvel Avengers Kit
Join the Avengers and save the day… and some cash.
Amazon has the littleBits Marvel Avengers Hero Inventor Kit on sale for $49.99. This price drop marks the first time this item has ever dropped this low, as it normally sells for $150. Our last deal on the set saw it drop to $80. So far, the reviews are fantastic.
This kit is legitimately one of the coolest products I’ve ever seen. First, kids will build and customize an interactive electronic gauntlet. Then they’ll use a free app for iOS or Android to code their super powers. Seriously, where was this thing when I was a child?! I might have to buy one anyways.
The gauntlet itself has ten authentic Avengers sound effects, though you can also opt to record your own. There are over 18 activities for kids to build, play, and code. No grown-ups are necessary for the fun, either. The app features step-by-step video instructions and kid-friendly troubleshooting.
Aside from obviously being fun, this toy will also teach your kid valuab… 閱讀全文

The best tempered glass screen protectors for your Pixel 3 or 3 XL
A screen protector is one of the most important accessories you can buy for your phone, but the subtle curves along the edges of the screen on the Pixel 3 and 3 XL make it tricky to find the perfect fit. Google doesn’t have a recommended screen protector on the Google Store — which they usually include for most of their phones — and I think that speaks volumes. I’d recommend the film screen protectors from Skinomi for both the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL since they’re easy to install, compatible with cases, and shouldn’t leave you frustrated with bubbles or dust.
Tempered glass For Pixel 3
Supershieldz Tempered Glass Screen Protectors (3-pack)
This three-pack of tempered glass screen protectors for the smaller Pixel 3 is your best value. Because of the curved edges of the Pixel 3 display, it doesn’t quite go right to the edge, but you should get good protection for your phone.

Take a stroll down memory lane with 30% off the PlayStation Classic
The price drop makes it worth it!
The PlayStation Classic retro gaming console is on sale for just $69.95 at Amazon right now. That’s $30 off the normal price of this recently-released console and the best deal we’ve seen.
Sure, the PlayStation Classic has not been as well-received as Nintendo’s retro consoles like the NES Classic, but if you grew up with one of these consoles it still might hold a special place in your heart. And now it can hold that place for $30 cheaper, which makes it even more special to me. Plus, gamers have even found a way to add your own games to the system that could give it a lot more replayability.
The PlayStation Classic is loaded with 20 original PlayStation games including Final Fantasy VII, Jumping Flash, Ridge Racer Type 4, Tekken 3 and Wild Arms. It comes with two wired controllers, so you can play with a friend, an HDMI cable, and a virtual memory card. The device is tiny, about 45% smaller than the original PlayStation, but looks nearly identic… 閱讀全文
[Update: Slack apologizes] Slack deactivating accounts with Iran links over government regulations, but US users affected
Slack has today abruptly begun deactivating accounts that have even what seem like weak associations with Iran. For example, even an Iranian PhD student in Canada with no Iranian colleagues on Slack has seen his account deactivated.

Thoughts on Chromebook, iPad, and user focused IT departments
Even though my school mainly uses iPads, we still have a suite of ChromeOS devices in our library. There are 10 Chromebases (the iMac version) for students to use, and then we have a Chromebox for our librarian to use to check books in and out (she has a MacBook Air as well). We’ve had this computer in there for the past four years, and I have not touched it since it was installed. ChromeOS auto updates, it’s easy to manage remotely (not that I did much), and never once gave us a problem. Last week, it started shutting down randomly on us, so I decided it was time to replace it. I got on Amazon, found a similar model, and I ordered it. I then emailed one of my vendors so I could add the management license to it.
The process of replacing the machine was a breeze. I unplugged the old one, plugged in the new one, enrolled it in our management system by logging into a managed account, and then it restored everything like it was before. If anything, Google has nailed the web terminal experience. If you need a device to access your current web apps inexpensively, you’d be hard pressed to find a better machine. A lot of schools are pondering iPad vs Chromebook for upcoming technology refreshes, so I have been thinking about what the next decade of computing in enterprise/education looks like. more…
