The Apple Watch has long been considered to be one of the best smartwatches you’re likely to find and it’s available in a few different sizes and configurations to suit different needs and budgets. But even the cheapest Apple Watch isn’t cheap and that’s why finding a great deal is vital. Right now Woot is the place to be if you want to bag an Apple Watch at a great price with the Apple Watch Series 8, Apple Watch Series 7, and Apple Watch SE all represented.

Those looking to get the cheapest Apple Watch possible need to look no further than the Apple Watch SE. Although this is the first-gen model, its discounted price of just $168 is hard to beat. That’s the 40mm model although the larger 44mm one is also available while multiple colorways are also offered.

The most modern model included in this sale is the Apple Watch Series 8. This watch comes in the 45mm size and includes cellular connectivity for just $290, but it’s worth noting that this is from excess carrier inventory. That means it’s going to come in a brown box with an OEM charger and watch band. If that isn’t an issue, this could well be the model to go for.

Looking to bag some cheap accessories? Multiple watch band and charger bundles are available from just $25. Still not sure that these deals are for you? Be sure to check out our collection of the best Apple Watch deals, we’re sure there will be something in there for everyone.

Deals on Nintendo are pretty rare, so we’re quick to shout them out. Woot has marked down the excellent Nintendo Switch OLED for a limited time, offering one of our favorite handheld consoles at a $30 discount. The white model is available at the reduced price of $320 right now at Woot. But this offer will only be available until April 10, or while supplies last.

Unlike many Woot deals, the Switch OLED models on sale right now are offered brand-new, so you don’t have to settle for a preowned or refurbished device. The devices will ship in the regular Nintendo retail packaging with all the accessories you’d expect a brand-new unit to come with. You’ll also get a year of Nintendo warranty coverage in case of any issues.

The Nintendo Switch OLED is the best Switch console on the market right now. It has a larger screen than both the original Switch and Lite models, with a 7-inch OLED display offering more vivid colors and greater contrast. The device also has a redesigned kickstand and TV dock, along with 64GB of internal storage. Whether you’re investing in a Nintendo Switch for the first time, want to upgrade your current device or are buying a console as a gift, this deal makes it much more affordable — while supplies last.

Title-chasing Arsenal will be hoping not to slip on a potential banana skin as they take on relegation-threatened Luton at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.

The Hatters provided Mikel Arteta’s side with a scare in the entertaining reverse fixture at Kenilworth Road back in December, with the Gunners having to come from behind to snatch a late 3-4 victory.

Arsenal look set to start with Gabriel Martinelli in favour of Gabriel Jesus, while long-term absentee Jurrien Timber is in line to make an appearance on the home side’s bench.

The visitors could meanwhile be without as many as 13 first team players for this match according to boss Rob Edwards, with key men Tahith Chong, Alfie Doughty and Reece Burke all doubtful after picking up knocks in their defeat to Tottenham at the weekend.

Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live, wherever you are in the world.

Arsenal vs. Luton Town: When and where?

Arsenal host Luton Townat the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday, April 3. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. BST local time, which is 2:30 p.m. ET or 11:30 a.m. PT in the US and Canada, and 5:30 a.m. AEDT in Australia on Thursday morning.

How to watch the Arsenal vs. Luton game online from anywhere using a VPN

If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch the game — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.

With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, non-blackout area. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.

Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

Quick tips for streaming the Premier League using a VPN

• With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming EPL matches may vary.
• If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
• If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
• All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
• And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.

Apple released iOS 17.4 in March, and the update introduced some useful new features to your iPhone, like Podcast transcripts and Apple Cash virtual card numbers. But when Apple released iOS 17 in September, the tech giant introduced a new feature that could help you take better care of your eyes, called Screen Distance.

The feature warns you when you’re holding your iPhone or iPad too close to your face, sort of like having a parent tell you to sit farther back from the television or computer screen. Although having a screen near your face might not harm your eyes, it could stress and irritate them, according to health care organization Cedars-Sinai. Thankfully, this new iOS 17 feature aims to help you reduce eyestrain, and according to Apple, it could even lower the risk of myopia, or nearsightedness.

Here’s how to turn Screen Distance on and give your eyes a break.

Turn on Screen Distance

1. Open Settings.
2. Tap Screen Time.
3. Tap Screen Distance.

Then you’ll see two screens explaining what Screen Distance is and how it works. Tap Continue on both screens, and Screen Distance automatically turns on after these screens. Both screens appear only the first time you go into Screen Distance.

Now, after holding your iPhone too close to your face for a few minutes, your screen gets blocked by a message reading, “iPhone May Be Too Close.”

Your screen remains blocked until you hold your iPhone farther away. Then, your screen shows a checkmark, and you have to tap Continue to remove the block.

Turning off Screen Distance

Screen Distance is a useful iOS feature that may reduce eyestrain and even decrease the risk of nearsightedness. However, if you find the warnings more annoying than helpful, here’s how to turn Screen Distance off.

1. Open Settings.
2. Tap Screen Time.
3. Tap Screen Distance.
4. Tap the toggle next to Screen Distance.

Now you can go back to holding your iPhone as close to your face as you want without interruption from your phone — or your parents.

For years, I was a nuisance to anyone with an iPhone. While I proudly toted my Samsung Galaxy devices, my friends would deplore the havoc I’d wreak on any text or group chat by “turning everything green.” There is apparently nothing worse to an iMessage user than an Android user who crashes their precious blue bubble party.

I’ve since given up the fight and switched to the iPhone, and now reap the many benefits of iMessage, including sending high-resolution photos and videos, seeing typing indicators and sharing reactions. These perks are limited to messaging fellow iPhone users. I’m now the one who, much to my chagrin, laments getting green texts from anyone on the “outside.” Exclusivity brings out the worst in us.

Now that Apple has said it’ll adopt Rich Communication Services messaging, things should get better. RCS is a protocol that replaces SMS (Short Message Service) and has a lot of the same features as iMessage, including typing indicators, high-resolution media sharing and end-to-end encryption. It’s already available across Android devices and, after years of pressure from iPhone users, competitors and lawmakers alike, Apple has said it’ll adopt RCS on iPhones, too.

This update might arrive with iOS 18, which Apple is expected to debut during its Worldwide Developers Conference on June 10. And it’s also possible that, in light of a recent Department of Justice antitrust suit against Apple, the iPhone maker will use the event to tout its efforts to bridge the divide between its devices and Android phones.

Here’s everything to know about how Apple’s adoption of RCS could improve messaging.

RCS will replace SMS texting on iPhone

When RCS arrives on iPhones, it should transform basic messaging with Android users into a more modern, sophisticated experience by replacing SMS and MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service).

Instead of getting small, grainy photos and videos from Android friends, you’ll see high-quality photos and videos. RCS could also bring perks like read receipts and typing indicators, and will improve group messaging.

But there’s a big caveat: adopting RCS won’t solve the blue-bubble-green-bubble issue. iMessage will continue to be available only to Apple’s customers, meaning texting anyone who doesn’t have an iPhone will still be a separate (but hopefully more comparable) experience.

Some features will remain exclusive to iMessage or Google’s Messages app. For instance, while you can edit or unsend texts in iMessage, you probably won’t be able to do so for messages sent via RCS. And Google Messages-exclusive features like drafting texts using the Gemini AI model likely won’t transfer across devices either. It’s also not clear yet whether messages sent across Android phones and iPhones will be end-to-end encrypted.

Still, this update should make messaging across Android phones and iPhones feel less archaic.

When will RCS become available on iPhones?

That’s still unclear, though the update is likely to arrive in the fall. In fact, Google seems to have accidentally leaked RCS’s arrival on iPhone in a new landing page for Google Messages.

According to 9to5Google, the search giant noted the new messaging protocol is “Coming soon on iOS,” and that “Apple has announced it will be adopting RCS in the fall of 2024.” This mention has since been removed, but it’s as if Google can hardly contain its excitement.

Either way, it’s possible we’ll get RCS-related updates during Apple’s WWDC on June 10.

Will the DOJ’s antitrust suit open up iMessage?

In its sweeping complaint against Apple, the DOJ accuses the iPhone maker of hindering competition, delving into a range of practices it sees as monopolistic. This includes allegations that Apple “undermines cross-platform messaging” by not extending its iMessage service to Android.

Apple has maintained that keeping iMessage exclusive to its own devices is in the interest of privacy and security, noting it wouldn’t be able to ensure that encryption and authentication measures on third-party devices meet its standards. It’s also pointed to the company’s ongoing work to support RCS, which it says will allow for an improved messaging experience with non-iPhone users.

And if that’s not enough to make people happy, Apple noted the range of other messaging platforms people can use to communicate across devices, including WhatsApp, Messenger and Snapchat. But, depending on where you live, it might be more intuitive to reach for the native text app on your phone, whether that’s Apple’s iMessage or Google Messages.

Whether or not the DOJ’s complaint will force Apple to open up its walled garden remains to be seen. The European Union has also been applying pressure on Apple and other tech giants as part of its Digital Markets Act, which is designed to promote fair and open competition in the tech sector. Last month, the EU determined Apple’s messaging platform doesn’t qualify as a “gatekeeper” service, meaning it won’t have to connect directly with other chat apps. (Meanwhile, Meta’s WhatsApp and Messenger apps do fall under the EU’s gatekeeper label and will therefore have to allow for conversations across other services.) Time — years, perhaps — will tell how Apple fares in the face of the DOJ’s allegations, and whether or not changes are in store for iMessage.

In the meantime, iPhone and Android users alike can find reprieve in Apple’s imminent adoption of RCS, which should hopefully make talking to your friends on different devices less painful. And even if the texts stay green, hopefully the grass on the other side looks a little less so.

Warning: If you keep reading, you’ll see the Wordle answer for Wednesday, April 3. That could be a devastating spoiler for some players. But if you just need the answer — maybe you’re on your last guess and just don’t want to see an 800-game streak go poof — keep reading.

We’ll start you off with some general tips and then hints in case you feel just getting the answer itself is cheating. If you just want the answer, scroll down to the final subhead. We’ll update every day with the newest answer.

Tips, strategies and more

I’ve written a lot about Wordle — from covering its 1,000th word to my list of the best starter words to a helpful two-step strategy to controversial word changes. I’ve even rounded up what I learned playing the hit online word puzzle for a full year. So if you’re rethinking your need for the actual answer, you might try tips from one of those stories.

Still need a starter word? One person told me they just look around and choose a five-letter object that they’ve spotted to use as their starter word — such as COUCH or CHAIR. I tend to stick to starter words that have the most popular letters used in English words. I like TRAIN as a starter, though I have a friend who uses TRAIL. I’ve read that people use the financial term ROATE, but I like to use words I actually know.

Is Wordle running out of words?

Tracy Bennett, the Wordle editor, made a TikTok on March 28 where she addressed the possibility that the game will eventually run out of five-letter words. “Yes, there are only about 2,300+ words left in the database,” she acknowledged. But she notes that she’s added about 30 words and could add more. Bennett also says she might recycle words later on or possibly allow plurals or past tenses, which haven’t been a part of the game. (A TikTok commenter suggests the game move up to six words when the database runs out.)

Wordle siblings, Connections and Strands

There are other fun games in the Times Games stable. My latest addiction is Connections, which I think is trickier than Wordle. This is the game where you look at a grid of 16 words and try to put them into four groups of related words. Sometimes the relationships between the words are pretty out there — like the time when it was four words that all began with rock bands, such as RUSHMORE and JOURNEYMAN. (Connections got a little sassy on April Fool’s Day with an all-emoji puzzle.)

Spelling Bee is a popular Times game too. And there’s a new game that’s still in beta, Strands, which I’m trying to master.

Wordle hints and answer

Let’s talk about the answer for today. Last chance to bow out and stop reading if you don’t want spoilers. I’ll start with some clues that don’t give it away, in order to give you a chance to still win on your own.

Wordle hint No. 1: Starts with two consonants

This answer begins with two consonants, so look for those that can go together.

Wordle hint No. 2: Two vowels

Today’s Wordle answer has two vowels, paired up, in positions three and four of the five-letter word.

Wordle hint No. 3: Meanings matter

This word can be both a noun and a verb. The verb is more popular in the US, where I hardly ever hear the noun version.

Wordle hint No. 4: Starting letter

This word begins with a “P.”

Wordle hint No. 5: Ending letter

And it ends with a “T.”

Next, we’re giving away the answer. Last chance to look away, the answer is below the photo.

Wordle answer revealed

The Wordle answer for April 3 is PLAIT. Merriam-Webster gives the first definition as “pleat” and the second as “a braid.” The verb form also means to braid or to “interweave strands or locks.” Americans tend to call the resulting hairstyle braids, while in the UK, plaits is often used. And some think of braids as a simpler twist or hair, while plaits are a more elaborate version.

This word could end up being the Wordle stumper of the week.

Hope these clues helped you keep your streak going! Come back tomorrow if you’re stumped again.

Google Podcasts has officially gone the way of Google Play Music and has been integrated directly into YouTube. As of April 2, Google Podcasts ceased to function in the US.

Fortunately, you still have some time to migrate your subscriptions to another service. Google will allow you to migrate your data to either YouTube Music or the podcast app of your choice using the Google Podcasts app through July.

Google Podcasts first launched in 2018. Before its launch, podcasts were tied with Google Play Music. When it came out, it focused primarily on Google Assistant integration and using information gathered from your listening habits to offer more personalized recommendations. The service improved over time and became one of the most popular podcast apps, boasting over 500 million downloads on the Google Play Store alone.

Google revealed the reasoning for integrating Google Podcasts with YouTube Music in its announcement last year.

“We’ll be helping Google Podcasts users move over to Podcasts in YouTube Music,” Google said in September in a blog post. “This matches what listeners and podcasters are already doing: according to Edison, about 23% of weekly podcast users in the US say YouTube is their most frequently used service, versus just 4% for Google Podcasts.”

Google Podcasts will officially enter the Google graveyard at the tender age of six years. Folks outside of the US will still have access to Google Podcasts for a little while longer — the company didn’t share when the rest of the world would lose access, but it’ll be sometime in 2024.

Here’s how to move your Google Podcasts subscriptions to other services.

How to migrate Google Podcasts subscriptions

There are two ways to export your podcast subscriptions from Google Podcasts. The first is a direct export to YouTube Music. The other lets you download your subscriptions in OPML format. You can then load that file into another podcast app to retrieve your subscriptions. We’ll go over both methods.

Export to YouTube Music

• Before you begin, make sure to download YouTube Music, open the app and sign in with your Google account before proceeding.
• Open Google Podcasts. At the top of the app’s home screen, you’ll see a banner encouraging you to export your subscriptions.
• Tap the Export subscriptions link on the banner.
• You’ll have an option to export directly to YouTube Music or export to another app. Tap the Export button to migrate your data to YouTube Music.
• YouTube Music will automatically open to the podcast transfer screen.
• Tap the Transfer as… button. It should show your Google account email on the button.
• If you listen to podcasts hosted by a third-party server, Google will let you know that you’re adding an RSS feed instead of directly subscribing to the podcast. Tap Continue to proceed.
• The transfer will be processed. This may take a few minutes if you listen to a lot of podcasts so hang in there.
• Once done, the app will take you to your podcast library so you can make sure everything is transferred correctly.

Export to another podcast app

• Open Google Podcasts and find the banner that tells you to export your podcasts. Tap Export subscriptions.
• On the next page, tap Download.
• You’ll be encouraged to save a file to your downloads folder. Tap Save to do so.
• For your reference, Google names this file google-podcasts-subscriptions.opml by default.
• Open the podcast app you wish to migrate your podcasts to.
• Navigate to that app’s settings and locate where you can import OPML files.
• Once located, use the app’s import tool to find and import the OPML file saved by Google Podcasts in the previous step.
• Finally, check your library to ensure that Google Podcasts transferred everything correctly.

Are YouTube Music podcasts free?

YouTube Music podcasts are free. Google says that “listeners can enjoy podcasts on-demand, offline, in the background, while casting and seamlessly switch between audio-video versions on YouTube Music. This podcast listening experience is different from our music listening experience where you need a Premium or Music Premium subscription to enjoy some of these features.”

Why is Google shutting down Google Podcasts?

Initially, the move to separate Google Podcasts from Google Play Music emulated Apple’s approach of having separate podcast and music streaming apps. At the time, Apple Podcasts was the most popular podcast app in the US, with 34% of US podcast listeners using it. However, Spotify has since taken the throne as the top podcast app in the US, and Amazon has doubled its own podcast listener numbers since 2021 with the same all-in-one strategy.

So while this seems like another classic case of Google doubling back, as it did with Inbox by Gmail, Google integrating podcasts with YouTube Music more closely emulates the methods that are driving success for other companies in 2024. In addition to audio podcasts, YouTube Music will boast video podcasts along with access to YouTube, one of the internet’s largest sources of both music and podcast content.

What else should I know?

YouTube Music launched podcasts on its platform in April 2023 and is fully integrated into the experience. You can search for podcasts the same way you search for music and add podcasts to your library the same way as well. It isn’t quite as robust as a dedicated podcast app, but you do have the ability to save podcasts for later, download podcasts for offline listening and enable auto-downloads so you don’t have to do it yourself later.

Perplexity, the generative AI search engine that’s taking on Google, will soon use ads in a novel way. Specifically, it plans to implement brand-sponsored queries as follow-up suggested questions to ongoing AI conversations, according to a report from AdWeek on Monday.

When asking a question in Perplexity, it’ll sometimes suggest additional questions you can ask the AI chatbot. These related questions account for 40% of Perplexity’s queries, according to AdWeek. Perplexity said it will let brands influence these related questions, potentially steering users toward specific products. The AI engine will launch suggested sponsored queries in the “upcoming quarters.”

Perplexity didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Perplexity’s move to integrate ads comes as the rest of the generative AI industry is using the “freemium” model. Players like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Microsoft’s Copilot and Anthropic’s Claude all offer a free version of their AIs but allow people to use a more advanced version for a monthly cost. Like those companies, Perplexity also offers a paid version. Running AI chatbots at the moment is expensive as each query can cost 10 times more than a traditional Google search. Last year, OpenAI was paying $700,000 per day, according to research firm SemiAnalysis. While the cost of generative AI should go down over time as technologies and systems improve, companies will need to find ways to monetize free queries to keep things sustainable.

Perplexity bills itself as an “answer engine” and works like a cross between ChatGPT and Google. Its investors include Jeff Bezos and former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki and is valued at $522 million as of January. Perplexity feels most similar to Microsoft Copilot, integrating both AI chat and search links, along with images. Unlike ChatGPT, Perplexity has a connection to the open internet and will link to sources. It also links to Reddit posts, a site that’s now being commonly called upon in Google searches.

Perplexity itself says it’s a good idea to double-check sources information you get from its answer engine, and the eventual introduction of advertising will mean another filter that users will need to put over answers.

If you constantly find yourself losing things such as your keys, wallet or phone, a tracking device might be a good idea. Apple’s AirTag item trackers are just the ticket if you want to find these things without ripping your home apart. And right now, you can pick up a pack of four and you’ll pay just $85 at Amazon. That’s $14 off the usual $99 asking price, but it’s unclear how long this price is going to stick around.

AirTags are some of our favorite item trackers, and they work seamlessly with your iPhone and the Find My app, with a simple one-tap pairing process. You can then throw a tracker into a pocket as it is, or grab an AirTag accessory to clip them to keys, hook them onto a bag, stick them to your bike or attach them to anything else you want to keep tabs on.

Once set up, the AirTags will show up in the Find My app and display your items on a map so you can easily find them. If an item is in your vicinity, you can use the app to play a sound on the AirTag’s tiny speaker to help you find it and use the Precision Finding feature to be guided to your lost possession. This is handy if you’re just looking for your keys or wallet around the house, for example. If you lose an item farther afield, you can put it in Lost Mode, which will then ping you if the AirTag is detected on the Find My network and allow you to add a message and include your phone number or email address.

Each AirTag is powered by a CR2032 coin battery, four of which are included with your purchase. The batteries last around a year before you need to replace them. AirTags are IP67 water- and dust-resistant too, so you don’t have to worry about them getting damaged if they’re exposed to the elements.
