1. Amazon Prime Members Can Get Early Access to Holiday Savings

Amazon Prime members can start their holiday shopping sooner with a new Prime Early Access Sale. Well, provided you're a Prime member and don't miss the 48-hour early sales window. It runs from October 11-12, but you can check out Amazon's holiday gift guides now. They're just suggestions, though. Sorry.

2. Audacity Gets a Makeover With a Huge Feature-Rich Update

Audacity Version 3.2 is out now, supporting a full range of new features. There's temporary, non-permanent editing, one-click audio sharing, and more, but its most obvious change is a visual redesign of the UI. This is especially good because Audacity launched in 2000, and, well, you could tell.

3. Meta Just Made It Easier to Switch Between Social Media Accounts

Managing your FB and Instagram accounts is easier than ever now thanks to Meta's new cross-platform profile-switching interface. Not only can you easily switch between the platforms, but you can quickly make new profiles for them, too. We don't know who needs multiple accounts, be we're happy for ya.

We're still surprised to see GPUs at reasonable prices, which is why we're bringing this Gigabyte Gaming OC GeForce RTX 3070 to your attention. It's a couple of years old, but still a powerful addition to any gaming PC setup. Plus, it's an LHR variant, so crypto miners can use it/you for their mining schemes.
