Just be respectful while you do it. | | | ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds | | | Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): | | 347 articles, 16 podcasts, 20 press releases, 377 tweets, and 19 YouTube videos | | | 1. Teams' Community Feature Helps You Connect Away From Work | | If you've ever wanted to use Microsoft Teams for something outside of office coordination, now's your chance. Microsoft is expanding the platform's scope with a new Communities feature that lets you bring people together to do more than the tasks related to your daily work life. See? Teams can be fun! | | 2.

The 17 and under crowd is nowhere to be seen in the graph above, and we're not surprised; why would they be there? And even if some are on Teams, we'd bet money it's only in a school environment. | | | 🔥 Today's Hot Deal | | The iRobot Roomba i3+ EVO robot vacuum can clean hard floors and carpet, empty itself, and is down to $349 on Amazon right now. What better way to say "I was thinking of you and your home" than this? Too bad it can't pick up wrapping paper. | | | | | "Be wary of AI?" —Evan Killham, Editor | | | Unleash the budding photographer within | | Kids should have fun taking photos, too, and not just with a smartphone. Instead, check out the 1080p Action Child Gift Camera, which is waterproof, has a selfie camera, and controls that are easy for kids to use. And it probably won't be broken within a week... probably. | | | Did you know the Nintendo Switch is five years old? The tech was behind other console options in 2017, and the gap has only widened.
