This week Amazon's early Prime-exclusive sale gave us some great deals, the Oura Ring 4 was announced, and Sonos said its app is almost fixed.
In case you missed these or any of the other biggest tech news stories of the week we've gathered the eight most important ones here so you can get up to speed.
Once that's done you might want to catch up on the new Mac computers Apple is likely gearing up to announce later this month, and you'll want to check out our picks for the seven new movies and TV shows to stream this weekend.
8. Voting for the TechRadar Choice Awards 2024 opened
The TechRadar awards are back for 2024, and this year you can help decide the winner in a record 90 categories, split among the following sections:
You can vote in every category, or just a few, but make sure all of your votes are cast before 00:01am PST / 03:01am EST / 08:01am BST on Friday October 11th 2024, otherwise it won’t count.
Once we’re done counting the votes we’ll combine the scores with the rankings of our expert judges to decide the final winners – with the one exception being the Readers' Choice Award which is 100% decided by you. Winners in every category will be announced during our big TechRadar Choice Awards Week, starting Monday, October 28th.
7. Amazon Big Deals Day early sales began
Amazon Big Deals Day – a sort of Prime Day 2 ahead of this year’s Black Friday sale – kicks off officially on October 8, but that hasn’t stopped plenty of discounts going live as part of the early sale across Amazon US and Amazon UK.
