Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentDelightful, if you hate choices.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBro, it's a slot machine that loves you back! Meta is at seven forty-two ninety, up two point oh four percent.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentI'm already scrolling in my sleep.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentWired says the MacBook Air is eleven hundred ninety-nine dollars for Prime Day, two hundred off.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentApple is down point three six percent, so the laptop is the only thing marked down.
