Thanks to a new Peloton app update, you can now more easily engage with members of the in-app teams you’re on by sending class suggestions straight to your team feed. This is an easy way to keep people motivated to meet shared goals, plus it gives the entire “teams” function a more concrete sense of community.

First, what are teams?

If you’re a Peloton user but don’t know about teams, I’m about to introduce you to one of the app’s more useful features—provided you’re someone who craves some kind of communal workout experience even when you’re grinding away in the privacy of your own home. I’ve covered the teams feature in-depth before, but in short: It’s a way for you to join forces with other likeminded users and work together toward a goal. You can create a team with your own friends or join a public team based on interests, location, or other identifiers. Teams participate in challenges, which are either competitive or collaborative. In a competitive challenge, the people on your team may have a goal of, say, being the one to complete the most cycling workouts in a single week. In a collaborative challenge, your team’s goal could be something like jointly completing 25 stretching workouts in five days. These goals are set by the team owner. You can see teammates’ progress in the feed tab once you’ve accessed your team overview by tapping the button at the bottom of your home screen—it looks like the silhouettes of two people.

What’s the new team feature?

The new feature is small but, in my opinion, impactful: You can share class links directly to your team feed, offering up a suggestion for your teammates about what kind of class they should consider taking that day. The easiest way to do this is in Peloton’s robust mobile app. First, find a class you like, tap on it to reveal the class details, and look for the share button. It’s a button on the top right of the screen that has a rectangle with an upward-pointing arrow coming out of it and it’s what you’d normally press if you wanted to share the link by text or email.

You’ll see the usual option to copy the link, but you’ll also see your teams and the option to share it directly to one of them. Select the team you want to share the link to and hit Continue. From there, you’ll have the option to add a message to accompany the link so when it appears in the team feed, there’s an element of personalization.

Why this feature is great

The teams feature is a solid motivator if you enjoy working with or against someone toward a goal, but it’s a little impersonal. You can see teammates’ progress in the feed, but you can’t post in the feed; all you can do it add a high-five reaction or a comment after someone’s completed a workout. With the addition of the option to recommend a class and add a message, the teams feature just became more social.

Sharing classes you think teammates might like can obviously encourage them to hop on their Bike or Tread, to take a walk, or to otherwise engage with the app and get a workout in. But it can also build a stronger sense of camaraderie, which is sorely missing when you’re working out on your own, even with Peloton’s famous virtual classes.

It’s especially useful if you’re on a team that works toward collaborative goals, like completing a certain number of cycling workouts in a week, because it’s in your best interests to rally the troops toward completing the goal—and providing everyone with a class suggestion can be the push they need to hop on the bike.

Pretty much wherever you live, it’s probably hotter than it used to be. Last year was the hottest on record, and most of the country’s major cities have experienced an increase in the heat index and days with temperatures of 90 degrees or higher.

If you have central air conditioning or a mini-split system in your house, you’re probably dealing with the heat pretty well. But if your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is starting to show its age and not keeping the house as cool as you need, your bank account might not be dealing with that particularly well. Replacing an HVAC system costs as much as $14,100 on average. For most of us, that’s not an easy cost to swallow, even if you finance it.

If your air conditioning isn’t cutting it but you can’t afford to replace it just yet, there’s hope: With a few easy and inexpensive steps you can give an old HVAC system a temporary boost. Here’s what you can try.

Basic maintenance

If your HVAC system has reached a ripe old age in working order, you’ve probably kept up with the maintenance schedule. That doesn’t mean a little extra TLC won’t give the old heap a boost:

• Clean the coils. The coils in your unit’s exterior condenser are essential to efficient cooling. The cleaner they are, the better your air conditioning will work, so grab a can of foaming coil cleaner, spray it on and let it work, then hose it off.

• Clean (or replace) the filters. Clogged, dirty filters at any point in the system will make it a lot harder for your HVAC to cool the house. Clean them according to manufacturer’s instructions or pop in brand new ones if they’re disposable.

• Clean the vents and ducts. Just like filters, if the vents, registers, and ducts are clogged with dust you’re not getting the best experience. Also, it’s kind of gross. Clean them thoroughly for a quick boost.

You could also consider having an HVAC professional come to check if you need to add refrigerant to your system. Older air conditioning systems can leak the refrigerant that turns hot air into cold air, so it’s possible that adding more refrigerant will help—but it’s not really a DIY job. Plus, if your system is leaking refrigerant, adding more will be a band-aid at best. Still, it might be worth considering if a professional agrees that it’s worth a shot.

Clear the space

Some people will claim that shading your condenser unit will lower the ambient temperature and help it work more efficiently, but this is probably not true—any gains are likely inconsequential. On the other hand, putting up something to shade the unit can actually hurt its performance, because it might restrict air flow around the condenser. So instead of putting up an umbrella or building some sort of structure over your condenser to keep it safe from the sun, you’d be better off clearing the area immediately around it to help air circulate as freely as possible.

Unless we’re talking about trees. If your unit is shaded by trees on your property, your house is probably shaded by them as well, and that shade will help your HVAC system by lowering the base temperature of the house overall.

“Supercool” at night

One way to boost an old HVAC system is to adjust how you use it. If you’re turning it off (or upping the thermostat) at night because it’s cooler, then cranking it up when the sun rises to torture you again, you’re actually making your system work harder and making the odds of success worse.

Instead, “supercool” the house by lowering the thermostat at night. Energy is usually cheaper overnight, so this won’t be as expensive as you might imagine. And if the house is cold at the start of the day, your HVAC will have a lot easier time keeping it that way as the temperature rises outside. Plus, it’s actually much better for your system to be on all the time than to turn it on and off depending on how you feel.

Seal everything

One way your house is working against your old HVAC unit is by leaking air. Check around doors and windows for drafts, and seal them up by re-caulking or adding weather stripping.

You should also check your ducts for leaks. You can use a smoke pencil, a candle, or just your hand to feel for air leaking out of exposed ducts, then seal those leaks with some good quality HVAC tape. If you can’t test the ducts yourself or suspect the leaks are more than some tape can handle, an HVAC professional can perform a thorough leak test and make repairs as needed.

Booster fans

One trick that works whether you’re trying to cool or heat your home is installing duct booster fans. These are just fans designed to sit in your registers, boosting the airflow. While booster fans won’t fix a broken or undersized system, they can get more cool air flowing into your rooms, which can have a significant positive effect. To limit the budget damage, you can concentrate their installation on the warmest rooms in your house, which are often the ones furthest away from the condenser unit.

There are a lot of factors that go into buying a house, but one of the most important is the neighborhood around it. In fact, for people who love their homes, the second-most listed reason is the neighborhood it’s in.

But one thing people don’t always consider when house hunting is that neighborhoods can change. This is often an organic process as families move in and out of the area, subtly shifting the vibe and traditions each time. But sometimes neighborhoods undergo huge, sudden swerves thanks to development plans and other factors that directly affect every aspect of an area. The bad news is that this means you could find yourself stuck with a house in an area you no longer love. The good news is that, with a little detective work, you can tell if a neighborhood is about to change before you buy a house there.

Empty lots

One easy, obvious sign that a neighborhood is on the verge of a major transformation? Empty lots—especially if they’re being actively monitored and worked on. Even if the lots have been empty for a long time and the locals have gotten used to them, there might be long-term plans to develop them into something. This is especially true of very large parcels (50 acres or more) that could easily become mixed-use or commercial developments in a rapidly growing area.

There are a few clues that an empty parcel of land will someday soon ruin your idyllic neighborhood:

• Environmental remediation. Look for signs indicating that a cleanup process is being conducted on the land to remove or seal in pollutants. These projects often take years and can seem dormant for months or years at a time, but indicate that a developer has plans for the land.

• Utility extension requests. If the owner of the land has plans to develop the lot, they may have requested permission to run sewer and water lines to the lot long ago. These requests are public records, so you can find them at your local Public Utilities Board or similar government office.

• Recent transactions. If someone has recently purchased empty lots in the area, it’s often a sign that a development plan is in motion. You (or your real estate agent) can check local sale records to see what’s happening nearby.

Check the plan

Something pretty obvious that a lot of people sleep on is the fact that most local governments have a master plan for future development, and it’s almost always a matter of public record. Taking a look at a master plan for your area will give you a warning about any large mixed-use or commercial developments that might be years away. It’s also often a good idea to check out the minutes of local city council meetings to see if any development plans have been debated recently. Something else to look for? Efforts to declare your neighborhood a historic district, which can change the tenor and livability of an area drastically.

Even if you don’t see any evidence of major changes to your specific neighborhood, something else to look for is companies moving into commercial or office space relatively nearby. An influx of large corporations setting up shop in new buildings nearby could trigger a future wave of new roads and mixed-use developments to support that population of commuting workers, and some of that development will no doubt impact your neighborhood.

Look at new road projects

Most people avoid buying a house next to a busy road. But what happens when a busy road moves near you? Local and state governments are constantly considering new road projects to alleviate traffic and provide access to new commercial developments. Even if your house is a few miles from the nearest highway, over time (and not as much time as you might imagine) those roads can creep closer and closer.

You can’t predict what might happen decades from now, but you usually can check to see if new road projects are already in the works. Your state’s Department of Transportation probably has a web page where road projects are listed and updated—New Jersey, for example, has information on several road repair and construction projects, complete with budgets and estimated completion dates. A few minutes on a page like this could spare you years of frustration as an overpass is built in your backyard.

Check the zoning laws

I mentioned checking out city council meeting minutes earlier. This is always a good move when considering moving into a new area, because it not only shows you what’s happened in the past, but also what local folks are considering for the future. Will local zoning laws change, permitting mixed-use properties in your neighborhood? Is someone asking for a variance so they can run a business next door to your house? Reading through some city council minutes can give you the warning you need.

You can also usually contact the planning or zoning departments directly to simply ask about pending changes that might impact your neighborhood.

Time the assessments

When my wife and I bought our house, we weren’t aware that the city hadn’t conducted a property revaluation (aka a tax reassessment) in 14 years. Ten years (!) later, the city finally announced a fresh assessment, and everyone in our neighborhood braced for a shocking increase to our property taxes.

If we’d done a little research before buying the house, we may have still gone ahead with the purchase, but we would have done so with the knowledge that our property taxes were artificially low. There’s no real standard for how often a municipality will reassess property taxes, but it typically happens every five to 10 years at most. If you look at the tax records for your potential neighborhood and see it hasn’t happened in more than five years, you should consider the real possibility that your taxes will shoot up shortly after you buy the place. This can impact your neighborhood if it drives residents—the neighbors who make the place so nice to live in—to move away and sell their homes to wealthier folks who might turn the place into a construction zone as they gut-renovate everything in sight.

Prime Day 2025 is over, and I don’t know about you, but I’m kind of exhausted. Lifehacker spent every moment of this years super-sized, two-days-longer sale hunting down the best discounts, deals, and bargains on the products we’ve actually bought ourselves, reviewed and loved, or had on our wishlists waiting for a price drop. And now it’s over, at least until Prime Big Deal Days in October.

Or is it? Though Prime Day officially ended yesterday, not all the deals did. Here are 17 items we previously recommended that you can still pick up at a discount. But act fast—these sales could end at any moment.

A phone-shaped e-reader with a cult following

I’ve been personally obsessed with the Boox Palma e-reader for about two years now. It has the form factor of a phone, the screen of a Kindle, and an open Android operating system that lets you download any reading apps you want to, so you aren’t tied to buying books from whichever retailer sold you the device. Carrying it with me alongside my iPhone has helped me read way more and doomscroll way less. This thing basically never goes on sale, so the current $30 discount is a relative bargain.

The OLED Nintendo Switch for $100 off, because who needs a Switch 2?

OK, I mean, I obviously need a Switch 2 (because Mario Kart World!), but I’m not getting one for a long while, considering I didn’t even buy the original Switch until 2021. Given the vast back catalogue of first-party and indie games, you could definitely keep playing the Switch OLED (the updated model with the larger, better screen) for years to come—and at $100 off, it’s a full $200 cheaper than its successor. You can also opt to get a bundle that comes with Mario Kart 8 for $25 more, which is pretty good considering you’re probably buying Mario Kart 8 anyway. (This is a Woot! offer, but given Amazon owns Woot!, I still think it counts as a Prime Day deal.)

A Meta Quest 3S, so you can see what VR gaming is all about

I’ve had a Meta Quest 2 for a few years, and I can best describe it as the coolest gadget I never use—gaming in VR is super fun and immersive, but the headset too heavy, the video quality is a bit fuzzy, and it makes my eyes hurt if I play for longer than 15 minutes. Lots of these problems would probably be solved by the Meta Quest 3S, which is lighter, has better video quality, and is supposed to be more comfortable overall. Lifehacker’s Stephen Johnson says it’s a smarter buy than the pricier Meta Quest 3, especially at $50 off.

The Microsoft Surface Pro combination laptop and tablet

Our tech reviewer David Nield gave this two-in-one device a glowing 4.5/5 review earlier this year, praising its features, suburb build, and battery life. All the more reasons to grab one at its lowest price yet—it’s $100 off, which will take you a long way toward getting a keyboard and stylus to go with it.

A MacBook Air that will last you for years

Apple may be doing too good a job with the MacBook Air lineup. I’m still rocking an M1 from 2020 and it works basically like new. I can only imagine how long I’d be able to use the new M4 MacBook Air, which now comes with 16GB of RAM standard. (Probably a lot longer than I care to contemplate in 2025.) Right now, you can get one for $150 off, making it one of our tech editor Michelle Ehrhardt’s top Prime Day picks.

The AirPods Pro, because…they’re the AirPods Pro, but 40% off

I probably don’t have to tell you that Apple AirPods Pro are a great buy if you’ve got an iPhone or are otherwise in the Apple ecosystem. They regularly feature on “best wireless headphones” lists, including ours, and now you can spend a lot less to get them—they’re 40% off, one of the biggest discounts I’ve seen on an Apple product.

Or the AirPods 4, if you aren’t made of money

In addition to Apple’s most crazy expensive AirPods, Amazon has a great discount on the latest non-AirPods 4, bringing them down to $89. Granted, that’s for the version without automatic noise cancellation (ANC), but it’s still a great price. (AirPods tend to hold their value a long time, and rarely go on a massive sale.) I bought these for my daughter for Christmas and paid $30 more, which is incidentally what the ANC version costs now. Instead, I got to enjoy my kid going “Oh, just the regular ones? Thanks, I guess.” (Just kidding, she was still mostly enthused.)

Or the Sony WF-1000XM5s, one of the best AirPods Pro alternatives

Look, maybe you don’t want any AirPods at all. I get it! (I’m a Beats Fit Pro man myself.) Well, maybe consider Sony’s beloved AirPods Pro competitor, the catchily named WF-1000XM5s. At $199, they’re $100 off, and everyone pretty much agrees they’re better than the Apple earbuds (except maybe the people who have convinced themselves that you have to buy the Apple earbuds).

A sub-$200 5G smartphone with a ton of features

Today’s flagship smartphones are so advanced, I’d wager most people never touch the lion’s share of their features and capabilities. Instead of stretching out the cost of a $1,000 Samsung over the course of a few years, you might find you’re just as happy with a budget pick—and the Motorola Moto G Power 5G has a shocking number of features for a device that costs just $175 (unlocked!), including a decent camera, a capable processor, and a battery that’ll last you 12 hours. Here’s your chance to get off the upgrade train and just…have a phone.

An iPad you won’t be terrified to give your kid

I used to be a “limited screen time” kind of parent, but then we had a pandemic, and now my life is a constant battle against YouTube, Roblox, and poor emotional regulation skills (and not just my own). If you too have a young child prone to, say, throwing their tablet at the ground when a game of Grow a Garden goes south, you should make sure they’re tossing an iPad that doesn’t cost $800. Which is to say, it’s a good time to pick up the entry-level 11-inch iPad, since you can get one for 20% off.

A ridiculously giant, easy-on-the-eyes e-ink notebook

If you dig the capabilities of an e-ink notebook like the Viwoods AiPaper but are looking for one with an absolutely massive screen, I really dig the Boox Note Max, with a 13.3-inch display to rival your laptop’s screen (read my review). It offers a comfortable, paper-like writing experience, a smooth stylus, and a crystal clear e-ink screen. Like the AiPaper, it has Google Play store support, but without making you jump through the hoops that other device does to get it working. It’s definitely pricey, retailing for nearly $700, but you can save $60 during Prime Day. Ten percent might not seem like a huge discount, but as I noted above, re: the Palma, 2, Boox devices basically never go on sale, so it’s a great time to buy.

A fistful of AirTags

AirTags are great for keeping track of stuff—I’ve got one in my car so I always remember where I parked, one attached to both sets of my car keys, and one for my Beats Fit Pro case, because I misplace it several times a day. I need a few more, so I’m getting some on a Prime Day discount: A pack of four is $65, down from $100, making them just $16 or so each—a bargain price for the peace of mind of knowing I’ll never have to ask my wife if she’s seem my earbuds again.

A big 4K TV for way less than you’d think

Last Prime Day I made it my mission to get a new TV that a) was at least 50 inches and b) cost less than $250. I grabbed a model from Insignia—Best Buy’s in-house brand, which is also sold at Amazon for some reason—that satisfied both requirements, and I’ve been pretty happy with it. If only I’d waited! This year I could’ve spent about $70 less and gotten all of that and 4K resolution! Alas: I’ll have to leave this $170, 50-inch, LED 4K Insignia set with Alexa integration for someone else to enjoy. (If you wanted to go bigger, a few larger sizes are discounted too.)

A possibly life-changing karaoke machine

I know—how can a karaoke machine change your life? Well, our own Stephen Johnson says the Ikarao Break X2 smart karaoke machine changed his, and who am I to question his lived experience? It does seem pretty cool, with an Android touchscreen tablet, two wireless microphones, audio output of up to 300W, and an input jack for an electric guitar so it works as a practice amp. And it’s $120 off! A cheap price to change your life.

A possibly life-changing GoPro Hero 12 camera

Wait, Steve also says this GoPro Hero 12 camera is his favorite tech gadget ever, and that getting one just might change your life. Which is it, Steve? The camera? The karaoke machine? What if you take a GoPro of yourself using the karaoke machine? Anyway, the camera does sound pretty awesome, and it’s $80 off.

A pro-level milk frother

I’ve written a bunch about my coffee obsession for Lifehacker, and highlighted the products and gadgets that fuel my caffeine habit, and yet somehow I’ve never acquired a milk frother I like. The little wand I got from IKEA is basically a novelty, and the add-on attached to the Nespresso I found on the street (thank you, Park Slope, Brooklyn stoop giveaway culture!) doesn’t exactly make the airiest milk clouds. So I’m sorely tempted by the Dreo All-in-1 BaristaMaker milk frother, another Allie recommendation (she gave it a glowing review).

Smart leak sensors that can help you stave off disaster

Last year while I was on a camping trip with my son I got a fun text from my wife, all about how our boiler decided to start shooting water everywhere. One $700 repair later, we decided to invest in some leak sensors so in the future, we’ll be alerted as soon as the water starts flowing in the basement (and hopefully before the steam starts shooting out of the radiators upstairs). Our smart home reviewer Amanda recommends this three-pack of sensors from Aqara, which work with a companion app so you can keep tabs on your biggest asset’s water issues from afar for 35% off.

When I’m not writing about all the coolest tech items and awesome gear on sale for Prime Day, I’m a musician—a terrible musician, but a musician nonetheless. And the Akai Professional MPK Mini MK3 MIDI keyboard is my go-to, must-have gear for making bad music.

It’s the choice of many bad musician, because it’s fairly inexpensive, and because this MIDI keyboard and Garage Band or FL Studios are all you need to fuel some bad music production and terrible beat-making of your own. Throw in a cheap USB microphone and you too can record diss tracks aimed at your then-10-year-old son and drawn from your lengthy Mario Kart rivalry.

Bad musicians used to have to rent whole studios to record terrible music, but no more: The Akai Pro only costs $83.99 ($79.79 for the red one, for some reason) right now. Amazon’s users have rated it 4.6 stars out of 5, and there are over 28,000 reviews. That’s a lot of bad musicians!* If you want to join them, hurry: The Prime Day sale is practically over.

Seriously though folks, it’s a great product that I mess around with just about every day: simple to use, with 25 velocity-sensing keys, drum pads, programmable dials for virtual synthesizer control, and way more. It’s everything you need for basic computer music recording.

*Akai Professional MPK Mini MK3 midi keyboards can also be used to make good music. Or so I have been told.

The GoPro Hero 12 camera is one of my all time favorite tech products, and it’s on sale for $279.99 in Best Buy’s July sales day event. Get it at this price quick, in the waning hours of Prime Day. This is a great deal, and not just for the $90 off, but because the GoPro Hero 12 is a truly amazing piece of technology. It’s not the most current GoPro, but it was literally life-changing for me: I like using it so much that I find myself going places and doing things that I wouldn’t have before, just to take some pictures or video. Which is a much better way to live than watching Netflix or whatever.

I probably wouldn’t bother using it so much if it was a hassle, but the GoPro Hero 12 is very easy to use. Below is the first video I shot with it, without reading any instructions of having any idea what I was doing:

While this isn’t the latest in the GoPro Hero line—that would be the also excellent Hero 13 —it’s still packed with so many features and uses I wouldn’t have space to list them all. It’s waterproof and practically indestructible, but still manages to create beautiful images and shoot 5.3K video—that’s 91% more resolution than 4K. Whether you want to shoot extreme sports or pretty flowers, the Go Pro Hero 12 does it all. And it’s so much smaller and more delightful to use than a phone.

I’ve been getting into camping lately, with a heavy focus on being as comfortable as possible. Everything is a give-and-take, however: You can’t have a luxurious camping experience while simultaneously packing light. This Jetboil MiniMo is a rare exception to the rule: It weighs less than a pound, boils two cups of water in about two minutes (much faster than my full-size camp stove), and the entire unit packs into the cook cup, so it barely takes up any room. It’s perfect for every kind of camping.

If you’re packing as lightly as possible because you’re “really” camping, this could be your entire stove—the flame adjust from simmering to boiling to make cooking easier. If you’re car-camping and bringing half of your possessions, it’s the perfect vessel to quickly and easily boil water to pour into your camping espresso maker without having to fire up the “real” stove. (Yes, I have a camping espresso maker. This one. It’s also on sale for Prime Day.) Anyway, the Jetboil MiniMo is on sale for $98.97. That’s a 40% savings on the list price of $164.95. But it’s only on sale for a few more hours.

If you’re on the fence, consider this selling point from the product page: “Low wall design for optimal spoon angle.” Are you even living if you’re cooking while tolerating a sub-optimal spoon angle?

The other day, I pointed readers to this Ring Floodlight Cam on sale for $100, and today I wanted to highlight a less-expensive option: This Blink video doorbell. It can be yours for $29.99, a steep drop from the list price of $69.99. But only if you act fast: Prime Day is nearly over.

While the Blink cam doesn’t have the bells-and-whistles of more expensive options, if you want a reliable, no-hassle video doorbell, and you don’t want to pay more than it costs to eat lunch, you can get it on Prime Day.

Instead of being hard-wired, the Blink camera comes with three Energizer lithium batteries and a Blink Sync Module that will keep your doorbell working for up to two years, so the set-up is a five-minute snap, after which you’ll have a door camera that detects motion and automatically records, even in the dark—it has night vision. You can also talk to whoever shows up through the Blink app, and if you connect it with an Alexa device like the Show 5, you can get a live view of your Uber driver on a separate screen.

If you hate how everything in a living room revolves around a TV, Samsung’s The Frame TV—which doubles as artwork—might be for you. And during Prime Day, it’s down to its lowest price ever: At around 50% off, you can get a 2024 55-inch The Frame TV for just under $800—that’s down from its regular price of $1,498.

Aesthetics, form factor, and a great TV

The Frame TV comes with a matte anti-reflection coating that reduces the glare and reflections. So even when it’s off, or in art mode, it looks like a painting. The Art Mode can cycle through famous paintings, or your own photos. The Frame TV comes with a frame that looks like a wooden framing for a picture (which itself is customizable, and easy to swap thanks to magnets). It’s also quite thin, so it can blend in with any kind of decor.

The TV part of it is also quite respectable. It supports 120Hz refresh rate for gaming, and has HDR10+ support and smart TV features. The 40W speakers support Dolby Atmos as well. The TV uses a OneConnect Box that features all the port connections and the power adopter in one box, which you can hide away in your cabinet. Only a single cable goes to the Frame TV, which is why it’s so thin at just about 1-inch.

The issue with recommending The Frame TV was always the price. At $1,500, it felt too expensive for the TV part. At $800, it’s much more reasonable.
