Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Prime deal knocks $420 off the 512GB model

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Prime deal knocks $420 off the 512GB model

Prime Day has arrived, and the Blink Mini 2K+ is now available for $27, a 60% discount off its original price of $69. This two-pack represents a significant savings of $42, equating to just under $14 per camera, making it an excellent value for home security. The Blink Mini 2K+ has consistently earned top marks in testing due to its balance of affordability and reliable performance.

This Prime Day deal features a major upgrade over its predecessor, with a resolution of 2K, 4x digital zoom, improved two-way talk with noise cancellation, person and vehicle detection, and the option for outdoor installation. These features address common issues in budget home security, such as low video quality, poor sound, and clunky interfaces.

The standout feature is the improved video clarity, thanks to the 2K resolution, which provides cleaner detail and allows for up to 4x digital zoom. This makes it easier to read details like text on packages or faces across a room, even in less-than-ideal lighting conditions. Additionally, the noise cancellation on the two-way talk ensures conversations sound clear and natural.

The device also utilizes an upgraded internal chip for computer vision directly on the camera, improving the accuracy of person and vehicle detection to filter out false motion triggers like cars passing by or curtains blowing in the wind.

Notably, the Blink Mini 2K+ is no longer limited to indoor use. An optional weather-resistant power adapter allows for mounting these cameras under eaves or on patios to monitor entryways. Setup is straightforward, requiring only two minutes to plug the camera into a wall socket and scan the QR code in the app to get it live. The Blink Mini 2K+ offers a steal of a deal at $27 for a two-pack, providing under $14 per unit.

With this deal, covering multiple rooms or front doors for a low cost becomes a smart and budget-friendly choice.

Shopify + Meta CAPI: Deduplicating Pixel and Server Events

Here's a ticket that shows up on every store that adds the Conversions API (CAPI): "Meta now reports almost double our purchases. Last month it matched Shopify." Nothing is wrong with Meta.

  • Meta deduplicates browser and server events with same eventname and eventid within 48 hours.
  • Use same ID generation method like order ID to prevent Meta from counting as two purchases.
  • Shopify stores add custom pixel in Settings Customer events to subscribe to Shopify's events.

The World's Most Analyzed Dataset (and the Custody Chain Nobody Maintained)

Hi Dev 👋 This was going to be for the DEV/Kaggle challenge , but it doesn't work on Kaggle because of constraints I only learned about while trying to do it.

  • Iris dataset is the most analyzed in data science.
  • Custody chain of iris dataset is inadequately maintained.
  • Author emphasizes authenticity and diligence in data analysis.

Which Test Metrics Actually Matter and Which Ones Are Vanity?

Your last engineering review probably included a code coverage number. Someone reported it, a chart trended up and to the right, and everyone nodded.

  • Coverage alone doesn't guarantee test quality or bug detection
  • Four metrics predict software quality: escaped defects, change failure rate, MTTR, flake rate
  • These metrics map directly to business outcomes like trust and downtime costs
