Google has finally updated the Nest Learning Thermostat, which it has been selling in 3rd Gen form (curr. $168 on Amazon) for almost a decade. Arriving alongside the Google TV Streamer, the Nest Learning Thermostat 4th Gen features an overhauled design that comes in black, silver or gold finishes. However, the new domed LCD screen practically hides these finishes altogether thanks to a 60% larger panel size.

Google releases new Nest Learning Thermostat for $279.99 with fresh design, Soli radar chip and Matter support

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Midrange phones are more competitive than ever, and their performance and battery life make us wonder why we spend $1,000+ on flagship devices. Phones under $500 used to include drab displays, awful build quality, and hardly any software support. But recently, even budget devices have featured OLED displays and years of software support. With so many high-quality options close in price, even a small discount can make a big difference.
