No matter how long you’ve been driving, it’s never too late to learn better habits. Automatic is a little Bluetooth dongle that plugs into your car’s OBD-II port (found on almost any car made since 1996) and communicates with your phone to track driving habits, mileage, and engine problems. Best of all, if you’re in an accident, Automatic will automatically alert the authorities and call your family, no subscription required.
Automatic normally goes for $100 around the web, but today you can take a $20 discount. The device officially supports the iPhone 4S and newer, but you can join the Android beta group here as well.
Automatic Smart Driving Assistant | $80
Staples has had several deals offering $30 off tablets priced $150 or more, but today they’ve upped the ante to a $50 discount on tablets priced $250 or more. That eliminates the 16GB Nexus 7 from contention, but the 32GB model is fair game, in addition to any iPads they offer, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, and the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9, among others.
$50 off $250+ Tablets | Promo code 21671
Should you ever find yourself with ethernet, but no Wi-Fi, a travel router can fill a room with sweet, sweet wireless connectivity. Today on Amazon, pick up a slick TP-LINK model for just $15.
Though it’s not on sale, if you want a little more functionality, we recommend the Satechi Smart Travel Router, complete with several plugs and USB ports to charge your gadgets.
TP-LINK Wireless N Travel Router | $15
Amazon is raising the price of Amazon Prime by $20 per year, up to $99. Even at the new price, it’s still the best deal in tech, but non-members can lock in a year of the service at $79 if you sign up now.
Update: Turns out there is a way to get this price as a current subscriber, but it’s a little hacky. Just disable auto-renew on your account, purchase a gift subscription here, and schedule it to send to yourself on the day your current subscription lapses. [Via Slickdeals]
