Ember’s high-tech smart mug has fallen to its lowest price to date

Warm beverages are a winter staple, particularly when the flu is making the rounds. Keeping your favorite drinks warm is a battle if you’re not one to chug; however, the Verge-favorite Ember Mug 2 lets you sip and savor your beverage of choice at the ideal temperature all day long. And right now, Amazon and Best Buy are selling the 14-ounce smart mug in select colors starting at an all-time low of $89.99 ($60 off). The Ember Mug 2 hides heaters in a stainless steel body to keep your drinks uniformly warm at any temperature you want — so long as that temperature is between 125 degrees to 145 degrees Fahrenheit. It can last up to 80 minutes per charge, but it also runs indefinitely if you set it on the included charging coaster, which has a configurable LED to indicate its charging status. You can also use Ember’s app on iOS or Android to set the temperature and create presets for your favorite drinks. Washing is a cinch, too, thanks to its IPX7 rating, which means you can dunk it in up to a meter of soapy water, with a scratch-resistant coating that should keep it looking neat. It’s not dishwasher safe, however.

Unless you’re an exceptionally heavy gamer, either should be enough to harbor your daily rotation of Series X / S games. Western Digital’s officially licensed expansion cards are one of two that are fast enough to play those games directly from your console’s storage, so it’s worth the investment if you’re tired of constantly redownloading or moving games around. * Prime members can get the Shargeek 170 Power Bank for $99 ($69 off) at Amazon and directly from Sharge, which is an all-time low. The 24,000mAh charger is doubly unique in appearance, with a prism-shaped exterior and a translucent window that exposes some of its electronics. That window also offers a clear view of the dot-matrix LED display that communicates charging status and capacity. It has two 140W USB-C Power Delivery 3.1 ports and a single USB-A port. All three are exposed, yet the charger bears an IP66 rating for protection against dust and water, making it an ideal option for those who frequent the great outdoors. * Now through February 28th, Woot is offering steep discounts on a host of popular games and quality accessories, including a number of first- and third-party Nintendo Switch titles. You can get the excellent Super Mario RPG for an all-time low of $29.99 (50 percent off), for example, along with Donkey Kong Country Returns HD for $44.99 ($15 off). 8BitDo’s Ultimate 3-mode Controller — which works wired on Xbox and wirelessly on Windows and mobile — is also down to $39.99 ($30 off) right now. It’s the newest version with Hall effect sticks and triggers, too, and ships with a charging dock.
