Right now, you can learn new tech skills entirely for free through one-month trial at Udacity. With no commitment required, it’s the perfect chance to develop some new talents.

Udacity is particularly great for learning new programming languages or brushing up on your existing talents, all entirely for free.

Udacity also offers up loads of courses for learning specific areas such as Artificial Intelligence in Business, Product Management, Business Analysis, and Marketing Analysis. It also tackles A.I. in-depth leading to fascinating insights into autonomous systems such as self-driving cars.

Entirely free, Udacity is great for if you want to develop new skills for a career change or development, or simply if you want to learn something new out of curiosity. While it’s entirely free for the first month, this is the ideal time to give it a whirl and see how you can expand your mind.

If you’re keen to expand your knowledge past the first month, Udacity works out to about $225 per month if you commit to a 3-month deal. With those kinds of prices to consider, you’re saving a lot by trying it out for free during the deal period. Grab it today before the offer ends. This is an opportunity that doesn’t come around often.

RayNeo Air 2s on custom Steam Deck - Briley Kenney Digital Trends_edited

With the holidays coming, I've been trying a spat of unique VR and AR devices. One pair I got my hands on, called the RayNeo Air 2s, basically gives you a portable 201-inch display that you can put on and use anytime, anywhere.

Chamberlain myQ Smart Garage Security Camera -- $27 $50 45% off

While this is ostensibly made for your garage, there's no reason the Chamberlain myQ Smart Garage can't work for other uses as well, especially if you don't need the highest quality of recording.
