Ikea
It’s Easter Monday today,although COVID-19 probably squashed any egg hunt plans -- and most gatherings you had scheduled. For anyone adjusting to this new lockdown life,it’s stressful,tiring and the rest. If you’re looking for suggestions for how to spend the time outside those WFH hours,we updated our best games guides last week 00 and have suggestions for what you probably shouldn’t play right now.

IKEA's smart blinds are finally available to buy online

Google Pixel 4 drops to $449 at Best Buy
It's a massive discount.

Google’s Pixel 4 is already seeing the kind of steep discounts you’d normally expect toward the end of a smartphone’s lifecycle -- maybe because of those Pixel 4a rumors? Regardless,Best Buy is selling the flagship phone for $450 with same-day activation -- that’s a sizable $350 off the usual price. The larger Pixel 4 XL,meanwhile,has dropped a similar amount,to $550. You’ll have to pay an extra $50 if you’d rather not activate with a carrier,but that matches the still quite large discount you’ll find at the Google Store. Continue reading.
