Price is a big barrier for most people who’d like to try out smart glasses for gaming, watching movies, or using their computers. Many models are at $400 and up, but you can snag a refurbished pair of Viture’s Luma Pro USB-C smart glasses for about $271 with the code LONGWEEKEND at eBay. Each set is listed as being in “very good” condition, with “inconspicuous signs of use after being opened by users.” Every refurb purchase is a bit of a gamble versus buying new, but this purchase has a 30-day window for free returns and two years of warranty coverage via Allstate. Viture Luma Pro XR Glasses Where to Buy: $499.99 $271 at eBay (refurbished) Under $300 is a good price to pay for Viture’s midrange smart glasses. They have a 52-degree field of view, and support for up to 1080p resolution. One of the biggest selling points is their built-in diopter dials, letting you finely tune each lens to your vision. They help content look sharper than glasses that use software to simulate these kinds of visual adjustments, including Viture’s newer Beast model, as well as Xreal’s One and One Pro glasses. These smart glasses work well with the Steam Deck, along with other gaming handhelds, laptops, and tablets that can output video over USB-C. They don’t play nicely out of the box with a Nintendo Switch 2, but Viture’s Pro Mobile Dock enables support for the console. That will run you $129 at Amazon, but you can get a big discount on a refurbished model (using the same code LONGWEEKEND) at eBay that knocks it down to $79.20. Some other great deals to check out Nintendo’s official USB camera for the Switch 2 console is cheaper than ever at Best Buy. Normally $54.99, it’s now $29.99. That’s a price more in line with the camera’s limited feature set and passable video quality. In order to use it with GameChat on the console, you’ll need to be a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber. With it, you can video chat with friends, and have your video feed used in some fun ways in select games, like Mario Kart World and the new Star Fox. People who love puzzle games should head over to Humble to consider its latest bundle of Steam PC games. The “Perplexing Puzzles” bundle’s $10 tier includes eight games and some coupons, and it’s worth the cost just to get Viewfinder. The first-person title challenges you to shift perspectives using clever means (aligning photos to bridge gaps, for instance) to solve puzzles. The best part is that troceeds support The Trevor Project, a nonprofit that supports LGBTQ-identifying teenagers. It’s tough to find respectable gaming handhelds selling at good prices — let alone selling at all. (I’m looking at you, Steam Deck.) However, you can get the Asus ROG Xbox Ally for $499.99 during Best Buy’s Memorial Day sale, which is $100 off. While not the first-ever price cut on this model, it’s worth considering as a model that can run many games well. It has a seven-inch 120Hz refresh rate screen, and three months of Xbox Game Pass Premium is included with purchase. We weren’t impressed with it at launch, but updates since then have made it better. View the full article

A steel beam recovered from the World Trade Center arrived Tuesday at the Florida elementary school where then-President George W. Bush learned the United States was under attack on Sept. 11, 2001. The beam was brought to Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota as part of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation’s "Steel Across America" tour commemorating the upcoming 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks. Former White House Chief of Staff Andy Card, who informed Bush that a second plane had struck the World Trade Center, attended the ceremony. Bush was visiting a second-grade classroom at the school on the morning of Sept. 11, when Card approached the president and told him what had happened. "I walked up to the president," Card recalled during Tuesday’s ceremony. "I whispered into his ear, ‘A second plane hit the second tower, America is under attack.’" TUNNEL TO TOWERS ANNOUNCES STEEL ACROSS AMERICA TOUR TO MARK 25 YEARS SINCE 9/11 ATTACKS The moment, captured on live television, became one of the defining images of the Sept. 11 attacks and the early hours of the national crisis. Card returned to the campus Tuesday alongside former second-grade teacher Sandra Kay Daniels, whose classroom Bush was visiting when the attacks unfolded. "Just being on this campus and remembering what happened when I came and whispered in the president’s ear that America was under attack … it takes you right back to that day, the feelings, the emotion, the duty, the honor," Card said. NEW 9/11 MUSEUM EXHIBIT AIMS TO CONNECT YOUNGER AMERICANS TO THE ATTACKS THROUGH POWERFUL ARTIFACTS Daniels said the memories of that morning have stayed with her ever since. "That day changed not only Emma E. Booker Elementary School students and staff, but it changed the world, the community," Daniels said. "It’s an everyday thing for me," Daniels added. "I will never get away from that. I was with the president, and he was with me. That happened here at my school." GOP CONGRESSMAN REVEALS HOW HE LEARNED ABOUT 9/11 TERROR ATTACKS IN REMOTE ALASKA WILDERNESS Inside the school’s library, a section dedicated to Sept. 11 includes an original copy of "The Pet Goat," the book students were reading when Bush received the news. The Sarasota stop marked the seventh destination on the nationwide remembrance tour, which is transporting a steel beam from the World Trade Center to communities across the country ahead of next year’s 25th anniversary of the attacks. The ceremony included appearances from local officials, first responders and members of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which was founded in honor of FDNY firefighter Stephen Siller, who died responding to the attacks in New York City. TUNNEL TO TOWERS HONORS GOLD STAR FAMILIES ON VETERANS DAY: THE UNENDING SACRIFICE Former students who were inside the classroom that morning also returned to the school Tuesday, including Natalia Jones-Pinkney, who was seated just feet away from Bush during the reading lesson. "I don’t know if I understood at that time that that was really going on," Jones-Pinkney told FOX 13. "I was just excited that we were meeting the president." Now an adult with a second-grade daughter of her own, Jones-Pinkney said returning to the school underscored how deeply the events of that day shaped her life. "Being there, reading to the president, shaped our lives," she told the station. "That’s something we’ll never forget." The steel beam was later made available for attendees to approach and reflect upon as part of the memorial event honoring the victims and first responders killed in the Sept. 11 attacks.
