Amazon Raises Echo, Kindle, Fire TV Prices by Up to 60% Amid Chip Costs

Amazon has hiked prices across its smart-home devices and Kindle line by as much as 60% due to higher memory and storage costs from ongoing component shortages. Examples include the Echo Dot jumping from $49.99 to $79.99, the Echo Show 11 from $219.99 to $249.99, the 16GB Kindle from $109.99 to $149.99, and the Kindle Paperwhite from $159.99 to $199.99; Fire TV Stick HD rose to about $39.99 and the Fire TV Stick 4K Max to $84.99. The eero routers also rose, Ring devices were largely unchanged, and the moves come as competitors like Roku have likewise raised prices. Amazon cites memory/storage cost increases as the driver for the shifts.

Cosmic echo uncovers a billion-sun gamma-ray burst

Astronomers spotted the fading radio afterglow of a gamma-ray burst that Earth never saw because its jet was not pointed toward us. Using the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) radio telescope, they traced ASKAP J005512-255834 to a distant, star-forming galaxy and identified it as the most convincing orphan-afterglow candidate yet, offering a template for finding similar high-energy explosions when the initial blast is missed.
