Price match, expired: Target’s pulling the plug on price matching Amazon and Walmart as of July 28. So if you were banking on a retroactive refund after spotting your air fryer cheaper elsewhere, this is your final week. The company says it’s staying “competitive,” but more shoppers are clicking to cart elsewhere.

30TB
That’s the size of Seagate’s new monster hard drive, and yes, you can actually buy it. After 20 years of laser dreams, it’s finally here: 30TB for $600. In 2005, that cash got you 400GB, maybe. That’s 75x the space, same price and a lot fewer tangled cables.

That’s the retail price of a stolen Bobcat, and no, it’s not a house cat. These guys tried to snag it with a fake rental, a U-Haul and a $380 cash “deposit.” Too bad they didn’t know about the victim’s secret weapon: an Apple AirTag.

$1.8 million
Shaq’s price tag for promoting a crypto collapse. Unlike Brady and Curry, Big Diesel stayed on the hook thanks to a wild goose chase to serve him legal papers. He pitched FTX as legit, then claimed he didn’t get crypto at all. Now he’s settling, no guilt admitted, but the check clears just the same.
