The Corsair MP600 Pro LPX is a high-end PCIe 4.0 SSD with TLC flash memory and a DRAM cache, and I’d rank it right behind the (more expensive) Samsung 990 Pro and WD SN850x as the best gaming SSD on the market. Unlike those drives though, the MP600 Pro LPX comes with a heatsink by default and is often priced more aggressively, making it a great value choice that doesn’t sacrifice performance. Today this drive has dropped to £74.98 on Amazon UK, a historic low price that makes it easy to justify an SSD upgrade for your PC or PS5.
AN ENTREPENEUR has told how he makes £75 an HOUR in a bizarre job you’ve probably never heard of.
Trevor Hooton is a professional cuddler and runs Embrace Connections which offers punters hour-long hugging sessions.

Trevor – who refers to himself as Treasure – said he’s seen a boom in business for his cuddle therapy.
Trevor told The Mirror: “I built a business based on my passions for building human connections.
“Many people struggle to make those and that’s where I step in. It’s more than just cuddling – it’s giving people the things they need, whatever that might be.
“The parties have been great, and I think it’s a really great way to provide value to lots of people at once. I want it to have a really big impact on the world.
“I’ve done four parties so far and each one has been unique and special in its own way.
“We have a very mixed group – some people are single and unfamiliar of touch but want to develop comfort.”
Trevor offers an array of services, ranging from cuddle parties to connection coaching.
He also offers cuddle therapy, which is a one-on-one cuddle session.
Trevor said: “I’m challenging the unspoken rules of society and think by challenging the rules we can reach something better for ourselves.”
One attendee of Trevor’s sessions said it made him feel more honest with his feelings.
He said: “Stress can be hard to deal with without the support of another human being – so I wanted to try something a bit more intimate.
“It was personal issues, family issues and stress from study. Having someone to listen to you is nice.
“It’s hard to be open about my problems unless I have that trust with a person but cuddle therapy really helped to build that trust and made me feel more comfortable to talk about my issues.”
Another woman told how she charges £190 per hour to cuddle clients craving human touch.
With many of her clients having suffered trauma or abuse, Shoup cuddles, spoons and comforts her customers in platonic displays of affection to help combat symptoms of depression, loneliness and anxiety.
“Cuddle therapists are professionals that give access to platonic touch through boundaries of consent education for the purposes of comfort, validation, and alleviating loneliness,” Shoup, the Director of Development at Cuddlist, explained to The US Sun.
“We give access to platonic touch, but that doesn’t mean it’s mandated or expected. It’s just the access to it.
“I have lots of clients who are working through various stages of grief or trauma and actually touching isn’t something that we can do for quite a while until we work together for a long time,” she added.
According to Shoup, hugs increase the production of the love hormone oxytocin, which is known to help keep feelings of loneliness at bay.

If you missed the chance to buy the Echo Show 8 when it was discounted to $75 at the start of April, Amazon has once again reduced the smart display to that price. The $55 cut means the Echo Show 8 is only $5 more than it was during Black Friday last year. If you’ve been eyeing one of Amazon’s larger smart displays, the retailer has also reduced the price of the Echo Show 10 and Echo Show 15. You can get the company’s largest smart display for $214.98, down from $279.98. Meanwhile, the Echo Show 10 is currently priced at $185.
The Echo Show 8 is one of the best smart displays you can buy. While it’s a few years old now, the Show 8 offers a compelling mix of features for an affordable price. Its 8-inch, 1,280 x 800 resolution display is large enough to make viewing photos and taking part in video calls comfortable, but the Show 8’s screen isn’t so large the device will look out of place in your kitchen or bedroom. At the same time, the Show 8’s built-in speakers are powerful enough to fill a small room. And if you’re worried about privacy, the Show 8 ships with a physical camera shutter and mic mute button.
