YouTube says the secret to success is not their algorithm, its your audience

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 23:08:30 +0000

Much of the talk at VidCon 2026 focused on how long-form horizontal content is at the forefront of rewiring the traditional Hollywood model. On a panel about convergence, Pocketwatch CEO Chris H. Williams declared, "If it works on YouTube, it'll work anywhere," pointing to The Besties' crossover success on Hulu and, soon, Amazon Fire TV Stick.

A recurring topic across panels was how streamers like Hulu, Amazon, and Tubi are recruiting creators, acquiring their YouTube libraries, or funding original content. But what does it take to make a video go viral on YouTube in 2026?

That was the question Vidcon attendees had in mind as they sat down for the panel titled Decoding the Algorithm: What Your Audience Actually Wants on YouTube. Presented by YouTube, this three-person panel featured YouTube Creator Liaison and Head of Editorial Rene Ritchie, YouTuber Katarina Mogus, and YouTube Senior Director of Growth and Discovery Todd Beaupré.

However, rather than offering a guideline on how to make the algorithm work for you, Beaupré rebuffed assumptions that creators have about it. Chief among them, Beaupré dismissed the idea that YouTube's algorithm punishes users for infrequent posting and says creators are not punished for trying new things.

"It really depends on what you come back with, and whether it's interesting or not." Beaupré said of gaps in posting, "We did a really deep study of millions of channels and looked at the time spent between uploads to see if there was a correlation at all between how long it was between your uploads and what the difference in views was before and after the break. We found virtually no relationship. And if anything, the longer the break, the more likely it was that somebody could come back with even more views."

No slides and few figures were presented at the panel. But Beaupré did present a provocative notion.

"Almost every channel has a click-through rate of less than 10% in their subscriptions. These are people who hit the red button when you ask them to subscribe," Beaupré said. "And yet, 90% of the time, they see your video, they're not going to click on [it]. This is normal."

He went on, "Some of your subscribers are going to see your video in the first few hours, and 90% of them aren't going to watch it. YouTube understands that. That's the same for many channels. So if you're thinking, like, 'Oh, my first 100 people, if they're not the right people that see it, is my video gonna die?' No, because we know that even among your biggest fans, it may not be the right time."

Beaupré's advice was ultimately that creators should worry more about appealing to their audience than to YouTube's algorithm. He said, "When you have a question about the algorithm, I encourage you to replace the word 'algorithm' in your question with 'audience.' How that's relevant here is that if you take a break, the algorithm isn't going to punish you. But the audience may have different feelings when you come back. If you've been gone for six months, maybe they've moved on to discover some new channels, right? They're still on YouTube. And so you may not be as top-of-mind for them as you were before. So, audience reactions do influence your distribution."

Audity credits her success to her muse and keeping things fun

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 19:07:00 +0000

Audrey Hopkins (aka Audity or AudityDraws) has grown a fan following by chasing her love of character design and not taking her art too seriously.

Her 13.2 million followers on TikTok revel over her imaginative mash-ups, like re-imagining Disney villains as Disney princesses or turning Bluey characters into human incarnations. But her greatest muse has been her husband, Richard Conley. She's drawn him as a merman, Sailor Moon, Handsome Squidward, and many more creative characters. All to the delight of her audience and Conley himself, who collaborated with her on an inspiration app, called Wanna Draw, which generates mash-up ideas for artists of all sorts.

As someone who has enjoyed Audity's art, mischievous sense of fun, and high-energy online persona, I was elated to sit down with her at VidCon 2026 to discuss her journey from character designer to a thriving content creator.

How did being a content creator start for you? Because you are an animator, you are a character designer. What made you be like, "I'm gonna take this independently online"?

So it's a weird story. Back in the day, when TikTok was first starting, they had these agencies that would go out, and they would find people to post more.

They would do a thing where they would pay you like 100 bucks a month to post every single day. Most people that were doing the program were just putting out kind of whatever. At the time, I was in between character design jobs. Before that, I had worked on different stuff, or like NBC, or things like that. I basically felt bad that my husband was the only one bringing in money. And I was like, "You know what, 100 bucks a month, that's a bit of groceries — that's something." So I started the program, but I took it more seriously. I was like, I'm actually gonna post my work and do like more fun stuff...

And also build your portfolio.

Yeah, exactly, exactly. And I never expected — it was like four months later, I'd hit a million followers. And I remember I got a call from somebody that was like, "Hey," — I'd done a comic book a while back, and they were like, — "We would love you to do a second one." I had to sit there and make a decision, like, "Do I go back to an actual job-job, or do I try to do this?"

I never thought I could do this. And seven years later, I'm still doing it.

And your husband's very involved too. How did he come into it?

Basically, my husband and I are constantly around each other because he works from home. Back when I first started filming, I remember he would say stuff sometimes, and I'd be like, "Oh no, don't talk, I'm filming something."

After a while, I was just like I'm not gonna keep telling him to stop, and I started just turning the camera [to him], whenever he would say something weird, which is often. And he's just been so supportive. When I started doing more art stuff in college, before even looking at TikTok, I was working at Pier One at the same time. And I remember I was so stressed out. He was like, "You know what, quit [Pier One]. I got this, I got us." And he's taken so much care of me and allowed me to do so much stuff.

How has imagining him in all these illustrated incarnations impacted how you view him, and how he views himself?

Actually, when we first started dating, he was like, "I always wondered if you draw me." And I'm like, "Oh, how you regret thinking that now!" But honestly, he's, I mean, is it weird to call him my muse? He really is!

Looking back, what was the first video that really took off that made you think, maybe I can do this full-time?

It might have been when I was doing my 50 states series, or my first time doing one of the fusion videos. Because my whole thing with art is I really firmly believe that art doesn't have to be taken so seriously.

When I was in college, I started out as a studio painter and a traditional artist. So like, your girl can do still lifes. But everyone else would be like, "My work represents the darkness of society and stuff." And I'd be like, "I drew this really, really hot lady — she's super cool!"

I kind of leaned into that with that kind of stuff. And with the fusion thing, I liked being able to just take like weird stuff and make this weird creature that was really cool, but didn't serve like a purpose.

So I think I think those types of videos, and that first one was like the first time it was like, "Whoa, okay." And I think that's why actually, [my husband] ended up building the [Wanna Draw] app that we have, which was so sweet. He literally never had done anything like that in his life before, and just went in like three months sitting at our kitchen table, learning and building that app. Yeah, he's still the only one that runs it.

That's very cool. So, what do you love about content creation?

Honestly, I think it's the fact that so many people who do art, like you make something cool, and you get to show it to, like, a few people, like your friends, or things like that, and then that's it.

I get to be like, "Hey, world, look at this weird thing I made!" And, it's so amazing to see so many other people out there who also like that. I think that's my favorite part, just getting to connect to so many different people and seeing how many different people are alike.

We all get so trapped in our little bubbles, and it's also great to have like close-knit community. But it's also just so wonderful to have like this wide network of people that are also just so similar, right?

It's also interesting because when people think about big animated shows, they know the people who created the show. But they don't necessarily know all the nuts and bolts people and all the creativity they're bringing to it. So it must be exciting to be able to be like, "I don't need someone else's project to be seen."

I will say there are times when I miss working on things with other people. There's another content creator, a friend of mine, he runs D&D campaigns and everything. His name is Sir Feffers, and I become like his primary character design stuff. So it is nice, I get a little taste of being able to still work like for somebody else.

Is there a big fish dream project that would make you step away for this from content creation for a little bit?

God, there are so many. It's too many. I really want to do character design work for a video game or something. Honestly, my real dream is to — do you know Dropout?

Yes! I've interviewed a lot of that team!

They're so cool. I love them so much, but Dimension 20, particularly. I want to draw the characters for a season of theirs.

Honestly, I've told them before, I'll do it for free. I'll do all the work for free, just let me do it. That's really the big thing. But at the same time, there are so many people who want to work for them, so I get it…Getting to meet Brennan Lee Mulligan for like a moment once was just like —

He's so lovely.

Oh my god, he's one of the coolest people.

Agreed. Where do you find the differences in working in more traditional spaces and working for the internet?

I think working for the internet is just — it's so chaotic. Because no Disney studio or anything out there is gonna be like, "You know, we really love it if you mix like Pennywise with Tinkerbell." But the internet's like, "We really want more of that, give us that."

It's like having the most chaotic boss in the world. Because the weirder I get, the happier they are. That's I think the biggest difference is like that, and being able to just freely do what you want.

I love that. So, a lot of people here at VidCon have been giving tips on what to do when you run out of ideas. What do you do when you hit, a creativity drought? When you're like, "I want to draw, but I don't know where to start."

For dealing with art block and burnout, I usually have like exercises that I do, like drawing the random shapes into faces, stuff that I like. I actually, eventually want to release a book that I make that's called Dealing with Art Block When You're a Character Designer. Because there's so much stuff that I've accumulated throughout the years that I do; tips and tricks. In my videos I can show a little bit of it, but I love to go more in depth.

But stuff like that, like just finding a new way to do something you're already doing, is like the best way to get past something like that. Because if you're doing the same thing constantly, constantly, constantly, it's gonna get stale, it's gonna get like you're not gonna want to do it, you're like, "I can't keep thinking of ideas for this." If you challenge yourself, you're like, "I'm gonna draw with my left hand or I'm only allowed to draw mice today," or something weird like that. You're gonna make more fun, interesting things, because sometimes having that barrier helps, you know?

It gives you a starting point to launch from.

Yeah, exactly.

Was there a point where you feel that you like made it as a content creator?

I'm still waiting for that point. I literally been talking to the other animators this entire VidCon, and it's funny. They'll all talk about, 'Yeah, back in the old days, like a few years ago." And I'm still feel like I'm new to this. I still feel like I'm making my way.

What advice would you give to following you starting out in content creation?

There's no one way to do it. Everybody's gonna have different advice and everything, but my whole thing is make stuff and do stuff that you like. Because you're just as much a viewer as everyone else out there. And if you like something and you enjoy something, I guarantee there are other people out there that like it as well, and enjoy it as well. And also just finding a fun way to do stuff.

Let's say you're somebody who really likes gaming, but you're like, "I wish there was somebody who did it like this." You'll be the person that does it like that. Go do it! Just try it!

Uber announces stronger background checks for drivers

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 17:51:39 +0000

Pressured by recent lawsuits claiming Uber didn't do enough to prevent sexual assault, the ride-sharing company has announced stricter background check requirements for drivers.

"After listening to a wide range of feedback, we’ve broadened the criteria for convictions that permanently disqualify someone from driving or delivering with Uber," the company wrote in a recent blog post. "Our goal is to build the safest platform."

The new review process expands on existing driver requirements, permanently banning drivers with convictions that "may be sexual in nature." The new rules also disqualify drivers with misdemeanor or felony stalking and strangulation-related offenses because they "can be predictors of future violence," Uber explains. The company says the changes were influenced by recommendations from domestic violence prevention experts and civil rights groups.

In addition, background checks will be run for the driver's entire lifetime (technically 99 years). Previously, Uber's third-party background checks providers only ran Social Security Number (SSN) traces for the previous seven years.

The company stated the new requirements will not retroactively apply to existing driver accounts "with no serious interpersonal safety-related complaints of any kind," and if their conviction is "more than 15 years old and was not sexual in nature." The checks are still rolling out to drivers nationwide.

Multiple New York Times investigations have revealed an industry-wide prevalence of violent altercations with ride-share drivers, perpetrated primarily against female riders. A December exposé alleged Uber's background check protocols still approved drivers with violent felony convictions.

In February, Uber was deemed partially liable for the rape and assault of a ride-share passenger, who alleged the company failed to implement safety provisions that could have prevented the assault. The case included internal documents showing her ride was flagged as a safety concern, but the app did not notify her or authorities. Uber was ordered to pay $8.5 million instead of the requested $144 million in damages.

Meta is pushing for social media exclusions in new child safety regulation

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 16:18:39 +0000

California is weighing new child-safety legislation that could fine social media companies millions of dollars — and Meta is attempting to dodge the astronomical fees from hundreds of pending lawsuits, anonymous insiders told Politico.

Meta lobbyists have approached lawmakers with suggested amendments that would carve out exceptions for social media platforms before the bill goes into a hearing set for Tuesday. The amendments include a pathway to avoid fines if companies implement a series of default child-safety settings, such as tools to disable autoplay, direct messaging restrictions, and explicit content moderation.

Many social media companies have already launched said features under minor accounts. Child safety advocates argue they don't do enough to protect children.

Meta's suggested changes include another safe harbor trade-off: Social media companies could avoid fines if their platforms include parental controls that let parents restrict screen time and monitor their kids' activity. Many experts argue that parental controls are equally ineffective at reducing childhood exposure to harmful content.

Without these amendments, the bill, known as AB 2, could result in fines of up to $1 million per child if a company is found liable for endangering young users through negligent product design.

In March, Meta lost a court case that ruled the platform, as well as its competitor Google, failed to fix platform design features that resulted in harm to minor mental health. Meta was separately ordered to pay $375 million by a New Mexico jury that ruled the platform was deceptively advertising its platform as safe for children.

Meta recently revamped its minor safety tools, including automatic age detection and global Teen Accounts with stricter content and communication controls.

Amid ongoing litigation, the company has denied all claims that its youth safety features are ineffective.

"Teen mental health is profoundly complex and cannot be linked to a single app. We will continue to defend ourselves vigorously as every case is different, and we remain confident in our record of protecting teens online," Meta said in a statement following the March ruling.

If you're shopping for some new Apple gadgets after Prime Day, you're still in luck. While some of Amazon's deals have sold out, we still have plentiful Apple deals at Walmart. And the timing couldn't be better because earlier this week, Apple raised some of its prices on account of the global RAM shortage. AirPods and Apple Watches are unaffected (for now), but all MacBooks and iPads are now at least $100 more expensive than they were before — even the budget MacBook Neo.

Some MacBooks and iPads are now sold out at Amazon (and other major retailers) following the price hikes. However, many models are still available there at steep discounts. They're not labeled as on sale anymore, but they're significantly cheaper than what the Apple Store is now charging. See: the entry-level iPad, the 11-inch M4 iPad Air, the 15-inch M5 MacBook Air, and the 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro.

That ordeal aside, I'm happy (relieved?) to say that the best Prime Day deals on Apple Watches, AirPods, and Apple accessories like AirTags are still holding pretty steady even after the sale. Keep in mind that they probably won't hang around for much longer. Procrastinate at your own risk.

Note: Products marked with a 🔥 are at their lowest-ever price.

Apple AirPods Max 2 🔥

$399 at Walmart
$549 Save $150

Apple's stylish over-ear headphones were updated in April with the H2 chip, bringing better noise cancellation and support for software features like Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, and Live Translation. They dropped down to just $399 — a 27% savings and their lowest price ever (by a lot). Amazon's stock has sold out at this price, but they're still holding on at Walmart in blue and purple. This is a shockingly good deal, considering the original AirPods Max took several years to hit the same price.

Compared to its predecessor, it has a more scratch-resistant display and a longer battery life. Choose from two different case and band combinations, but we're sorry to say the new space gray finish is not part of the $279 deal.

If you need a new laptop that's sleek, portable, and powerful, the latest MacBook Air is sooo easy to recommend. Its thin all-aluminum design (available in four colors) features a haptic touchpad, a 12MP webcam, and a punchy Liquid Retina display. Its M5 chip makes it faster than most Windows laptops in just about any scenario. Most models are out of stock on Amazon in the wake of Apple's price increases, but the starlight 15-inch base model is still in stock at its Prime Day price of $1,149.99 the day after the sale. That's $350 off its newly higher MSRP of $1,499, and $50 away from its record-low price from Memorial Day. You can snag the same deal at Costco sans membership.

Best after Prime Day AirTag deal

Apple AirTag (2nd Generation), 4-pack 🔥

$89 at Amazon
$99 Save $10

Here's our first-ever discount on the second-generation AirTag, Apple's recently updated Bluetooth tracker. It doesn't look any different from the original version that launched in 2021, but it has a louder speaker and a much wider range. Grab an $89 four-pack for the best value (normally $99) — that works out to $22.25 per AirTag. If you only need one or two, you'll pay $24 for them individually after Prime Day (typically $29). Best Buy and Walmart were matching both of those deals, FYI.

Prime Day is over, but Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are still $100 off at Amazon

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 15:55:52 +0000

SAVE $100: The Bose Ultra Open earbuds are on sale at Amazon after Prime Day for $199, down from the normal price of $299. Matching the record low price, that works out to a 33% discount.

Bose Ultra Open earbuds

$199 at Walmart
$299 Save $100

We're officially past Prime Day now. But if you know Amazon, then you know some of the best deals are still live. So, if you're in need of fresh earbuds, you're in luck.

As of June 27, the Bose Ultra Open earbuds are still on sale at Amazon for $199, a cool $100 discount from their usual price of $299. This matches the earbuds' record-low price at Amazon. Multiple Mashable reporters have tested these buds, and they've received a unanimous recommendation so far. In fact, this innovative product helped push open earbuds into the mainstream, inspiring a host of imitators. Like bone-conduction products, they also keep you in tune with your surroundings, which makes them popular with runners and athletes.

Open earbuds are a bit of a hybrid design. They're great for people who don't like the feel of something plugging their ears up but also don't like the feel of headphones. Instead, open earbuds sit on the outside of the ear, and according to Mashable's guide to the best open earbuds, the Bose Ultra Open are the best choice if you value comfort and sound.

RJ Andersen's review of the Bose Ultra Open earbuds explains that some of the highlights include excellent battery life, comfort, and sound quality that's better than expected.

Before this Prime Day price expires, snag the Bose Ultra Open earbuds for $199. They're the perfect fit for hot summer days.

The Sony WF-1000XM6 earbuds are some of the best I've tried, but even at their sale price, they're a hefty investment. While the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds don't quite match up in sound quality, they still have some of the best noise cancellation available, and are the most comfortable earbuds I've ever tried. For $249 (normally $299), or roughly $17 less, they're the deal to beat this Prime Day.

Bose was the near-undisputed champion of open earbuds with top-notch sound — that is, until the Sony LinkBuds Clip came along. In my head-to-head testing of the earbuds, I found that while the Bose Ultra Open buds can get louder (an important feature in open earbuds), the clarity and detail of the sound in the Sony buds surpassed that of the Bose. Even though their price discrepancy is only $20 this Prime Day, the sub-$200 price point on the Sony earbuds is hard to pass up.

In my head-to-head testing of the two pairs of earbuds, I found that while the Bose buds generally lean louder, the Sony earbuds have a more detailed sound profile, making for an overall superior listening experience. They also have a longer battery life, delivering nine hours per charge, while the Bose earbuds deliver seven.

Prime Day 2026 is officially in the rearview mirror, folks. The sale wrapped up at 2:59 a.m. ET on Friday, June 26, but if you thought you missed your chance, you're in luck.

As of this writing, even the top Prime Day deals on 65-inch OLED TVs are still live.

Note that Apple recently announced price increases on MacBooks and iPads, so taking advantage of these lingering lower prices is a smart move while you still can. (MacBooks are almost completely sold out at Amazon already.)

$419 Save $150

DJI's entire fleet of gadgets is still on sale, and this deal on its DJI Mini 3 is a standout. Amazon has it discounted to $269, or 36% off — its lowest price ever. (It was $30 more expensive during Amazon's Big Spring Sale in March.) This lightweight entry-level drone can shoot 4K video and fly for almost 40 minutes on a single charge.

Keep in mind that, thanks to the U.S. drone ban and DJI's problems with the FCC, the company's drones and new releases are sold through third-party sellers on Amazon. Not only that, but now that we're mostly through Prime Day, many DJI drones are out of stock.

Twitchs CEO says passive scrolling cant beat the community of live streaming

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 14:54:04 +0000

If there's one thing Twitch CEO Dan Clancy wants people to know about what makes Twitch special, it's that the live streaming site is all about community.

"Social media, interestingly, has become anti-social," Clancy said during a fireside chat titled, Why Live is the Future of Connection: From Passive Scrolling to Real Connection at VidCon 2026. "It started as a technology that connected us with people, but now sitting and swiping actually leaves you a little more isolated. It doesn't make you feel connected, and that's why live is coming on strong now."

So what is it about Twitch that fosters community? According to Clancy, the platform encourages people to stay with their streamer for longer than the seconds they might spend with someone on TikTok. When a streamer takes some time off, their audience notices their absence in a way they might not with a TikTok creator. And then there's the magic of reacting to the same content with the rest of the chat in real-time.

"People often think sports are about watching the world's best athletes. It's not about that at all. It's about community, right? It's about shared identity," he said during the talk. "Twitch actually is the same thing where the affinity that you're gathering around is a streamer, but then you form these bonds horizontally, so the same thing that happens in sports is exactly what happens on Twitch."

Still, creating community can come with its challenges.

Creator discoverability on Twitch is lacking, but that might change

Clancy encouraged creators to use more than one platform, noting that Twitch content often finds its way onto other platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

"Use short form for discovery [and] use long form to build an emotional connection and to earn a living," Clancy said during his talk.

Still, smaller- to midsize streamers have long struggled with a lack of discoverability on the platform itself, as it doesn't push algorithmic recommendations nearly as aggressively as YouTube or TikTok. Clancy told Mashable that's by design.

"If I said, I'm going to solve the discovery problem, the only way I could fully solve it is by taking them off your page, putting more stuff on your page to distract them, more stuff to get them away from you. And that is exactly what our creators don't want," Clancy said.

Still, he acknowledged a desire for some kind of fix. He shared that Twitch is working on bringing short-form content to the platform in a way that makes sense, by investing in a feature called Recaps. Clancy described it as an evolution of Twitch's existing story feature, intended to show users clips from recent streams that the streamer selects after going live.

"I think the thing that will benefit our creators the most is if the creators are able to easily create short form and viewers are watching it more on Twitch," he said to Mashbale.

How generative AI fits into the Twitch ecosystem

During his talk on stage, Clancy responded to concerns about AI, saying that while Twitch has a plan in place if AI channels run more rampant, for the time being, it's limited to a handful that are clearly identifiable as AI, and in his opinion, not engaging enough to hold a viewer's attention for the same amount of time as a human creator can.

When speaking to Mashable, Clancy also pointed to the ways AI can be leveraged to improve the viewer experience, saying a large language model could improve upon the existing AutoMod feature, which automatically flags and holds potentially inappropriate messages in a streamer's chat.

The creators of Twitch are growing beyond gamers

At its core, Twitch is an entertainment platform. While traditionally that was rooted in gaming, over the years it's become more and more common for artists, musicians, actors, and even animal sanctuaries to find a home on the platform. Clancy said the shift in the user base over time has been like "night and day."

"Now, when I meet an actor, musician, almost 70 percent of the time when they hear I'm the CEO of Twitch, they go, 'Oh, yeah, I've been thinking I should do something.'"

Safety concerns ahead of the next TwitchCon

Community, however, doesn't work without safety. Last year, Twitch faced backlash after streamer Emiru was assaulted at last year's TwitchCon. Prior to the convention's start, major streamers like Hasan Piker, Valkyrae, and QTCinderella said they would not be attending the conference due to safety concerns. Ahead of this year's conference, Clancy assured that Twitch has measures in place to prevent any future incidents.

"We've updated how we do meet and greets so that they're more structured. We don't allow signups on the day of; you have to reserve a spot. So that restricts it a little bit, but it restricts us in a way to protect the creators," he told Mashable. "So I feel very confident about where we're at right now, in terms of our ability to make sure something like that doesn't happen again."

Trump is threatening a 100% tariff on European goods. Again.

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 14:31:14 +0000

If you're starting to get a sense of déjà vu over Trump tariff headlines, you're not alone.

For the second time this month, President Donald Trump has threatened a 100 percent tariff on European goods to pressure foreign nations to back off on digital service taxes imposed on American tech companies operating overseas.

Trump posted the threat to Truth Social, writing:

Earlier this month, the President specifically threatened to impose tariffs on French wine imports unless the country dropped a standing 3 percent levy on local revenue generated by tech companies like Apple and Google. Trump reportedly delivered the threat directly to outgoing French President Emmanuel Macron before the international G7 summit.

So far, only Canada has caved to Trump's ongoing digital service tariff tactic, dropping their levy last year. But the Trump administration has since lost some strength in the global arena, experts say, following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to curb Trump's power to issue reciprocal tariffs.

Claude Mythos 5 is back, but only for a select group of US institutions

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 14:21:06 +0000

Two weeks after the Trump administration forced Anthropic to pull its most powerful AI models, the government has partially lifted the block with some strings attached.

The US government has allowed Anthropic to restore access to Claude Mythos 5 for more than 100 American companies and government agencies, according to Semafor, marking a significant de-escalation in a tense standoff between the Trump administration and one of the AI industry's most prominent labs.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick informed Anthropic in a letter Friday that adequate safeguards were in place to permit access for a defined list of trusted partners, Semafor reported. Lutnick also noted that Anthropic has committed to working with the government on future model protocols and releases.

The partial restoration comes roughly two weeks after the administration issued export controls ordering Anthropic to suspend all access to both Mythos 5 and Claude Fable 5 — its publicly available counterpart — for any foreign nationals, including Anthropic's own employees.

In our reporting on the pull-down, the government cited national security concerns without providing specifics. While Anthropic said it believed officials had been shown a method to jailbreak Fable 5, the company characterized the vulnerabilities as relatively minor and noted other models could surface the same issues.

Fable 5 remains offline for now. Semafor reports that people close to the talks say a path toward restoring it is taking shape, but no timeline has been confirmed.

Why we like it

While technically not a "deal" in the sense that you'll save money for Prime Day, this bundle is a good way to pick up both a Nintendo Switch 2 and the game of your choice out of a decent selection. You get the console itself, Joy-Con controllers, and games like Pokémon Pokopia, Mario Kart World, and Donkey Kong Bananza with the bundle, so you can get started playing right away. With a 7.9-inch LCD touch screen, three play modes, and backward compatibility with most Nintendo Switch titles, it's well worth picking up, especially given the price hike coming in September.

SAVE 18%: Hurry: You can still get the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones for $378 (down from $459.99) at Amazon. That's an 18% discount or $81.99 savings. On top of that, the previous gen Sony XM5 headphones are still marked down to the record price of $198.

Sony WH-1000XM6

$378 at Amazon
$459.99 Save $81.99

Prime Day 2026 officially wrapped up early Friday morning, but there are still a handful of lingering deals hanging around on everyday tech, including Fitbits, select kitchen appliances, and noise-cancelling headphones. If you missed the main event, you're in luck, because a few of the best price cuts managed to survive the post-sale cleanup.

In fact, you can grab the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones for $378 right now, down from $459.99. That's an 18% discount or $81.99 savings. They dropped to this price (their lowest price ever) on the very first day of the sale and, luckily for us, they're somehow still discounted for the weekend. And if that's too pricey for you, the previous-gen Sony XM5 headphones are still on sale for only $198, a record low.

When Mashable's Tech Editor, Timothy Beck Werth, reviewed these, he gave them a 4.5/5 rating and a Mashable Choice badge. He noted that the noise cancellation is so effective that turning it on instantly puts you in a "bubble of silence."

As for the hardware, Sony upgraded these with its new QN3 processor. They now feature 12 microphones just for active noise cancellation (a big jump from the eight in the previous model!) and six mics for phone calls. You'll still get 30 hours of playtime with ANC on, but unlike the XM5s, you can finally listen to music while you charge them.

I'm Mashable's tech editor, and I love my job. I get to test the coolest new tech products before anyone else, and I literally get paid to nerd out over the latest noise-cancelling headphones, smart glasses, robots, and laptops. On a more depressing note, all year long, I've been reporting on endless price hikes, but now that Prime Day 2026 has arrived, I can finally write about price drops.

Prime Day ended on Friday, June 26, but a surprising number of the best deals are still going strong — for now. So, I'm sharing all of the best Prime Day tech deals you still can grab over the post-Prime Day weekend.

The Mashable shopping team has been providing round-the-clock coverage throughout the Amazon summer sale. Only the very best Prime Day deals — the ones I'd recommend to friends and family or shop myself — make the cut. We don't just pick random Amazon deals. We use price tracking tools to separate the great deals from the pretenders. We also check competing sales at sites like Best Buy, Dyson, and Target to make sure we're directing you to the lowest price at any given moment.

So, with all this in mind, here are my favorite Prime Day tech deals of 2026 that are still live as of Saturday, June 27. I've personally tested many of these products, and I'm also leaning on recommendations from my colleagues on the Mashable tech and shopping teams.

Record-low prices on the latest Apple Watches

The latest generation of Apple Watches offered some big upgrades, and Prime Day delivered the best-ever deal on the Apple Watch Series 11. Even better, many of those deals are still live even though the Amazon sale has officially ended.

This smartwatch has a longer battery and other key upgrades over its predecessor, and our reviewer named it a Mashable Choice product. However, if you want to go all-out on the new Apple Watch Ultra 3, this premier fitness and sleep-tracking smartwatch is also on sale at an all-time low price.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is seeing a steeper discount than you might expect for a flagship smartphone that just came out three months ago. For $949.99, you can upgrade to this phenomenal suite of cameras and a processor that secured a better Geekbench 6 score than the iPhone 17 Pro Max's processor. No iPhone can compete with the S26 Ultra's Privacy Display, which shields your screen from nosy onlookers.

Save up to 50% on Bose headphones

Bose makes the most comfortable headphones in the world, according to both our readers and product testers. On the weekend folloing Prime Day, you can still save 50% on the Bose QuietComfort noise-cancelling headphones. While the brand's flagship QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) headphones are only $70 off, you can save big on some of the brand's other audio products.

Save $350 on the new MacBook Air

Updated on Friday, June 26 at 2:41 p.m. ET: As of this writing, Amazon's entire inventory of MacBooks is selling out, including the new M5 MacBook Air. We're leaving this laptop in this shopping guide in case more inventory becomes available, but it looks like you've missed your chance to score this deal.

I tested the M5 MacBook Air for Mashable when it was released earlier this year, and the longer I use it, the more I like it. If you've been waiting for Prime Day to buy this Apple laptop, then I have good news and bad news. The good news is the 15-inch model is still on sale at Amazon for $1,149 in select colors. The bad news is MacBooks are flying off shelves because of the impending price hike. (Thanks, RAMageddon.) This same base model M5 MacBook Air will soon be $1,499, so grab it while you can. The 13-inch option has already disappeared from Amazon (you can still grab it at Costco, no membership required).

The best Apple AirPods deals

Apple's AirPods deals weren't quite as impressive as we hoped overall (wishful thinking, I guess) this Prime Day, but we still recommend grabbing ~~the AirPods Max 2 headphones while they're down to a record-low $399 and~~ the AirPods Pro 3 while they're down to only $179 (just $10 shy of their record-low). Likewise, the AirPods 4 are still on sale for just $99 post-Prime Day.

Restock on memory products

Thanks to the global memory shortage, prices on SD cards, hard drives, and memory components have doubled, tripled, and quadrupled in 2026, with no end in sight. While deals on MicroSD cards and portable SSDs used to be a staple of Amazon sales, that's less true of late. Still, you can find some good deals on memory products at Amazon.

If you need a new MicroSD Express card for your Switch 2, a Samsung card is at its lowest price in months. And if you need a regular MicroSD card, you can pick up a 1TB Samsung card for $80 off. This is the first time that particular drive has gotten a discount.

LG C5 Series 65-inch OLED 4K Smart TV

For the final day of Prime Day, Amazon dropped prices by an extra $100 on this award-winning OLED TV. Previously, I'd been recommending Samsung's S90F OLED as the top TV deal of the event, but my calculus has changed. LG's C Series OLED TVs are famous for their incredibly crisp, vivid, and bright displays, and the 65-inch model has never been priced this low.

Nintendo Switch 2 Choose Your Game bundle

Technically, this isn't a Prime Day tech deal, as the new Nintendo Switch 2 Choose Your Game Bundle first launched a few weeks ago. But absent a compelling offer from Nintendo, this is the best Prime Day video game deal of the moment. This bundle lets you choose between three popular titles to bundle with the console. Remember: The Switch 2 is getting a price hike later this year, so don't miss your chance to save.

Bose Soundlink Flex speakers

Bose discounted its popular Soundlink Bluetooth speaker by as much as 34% for Prime Day, and deals are still live. I've personally tested this line of speakers, and I can vouch for them being loud, highly portable, and easy to use. Plus, they come in a wide range of colors. That doesn't affect the sound, obviously, but it's a nice touch.

Sony PlayStation Dual Sense Wireless Controller

We've been keeping a close eye on the Walmart summer sale, where select products from Lego, Beats, and Sony are cheaper than they are at Amazon. One of the standouts is this offer on the Sony PlayStation Dual Sense Wireless Controller, available for under $70. While it's not a huge discount, Prime Day PlayStation deals have been sorely lacking this year.

Walmart's summer sale lasts through the weekend, so you still have time to shop.

I've been recommending Samsung's famous art TVs, The Frame, for many years, and they keep getting better. For Prime Day 2026, you can get these cult-favorite, ultra-thin TVs on sale at Amazon for their lowest-ever price. And if you want to splurge on a Samsung OLED TV instead, you can still grab the brand's award-winning S90F OLED 65-inch TV for 29% off its list price.

Best Prime Day TV deals under $500

If a premium Samsung OLED TV isn't in your budget, I feel you. It's not in mine at the moment, either. However, despite all the price hikes we've seen in 2026, prices on 55- and 65-inch TVs keep getting lower, and not just during big sales like this.

For Prime Day 2026, grab the new Amazon Ember 55-inch 4-Series Fire TV, which comes with Amazon's new art mode. You can also score an insane price on the Hisense 65-inch E6 Series QLED 4K Fire TV.

So, if you want to enjoy Sony's premium sound and best-in-class active noise cancellation, you can pick up these headphones for under $200. You can also grab the recently released XM6 wireless earbuds for their lowest price ever.

If you really want to save, then head to Amazon-associated retailer Woot, where you can score a four-pack of the original AirTags 1 for $69.99 while supplies last, which they won't.

An answer to excessive screen time

Multiple Mashable writers and editors use Brick to reduce their screen time. It's a physical device that you tap your phone to, and it locks whichever apps and websites you select. You have to physically tap your phone to Brick again to unlock those apps. So, no more mindlessly selecting "remind me in 15 minutes." The device has helped us cut down our screen time, and it rarely goes on sale. So be sure to snag it for almost $16 off.

And for Prime Day, it's at an all-time low price. Of course, I know that $800+ price tag is still out of reach, which is why we also recommend the brand's Qrevo bot, which has nearly as much suction power and a much more reasonable price tag.

While it's not yet July, we're officially done with Prime Day. But like every Prime Day, Amazon has some great deals lingering around. They can be hard to find, but Mashable's shopping team is putting in extra hours this weekend to find the best leftover Prime Day deals. If you could use a budget-friendly fitness tracker, check out this deal.

As of June 27, the Fitbit Charge 6 (red band) is on sale for a record-low price at Amazon of $75.99, the day after Prime Day, down from the list price of $159.95. That's a 52% discount and cheaper than we saw yesterday. If you're not into the look of the red band, the black band is also on sale for a record-low of $85.45.

In terms of the best fitness tracker, Mashable rated the Fitbit Charge 6 as the best mid-range fitness tracker. However, with today's sale price, I'd argue it's downright affordable. While the price is low, the features aren't lacking. You get built-in GPS, a large AMOLED display, plentiful exercise modes, and compatibility with the Google Health app.

Speaking of the Google Health app, snag the Fitbit Charge 6 today, and it'll come with three months of free access to Google Premium Health. I've been using the refreshed Google Premium Health service when testing the new Fitbit Air, and I've come to love the features.

While it's on sale for a record low, upgrade to the Fitbit Charge 6. At this price, it's a no-brainer if you've been considering a fresh fitness tracker. But be warned, these post-Prime Day deals tend to disappear quickly, so shop soon.

Best Buy: Free 133-Piece Lego Star Wars Bo-Katan Set

Lego regularly runs make and take events, giving builders a rare opportunity to walk away with a custom mini-set that money literally cannot buy. We’ve covered a fair share of these freebies over the years, but this upcoming event is particularly exciting for fans of a galaxy far, far away.

On Saturday, June 27, Best Buy is hosting a Lego Star Wars in-store event where you can build and take home a Bo-Katan Lego Star Wars set for absolutely nothing, saving 100% on what would easily be a $10 to $15 collectible.

The event will run from 12-2 p.m. local time on June 27 at participating Best Buy locations (check locations here).

When you arrive, you’ll be handed the 133-piece character set and step-by-step instructions to assemble the legendary Mandalorian warrior. Once the build is complete, it's yours to keep. No purchase is necessary, and you don’t even need to show a Best Buy membership card to participate.

A 133-piece set is an incredibly generous offering for a free event. Usually, these store giveaways feature tiny, 50-piece micro-builds (like the N-1 Starfighter event we saw earlier this year).

It's important to note that these events are first-come, first-served. Quantities are strictly limited. If you turn up just before 2 p.m., expect to walk away empty-handed. We suggest arriving slightly before noon to secure your spot.

And no, you can't turn up with a trench coat and try to hoard five of them. It's a strict limit of one build per person.

Good luck to everyone planning to make the trek on June 27 — and may the brick-building Force be with you.

We started the weekend by spotting Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones for a better price than Prime Day. We were content with that, but there's more.

As of June 27, Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Gen) headphones are on sale for $369 at Amazon. That's $80 off and better than Prime Day. It's $10 better than Prime Day, to be exact. We're not sure why we're seeing multiple top headphones fall in price after Prime Day, but we're not unhappy about it.

It does raise legitimate questions about the validity of Prime Day as a whole, but we're not going to get into that right now. We're just going to focus on Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Gen) headphones at a great price. That's what really matters here.

In Mashable review of these headphones, Bethany Allard writes: "The second-generation Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones are a good choice for someone who wants all-day wear and has yet to buy into the QC Ultra line." Allard also notes that these are "The most comfortable headphones on the market."

Prime Day is over but you can still save up to $750 on MacBooks

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 11:44:57 +0000

The best Prime Day laptop deals at a glance:

Best MacBook deal

Apple MacBook Air, 15-inch (M5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD)

$1,149.99 (save $349.01)

Best windows laptop deal

Sad as it is, Prime Day 2026 is over. However, like every Prime Day event, there are still some deals that linger. If just today you've decided you need a laptop upgrade, you might still be luck for a nice discount.

The ongoing global RAM shortage has led most PC makers to raise their laptop prices this year. As of this week, that even includes Apple: All of its MacBooks are now at least $100 more expensive than they were at launch. (Goodbye, $599 MacBook Neo. We hardly knew ye.)

Mercifully, Amazon offered some sweet RAMageddon relief during its annual Prime Day sale, but now that it's over, we still have a few leftover sales. MacBooks win for the best discount, but you can also find a few Windows laptops on sale.

As Mashable's resident expert on all things laptops, I have to tell you that Amazon carries a much smaller selection of Windows laptops, gaming laptops, and Chromebooks than other major retailers — especially Best Buy, which happens to be running a competing Tech Fest sale this week. I've rounded up Amazon's most worth-it laptop deals below that are still hanging on.

FYI: Deals marked with a 🔥 have fallen to record-low prices.

Powered by the M5 chip, Apple's sleek MacBook Air is faster than any other Windows laptop at its price point (and even many that are way more expensive). Its overall build quality also smokes most of the competition: It comes equipped with a luxe haptic touchpad, a sharp Liquid Retina display, and 12MP webcam. The 15-inch base model just got price-bumped to $1,499, but Amazon is selling it for $1,149.99 right now — a 23% savings. If it sells out there, you can find the same deal at Costco (and it's open to non-members).

Still hanging on after Prime Day is Amazon's sale price on the Lenovo Slim 7i Aura Edition. Matching the lowest price we've ever seen at Amazon, the Lenovo Slim 7i is down to $999.99, which is a $300 savings compared to the normal price of $1,299.99. With a 14-inch OLED display, 16GB memory, and a major 1TB storage, the Lenovo can get up to 34 hours of battery life before it needs a recharge. Since it weighs about three pounds and has a slim 0.55-inch profile, it could make for a great work laptop that's also travel worthy. The same applies for students who carry their laptop to campus.

It's not supposed to be this way.

Prime Day is over, and most of the best deals are gone. In fact, almost everything is gone. If you're searching for best-ever deals on AirPods, MacBooks, DJI drones, and Kindles, you'll probably need to wait until the next Prime Day or even Black Friday.

But if you're shopping for new headphones, you've still got a chance.

As of June 27, Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones are on sale for $178.82 at Amazon. That's over $100 off the list price and better than Prime Day. These were listed for $189 throughout the sale. That was a good price, but you're actually being rewarded for missing out.

These headphones are for true audiophiles. They offer a smooth and reliable experience with Signature Sound, 42mm transducers, and aptX Adaptive that combine to deliver crystal-clear audio and deep, immersive music. They also give you the choice of Adaptive Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode, plus exceptional comfort and a long battery life of up to 60 hours. What's not to like?

How professional creators avoid content droughts

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Creators are expected to constantly be coming up with new content. But what to do when your well of ideas runs dry?

That was the topic at the Vidcon 2026 panel, Never Running Out of Ideas: How to Build a Content Strategy That Keeps Your Audience Hooked.

Moderated by television personality Shira Lazar, this panel brought together professional creators Anthpo and Siow Wei to discuss how they ideate, pick what to work on next, and whether what they've made is good enough to post online. (Alex Ojeda was billed, but did not ultimately attend.)

Anthpo: Ideation comes from practice

The American influencer is best known for concocting the viral Timothee Chalamet look-a-like contest and creating characters like Cheeseball Man and Kid with Crocs.

During the panel, he shared that he has a Google Doc filled with ideas, and also uses his phone's Notes app to scribble down any inspirations that come to mind while on the go. "I'd say ideation is a muscle," he mused. "The more you do it, the more your mind is constantly racing."

To that end, Anthpo said he uses flights as a space to create, working the ideation muscle. "I'll do [it] every plane ride I take," he explained. "I don't do anything other than write in my Notes app."

How do creators pick which idea is worth doing?

Siow Wei is a Malaysian content creator who was featured on Forbes 30 under 30 last year for the massive success she's had under the handle im_siowei. By creating an array of characters for family-friendly comedy videos, she's become one of Asia's biggest content creators.

However, she told the panel at VidCon she didn't set out to make kid-friendly comedy. When evaluating the data of how her videos were doing, it was that demographic where she was most thriving. Data is what drives her decisions as she builds her library and brand.

Anthpo noted he and Siow Wei come from different schools of thought on what to prioritize. For him, it's more about a gut feeling. "Once you have an idea, there's like two litmus tests," he said. "There's, like, the data side, which is super powerful. And then there's also, like, the emotional side." For him, he's excited when he comes up with something "very experimental," or that "feels [magical] and also executable."

He emphasized the importance of following your passion for an idea. Referencing the Rick Rubin book, The Creative Act, Anthpo paraphrased a piece of the author's advice, saying, "If you have a really great idea and you don't execute it, somebody else in the zeitgeist will do it. And I found that to be 100% true. If I'm like, 'That's a great idea,' and I don't do within the first six months, someone does it."

How do content creators know their work is good quality before they post?

Siow Wei uses WhatsApp to communicate with her team and test out jokes. Anthpo uses a group of friends whom he knows won't lie to spare his feelings.

"The meanest people in my life are by far my most valuable assets," he explained, "like the people that are just like, 'Yo, this video sucks, bro.' Those people are so valuable to me. I've got probably seven of them. If I send a video or an idea to them, and all seven of them are like 'that's good,' it always rips."

What do content creators do when they're running out of ideas?

Siow Wei has a collection of comedy characters, like Swaggy, Randy, Besty, Richy, and Billy. But she's always happy to expand her menagerie. "Okay, we have run out of content," she said, considering the scenario. "Okay, what's next? Let's create another character, there's more possibility that we can bring it into our content."

For Anthpo, he finds new ideas by trying something new.

"I've reinvented myself many times on the internet," he said. "I've been doing this for like 12 years now. I used to do sketch comedy. Then I was in a TikTok house. And then I made skits. And then I made college content, and then I [worked for Mr. Beast]. Then the past two years I've been doing these like anonymous stunts." He noted what he's doing recently is being called performance art, while he's been dubbed "dumb internet Banksy," and he's cool with that.

Anthpo champions not only taking risks, but also learning from your failures.

"I failed many, many, many, many, many times," he said, noting that failure can be a great teacher, providing "data" for how to improve.

What every creator should know — according to Anthpo and Siow Wei

Both agreed you should know about the purple horse (or cow). Anthpo explained this marketing concept to the audience. Essentially, if you see a horse along the side of the road, you might notice it. But you won't stop your trip to see it. However, if you see a purple horse, you'll stop your car to take a closer look.

Translated to the creator economy, you want to be the purple horse, the something special in the landscape that makes people stop and pay attention.

For Anthpo, he does that by chasing what excites him. "[What] I like to chop it down to is I like to delight people," he said. "Give them something they haven't seen before, or give them a feeling they want to consistently feel."

Siow Wei added: "Put that purple horse in the first three seconds [of your video]."

She explained how the unique way she drinks boba tea has hooked viewers, "so you're catching the attention," rather than getting lost in an endless scroll online.

Last but not least, both creators emphasized the importance of building a team you can trust. Anthpo put it succinctly, saying, "Be surrounded by people who are joyous and don't drag you down and are going to be kind, but also aren't afraid to be like, 'Yo, this video is trash.'"

We were treated to a wave of impressive deals on DJI drones over Prime Day. Seriously, almost every model was down to its best-ever price.

By now most content creators will be aware of the restrictions on DJI products in the U.S.. But it's important to note that buyers can still purchase and use drones that are already available through normal retailers. The new rules only impact future imports. Devices that are already in stock can still be sold, including the DJI Mini 5 Pro.

This was one of the few drones to not get a discount over Prime Day. And you could argue that it still hasn't, but we've been tracking the price of this drone for some time, and we can tell you with confidence that $1,099 is a decent deal. It has been listed for $1,599 for much of 2026, so you're getting good value for money with this list price.

This model is an ultra-light, palm-sized foldable drone that can fit into your pocket. It's small but mighty, delivering 42GB of internal storage, a 1-inch CMOS sensor that records 4K/60fps HDR video, and a 225° flexible gimbal that lets you take vertical shots and video from multiple angles.

That's not all: The nightscape omnidirectional obstacle sensor with forward-facing LiDAR helps detect obstacles, so you're investment shouldn't smash into the nearest tree. It also has an upgraded ActiveTrack 360° which keeps the subjects of your shot in frame. It's a content creators dream.

Forget Prime Day — get this DJI drone deal from Amazon this weekend.

This season of F1 is unlike any other. Every season of F1 has a number of fascinating storylines to follow, but due to a major set of regulation changes, there's so much uncertainty right now. And uncertainty can lead to exciting racing.

Lando Norris secured an incredible title victory on the final day of last season. Now the pressure is on McLaren to defend that title against a long list of talented drivers and motivated teams. Expect the likes of George Russell, Kimi Antonelli, Lando Norris, and Lewis Hamilton to challenge for race wins this season.

Global World Cup fans came to the U.S. for soccer. Now theyre taking over MLB stadiums.

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0000

As the 2026 FIFA World Cup moves across the United States, traveling fans have been filling their off days with a very American tourist activity: going to an MLB game.

From Fenway Park to Yankee Stadium, MLB stadiums are suddenly filling with bagpipes, kilts, Viking hats, flags, singing, and a new crop of baseball fans learning the game in real-time.

It all started on June 14, the day after Scotland beat Haiti 1-0 in Foxborough for its first World Cup win since 1990, when a pack of Scottish fans marched through Boston and into Fenway Park for a Red Sox-Rangers game that had already been planned as Scottish Heritage Night. Kismet!

Flocks of fans in kilts and Scotland jerseys packed sections of the ballpark, sang through the game, and brought such electric energy that Red Sox president Sam Kennedy later wrote to the Scottish Football Association, thanking the Tartan Army for turning Fenway into “a meeting point between two sporting cultures."

From there, the ballpark tour continued. With several days between Scotland’s World Cup matches, fans also made their way to Yankee Stadium on June 16, taking over part of the upper deck as the Yankees played the White Sox.

But, no, they didn't stop there.

June 22, ahead of Scotland’s World Cup match against Brazil, thousands of Scotland fans marched from Ball & Chain in Little Havana to loanDepot park for the Marlins’ game against the Texas Rangers.

Inside the ballpark, roughly 8,000 members of the Tartan Army were part of an announced crowd of 20,008. Starter Tyler Phillips called the atmosphere “unbelievable” in a post-game press conference and said, “I would have us paying those people to show up to the games.” (He may have been joking, but the Marlins ticket office should at least hear him out.) Cody Freeman was also awestruck.

Scotland is not the only fanbase bringing World Cup energy to MLB. On June 24, a group of Norway fans showed up at Citi Field for the Mets’ doubleheader against the Cubs, shortly after Norway’s 3-2 win over Senegal at MetLife Stadium helped send the team to the knockout stage for the first time since 1998.

The Norwegian fans turned part of the outfield seats red, wore Viking hats, waved flags, danced in the stands, and performed the now-viral “Viking Row” celebration in the bleachers. Mr. and Mrs. Met even joined in. We love the commitment.

Some World Cup teams are even leaning in. On June 18, England’s national team visited Kauffman Stadium during its World Cup stay in Kansas City, where manager Thomas Tuchel threw out the ceremonial first pitch before a Royals game. According to social media, it was a strike, for sure.

The Rangers, meanwhile, have capitalized on this new fanbase, building World Cup-themed promotions around the tournament, including fútbol-style jerseys, a global scarf giveaway, country flag patches, and a “Guide to Texas Baseball” for international visitors heading to Globe Life Field.

Baseball may not have been on every World Cup fan’s itinerary, but it has become one of the tournament’s best off-day surprises. It's awesome to see everyone having a good time at regular-season baseball games again, even if half the crowd is still figuring out what counts as a strike.

How to watch FIFA World Cup games today

Watch Panama vs. England

England scored an opening win against Croatia, which cast the Three Lions as serious contenders. But a frustrating draw against Ghana felt like a step back, so England are aiming to decisively beat Panama and get their World Cup dream back on track.

Live coverage will be on Fox and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Watch Croatia vs. Ghana

Croatia bounced back from the England loss to beat Panama 1-0 in their last game. A win against Ghana in this last group game would secure them second place in Group L and an automatic spot in the knockout stage. Can Luka Modric lead them to success? Or will Ghana hold firm as they did against England?

Live coverage will be on FS1 and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Watch Colombia vs. Portugal

Cristiano Ronaldo rediscovered his form in a 5-0 win over Uzbekistan, scoring two goals. Now Portugal must beat group leaders Colombia to win Group K overall. Ronaldo will also want to match GOAT rival Lionel Messi for number of goals scored at the tournament.

Live coverage will be on Fox and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Watch DR Congo vs. Uzbekistan

On paper this game should be a straightforward win for DR Congo, with the Central African squad hoping to advance to the knockout stage. But there are no guarantees at this level, and struggling Uzbekistan want to exit the tournament with a win.

Live coverage will be on FS1 and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Watch Jordan vs. Argentina

Few fans would predict Jordan to win over defending champions Argentina, particularly with Lionel Messi in goal-scoring form. Messi has scored five in two games and has already beaten the all-time World Cup goal scorer record. How many more will he add to his total against Jordan?

Live coverage will be on Fox and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Watch Algeria vs. Austria

There's not much between these teams. Both have won one, lost one so far, and they'e now battling for second place in Group J. Austria are probably the favorites here but anything can happen with the knockouts on the horizon.

Live coverage will be on FS1 and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Free when you switch to T-Mobile and bring your number on an Experience More or Experience Beyond plan.

If you've been keeping an eye on tech news this week, you probably saw the grim reality: Apple just jacked up prices across its iPad and Mac lineups due to soaring AI-driven chip costs. And with experts warning that smartphone price hikes are almost certainly next, this might be the time to get ahead and upgrade.

If you want to dodge the incoming price squeeze, T-Mobile has arrived with a stellar escape hatch.

T-Mobile has dropped a fresh batch of free iPhone deals. Here are our favorites this weekend:

Apple iPhone Air — free when you trade in your eligible phone on an Experience More or Experience Beyond plan.
Apple iPhone 17e — free when you port your number over from a competitor and activate a new line on almost any T-Mobile postpaid service plan.
Apple iPhone 17 — free when you trade in your eligible phone on an Experience More or Experience Beyond plan.
Apple iPhone 17 Pro — free when you switch to T-Mobile and bring your number on an Experience More or Experience Beyond plan.

T-Mobile isn't handing over these sleek devices out of the goodness of its heart. The retail cost of your new phone is offset by 24 consecutive monthly bill credits. Your monthly statement will show a standard charge for financing the phone, which is immediately balanced out by an equal credit to bring that charge to nothing.

You are signing up for a 24-month commitment with the network. If you decide to cancel your service, switch to another carrier, or try to upgrade to the iPhone 18 before those 24 months are up, the remaining unpaid balance on the phone's retail value will become due immediately.

You'll also have to cover the standard upfront taxes and a one-time $35 activation fee. But with Apple's prices actively trending upward, paying a small fee upfront to lock down the latest iPhone 17 for the next two years is one of the smartest financial moves you can make in the current tech landscape.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup sees out the final day of group games with Cristiano Ronaldo, as Portugal face Colombia in Group K.

For some fans Ronaldo is the absolute GOAT of this generation (Messi fans might disagree), but CR7 entered the World Cup with questions hanging over him — he'd failed to score in 10 games and Portugal only managed a draw in their opening group game against DR Congo.

Ronaldo then silenced the critics with two goals in a 5-0 win over Uzbekistan. But Colombia aren't interested in the Ronaldo storyline. The South American team have won both of their group games so far and are in fine form. They'll want to beat Portugal and win the group.

Watch NASAs next-generation moon rover crush an obstacle course

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0000

Today's Mars rovers typically drive at about 500 to 1,000 feet per hour — roughly the length of one to three football fields — and only for short stints at a time.

NASA engineers say they could go so much longer and faster if they could only think more for themselves.

A miniature prototype is already proving that point. On a recent test day, ERNEST, short for Exploration Rover for Navigating Extreme Sloped Terrain, rolled toward a pile of boulders that would stop Curiosity and Perseverance in their tracks. Instead of stalling or waiting for new instructions from controllers, it sized up the rocks, shifted its stance, and climbed straight over — no joystick from 200 million miles away necessary.

The robot, about four-feet long, looks a little like Wall-E or Johnny 5, with four mesh wheels in place of treads. Those wheels can lift and tilt, as if rising on tiptoes. ERNEST has already shown it can trundle about 16 miles across the Colorado desert in California. Engineers were hands-off during the excursion, mostly there to see how far the rover's new brain and body could take it. You can watch how it moves and navigates treacherous obstacles in the two videos below.

The space agency's next-generation of rovers will sense hazards, pick their own paths, manage their power and health, and keep driving without waiting for detailed instructions from Earth. Micromanaging from mission control often means the current rovers sit idle between communication windows. But AI and onboard autonomy could reduce that downtime, allowing the machines to travel faster and farther into new frontiers.

"Integrating artificial intelligence and autonomy software is the future of extraterrestrial rovers because it fundamentally overcomes the communication delays and communication resource constraints associated with space exploration," Ashish Goel, a research technologist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, told Mashable. "We have already seen that the Perseverance rover is able to drive significantly more distance than the Curiosity rover, despite having a similar mechanical design, primarily because of its ability to think and drive, and better autonomous driving capabilities in general."

NASA has not announced a mission that would use ERNEST directly, but the agency has been studying concepts for future long-range lunar rovers that would require much greater independence.

One concept, known as Endurance, envisions a rover capable of traveling more than 1,200 miles on the moon over a span of four years, collecting and delivering samples across the lunar surface. To hit that goal, the rover would need to cover 2.5 to 4 miles per Earth day — about what Perseverance does in a year — and keep moving even when Earth can't send new instructions.

That scale of driving creates three big problems for human operators. First, communication takes time and literal bandwidth. A rover can't wait around for engineers to approve every turn of the wheel if it needs to cross a continent's worth of craters. Second, the schedule can't afford daily hand‑holding. Mission planners talk about uplinks, the batches of commands NASA sends as radio signals to a rover, only every couple of weeks, not every day. Third, the rover must survive and stay productive through harsh swings in light and temperature, including long two-week stretches of lunar night.

To handle that, the team behind Endurance argues for true onboard autonomy, not just smarter cruise control, according to a paper from the 2025 IEEE Aerospace Conference. The rover must control its own route, power use, thermal limits, and health checks. It has to pick paths that meet science goals while steering clear of boulders, craters, and sand traps. When something goes wrong, it needs to diagnose at least some problems on its own.

"The frequency of anomalies," the authors wrote, "has to be sufficiently low to maximize the mean-distance between interruptions, i.e., the distance traversed before the rover has to stop and call home for help."

That's where AI and ERNEST come in. Engineers first built even smaller, half‑scale rovers and ran them through a sandbox full of artificial moondust. They tried 11 different ways to control the suspension before they arrived at the design. The prototype can squat, lean, or walk over obstacles and spread its weight when the ground looks soft.

To replace a human operator, the team turned to reinforcement learning, a type of AI where a robot learns by trial and error. JPL's Dynamics and Real‑Time Simulation Lab built a virtual world that mimics ERNEST's behavior on different slopes, surfaces, and rock fields. Engineers fed the simulator the data from real hardware tests, then virtually drove for thousands of hours.

After months of digital practice, they moved the new driving "brain" into the real rover and sent it into the lab's Mars Yard, a sort of obstacle course for extraterrestrial robots. There, ERNEST navigated sand ripples, rubble piles, steps, and steep slopes. It chose when to lift a wheel, when to crab crawl sideways, and when to pick a safer way around trouble.

But autonomy has to reach far beyond clever footwork. A rover needs sharp perception to navigate through some of the trickiest lighting conditions in the solar system. On the moon, for instance, sunlight can blast one side of a scene and plunge the rest into deep shadow. Dust and rock don't scatter light the way air does on Earth, so cameras can see both blinding glare and pitch dark in the same frame. That mix makes it hard to spot hazards and estimate distance.

To address those challenges, engineers want to give future rovers sharper "eyes" — better cameras, headlights, and laser 3D mapping — so the onboard AI has enough information to make informed steering decisions.

"As more capable computers become available for space missions, we can leverage the advancements in AI and autonomy to go farther, faster, and into more challenging environments, to unlock more scientific insights from our future planetary rovers," Goel said.

How to spot an AI chatbot on AdultFriendFinder

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0000

AdultFriendFinder is one of the wildest, most popular adult dating sites on the entire internet, and it has held that position for decades, but all of that attention comes with a price. The site is also notoriously plagued by bots, fake profiles, and scammers, and using it well requires both being aware of this problem and knowing how to navigate it.

Luckily, if you've got even a minimum of internet savvy in you, plus maybe some experience being targeted for online scams before ("once bitten, twice shy" and all), you should have no trouble avoiding the bad actors and safely enjoying all of the adult fun AFF has to offer, even in the era of agentic AI.

To help you protect yourself, here are the three most common AI chatbots you may encounter on AdultFriendFinder, including information about how to spot them and how to defuse them once you've identified them.

Credit: AdultFriendFinder

AdultFriendFinder

The promotional chatbot

By far the most common type of bot deployed on AFF is the promotional bot, and thankfully, these are also the most harmless, although that doesn't mean they can't also be annoying or a major waste of your time.

Promotional bots are designed to direct traffic to a specific location, which might be a Linktree, OnlyFans account, or even just an Instagram page. Most of the time, they function more as advertisements rather than scams. In other words, they directly declare their intentions ("Visit this page to see my private content") rather than hide it, but occasionally they take a page out of the scamming chatbot method (see below) and engage you in superficial conversation before urging you to go off the site with a link.

You're very unlikely to encounter promotional chatbots in one-on-one conversations through the AFF matchmaking system, since chatting here requires a paid account, but you'll run into them often in the more public areas, especially the live webcam shows.

Your best approach here is to ignore them entirely. If you do happen to find a performer who interests you, the minimum you should do before clicking the link is verify the destination address, since there's always the chance you'll be directed to a malicious site.

The scamming chatbot

Between its account verification system (known as ConfirmID) and the fact that all private, one-on-one chats on the site are confined to paying members, you're not likely to have a chatbot slide into your DMs, but that doesn't mean it's unheard of, either.

For scammers, AI chatbots are an easy way to scale up their fraudulent schemes, since outsourcing the phishing expeditions to AI enables them to potentially reach hundreds or even thousands more people. Worse still, as we're in the midst of widespread AI adoption, these chatbots are getting better and better, which makes them harder to recognize. They absolutely can hold a conversation and even crack jokes, so unlike ten or even five years ago, when most chatbots failed the Turing test within minutes of speaking with them. The latest models can happily hold a back-and-forth conversation for some time.

The two major red flags here, however, are reliable indicators that you're talking to a scammer. First, they will, at some point, attempt to create a sense of urgency, either by telling you a story or appealing to your sympathy. Next, they will ask you to click a link or take the conversation to a third-party chat program.

As soon as this happens, your best defense is to disengage. But if you're really uncertain, you can also ask the person to verify their identity, like with a phone or video call. If they're resistant, you can be assured they're actually a bot.

The fake streamer

Larger webcam sites have been taken over by fake streams, but even a smaller hosting platform like AFF isn't immune to the problem. The scam works in one of two ways: either the streamer uses pre-recorded videos, often of total strangers, to falsify their livestream, or else they use generative AI and a low-quality feed to pass off a fake stream as a real one.

In both cases, the real scam happens in the comment section, where the streamer or AI agent requests tips or subscriptions, or else tries to send the stream viewers to a third-party site for more content.

The two major tells for these types of scams are, first, the speed at which the "streamer" is able to type in chat, and second, the obvious disconnect between the actions of the "streamer" on webcam and the typing supposedly going on as they reply in the comment section.

AdultFriendFinder has two major camming areas — the Member Webcams section and the Pro Models section — and of the two, the latter is far more infiltrated by bots. Member Webcams rarely draw more than a dozen viewers, while professional feeds often attract hundreds, making them a much more lucrative target for scammers.

NYT Connections Sports Edition today: Hints and answers for June 27, 2026

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 02:00:00 +0000

Today's Connections: Sports Edition will be easier if you watch the NBA.

As we've shared in previous hints stories, this is a version of the popular New York Times word game that seeks to test the knowledge of sports fans.

Like the original Connections, the game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight, and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier — so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.

If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for the latest Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

What is Connections: Sports Edition?

The NYT's latest daily word game has launched in association with The Athletic, the New York Times property that provides the publication's sports coverage. The sports Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

Each puzzle features 16 words, and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake — players get up to four mistakes before the game ends.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

Here's a hint for today's Connections: Sports Edition categories

Want a hint about the categories without being told the categories? Then give these a try:

Yellow: GOAT
Green: NBA Champions
Blue: Women's legends
Purple: Sounds like an NFL player

Need a little extra help? Today's connections fall into the following categories:

NYT Pips hints, answers for June 27, 2026

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 02:00:00 +0000

Welcome to your guide to Pips, the latest game in the New York Times catalogue.

Released in August 2025, Pips puts a unique spin on dominoes, creating a fun single-player experience that could become your next daily gaming habit.

Currently, if you're stuck, the game only offers to reveal the entire puzzle, forcing you to move on to the next difficulty level and start over. However, we have you covered! Below are piecemeal answers that will serve as hints so that you can find your way through each difficulty level.

How to play Pips

If you've ever played dominoes, you'll have a passing familiarity with how Pips is played. As we've shared in our previous hints stories for Pips, the tiles, like dominoes, are placed vertically or horizontally and connect with each other. The main difference between a traditional game of dominoes and Pips is the color-coded conditions you have to address. The touching tiles don't necessarily have to match.

The conditions you have to meet are specific to the color-coded spaces. For example, if it provides a single number, every side of a tile in that space must add up to the number provided. It is possible — and common — for only half a tile to be within a color-coded space.

Here are common examples you'll run into across the difficulty levels:

Number: All the pips in this space must add up to the number.
Equal: Every domino half in this space must be the same number of pips.
Not Equal: Every domino half in this space must have a completely different number of pips.
Less than: Every domino half in this space must add up to less than the number.
Greater than: Every domino half in this space must add up to more than the number.

If an area does not have any color coding, it means there are no conditions on the portions of dominoes within those spaces.

Easy difficulty hints, answers for June 27 Pips

Equal (4): Everything in this space must be equal to 4. The answer is 4-4, placed horizontally; 4-3, placed vertically.

NYT Strands hints, answers for June 27, 2026

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 02:00:00 +0000

Today's NYT Strands hints are easy if you're a city dweller.

Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game, requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.

If you're feeling stuck or just don't have 10 or more minutes to figure out today's puzzle, we've got all the NYT Strands hints for today's puzzle you need to progress at your preferred pace.

Wordle today: Answer, hints for June 27, 2026

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 02:00:00 +0000

Today's Wordle answer should be easy to solve if you love to gossip.

If you just want to be told today's word, you can jump to the bottom of this article for today's Wordle solution revealed. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

Where did Wordle come from?

Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once.

Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.

What's the best Wordle starting word?

The best Wordle starting word is the one that speaks to you. But if you prefer to be strategic in your approach, we have a few ideas to help you pick a word that might help you find the solution faster. One tip is to select a word that includes at least two different vowels, plus some common consonants like S, T, R, or N.

What happened to the Wordle archive?

The entire archive of past Wordle puzzles was originally available for anyone to enjoy whenever they felt like it, but it was later taken down, with the website's creator stating it was done at the request of the New York Times. However, the New York Times then rolled out its own Wordle Archive, available only to NYT Games subscribers.

Is Wordle getting harder?

It might feel like Wordle is getting harder, but it actually isn't any more difficult than when it first began. You can turn on Wordle's Hard Mode if you're after more of a challenge, though.

Here's a subtle hint for today's Wordle answer:

Hurdle hints and answers for June 27, 2026

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 02:00:00 +0000

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.

There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.

An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.

The Acer Aspire 14 AI is a smaller version of our favorite budget Windows laptop.

Amazon's Prime Day deal on it looks extra-good in the wake of Apple's MacBook Neo price hike, according to our laptop tester Haley Henschel.

New price drop!

For the first three days of Prime Day, we've been recommending a great deal on the Samsung 65-inch S90F OLED 4K Smart TV, arguably the best TV available right now. However, after a surprise $100 price drop on the award-winning LG C5 Series OLED TV, we have a new top TV deal to recommend. LG's C Series OLED TVs have incredibly bright and crisp displays, and the 65-inch version has never been on sale for this price before. We wouldn't be surprised if this offer sells out.

Multiple Mashable team members have tested (and loved) the Oura Ring 4. While it's recently been replaced by the slightly thinner Oura Ring 5, we're big fans of this smart ring. One of our former reporters even wore this ring while training for and then running the New York City marathon. While prices vary based on the ring size, the Oura Ring 4 is starting at just $226 for Prime Day, a big discount from the $349 list price.

Best Prime Day gaming deal

Sony PlayStation Dual Sense Controller

$65.60 at Walmart
$74.99 Save $9.39

While it's not a huge discount, we have to call out this gaming deal from Walmart's Summer Sale. So far, we've seen a lot of interest in Prime Day PlayStation deals, but not a lot of actual PlayStation deals. That's probably because of all the recent price increases in the gaming world. So, take advantage of this discount on the popular PlayStation wireless controller, which is just $65.60 right now at Walmart.

If you're trying to limit your shopping to Amazon, you can also score a great deal on the previous-gen Sony INZONE H9 wireless gaming headset.

DJI Neo

$139 at Amazon
$199 Save $60

We've entered the final hours of Prime Day, but there are thousands of deals still live for Prime members. In particular, DJI drones have been getting some great discounts, including the DJI Neo 4K mini drone.

As of Friday, June 26 (the last day of the four-day shopping event), this DJI drone is down to its best-ever price, saving you $60 on the list price. If you're looking for a drone that's both affordable and beginner-friendly, this is the one for you.

Adding to its beginner-friendly appeal, this drone weighs just 135g, so it's compact enough to slip into a pocket or backpack and doesn't require FAA registration or Remote ID. It's also genuinely designed for easy use, and it can even take off and land directly from the palm of your hand at the press of a button, allowing you to fly without a traditional controller if you prefer. It supports multiple control methods, including smartphone, voice control, and remote controller compatibility, making it easy for beginners and more experienced users.

Other features include ultra-stabilized video and level-4 wind resistance to keep footage smooth, whether you're hiking, exploring outdoors, or filming on the move. You can capture beautiful 4K video at 30 frames per second, or use the 12MP camera to snap unbelievable aerial shots.

One last note: While we normally don't recommend buying products from unknown third-party sellers at Amazon, we make an exception for DJI products. That's because of the looming U.S. foreign drone ban, and DJI's ongoing issues securing FCC clearance for new products. You can still buy DJI drones, cameras, and pocket mics in the United States, but you have to go through third-party sellers. Fortunately, Prime members are protected by Amazon's simple and free returns.

Get this DJI drone deal in Amazon's Prime Day sale now.

Ive tested a dozen electric shavers, and my favorite is 40% off for Prime members

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 00:41:27 +0000

Best Prime Day Grooming Deal: In the closing hours of Amazon's Prime Day sale, you can save 40% on the Laifen Electric Shaver. Normally, $179.99, it's marked all the way down to $107.99 for a limited time.

Credit: Laifen

Laifen Waterproof Electric 3-Blade Razer

$107.99 at Amazon
$179.99 Save $72.00

Before I was Mashable's tech editor, I spent years reviewing grooming and skincare products. And in my career, I've tested at least a dozen electric shavers, and probably closer to two dozen. For Amazon Prime Day 2026, you can score a great deal on my favorite electric shaver, which comes from a brand you've probably never heard of.

Laifen first came onto our radar for making the best Dyson Supersonic hair dryer alternative, and the brand has been expanding its line of personal care and beauty tech gadgets in recent years. It now sells some impressive devices, and in my experience, the brand's products are durable, well-designed, and practical. In short, everything I want in a grooming gadget.

The Laifen 3-Blade Electric Shaver is normally a bit expensive to recommend at $179.99, which is why I have to highlight this Prime Day grooming deal. This waterproof shaver is currently discounted by 40%, bringing the price down to a much more reasonable $107.99. That beats its previous all-time low sale price by almost $40.

This product won me over for a lot of reasons. One, I think anything more than three blades is overkill. Two, I'm a sucker for transparent product designs, and I love how you can see into the device's motor. Three, it has a battery that seems to last forever. On top of all that, it's fully waterproof, compact enough for travel, and it fits my face and facial hair just right.

So, if you want to upgrade your electric shaver or finally ditch the disposables, this product gets my full recommendation as an experienced grooming writer. While I think of this as a men's grooming product, it would work just as well for women.

7 products that dropped in price on the last day of Prime Day (sort of rude, honestly)

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 00:12:43 +0000

Amazon Prime Day is ending today, and we're working around the clock to get you the biggest deals before it's all over. Remember: Amazon Prime Day 2026 runs until Friday, June 26 at 11:59 p.m. PT, and the best Prime Day deals are set to expire soon.

Prime Day is a four-day sale that sometimes feels a lot longer, but even on the very last day of the sale, Amazon was still dropping new discounts. Some popular products are now cheaper than they were on the first day of the sale. Is that entirely fair to people who purchased these items earlier in the sale? We'll let you answer that rhetorical question for yourself.

So, even as we enter the final hours of Amazon Prime Day 2026, there are still some deals coming in. Here are the best last-minute deals on products that dropped in price on the last day of the sale.

Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Maker

$89 at Amazon
$179 Save $90

Now $10 less

Amazon has discounted pretty much the entire line of Nespresso appliances for Prime Day, including deals on Nespresso pods. Previously on sale for $99, this popular countertop kitchen gadget was the subject of a Friday lightning deal, which dropped the price by an additional $10. So, good news for last-minute shoppers, and not-so-good news for early birds.

Honorable mention: Ninja Slushi offer at Walmart

Ninja Slushi

$179.99 at Walmart
$399.99 Save $220

Now $20 less at Walmart

So this one isn't an Amazon Prime deal, but there are a ton of retailers that, not-so-coincidentally, are hosting their own summer sales at the moment. Amazon's $199.99 deal on the Ninja Slushi frozen drink maker proved extremely popular at the beginning of the sale, so much so that it quickly sold out. However, yesterday, we noticed that Walmart is now selling this kitchen appliance for $179.99, even less than the SharkNinja online store. This Mashable-tested appliance is a lot of fun in the summer, when you can use it to whip up frozen margs.

Soundcore P30i

$23.69 at Amazon

Why we like it

The Soundcore P30i earbuds fall well within a budget price but don't skimp out on features. As a Prime Day treat, Amazon has them on sale for only $23.69 in all colorways, down from the list price of $49.99 at Soundcore.

According to Mashable's list of the best budget earbuds, the Soundcore P30i have the most impressive sound for an option under $50 (now under $25). "The active noise cancellation on them is impressive for their price, able to block out the bustle of busy streets or the noisy gym," wrote Mashable Shopping Reporters Bethany Allard and Samantha Mangino.

Today's the last day of Amazon Prime Day, and as always, it's a practical time to save on tech, home appliances, and back-to-school gear before the event ends tonight.

Amazon dropped prices on plenty of great items like noise-cancelling headphones, Apple Watches, and portable power stations earlier this week, but the most urgent discounts are happening right now as the clock winds down. If you're sticking to a budget this summer or shopping for an affordable gift, the annual Amazon sale still has a solid selection of options that cost under $50.

We'll continue to update this list until the event officially wraps up tonight. For now, here are the best Prime Day deals that cost less than $50.

Best Amazon Echo deal

Amazon Echo Spot

$79.99 at Amazon

Why we like it

When it comes to choosing an Amazon Echo device, the Echo Spot is our top pick for a smart alarm clock. While spending $80 on a smart speaker might feel steep, Amazon just dropped the price another $5 for the final hours of Prime Day, bringing it down to a much more comfortable $39.99.

The Echo Spot is easy to set up out of the box and features customizable clock faces and sounds. Its compact size also makes it a practical fit for most nightstands.

Best headphones deal

JLab JBuds Lux ANC

$41.99 at Amazon
$79.98 Save $37.99

Why we like it

The JLab JBuds Lux ANC have earned several nods from Mashable this year, including our top pick for best budget headphones, the best noise-cancelling budget pick for flying, and the top budget option for students. Amazon just dropped the price even further to $41.99 for the final hours of the sale.

In addition to active noise cancellation, they offer solid battery life with up to 70 hours of total playtime, or about 40 hours with ANC turned on. They're also available in several different colorways.

Best kitchen deal

Ninja Fit Compact Personal Blender

$48.98 at Amazon
$69.99 Save $21.01

Why we like it

Ninja makes a variety of exceptional kitchen appliances, but if you're short on counter space, the Ninja Fit compact personal blender might be the best option. Use it to whip up a daily smoothie, a weekend frozen margarita, or a dessert chocolate milkshake. The Ninja blender comes with a 700W motor base, two 16-ounce Ninja cups, and lids that are perfect for taking your blend on the go.

With Prime Day going on from June 23 through 26, we're looking out for all the best home and kitchen deals, and Ninja has some standout picks right now.

Throughout the last few hours of Prime Day, you can save over $100 on Ninja appliances. The big stuff like the Ninja Creami and Slushi are up for grabs as well air fryers and other options. Here are the best Prime Day deals on Ninja appliances.

$219.99 Save $50

If you love ice cream, this is a must-buy, especially if you're seeking the classic hand-scooped texture you'd get at an ice cream parlor. Mashable shopping reporter Samantha Mangino took the Ninja Creami for a test drive and loved the results. Load up your frozen treat with your favorite mix-ins and toppings, then freeze, spin, and voila! You've got a dish of homemade ice cream with your own favorite flavors within. It's the perfect addition to the hot summer we've been having.

$219.99 Save $50.04

Mashable reporters love this glass air fryer. While most air fryers use copious amounts of plastic, Ninja's cult-favorite Crispi air fryer uses a glass basket. This has the added bonus of letting you keep an eye on your cook, so you never have to worry about burning your veggies or chicken tenders. For a few more hours, Prime members can grab this popular Ninja appliance for 23% off.

The Ninja Slushi Prime Day deal was so popular that it sold out in about 48 hours. However, you can still buy this popular frozen drink maker at Walmart, which is actually beating the price that was available at Amazon. Even better — Walmart's sale lasts through the weekend, so you have a little more time to shop. On the fence? Check out our review of this Ninja appliance.

Testing Kindles and e-readers is my job, but it's also my passion. I use my Kindle Paperwhite every day — unless I'm testing a new e-reader — and it's accompanied me on many a summer adventure. So, while I spend a lot of time convincing Mashable readers to buy my favorite e-readers, I also track the best times to buy one.

Today is the final day of Amazon Prime Day 2026, and Kindle deals are holding strong. Several models have dropped to record-low prices, including the newer Kindle Scribes. Plus, Amazon is currently offering promotions on Kindle Unlimited, Audible subscriptions, and Kindle books, so you can load up your new device for less.

So TL;DR, if you're eyeing a Kindle, now's the time to buy. Here are the best e-reader and audiobook deals to shop before the sale wraps up tonight. And if you're not looking for Kindle deals, check out our Prime Day hub for our full coverage of the sale.

Amazon Kindle

$84.99 at Amazon
$109.99 Save $25

Why we like it

The base Kindle remains the best starter Kindle for people who are new to e-readers and don't yet have a massive digital library. While the most basic Kindle didn't drop to its all-time low price for Prime Day (it previously reached $79.99), it still has a $25 discount that brings the price down to $84.99. Considering how long Amazon re-readers last, that's a great price for a device that will last you many years to come.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition

$144.99 at Amazon
$199.99 Save $55

Why we like it

My absolute favorite Prime Day Kindle deal is on the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition. It's the e-reader that I use every day, and it's currently on sale for $144.99. That makes it cheaper than the Paperwhite at full price, but it also makes it the same price as the currently on sale Paperwhite without ads.

However, the Signature Edition is far more bang for your buck as it comes with twice the storage, an auto-adjusting front light, and wireless charging. It's an exceptional deal and the device's new lowest price ever.

Best Kindle subscription deal

3 Months of Kindle Unlimited

$0 at Amazon
$36 Save $36

Why we like it

If you're buying a new e-reader, you need something to read on it. Right now, Amazon is offering three months of Kindle Unlimited for free. This subscription gives you unlimited access to millions of digital titles, magazines, and audiobooks. Since it normally costs $11.99 per month, this deal saves you roughly $36. Just keep in mind that it'll auto-renew at full price after the three months are up if you don't cancel.

Best audiobook subscription deal

3-Month of Audible Subscription + $20 Audible Credit

$0 at Audible
$26.97 Save $26.97

Why we like it

If you're more of a listener than a reader, Audible is matching the Kindle Unlimited deal by offering three months free to Prime members. Not only do you get to pick one audiobook to keep each month, but Amazon is also throwing in a bonus $20 Audible credit to sweeten the deal. It auto-renews at $8.99 per month after the trial, but you can cancel anytime before then. This offer is valid through July 5.

How do Kindle prices compare to previous sales?

Having tracked Kindle prices for years, I have a pretty good sense of how much Amazon's e-readers cost on sale. So, how are Kindle deals this Prime Day?

We tracked the prices on the Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite over the past four sales to predict this years prices. Credit: Mashable

The Kindle Paperwhite's lowest price ever is $124.99, which the device dropped to during Black Friday, Prime Big Deals Days, and of course, last year's Prime Day. This year it's back down to $124.99. The Signature Edition, on the other hand, reached a new low of $144.99, just $20 more for a boatload of extra features.

The deal I'm most disappointed in is the one for the basic Kindle, which previously dropped to $79.99. This Prime Day, it's $5 more for $84.99. New deals this Prime Day include the latest Kindle Scribe and Scribe Colorsoft, both getting their first price drops since being released.

What makes a "good" Prime Day deal can get pretty subjective. Are we going off the recency of an item's release? Its position on the scale of niche to universally usable? The frequency with which an item goes on sale at all? Probably a mix of all three. One foolproof way to find the best Prime Day deals is to look at pricing history: If an item has never been cheaper than it is right now, that's inarguably a good Prime Day deal.

With the help of trusty Amazon price tracker camelcamelcamel, we're vetting the best Prime Day deals from big brands like Apple, Sony, Oura, and Amazon itself to bring you a list of the most popular products that are actually at record-low prices. Some are prices we've only ever seen during Black Friday, some beat what we saw during Black Friday — all are at risk of disappearing before the end of Prime Day on June 26.

Fun fact: 2026 is the first Prime Day season that we have a Walmart version of camelcamelcamel. Use CamelMart to compare Walmart's price history during its Summer Deals event, live now through June 28.

Oura Ring 4

$214.70 at Amazon
$349 Save $134.30

Read Mashable's full review of the Oura Ring 4.

The new Oura Ring 5 was released just in time for Prime Day, but it's not on sale. Instead, we want to direct your attention to our reigning pick for the best smart ring: The Oura Ring 4. The silver version has dropped to a new record-low price of $214 at Amazon, down more than $130 from its original $349. That's followed by three other colors on sale for $226 and the gold option on sale for $259. Prime members can order the Oura Ring sizing kit for just $8.49.

The Oura Ring 4 is super slim and comfortable, and doesn't look much different than any other minimalist band that you could add to your lineup. For such a small tracker, the Oura Ring draws quite a comprehensive picture of your health. It tracks daily metrics like steps and sleep, plus longer-term analysis of stress levels, chronotype, and cardiovascular health.

Lego Imperial Star Destroyer

Lego Imperial Star Destroyer

$111.99
$159.99 Save $48.00

One of the most exciting Prime Day Lego deals is the Lego Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer set. The hype is partially related to the rarity of this price drop — we've only seen it once before, during Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2025 — and partially related to the rarity of an included mini-figure. Cal Kestis is one of the seven mini-figs included in this set, and as of June 2026, isn't available in any other sets. He is going for between $40 and $60 by himself on eBay, if that tells you anything.

Sony WH-1000XM5

$198 at Amazon
$278 Save $80

Read Mashable's full review of the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones.

If you've been trying to decide between the Sony WH-1000XM5 and WH-1000XM6, think of it this way: This Prime Day, buying two pairs of Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones for $198 each would barely cost more than a single pair of WH-1000XM6 headphones (on sale for $378). That's how low this new record low is — a full 50 percent off from the 1000XM5's original $399.99.

Though the WH-1000XM5s are a few years old at this point, they're still a really solid (and really attractive) pair of noise-canceling headphones. You'll get a ton of premium equalizer settings and great sound quality overall, plus up to 30 hours of battery life.

Dyson Supersonic Nural

Dyson Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer (Amber Silk)

$327.49 at Amazon
$449.99 Save $122.50

No need to find a Dyson Supersonic dupe when the most advanced Dyson hair dryer itself has fallen to a new record-low price. At $329.99, you can score the Dyson Supersonic Nural (in Amber Silk) for just $10 more than the regular Dyson Supersonic's sale price.

The Supersonic Nural comes with a carrying case and four attachments: a wave and curl diffuser, flyaway attachment, wide-tooth comb, gentle air attachment, and styling concentrator. Compared to the regular Supersonic, the Nural features smart upgrades like automatic temperature lowering near the scalp, automatic airflow pause when set down on the counter, and attachment learning. The Nural will remember the air and temperature settings that you like to use and adjust accordingly when you swap attachments.

Samsung The Frame

Samsung 65-inch The Frame QLED 4K Art TV

$997.99 at Amazon
$1,497.99 Save $500

Most sizes of the 2025 version of The Frame are down to record-low pricing, but the 65-inch model is largest you can get without topping $1,000. In terms of the best art TVs, we've named The Frame as the option with the best balance of color, brightness, and budget. And now, it's even more budget-friendly.

Your $500 savings will more than cover Samsung's $5/month Art Store subscription for a while. Choose from more than 5,000 pieces of art, including the ultra-recognizable beauties from The Met, MoMA, and the Van Gogh Museum. The Frame can also display your personal photos, putting the 8 x 10s hung in the same room to shame.

Kindle Paperwhite

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2024)

$159.99 at Amazon

Read Mashable's full review of the 2024 Kindle Paperwhite.

Our resident e-reading expert and recent BookCon attendee, Samantha Mangino, has tested a thick stack of e-readers, from Amazon's top models to Kindle alternatives from Kobo and DuRoBo. She wouldn't hesitate to recommend the 2024 Kindle Paperwhite over the others, even at full price — so it's just the cherry on top that this beloved Kindle is $35 cheaper today. We saw this record-low price during Black Friday, but not during Amazon's Big Spring Sale in March.

This Kindle deal pairs nicely with Amazon's Prime Day Kindle Unlimited offer: three months for free.

The list of Amazon devices on sale during Amazon's own sale event feels never-ending. The $9.99 Fire TV Stick stands out no matter how mindlessly you're scrolling by the Echos and Kindles on sale. A sly promo code tacked onto the listing brings the most budget-friendly Fire Stick from $40 down to just 10 bucks. We've only ever seen that price once before, during Black Friday 2025. The Fire TV Stick 4K Select was a top item purchased by Mashable readers back then, and it's one of the most popular Prime Day deals among Mashable readers this week.

Shark Slushi

$179.99 at Walmart
$249.99 Save $70

Read Mashable's full review of the Ninja Slushi.

The $100 Prime Day discount on the original Ninja Slushi is so good that it sold out at Amazon before the second day of Prime Day. However, we can still use the listing to see that $199.99 is the lowest price on this 88-ounce Slushi model. Walmart even has a version of this frozen drink maker for just $179.99, beating all other retailers, including SharkNinja itself.

Luckily, you can still find the Slushi for $199.99 at retailers like Target, Best Buy, and the SharkNinja website (this is where the most color options are, like the Soft Sage option pictured above). Not a bad price to pay for on-demand frozen drinks on an otherwise hot, boring summer day — no ice needed. Senior shopping reporter Leah Stodart uses hers for fun cocktails and protein shakes alike, and notes that it takes up much less counter space than the new Ninja Slushi Twist.

Apple Watch Series 11

Apple Watch Series 11 (42 mm, GPS)

$399 Save $100

Read Mashable's full review of the Apple Watch Series 11.

We don't always recommend upgrading to the newest version of an Apple product just because it's the newest version. But the Apple Watch Series 11 has enough upgrades that we genuinely think it's worth it, especially now that the 42 mm model has dropped well below $300.

Mashable's Stan Schroeder was so impressed with the Series 11 experience that his review is "perhaps the easiest review he's ever had." The big deal here is the battery life: The Apple Watch Series 11 can easily last for a day and a half on one charge, beating the moody battery life of the Series 10 by several hours. Plus, there's a new Sleep Score feature.

Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete

$1,344.99 at Amazon
$1,699.99 Save $355

Read Mashable's full review of the Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete.

Up until June 23, the Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete had been sitting at an early Prime Day price of $1,459.99 (already a record-low price in itself). No one would have been surprised if that was the cheapest this Dreame model would go this summer. But for the official start of Prime Day, $115 more dollars have been shaved off of the best robot vacuum mop combo of 2026.

Really, the biggest downside of the X60 Max Ultra Complete had been its steep $1,699.99 MSRP — resident robot vacuum expert Leah Stodart quite literally said that it "sucks that it's so expensive" in the headline of her review. $1,344.99 is much more in line with the expected premium price tag of other flagship robot vacuums. If you're picky about cleaning, this is the most thorough robot vacuum for carpet cleaning and corner mopping that you'll find.

Read Mashable's full review of the Sony PS-LX3BT Wireless Bluetooth Turntable.

The new Sony Bluetooth turntable was just released this spring, and so we weren't expecting it to get a big discount for Prime Day. So, we were pleasantly surprised when Amazon dropped prices on this wireless record player by a full $100.

In her review, Mashable reporter Haley Henschel called this the best turntable for beginners, and it's a solid option for vinyl collectors who aren't ready to invest thousands of dollars in hi-fi listening equipment.

We were happy to see this award-winning OLED TV drop to $1,199.99 when Prime Day started. However, Amazon dropped a surprise $100 discount on this TV for the final day of the event, and we're not complaining.

The LG C Series is probably the most award-winning line of TVs in the world. These OLEDs are famed for their incredibly crisp displays, deep blacks, and vibrant colors. And its $1,099 price is a new record low.

The final day of Prime Day is officially here (yes, Amazon bumped the official sale up to June this year), and it's my pleasure, as well as journalistic duty, to give you the deets on where to find the best sex toy deals.

As I've noted in years past, buying sex toys on Amazon is a gamble. If you don't know what to look for, you could end up with something that does more harm than good (think porous jelly materials or chemical-laden vibrators). On top of that, Amazon isn't allowed to promote sex toys on Prime Day the way it does for TVs and air fryers, which means you have to dig to find the discounts.

Luckily, you have me to do the research for you. To be transparent, while the official sale is live, the best sex toy deals right now aren't actually on Amazon — they're hiding at competing sales from trusted retailers and brands like Lovehoney, LELO, Bellesa Boutique, and Hello Nancy.

Happy shopping!

Best Amazon Prime Day sex toy deal so far

Tracy's Dog OG Lick

$29.99 at Amazon
$39.99 Save $10.00

Why we like it

This year, the pickings on Amazon are slim, but Tracy's Dog is almost always marked down. It's one of my favorite sex toy brands for people who crave intense clitoral stimulation but aren't willing to pay more than $50. This is one of the only times I feel confident saying you'll get more bang for your buck.

Right now, you can get Tracy's Dog OG Lick (also known as the Juicy Clitoral Licking Vibrator) for $29.99 at Amazon. It doesn't have a "Prime Day deal" badge or even a "discount" listed, but $29.99 is a good deal. For context, it normally retails for $45.99 on the official Tracy's Dog website, so you're saving 35% by grabbing it on Amazon instead.

The OG Lick includes a remote and has seven licking modes and 10 vibration patterns. It's also waterproof and super easy to use hands-free (I actually love using mine while I'm giving my partner head; it's fun for everyone involved). Note: This is a "licking" vibrator; if you want suction, I recommend buying the OG Sucking Vibrator (which isn't available on Amazon for some reason).

Erogenous Ecstasy bundle

$97.35 at Smile Makers Collection
$129.80 Save $32.45

Why we like it

I just discovered the brand Smile Makers Collection about a year ago (even though it was founded in 2011), but it's quickly become one of my faves to recommend for so many reasons. Mainly because these toys were built with the female anatomy in mind (for sex toys, I know, revolutionary!). The brand even launched its own sex program (Vulva Talks) in 2019 and has gotten its expert-backed products onto mainstream shelves at Sephora, Ulta, and more this past year.

The Smile Makers Collection offers a no-frills way to reach an orgasm. It's straight to the point in its marketing, and the products are effective.

Right now, all vibe bundles are 30% off, but I highly recommend getting the Erogenous Ecstasy bundle. It's on sale for $97.35, down from $129.80 (save $32.45), and includes The Firefighter (which I recommended in my best sex toys roundup) and The French Lover. Both of these toys are for the girlies with pelvic pain who just want to have fun again. The clitoral stimulation is soft and yet powerful enough to get the job done over and over again. I have both of these toys, so I know!

Aura Pleasure Accessory

$135 at Mila
$179.99 Save $44.99

Why we like it

The Aura is unlike most sex toys I've tested. It's a four-in-one personal massager (yes, I own this too! But I just got it, so it's not in my roundup just yet). It features a heating function that ranges from 113 to 122ºF, a massage function that uses little rollers to mimic the feeling of fingers making a soft circular motion, four vibration modes, and six customizable suction levels. It covers almost all the bases for external stimulation (you'll need a separate dildo for penetration, though).

Aside from the patent-pending design (it was co-designed with the lead engineer behind the Dyson Airwrap!), Mila's branding is definitely giving rhode vibes. The company approaches sexual health and wellness as skincare — even its lube is sleek, and it applies as a mist, which I really love (most lubes are so messy!).

"Mila is building the first comprehensive cosmetics line for intimate skin — products designed not just to function, but to actively care for the skin down there the way we'd expect from a facial routine," Kim Aviv, the founder of Mila, told me in an email. "Intimate care, reframed as skincare."

Right now, you can get the Aura Pleasure Accessory for $135, down from $179.99 (saving you $44.99).

You've probably got a 3D printer on one of your wishlists somewhere. You've just been waiting for the price drop. Now that it's Prime Day, it's prime time to snag one at a reasonable price. These machines rarely see steep discounts the rest of the year, so Amazon's big sale event is one of the few times you'll see prices that might make you consider finally snagging one.

In addition to some of our favorites from brands like Elegoo, we've also found Bambu Lab Prime Day deals that are still available in the final hours of the sale. So, take advantage of these offers on budget 3D printers, with entry-level options priced low enough to make buying a 3D printer feel a lot more accessible.

But rather than send you digging through Amazon's deal listings, we've pulled together the 3D printer deals that are actually worth your cash. Here's what to grab before Prime Day comes to an end.

Elegoo Centauri Carbon 3D Printer

$299.98 at Amazon
$359.99 Save $60.01

Why we like it

This beginner-friendly 3D printer is a zippy option that can achieve up to 500 mm/s print speeds and 20,000 mm/s acceleration, which means it can churn out projects surprisingly quickly. It has a full auto-calibration cycle as well, so you don't have to spend time learning how to do what might end up being frustrating or mundane tasks on your own. The result is strong, lightweight parts that are also heat-resistant. That means the resulting parts are perfect for cars, drones, and other similar options.

Mashable reviewer Adam Doud found it a "nice, contained, all-in-one solution" for those looking to get into the space.

Bambu Lab P1S with AMS

$499.99 at Amazon
$549 Save $49.01

Why we like it

This Bambu Labs favorite combines Kevlar and thick insulation to manufacture strong, solid products and parts. It has a 1-clip quick swap nozzle, full-auto calibration, and an automatic material system (AMS) that can swap between different spools mid-print. That means you can get multi-material printing as well as filament backup for a smoother overall print experience. The multiple-spool setup is an important addition with this model, and its sale price makes it well worth grabbing while it's still discounted. Being able to quickly swap colors is a highly underrated feature you won't know you've been missing until you have it.

Why we like it

This is a great (and affordable) option for anyone looking to get into 3D printing. It uses resin for its creation, with a 4K resolution that makes for crispy creations. Each layers cure in just under 3 seconds as well, so whether you're using a second machine to whip up some extra detailed miniatures for a campaign or you're testing the 3D printing waters, this is a smart way to kill both birds with one stone. And it's a much more forgiving purchase overall for your bank account in comparison to a full-sized 3D printer, after all.

The Invite review: Olivia Wildes sex comedy is outrageous fun

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 22:00:00 +0000

Whatever you may think of Olivia Wilde as a filmmaker, it's impossible to deny she has a good eye for crafting comedy. In 2019, the American actress who'd proved herself as a sultry starlet thrilled audiences and critics alike with her directorial debut Booksmart. Universally lauded, the teen comedy teamed Beanie Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever as a pair of intellectually bright but socially oblivious besties, and the results were heart-warming and hilarious.

With Wilde's follow-up, however, she fumbled. Don't Worry Darling, a psychological thriller starring Florence Pugh and Harry Styles, was not only plagued with rumors of on-set discord and bad press before it even premiered, but savaged by critics once it did for its nonsensical plotline and underwhelming leading man.

Thankfully, Wilde's back with another comedy that combines sexual anxiety with a crackling cast. Pulling double duty as director and star, Wilde appears opposite Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz, and Edward Norton in The Invite. The quartet plays two couples whose relationships shift dramatically over the course of one dinner party.

Together, they create a sex comedy that's absolutely hysterical, ribbed with cringe and swagger. But Wilde is the film's weak link.

The Invite is blisteringly funny.

Credit: Courtesy of A24

Based on Cesc Gay's critically heralded 2020 Spanish comedy Sentimental, The Invite is largely confined to a sprawling San Francisco apartment that's been newly renovated. There lives bickering married couple Angela (Wilde) and Joe (Rogen), with their young daughter, who will be spoken of but never seen as she's away for a slumber party on this pivotal night.

Screenwriting team Will McCormack and Rashida Jones (Celeste and Jesse Forever) swiftly establish the disharmony in this home with the kind of lived-in arguments that begin mundane, but grow malevolent as the years go by. Thus, when Joe tumbles in after an uninspired day as a music teacher for bored band geeks, he's met not with a greeting but with Angela's demand that he take his shoes off and put away his folding bike before he can even take a breath.

An aspiring artist who's channeled all her creative energy into this renovation, Angela is desperate to impress the couple's chic upstairs neighbors, Pina (Penélope Cruz) and Hawk (Edward Norton), who she's invited over for dinner. After months of seeing them in the elevator or hearing them through the floor, Angela is practically giddy to get closer to this curious couple. Joe, on the other hand, mostly wants to tell them to quiet down their loud late-night sex — in part because hearing such thunderous lovemaking only makes the quiet chasteness of their own bedroom all the more obvious.

But as suggested in The Invite's first teaser, Pina and Hawk bring more than a bottle of wine to this dinner party. Oozing a seductive confidence, the flirtatious pair seem ever on the verge of tumbling into PDA or an indecent proposal. The tension of The Invite's second act is how Joe and Angela will handle such an offer, with one seemingly crushing ahead of their arrival and the other convinced he'll be crushed by the results.

You likely won't predict exactly how this could-be orgy plays out. But you will cackle at The Invite's sex-positive yet preposterously silly climax.

Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz, and Edward Norton are fantastically funny in The Invite.

To Wilde's credit, she initially puts her co-stars in their comfort zones. Rogen plays an insecure stoner whose self-defense mechanism is jokes. Norton is his foil, a frustratingly confident and erudite man who's dashing and nakedly in touch with his own feelings. As Pina, Cruz oozes an easy sensuality with an enviable cool.

However, The Invite pushes past these familiar places, giving the actors room to stretch into comic extremes. Rogen's stoner pops off with comically combative observations. Norton's non-toxic masculinity blooms into a bizarre runner about Hawk's deep love of floor rugs. And Cruz's mature breeziness persists whether she's talking about her flan recipe or her love of pegging. But the way she repeatedly says "my boobs" with pointed nonchalance is hilarious all on its own.

Whether they are fighting or flirting, there's a heady intensity in The Invite, reminiscent of the tension of Roman Polanski's Carnage, which also featured two couples in one room, hashing out much more serious problems. As a director, Wilde thoughtfully stages the unfolding sexual tension across an apartment full of corners perfect for heated exchanges and innuendo. The static camera favored by cinematographer Adam Newport-Berra creates an unobtrusive view into this intimate night. Wide shots early on give us a sense of distance from the lovers, but creep into close-ups as the topics get hotter.

This creates a claustrophobic atmosphere that exacerbates the social stakes of each interaction. Because, of course, if tonight gets weird, Joe and Angela will still see Pina and Hawk in the elevator, in the lobby, and through their windows. So, a sense of cat-and-mouse comes into play, where it's not enough to say what's screaming in their hearts, but to do so in a way that feels like winning. Because if they don't, they'll always be losers in this newly renovated home.

Working with editors Anthony Boys and Yorgos Mavropsaridis, Wilde builds a tension in The Invite that was too often absent in Don't Worry, Darling. And to her credit, she's committed to capturing Angela's electrifying need to be seen through every comment about interior design, each placement of an appetizer, and any glance at Joe, Pina, or Hawk. But she can't keep up with her cast. Where Rogen, Cruz, and Norton seem to bloom over the course of the film, Wilde seems to be straining to flesh out Angela from an archetypal self-hating nag. The other performances here feel lived-in, perhaps because the actors in them begin in familiar roles. But Wilde, whose niche might be the unflappable beauty (Tron: Legacy; Don't Worry, Darling) begins in a place of strained panic, and even as Angela begins to relax, the strain persists.

It's easy to understand why she'd want to be a part of this ensemble even as she directs the film. But when her co-stars are operating at such a high level of developing sexual tension, comedic timing, and pathos, Wilde's performance feels thinner in comparison. Which is not to say hers is not a good performance — it's just not a great one.

This qualm aside, I was enchanted by The Invite. McCormack and Jones' screenplay is smartly written, bringing emotional depth to all four lovers, while solidly establishing the relatable frustrations of long-term relationships. Wilde's direction is deceptively simple in its aesthetic, favoring cinematography that allows us to spy without the discomfort of voyeurism. This keeps the tone light even as the talk turns dirty. And with an ensemble that's totally game to embrace the silly, sexy, and subversive, The Invite is ruthlessly entertaining.

The Invite opens in theaters on July 3.

You can still buy Beats, Sony, and Sennheiser headphones for under $100 before Prime Day ends

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 21:53:56 +0000

Amazon Prime Day ends tonight, and we're going to be sharing deals with you until the last minute. Remember: Amazon Prime Day 2026 runs until Friday, June 26 at 11:59 p.m. PT, so don't procrastinate on the best Prime Day deals.

If you're doing some Friday night retail therapy, I found four pairs of headphones you can get for under $100. And these aren't your typical budget headphones either. This is your chance to get mid-range headphones at budget prices, so don't miss out.

Sony WH-CH720N

Sony WH-CH720N Headphones

$79.99 at Amazon
$179.99 Save $100.00

These Sony headphones are some of the lightest in the industry, only weighing in at around 192g. They contain Sony's integrated Processor V1, which keeps the audio loud, clear, and immersive. Plus, they have ambient and adaptive sound features to automatically adjust to the background environment, providing you with an optimal listening experience. And with 35-hours of battery life, you'll be able to get a lot of these in a single charge.

We reviewed the headphones, and our reviewer, Alex Bracetti, said, "The Sony WH-CH720N prove you don’t need to spend $300+ for excellent headphones. At under $200, they strike the rare balance of quality, comfort, and affordability."

Beats Solo 4 Wireless Headphones

Beats Solo 4 Headphones

$99.95 at Amazon
$199.95 Save $100.00

I love style and thumping bass, which is why the Beats Solo 4 are my personal favorites. They also deliver incredible sound thanks to personalized spatial audio and dynamic head tracking. They really make it feel like the music is enveloping every corner of your head! They're quite comfortable too, as the flex-grip headband and the adjustable ear cups fit securely yet snugly. It's got a whopping 50 hours of battery life, and just a 10-minute quick charge restores five hours of playback. The headphones are always ready when you are.

Sennheiser Accentum

Sennheiser is a household name in the audio game. Thanks to the Sennheiser audio pedigree, these mid-range headphones have some of the best noise-canceling capabilities in their price range. You can block out unwanted background noise, or turn on transparency mode if you need to keep aware of your surroundings. The microphone is amazing too, as they'll make your voice sound crystal clear, whether it's on a video call or in the middle of a video game.

Apple AirPods for $99

Alright, we're bending the rules a bit here. The Apple AirPods 4 aren't exactly headphones, but earbuds still count, right? And who doesn't love a good deal? These earbuds have the special H2 chip, meaning that voice isolation has improved! When you're on calls, your voice now sounds extra clear to the person on the other side, while also reducing background noise.

These have also been redesigned with a refined contour and shorter stem, making them more comfortable and stable in your ears. They don't compromise on sound quality either. With personalized spatial audio and dynamic head tracking, you'll be immersed in no time.

Cassey Ho tells Mashable her biggest advice for content creators

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 21:31:25 +0000

At VidCon 2026, Blogilates founder Cassey Ho joined VidCon's Hall of Fame alongside fellow creators Markiplier, Michelle Phan, and Philip DeFranco.

Ho began her content creation journey on YouTube in 2009, posting instructional workout videos people could follow at home. On top of being a pioneering fitness influencer, she went on to launch two clothing collections: Bodypop and Popflex. (Taylor Swift wore a Popflex skort in a short video set to her song "Fortnite." The skort sold out in 15 minutes.)

While Ho started off with longer-form horizontal workout videos, she's pivoted more towards posting short-form vertical content about her design process. That evolution is key to her longevity online, she says.

"I've been doing this for 17 years now, and luckily I haven't burned out," Ho told Mashable digital culture editor Crystal Bell. "I have a lot of personal friends who have, and the reason why is because I allowed myself to evolve as a human, and that meant also evolving my content. I think people who are too afraid to do that get stuck doing something they don't like anymore. So it's important to continue evolving."

Evolution is just one of the lessons Ho would impart to aspiring content creators. The other?

"Make something of value, right? Share something that's entertaining, educational, funny, but at the same time, make sure that it means something to you as well, because you cannot live for other people. You need to live for yourself first," Ho told Bell.

Michelle Phan tells Mashable how much VidCon has changed since she first attended

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 21:27:10 +0000

VidCon 2026 welcomed content creator Michelle Phan into its second class of Hall of Famers, alongside Markiplier, Philip DeFranco, and Blogilates founder Cassey Ho.

A pioneer in the beauty content creation space, Phan began posting makeup tutorials on YouTube in 2007. On top of spawning an internet beauty empire, her tutorials led to partnerships with Lancôme and L'Oréal. Phan also launched her own brands, including beauty subscription box IPSY and EM Cosmetics.

Phan started her career long before words like "YouTuber" or "content creator" became household terms, and she's witnessed the internet go through a drastic shift in terms of attitudes towards creators.

"Today, people know that the moment you turn on the camera and you're dancing in front of it or filming, they don't look at you weird," Phan told Mashable digital culture editor Crystal Bell.

"When I was being a YouTuber, people would look at me strange when I had my camcorder out and I'm filming out in public. They thought, 'Who is this person doing this weird thing?'" Phan recalled. "But today it's so normalized. Everyone's making content, and I think that's a beautiful thing, because everyone has a story to share."

That shift is clear at VidCon 2026, which has grown leaps and bounds since Phan first attended in the convention's early days.

"It was so surreal just to see how massive it is now and all the different creators," Phan said. "I would say I feel like I knew that it would become bigger like this, but it's so surreal to see that we're here now."

Unlocked Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (256GB)

$919.99
$1,299.99 Save $380

The flagship Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra in an Android phone with some serious iPhone-user-swaying powers.

And this handset is now at its lowest price ever for the final hours of Prime Day. If your current phone is on its last legs, the unlocked version of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (256GB) is just $919.99 at Amazon. It usually costs $1,299.99, and it'll likely bump back up to full price when Prime Day ends around midnight on Friday, June 26.

Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth gave the Galaxy S26 Ultra a glowing review when it was released back in March, going as far as to say that 2026 might just be the year he switches to Android. That's how good of a job Samsung did with its newest flagship smartphone. In particular, he noted the innovative Privacy Display, a never-before-seen hardware feature that blocks your pixels from prying eyes. Even Apple doesn't have anything like it.

You'll get the same 200MP wide lens, 50MP ultra-wide lens, 50MP telephoto lens with 10x optical zoom, 10MP lens with 3x optical zoom, and front-facing 12MP selfie camera as the S25, now enhanced by wider camera apertures, better steadying capabilities, and upgraded night photography and video. The S26 Ultra's zooming abilities are particularly awesome.

Processing speed is another major W for the S26 Ultra. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 actually beat the iPhone 17 Pro Max's processor in a Geekbench 6 performance — this thing could technically power a laptop. If you've been complaining about your current phone's lagging for months, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will be huge for your sanity.

Bumble in serious decline as it considers sale, reports say

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 20:56:39 +0000

The dating app Bumble is considering a sale, according to a Reuters report Thursday. And fresh data from market intelligence firm Sensor Tower, shared with Mashable, may help explain why.

Bumble has experienced the largest decline in global downloads among top dating apps over the past year and a half, according to Sensor Tower.

What's going on at Bumble?

It's no secret that Bumble has been going through a tough time for the past few years. Its stock is down 96 percent from its IPO at the time of this writing, even with a boost given the news of a potential sale.

Bumble began with the distinction that women began the conversation (in heterosexual matches). But the company decided to switch it up in 2024, allowing men to message first with the "Opening Moves" feature.

The app has since removed Opening Moves in Mexico and Australia, signaling that it wasn't a hit among users.

During Bumble's Q4 2025 earnings call, founder and CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd announced that Bumble will test an AI-powered dating experience, even as the numbers showed the app's total revenue and paying users decreased year over year. The year-over-year dips in total revenue and paying users continued in Q1 2026.

Wolfe Herd also recently shared that Bumble is removing its swipe feature. While she wasn't forthcoming about what will replace it, her mention of the potential AI assistant and matchmaker seemed a strong indication to many Bumble users. Their reaction was less than positive.

How Bumble is exploring a sale

Sources close to the company told Reuters that Bumble is working with Morgan Stanley investment bankers on a potential sale process. It's not a done deal, however, and the app might stay independent.

Bumble didn't respond to Reuters' request for comment. Morgan Stanley and asset manager Blackstone, which reportedly owns 22 percent of Bumble, also declined. Mashable has also reached out to Bumble for comment.

The buzz on Bumble's numbers

Sensor Tower's senior insights analyst, Kara Lee, reported that in 2025 and the first half of 2026, global Bumble downloads fell by 23 percent and 15 percent year-over-year, respectively. Between Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble, Bumble has seen the greatest decline in global total downloads, Sensor Tower says.

Tinder's downloads decreased in the same time period, Lee wrote, but by four percent and two percent year-over-year, respectively. Downloads of Hinge, meanwhile, increased by 14 percent and 25 percent during this time, respectively.

This is consistent with the financial reports. Tinder and Hinge are both owned by Match Group, and according to their Q1 2026 earnings, Hinge's direct revenue and paying users are up year over year. For Tinder, those metrics were down in previous quarters, but now it's making something of a comeback, as its direct revenue was up two percent year over year.

Hinge is also beating its two main rivals in monthly active users (MAU), according to Lee. They're up 23 percent year over year in 2025 and 25 percent year over year in the first half of 2026.

Bumble's user base, however, has experienced consistent declines over the last five quarters, Lee reported. While its monthly active users increased by 4 percent year over year in the first quarter of 2025, they dropped by 14 percent year over year a year later.

Tinder's monthly active users have fallen slightly, but it averages a mobile user base that's 2.5 times larger than Bumble's.

So while Bumble isn't the only dating app struggling, it might be faring the worst right now.

Before the sale even started, there were plenty of power stations and portable speakers on sale.

Why we like it

There are certain classic Prime Day deals we can count on year after year, and big discounts on Coleman camping supplies is definitely one of them. Coleman is one of the best-known names in camping, and this spacious 4-person tent is easy to set up in a pinch. Plus, it's PFAS-free for added peace of mind.

Best portable power station deal

Anker Solix C2000 Gen 2

$699.99 at Amazon
$1,499 Save $799.01

Why we like it

After testing dozens of portable power stations, the Anker Solix C2000 Gen 2 is the model I take on every camping trip. I like to slightly overestimate my power needs while camping (what if I decide to stay an extra night?), so I prefer the 2,048Wh offered by the C2000 Gen 2.

Anker made this as lightweight as possible, and despite landing in the 2k Wh category, it only weighs about 42 pounds. That'll be a manageable weight for camping trips where the campsite is near the car. It's also perfect for powering up the outdoor projector in the backyard for movie nights this summer. The Prime Day sale price of $699.99 is the lowest price we've seen this year at Amazon. It has since jumped up to $799.99, but we'll be keeping an eye out to see if the lower price returns.

Why we like it

Read Mashable's full review of the Anker Nebula Capsule 3 Laser Projector.

Some of the best summer nights are those spent outside, but if you'd like a bit of variety from staring at campfire flames, consider an outdoor projector. The Anker Nebula Capsule 3 Laser is one of my favorite projectors, and it's perfect for backyard movie nights. The onboard battery lasts for about 2.5 hours before you'll need to plug it into power. It can project on a screen up to 120 inches, and it's easy to bring outside. Instead of lugging out a beast of a projector, the Nebula Capsule 3 Laser weighs a bit over two pounds, and it's similar in size to a 12-ounce can of cola.

The Prime Day sale price of $509.99 matches the lowest we've ever seen at Amazon, but it's rare to see it dip this low, so grab it before the price increases.

Best Yeti deal

Yeti Hopper M30 Portable Soft Cooler

$245 at Amazon
$350 Save $105

Why we like it

Any outdoorsy person knows Yeti products come with premium price tags and that those steep costs don't drop often. Yeti coolers, specifically, rarely go on sale, but during Prime Day and other major sale events, the brand discounts select colors of many of its popular options. One of our top picks this Prime Day is the Hopper M30 portable soft cooler, which dropped down to $227.50 on day two of Prime Day. Now that we're on day three, the price has jumped a smidge to $245. While it's not quite the same discount, it's still an excellent sale price that's worth jumping on before Prime Day ends in a handful of hours.

The M30 soft cooler features powerful magnets that create a leak-resistant shield, a high-density dryhide shell that withstands everything from punctures to UV rays, a hitchpoint grid for attaching dry gear cases, bottle openers, multitools, and more, and of course, coldcell insulation. It can hold up to 36 cans or 22 pounds of ice. If you don't need something quite as big, check out the Hopper Flip 12 (also on sale), which can hold a case of beer or 16 pounds of ice.
