5 weird things you can do with a spare webcam (aside from making video calls)
Whether video calls are the bane of your existence or you love them, most people own a webcam. It might be in your laptop; it might be your phone; maybe you have a standalone webcam. If you have a spare one, you have a treasure trove of weird possibilities awaiting you.
Your smart TV might be listening even with the screen off—here's what to check
Turning off your TV doesn't necessarily mean all of its smart features have stopped working. Modern televisions are essentially connected computers with microphones, internet connections, and software that can continue operating in the background while the screen is off. That can be convenient, but it also means there are privacy settings worth paying attention to if you don't want your TV collecting more information than necessary.
Samsung Galaxy Buds are now as low as $95 during Amazon Prime Big Deal Days

How these 6 classic apps shaped Obsidian into the ultimate note-taking tool
Obsidian is a powerful note-taking knowledge base that’s admired for its open format, simplicity, and customization. It’s introduced many users to concepts like Markdown and graph visualizations, but it builds on the work of many other note-taking apps throughout history.
Google is preparing to drop Android Auto support for millions of phones
Many Android users are on the verge of losing access to their favorite songs, important notifications, navigation in Maps, or possibly watching a YouTube video while driving or as a co-pilot. In short, Android Auto will soon end support for Android devices running Android 10.
Google Photos has a quick setting that banishes screenshots from your main feed
I use Google Photos for cloud backups and as my general gallery app — that's where my main problem comes from. It's handy for me to back up screenshots and access them on other devices, but I was getting annoyed with seeing them mixed in with my photos and videos. Thankfully, a simple toggle is the solution.
Upgrade to a 4K dashcam for less with 70mai’s Prime Day deal
A sunny weekend is a good excuse to take the scenic route this fall. And a dashcam can help you keep a clear record of what happens on the road, no matter where you’re going, in case of an accident or dispute.

Your Windows 11 PC is always using half its RAM, and that's a good thing
When I open up Task Manager and I see that 60% of my 32GB of RAM is in use and I have 10GB cached even though I'm not doing anything, my first instinct is to start ending tasks and services to "free up RAM." My intuition—built in the XP and Vista era—tells me that it is a sign of a problem.
Skip Ryobi and Craftsman, this affordable power tool brand offers better prices and 5-year warranties
If you've been buying Ryobi or Craftsman because they seemed like the safe, practical choice, the warranty math might not be working in your favor anymore. Both brands offer a 3-year limited warranty on their cordless lineups, and neither makes it easy to get a replacement when something goes wrong. However, there is still Hercules, which acts a lot like Craftsman used to.
Amazon Prime Video is streaming the Emmy Awards for free, breaking its own rule
You won't have to sit in the living room to watch TV shows receiving their annual honors. Amazon and the Television Academy have signed a six-year agreement to make Prime Video the exclusive, free streaming home for the Emmy Awards.
Hard drive partitions used to solve 4 big problems that don't exist anymore
Partitioning your storage drive from one large volume into multiple smaller ones seems like an unnecessary step on modern PCs that can often create more problems than it solves. But back when hard drives were the mainstream storage medium, partitions were surprisingly common — you'd be hard-pressed to find a Windows PC that didn't have multiple partitions.
Get a big-screen experience with an AWOL Vision projector during Fall Prime Day
Nothing beats the big-screen experience. For over a century, films have been a major part of our lives. Movies give us entertainment, art, commentary, and inspiration. But how those movies look and sound matters. So, good equipment is essential. If you’re going for the theater experience, you’ll need a high-quality screen and, more importantly, a powerful projector that won't let you down.
Fresh starts for healthier routines: Waterdrop filters for Prime Big Deal Days
As the weather cools, most households quietly change how they use water at home. Iced drinks give way to hot coffee and tea, slow cookers and soup pots come back into rotation, and kitchens start filling up ahead of Thanksgiving. All of that runs through the same tap, which is why autumn is a reasonable time to think about what is actually coming out of it before the year's busiest cooking season arrives.
Someone turned their phone into a working external GPU
You don't have to buy a pricey video card enclosure to add external graphics to your PC — the phone in your pocket might do. Reddit user StayLameBro has found a way to use his iPhone 17 Pro Max as an external GPU that assists his MacBook Pro M4.
I ditched multiple Excel worksheets for one dynamic report and saved myself a ton of work
It's easy to end up with multiple versions of the same Excel report. You might need one for each region, department, or product, so you copy the report and change the data it shows. I've done this plenty of times, and for a while, I didn't see much of a problem.
The best headphones and earbuds deals on October Prime Day — my favorite Bose headphones are on sale
Just like that, fall is here and so is the holiday shopping season — well, almost.
We're kicking things off with Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, otherwise known as October Prime Day. The sitewide sale runs from Oct. 6 to 7, and deals on headphones are popping off.

The 25+ best October Prime Day tech deals, hand-picked by our gadget-obsessed experts
Mashable's discerning reporters and editors are constantly testing the latest gadgets, from e-readers to headphones, laptops, phones, power stations, smart rings, and portable speakers. This year, many of our favorite products have been hit with price hikes due to the ongoing memory crisis. Fortunately, Amazon has brought tech shoppers some relief with Prime Big Deal Days, better known as October Prime Day.
Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days is officially live, running Oct. 6 to 7. We've been covering this fall shopping event since its 2022 debut, and this year, we’re tracking all the top tech savings as they drop. From deep discounts on noise-canceling headphones to major price drops on SSDs and memory cards, here are the absolute best tech deals worth your money right now.
SEE ALSO: Try Amazon Prime for free for 30 days to get access to October Prime Day 2026Amazon is offering steep discounts on top devices from brands like Apple, TCL, Garmin, Beats, and Sony. After spending hours poring over these live savings, we've identified the best Prime Day deals that are so good, we'd buy them ourselves.
How do we pick these deals? We look for products we recommend at record-low prices (or close to them). We use price-tracking tools like camelcamelcamel to see if Amazon's discounts are actually better than usual, then cross-check them with other retailers' listings to make sure they're not cheaper elsewhere. (Walmart and Target are both gearing up to host their own October sales, FYI.) You can add our picks to your cart with confidence. And if we expect prices to drop lower in the days ahead, we'll be sure to tell you that.
So, without any further ado, these are the best October Prime Day tech deals we've spotted so far.
$79 AirPods (a Prime Day classic)It wouldn't be an Amazon Prime event without some heavily discounted AirPods. But, ironically, before the sale officially begins, you can also grab these earbuds for $79 at Walmart. That could change come Oct. 6, as Amazon may be holding back some inventory for Prime Big Deal Days.
Apple's fourth-generation earbuds have excellent audio quality, a comfortable fit, and a five-hour battery life. The newer AirPods 5 sound even better and add ANC, but this pair is still a great option for iOS users on a budget. (Read Mashable's review.)
Note: The AirPods 4 dipped down to $69 last Black Friday, but $79 is their lowest price so far in 2026. Plus, they probably won't be in stock much longer now that their successors have launched.

Amazon surprised us all with big price hikes across all Kindles, then dropped a collection of new Kindle models and accessories, including a page-turner. But if you're cool with a non-Paperwhite model, the 2024 Kindle is on sale for $103.99 for a nice 31% discount. Bundle it with three months of Kindle Unlimited for free.

We've been waiting for good deals on Apple MacBooks, and Amazon has finally delivered, with both the MacBook Air and Pro on sale.
If you're a professional creative, developer, or AI enthusiast who needs a compact new laptop for work, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better option than the 14-inch, M5 Max-powered MacBook Pro. The "base" configuration with 36GB of RAM and 2TB of storage got a $500 price increase back in June, which bumped it from $3,599 to $4,099. But right now, Amazon has it on sale for just $3,499 — a $600 savings.
If you don't need the powerful MacBook Pro's features or the price tag, you can go with the M5 MacBook Air while it's on sale for $1,099, or $200 off the normal price. Not only is it highly portable, but it also uses the M5 chip, and it stays in a moderate lane without going wild with features not everyone needs. It's a great buy for students or professionals.

Anker is the go-to charging brand for many tech nerds (including us), and the brand dropped some big discounts for Prime Day. You can grab the cute little Nano USB-C wall charger for under $30, and it even matches the new burgundy iPhone 18 Pro. The new Anker MagGo 2 Pro Power Bank just got its first-ever discount, and it offers 25W wireless charging.

$109.99 Save $22 Get Deal Cheaper-than-ever Fire tablets
Two of Amazon's own Fire tablets are already on sale for record-low prices ahead of Prime Big Deal Days. Take your pick from the compact Fire HD 8 with 64GB of storage — our favorite Fire tablet overall — or the big-screened Fire HD 10 with 32GB of storage, nicer cameras, and a sharper display. (Both have 13-hour battery lives.) They're now up to 53% off for Prime members.

Amazon's Fire tablets have been safe from price hikes so far, but the retailer raised the prices of all its Fire TV streaming sticks by at least $5 in August. The 4K Plus model went from $49.99 to $69.99. Nevertheless, Amazon will sell it to you for just $37.99 right now. (You can also try the coupon code STREAM4K, as we've seen it work at times this week.)
FWIW, this is Amazon's cheapest media player with support for Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, Nvidia Geforce Now, and Alexa Home Theater (a surround sound feature that works with Echo devices).

Dropping to the lowest we've seen at Amazon, the Apple Watch SE 3 is down to $199. In Mashable's review of the best smartwatches, the Apple Watch SE 3 takes the cake as the best model for most people. The SE was the first Apple Watch to include an always-on display, and we're always thrilled to look down and see the stunning OLED display. Plus, the S10 chip is the same as the Ultra 3, which costs nearly $800 at full price.

The 65-inch TCL QM8L is the best QLED TV for most people, according to Leah Stodart, our former TV expert. She praised its "superb peak brightness, detailed picture quality, and fantastic glare handling." (QLED TVs in general "are ideal for people whose TV usage happens mostly in the daytime, especially watching sports," to quote her TV specs guide.)
The 85-inch QM8L is down to $2,297.99 for Prime Big Deal Days — which is an even deeper discount than the $2,497.99 price point we were hoping to see. If you've been holding out for a massive TV deal, now is the time to pull the trigger.

The best Prime Day tech deals always include savings on Amazon's own devices, like the affordable 40-inch Ember Fire TV. This TV has a high-definition HDR10+ display and doubles as an Alexa smart speaker for your home. The 28% discount drops the price to a very affordable $179.99, its lowest-ever price.
And if you're looking for a cheap TV with a little bit more oomph, the 50-inch QLED Ember Fire TV is currently $100 off.

Nintendo's upcoming remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Switch 2 will be one of the year's biggest gaming releases (after GTA 6, obviously). Preordering the physical edition will normally cost you $69.99 — it's $10 more than the digital version — but Amazon has it on sale for $59.88 ahead of its Nov. 5 launch. The first print run has special packaging with foil cover art, so don't dawdle.

Our tech editor reviewed this classic DJI vlogging camera when it first came out. At the time, we called it the perfect camera for social creators, and we were right. Since then, this camera has become a very common sight at tech events, conferences, and anywhere else streamers and creators get together.
The new DJI Osmo Pocket 4 can be hard to find in the United States, but the previous-gen version is hardly out of date. This gimbal camera shoots gorgeous 4K vertical and horizontal video, and uses the built-in gimbal for tracking and motion stabilization.

This has not been a good year to buy a new phone, thanks to rising prices, so if your battery is holding on for dear life, just slip this power bank into your purse or backpack and avoid low-battery anxiety. It charges your phone via an included USB-C cable at a speedy 45W.

Apple released a new generation of AirTag trackers this year, the AirTag 2. The popular Apple tracker is already at an all-time low price, and we don't expect it to get any cheaper in the days ahead. You can also grab the 4-pack on sale for $89, though we're hoping that price drops to $79.99 soon.

This little gadget always goes on sale during Amazon sales, and so we're hardly surprised that it's one of the retailer's Prime Day deals for October 2026. You can add this smart plug to your cart for just $12.98, a nearly 50% discount. If you're trying to spend every last penny of an Amazon gift card, go ahead and add it to your shopping cart.

The global memory crisis has led to rising costs for smartphones, laptops, and gaming consoles, but it's been a disaster for SD cards and hard drives. So, while the discounts aren't as huge as they were in past years, you can find savings on these memory products during October Prime Big Deal Days. We've found a bunch of Prime Day deals on portable SSDs and hard drives, and we expect even more savings to come.
Case in point: The SanDisk Nintendo Switch 2 microSD Card Express is down by $70. Likewise, you can score $90 in savings on the popular 1TB SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD, which is even cheaper now that October Prime Day has begun.

As of this writing, you can once again save $100 on the latest iPad Air, which is powered by the powerful M4 chip, is razor thin, and won a Mashable Choice award (read our full review if you're on the fence) earlier this year.
If you want to upgrade to the M5 chip and a breathtaking OLED display, then you can also save $100 on the iPad Pro. The HDR display is incredibly bright, even in direct sunlight, and it has enough processing power to handle video editing software and 4K video files.

Samsung's S95H OLED TV is our tech editor's dream TV, but it's impractically expensive, even when it's on sale. Fortunately, the brand's S90H OLED TV is also a phenomenal TV, and it just dropped to its lowest price ever, making this one of the best Prime Day TV deals of the sale so far (honestly, it's one of the best Prime Day deals, period).
It's definitely an investment, but if you're a gamer or cinephile, then this is a future-proofed TV with a stunning, glare-free display, a speedy AI processor, and a sleek design.

We're big fans of DJI cameras and drones at Mashable. Unfortunately, they've become a lot harder to find in the United States thanks to the ongoing drone ban and the company's troubles with the FTC. However, Amazon has delivered with some big Prime Day deals on DJI drones. So, if you're looking to take your videos airborne, you can grab the entry-level DJI Mini 3 4K camera drone for under $300.
Note: This product is only available through third-party sellers at Amazon, which we normally try to avoid.

Samsung is rolling out its One UI 9 update in earnest, if later than expected. The custom take on Android 17 is starting to reach Galaxy S26 devices in the U.S. roughly a week after the launch was supposed to start.
