7 ways to repurpose your old speakers
If your old speakers are gathering dust and you're not sure what to do with them, you've come to the right place. Don't worry; I've got plenty of ideas that won't involve complicated DIY Raspberry Pi projects. Let's dive into a few creative ways to put your old speakers back in the game.
You don't need a USB flash drive—your old phone is a better portable file server
Buying a new phone leaves you with an older one that is pretty much useless unless you trade it in. No one really needs a second phone unless it is for work. Once you've moved your contacts and photos over, it's easy to forget the old phone is still useful when repurposed. It won't lose any of the features that make it such a good mini computer, and you should take advantage of that.
3 fresh Netflix documentaries to watch this weekend (September 4 - 6)

Ligue 1 has started with some unexpected results. We're all so used to seeing Champions League champions PSG at the top of the standings, but right now they're sitting in 11th. We expect to see the defending champs move up the table, but are we seeing the start of a decline for Luis Enrique's side?
Next they face Monaco, probably not the side they wanted to come up against as they seek their first win of the season. Monaco top the standings after two rounds, without conceding a single goal.

Trump games: White House unveils anti-immigrant, Pro-Trump retro arcade
With gas prices soaring, dozens of food recalls, a war in Iran, and a litany of other pressing issues, one might be thinking to themself, "I wish the U.S. government would release a series of low-quality, potentially vibe-coded video games."
Well, you are in luck!
On Thursday, Trump's White House announced a new website, Arcade.gov, which hosts five brand new 8-bit style video games, which harken back to the days of Newgrounds and the now-discontinued Adobe Flash.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.The official White House account on Elon Musk's X announced the launch of the new government website via a series of videos, which spoof the opening screens of Sega, Nintendo, and Xbox game consoles.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.The Sega spoof turns the company's iconic logo into a MAGA promotion.
The most innocuous game is the site's Flappy Bird clone, called Flappy Bill, where a user guides an eagle down the National Mall.
Supply Line, which spoofs the game Tapper, challenges users to sort cafeteria food to promote the administration's Make America Healthy Again campaign.
In Trump Savings Tycoon, players have to collect money for their kids' Trump Accounts, which promotes the administration's agenda to provide $1,000 to children born during the president's term in office.
A screenshot of 'Rio Run.' Credit: Arcade.gov A screenshot of 'Build the Wall.' Credit: Arcade.govThe two most controversial games promote Trump's border policies. Rio Run is a Snake clone that challenges the user to patrol the border along the Rio Grande, catching immigrants crossing the border. Once a user "catches" an immigrant, they re-appear in an orange jumpsuit. Finally, Build the Wall, a Tetris game with a zombie theme, encourages users to “protect the border from the coming horde."
In the replies to the White House's announcement, many users criticized the games. Some encourage Nintendo and Xbox to sue the administration for copyright infringement. Others made references to the lack of games covering other issues, such as the Epstein Files.
The Arcade.gov website claims more games are on the way.
"Coming soon," reads a blank box next to the other games in the library, with a tagline that reads, "A new adventure awaits."
40+ Labor Day deals: We found limited-time deals on TVs, mattresses, Apple, and more to shop this weekend
Summer is officially coming to an end, but Labor Day weekend is finally here. While saying goodbye to summer feels a bit sad, the cooler weather is rolling in, and we've got one final long weekend to kick back and save before fall sets in.
If you're looking for a seasonal refresh, big-box retailers are offering huge discounts across almost every category. It's the ideal time to upgrade your mattress, stock up on outdoor gear during the REI Labor Day Sale, or grab a 4K TV just in time for kickoff ahead of the NHL and NFL seasons.
We won't see discounts this big again until Black Friday, so now's the time to act — especially with tech and appliance prices continuing to climb. We're tracking the best Labor Day deals live all weekend long across Apple, TVs, mattresses, laptops, and home essentials.

The Apple iPad Air with an M4 chip is something to behold. It's a step up in performance from the previous M3, and it's super lightweight and thin. It's also powerful and smart enough to handle intense programs like Final Cut Pro, making it a great option for creators and artists.
Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth reviewed the M4 iPad Air and wrote, "Artists and note-takers will definitely appreciate this one."

For Labor Day, the Queen-size DreamCloud Classic Hybrid Mattress is marked down to $699, which is up to 60% off.
It's a 12-inch hybrid that balances comfort and support, using a cooling fiber cover, an inch of pressure-relieving memory foam, and individually wrapped coils so you don't feel it every single time your partner tosses and turns. You also get a 365-night home trial and a "Forever Warranty" so you aren't stuck with it if you hate it.
If you're upgrading your whole setup, I highly recommend grabbing a base while you're at it. I actually have the Bamboo Platform Bed Frame they have on the site, and it genuinely only took me 20 minutes to put together.

The best Labor Day deals on outdoor gear: We found rare deals on Coleman, Yeti, and Ninja

Even though we know there's still plenty of time to get outside, retail trends still think we're winding down with the outdoor activities. That means this is the perfect time to upgrade your gear with sale prices and still get plenty of use before packing it all away for winter.
If you've been thinking about getting a portable power station for camping, a camping chair for watching fall sports, or a new water bottle, consider this is a great time to be shopping. Here are some of our favorite Labor Day outdoor deals at Amazon:

Amazons Labor Day 2026 sale is live: We found Samsung TVs, Apple AirPods, Sony headphones, and more on sale
If the Pumpkin Spite Latte's return to Starbucks didn't already alert you, Labor Day Weekend's arrival certainly will. Fall is coming, whether you're anticipating the season change or dreading it. The unofficial last hurrah of summer, Labor Day is the perfect excuse to squeeze in some last-minute beach days, backyard barbecues, and shopping sprees (obviously).
With tech prices constantly rising, major shopping holidays like Amazon's Labor Day sale are your best opportunity to score the devices you want at a discount. We've already noticed all-time low prices on some of our favorite TVs of 2026 and noise-canceling headphones we adore. Plus, we're seeing some of the best discounts on Apple gear and Amazon devices since price hikes went into effect.
Here are some of the best deals we've spotted at Amazon.

The M4 iPad Air is hands down our top pick for an iPad for most people. While it's incredibly similar to its predecessor, that's not necessarily a bad thing. It features a thin and lightweight build, brilliant Liquid Retina display, insanely fast performance powered by the M4 chip, and Apple's N1 and C1X connectivity chips. Mashable's tech editor says it's powerful enough to handle memory-intensive programs like Final Cut Pro and even goes as far as calling it "way overpowered for most users." It starts at $749 for the 128GB version after the price hike, but for Labor Day, it's $100 cheaper.
Stock is running low across all color options, so grab it before it sells out. Otherwise, the 256GB option is still in stock for just $100 more.

It's been out less than six months, but it's already our top pick for a QLED TV for most people. That "SQD" in the title stands for "super quantum dot mini LEDS," which is a lot of tech jargon for extremely bright quantum dots.

These headphones have been replaced by the XM6s, but like most modern tech, the upgrades are iterative. "The XM5 headphones hold up well in 2026, and they're still worth the investment, especially when they're on sale," Mashable's reviewer writes. They offer 30 hours of battery life, an attractive design, legendary ANC, customizable sound quality, and good call quality. The only thing we aren't crazy about is that they don't fold up for travel. Originally retailing for $400, they're now much more affordable at under $200. For comparison, the newer XM6s are right around $400 on sale.

3 little-known Excel tools worth exploring this weekend (September 4-6)

Labor Day mattress and bedding sales are live: We found the best deals at Purple, Naturepedic, Saatva, and more
Sleep is a key component of a healthy lifestyle. It sounds like a simple thing: get into bed, close your eyes, and drift off to sleep. Unfortunately, many of us face a wide range of issues that prevent us from getting restorative sleep. A huge contributor to poor sleep is an old or uncomfortable mattress.
Even beds that come with a lifetime warranty aren't meant to last forever. If your current bed is sagging or you wake up with aches and pains that weren't there the night before, it's probably time for a new mattress. While you're at it, it's smart to refresh the bedding. A supportive pillow and breathable sheets can make a world of difference when it comes to bedtime comfort.

Fall 2: Deadpoint review: How do you make a satisfying sequel to the mind-bending Fall?
At a glance, Fall looked like one of many forgettable, low-budget thrillers with a silly but curious logline. Fall's was: What if two women are trapped 2,000 feet up with no safe way down? Director and co-screenwriter (alongside scribe Jonathan Frank) Scott Mann made a nail-biting thriller that was basically 47 Meters Down for heights, thanks to a bonkers ending that made audiences do a double take. And this proved a recipe for success, as the $3 million movie made $21.8 million in theaters, and went on to be licensed by streaming services, including Netflix.
In that regard, Fall 2: Deadpoint might seem an inevitability. However, Frank and Mann could have written themselves into a corner by killing off the first film's most enthralling character. Would audiences want to follow a fretful Becky (Grace Caroline Currey) on another climb? And what could even get her to take such a risk after losing her husband and best friend to fatal falls?
Well, Fall 2: Deadpoint picks up not long after the last film's brutal conclusion, but it shifts focus to Jax (Harriet Slater), the younger sister of the late Shiloh Hunter (Virginia Gardner). This pivot allows Frank and Mann to create a near parallel narrative, in which Jax is the Becky — a young woman who, wracked with grief over the sudden death of a loved one, takes on a dangerous climb to conquer her fears and learn to live again.
Of course, as this is a sequel, the risks must be bigger. So, Jax and her climbing partner Luce (Arsema Thomas) not only go higher than her sister and Becky dared, but they do it on a Thai mountainside prone to rock slides. And along the way, Jax will be bedeviled with flashbacks of her sister, allowing Gardner to bring her shine back to the franchise, even if her character is dead. The thrills will be familiar, but the filmmakers chart a new path by shifting subgenres.
Fall 2: Deadpoint begins as a retread. Harriet Slater and Arsema Thomas co-star in "Fall 2: Deadpoint." Credit: LionsgateIn the wake of Shiloh's death, she's become famous online as #fallgirl. To drive the point home, directors Peter and Michael Spierig offer a montage of familiar content creators, like Try Guy Keith Habersberger and Two Hot Takes podcaster Morgan Absher, giving their thoughts.
This introduction swiftly establishes a world where Jax is inundated online with reminders of her sister's death. Switching to a flip phone isn't a standard stage in processing death, but it's crucial for Jax, who feels all alone without her sister. It's in this valley of mourning that she meets Luce, an old friend of Shiloh's who's interested in buying her vehicle. Together, the two share memories of the fallen sister and uncover her "fuck-it" list, a scrapbook where she plotted her adventures.
A plank walk along Mount Kwan, perched 4,000 feet above sea level, seems to be what Shiloh was eyeing next. Jax and Luce decide to follow her example by living fearlessly and embracing dizzying challenges. So, off they go to Thailand, using a code word to find a sketchy guide named Jon (Tom Brittney) to lead them on the trek, which is illegal because of the weather conditions that could lead to rock slides.
Caution, be damned! The trio are soon high above the world, and climbing higher. As promised, a rock slide soon hits, not only separating the tourists from their guide but also leaving them stranded on a shattered path that won't allow for retreat.
This high up, they could suffer from altitude sickness that might cause headaches, hallucinations, and nausea. And just like that, Jax and Luce are in a situation eerily similar to Shiloh and Becky. But don't think you can predict where Fall 2: Deadpoint will go next.
Fall 2: Deadpoint switches gears for a surprising ending. Harriet Slater and Arsema Thomas co-star in "Fall 2: Deadpoint." Credit: LionsgateI won't spoil the end of this sequel in the review. Instead, I'll say I'm impressed with how Frank and Mann wove in a subplot that pitches the third act into new terrain for this franchise. Because after the first film, Fall's fans (or haters) will be on the watch for any moment that suggests something is amiss.
The screenwriters play into this through repeating elements of the first film, from something as minor as a feasting vulture as an ominous omen to something major, like a confession that threatens to irreparably damage the bond between the two women, who are forced to work together to survive. They essentially pull a magic trick, drawing our eye to the clues that led to a shock last time, distracting us from the subplot that's building to its climax in the background.
To the credit of the cast, they grit their teeth into the intense physicality demanded of the setup. Slater is convincingly tormented by grief, regret, and terror, whether fretting in flashbacks with Gardner or dangling from a rusty spoke, thousands of feet above the Earth. Brittney is slyly intriguing as a tour guide with an unclear agenda, but Thomas is the closest to shining as brightly as Gardner. Their verve is resilient throughout, making the dark color palette chosen by the Spierig brothers' less oppressively glum.
The directors do ably create tension in the action sequences though, which are many. A growling discomfort grew within me as I watched Jax and Luce struggle, strain, and scream. Even as I tried to convince myself that I knew how this would turn out, so I wouldn't get too worked up, I couldn't avoid it. And in the end, I was wrong about how it'd turn out. So much so that until the final scene, which sets up another sequel, I still wasn't sure I could trust my eyes.
So, props to the filmmakers who managed to keep this Fall fan guessing all through the credits.
The Adults cast teaches us how to be adults
The Adults cast has done it all. They've fought raccoons, hosted chaotic dinner parties, and starred in memorable will-they-won't-they romances. But can they conquer real-life adulthood?

Burger King’s new Dragon Ball menu includes a Super Saiyan sauce and collectible figures — how to get yours
TL;DR: Burger King has launched a limited-time menu celebrating Dragon Ball Super. From Sept. 1, order the Dragon Ball Super Power Up Pack that includes a Super Saiyan sauce, Dragon Ball lemonade, and exclusive character figurines.
We're seeing a lot of popular food chains dropping collabs with even more popular franchises. We recently got a Krispy Kreme Pokémon doughnut collection and a Crumbl Cookies Minecraft menu, to name just a couple of the wild collabs we've covered. Those were fun, but I wasn't seeing anything that really spoke to me.
That was until I saw Burger King's limited-time menu celebrating Dragon Ball Super. This one is for me.
Burger King has launched a limited-time menu celebrating Dragon Ball Super. From Sept. 1, you can order the Dragon Ball Super Power Up Pack that includes:
10-Piece Chicken Nuggets with Super Saiyan Sauce: It's supposedly a sweet, savory, and tangy teriyaki-style sauce inspired by the iconic Super Saiyan. I don't know about you, but I always looked at Goku's transformation and thought, "I bet he tastes like teriyaki."
Dragon Ball Burst Lemonade: Mango Peach Lemonade with juicy mango-flavored Popping Boba.
Medium Fry: Classic french fries
Dragon Ball Super Figurine: 1 of 6 exclusive character figurines, including Goku, Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Goku, Vegeta, Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Vegeta, Piccolo, and Beerus.
There's also something for kids. You can pick up a Dragon Ball Super-themed King Jr. Meal that includes a choice of hamburger, cheeseburger, or 4- or 6-piece chicken nuggets, plus a side, drink, themed crown, and one of six figurines, while supplies last.
The food upgrades are interesting. I'm keen to try the new sauce and the lemonade, but that's not the real draw here. It's the collectible figurines. If you're hunting for the full six-figurine set, you'll want to move fast. These limited-time fast-food drops notoriously get picked clean by collectors within days, so hit the BK app early before eBay reseller prices get outrageously high.

Dell’s new 14S laptop is another colorful competitor to the MacBook Neo
TL; DR: The Dell 14S is a new affordable Windows laptop aimed at students and young professionals, with an aluminum build, up to 2.8K 120Hz display, all-day battery life, and four colorful finishes.
At IFA 2026 in Berlin, Dell unveiled a new version of the Dell 14S aimed at students, young adults, and anyone who wants a solid everyday Windows laptop without paying for a premium model. It comes in four colors, has an aluminum body, weighs just 1.15kg, and promises up to 21 hours of Netflix streaming on a single charge.
Sound familiar? It should.
Dell already launched a 14S earlier this year, and we liked it. A lot. Mashable has named the existing Dell 14S a top choice for battery life, a top mid-range Windows laptop, and the best battery-life laptop for students. Our testing found that the model lasted 34 hours and 29 minutes in our battery benchmark, making it the second-longest-lasting laptop we've tested.
The new 14S isn't really a replacement for that laptop. It's more like a lower-spec version of the same idea, with a bigger focus on affordability and design. Dell hasn't announced pricing yet, but the positioning makes it pretty clear that the company wants this machine in the same conversation as Apple's MacBook Neo. So, what's actually different?
It's the 14S you already know, but with more colorIt's still a slim aluminum laptop designed to be easy to carry around. It's just 13.5mm thick, and Dell is putting much more emphasis on looks this time.
The new 14S comes in four finishes:
Linen
Dusty rose
Washed denim
Velvet green
The existing 14S we tested came in celestial blue, which looked nice but, as our review noted, was "a fingerprint magnet." More importantly, we really liked how the original 14S was built. Mashable called its build quality "impeccable" and said it felt "just as well-made" as Dell's much pricier XPS 14. Its keyboard, webcam, and microphone also got high marks.
So the new 14S is starting from a pretty good place.
Credit: Dell Credit: Dell The main difference is what's insideThe new 14S uses Intel Core 5 and Core 7 Series 3 processors. That's a step down from the configuration we tested in the existing 14S, which used a mid-range Intel Core Ultra 7 355 chip.
Still, the 14S was plenty good for everyday use like browsing, writing, streaming, and general productivity. Its big strengths were battery life and build quality. Dell says the new model can deliver up to 21 hours of Netflix streaming on a single charge.
You get two display optionsThe new 14S has a 16:10 display, which gives you a little more vertical space for documents, websites, and schoolwork.
There are two options:
2.8K, 120Hz for sharper images and smoother motion
2K, 60Hz for shoppers who care more about battery life and value
Both are supposed to be bright and offer vibrant, accurate colors.
Is the new Dell 14S worth buying?Dell already has a formula that works: strong battery life, a nice aluminum build, a good keyboard, and a practical design. The question is whether Dell can make that formula cheap enough to compete with the MacBook Neo without cutting too much elsewhere.
For now, we don't know. Dell says the new 14S is coming to the U.S. this fall, with pricing to be announced closer to launch. So until we get that number — and until we test the new hardware ourselves — the original 14S is still the one we know works.
I'm tired of in-display fingerprint sensors—foldables prove there's a better way
As cutting-edge as they may seem, foldable phones have more in common with regular ‘ol slab phones than they don’t. One of the biggest differences I’ve noticed, however, has nothing to do with flexible screens, and it’s something that would instantly improve every regular phone.
