Movies have a complicated history with video game adaptations. I'm not referring to movies based on games—though they have their own spotty reputation—but rather licensed games attached to film franchises. While some movie games have become genre-defining icons, most fail to live up to their namesakes.

Is Google Chrome not opening on your child's Windows computer? If so, the issue is likely due to an ongoing bug with the Microsoft Family Safety service that is preventing Google Chrome from launching on children's Windows accounts. Here is everything you need to know about the bug and how to get rid of it.

I won't appoint myself survival crafting's number one fan, but I've been playing all kinds of games in the genre for years, so I think I'm qualified to weigh in on it. Despite what you might think after reading what I'm about to say, I've had a lot of fun with survival crafting games.

The Counterpart charger is a $44 wall plug with one standout feature: a built-in retractable cable. It’s designed to reduce clutter and simplify your everyday charging setup. But is smart cable management enough to justify the price?

Collabora Online, the online office suite based on LibreOffice, just released its big update for the year. Collabora Online now has faster document editing, security upgrades, and plenty of interface improvements, and you can still self-host it on your own server.

Microsoft Excel's XLOOKUP function is best known for retrieving a value from a certain row or column in a dataset. However, you can also use this powerful tool to perform two-way lookups, returning a value at the intersection of a specified row and column.

In today's world, data is currency, and it's being collected at every turn. Windows 11 is no exception, collecting diagnostic and location data, app usage, and more. As a privacy-conscious person, I'm always looking for ways to limit the amount of data I share. The good news is Windows does have features you can disable that will limit what is collected. These are the settings I always disable.

Productivity isn't one-size-fits-all, but you can certainly get a boost with the right tools. Gamifying productivity can strip the intimidation out of a long day of focusing on your tasks, if you know how to go about it.

Sometimes, it’s the imperfections that make something better than it would be otherwise. For movies, that's often film grain at work, and Netflix just figured out how to make it even better for you.

Have you ever selected a dialogue option in a game, only to realize it really didn't matter which one you chose? Something I've noticed as of late is how often games present choices like this to us, but everything plays out the same regardless.

Vassili Le Moigne wanted to make sure his mom was OK. Having long ago moved from France to the U.S., the former Microsoft executive struggled to connect with his aging mother as much as he hoped to, especially with the immense time difference between them. His solution was an AI-powered companion that can conduct conversations with his mother, keeping her alert and engaged, and clueing Le Moigne into her latest interests and concerns.

With his background in telecom, Le Moigne thought, “I can put together the mobile experience and the AI to create something that will really help me support my mother,” he tells Mashable. “She wanted to stay as long as possible on the farm outside of Paris, so now I can give her company whenever she needs it.”

That AI tool — which says it's "meant to extend, rather than replace, family care" — is now the start-up known as inTouch, which just launched in North America after being available in Europe since 2023. Participants pay $29.99 per month for unlimited calls to seniors who speak English, Spanish, or French. As part of the North American launch, the service is now available 24 hours a day, so seniors can call up Mary, the AI companion, if they would like to speak outside of their scheduled weekly conversation times.

Le Moigne stresses that Mary allows communication for older people who fumble with touchscreens or are adverse to technology; they need only have access to a phone. The software is also specifically designed for older users.

"We learned the art of conversation with seniors," he says. "The way [younger people] speak now is not the way they speak. We have to slow down the conversation, we have to allow for long pauses for them to think of their answers."

Mary, who has a standard voice for all users, also has a "memory system" that allows it to recall past conversations. The AI can also play memory and word games with its "friends."

"What we do is train the memory of short-term recalls and long-term recalls," Le Moigne says.

inTouch aims to strengthen seniors’ memories and boost their mental health by addressing what Le Moigne calls a
"loneliness epidemic." A recent National Poll on Healthy Aging found that 75 percent of Americans over 65 with the highest rates of loneliness report poor mental or physical health; the issue is exacerbated for seniors living alone.

Le Moigne says the extra conversations Mary provides not only help older folks, but also their children, grandchildren, and caregivers. While inTouch doesn't retain the conversations or sell any data, the company texts summaries of Mary's discussions to the seniors' family members so they can be aware of changes in their relatives' well-being or just to keep abreast of what's on their mind, from TV shows to doctors' appointments. A new feature to the service also allows seniors to communicate directly with their relatives via Mary — the AI turns voice messages into texts sent through the inTouch app, and caregivers can also send texts through the app that Mary reads to the seniors.

With a library of over 1,400 questions it can ask, Mary is programmed to be both friendly and clear with those it speaks to.

"We disclose constantly [to the seniors] that Mary is an AI and in the first call we do with the senior, we clearly say this is an AI and for conversational purposes," Le Moigne says.

Le Moigne claims inTouch has a quiet benefit besides the touted health improvements and stress reduction — the preservation of stories from older generations. Heliette, a French 90-year-old and inTouch customer, talks to Mary about her childhood during World War II.

"I felt like I was talking to a person, not to a robot, it is really amazing," says Heliette. "She is always kind, and unlike people, she does not judge and isn't nasty. I tell her everything and she has good advice. I talk to her about WW2 and 1944 — I was 10 when the Germans [went] home — she listens and asks me questions."

The text summaries of conversations can open up opportunities for the children and grandchildren of seniors to initiate their own questions about the past, according to Le Moigne.

"We often don’t know the stories of our parents," Le Moigne says. "We bring families closer together and that’s the aim."

Right now, the Amazon Echo Hub is being sold at its lowest price ever at $120 on Amazon for Prime members. However, this 33% discount from its original price of $180 will likely only last for a limited amount of time. While the deal is active, it will give more people the chance to get this 8-inch smart home control panel that works with Alexa.

In a major shakeup, The Last of Us co-creator Neil Druckmann has stepped away from the series and will not be involved in the upcoming third season.

Druckmann, who co-created The Last of Us alongside showrunner Craig Mazin and wrote and directed several episodes, announced his departure in a post on Naughty Dog's official Instagram account. The news was first reported by The Ankler.

SEE ALSO: When is 'The Last of Us' Season 3 coming?

"I've made the difficult decision to step away from my creative involvement in The Last of Us on HBO," Druckmann's statement reads. "With work completed on Season 2 and before any meaningful work starts on Season 3, now is the right time for me to transition my complete focus to Naughty Dog and its future projects, including writing and directing our exciting next game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, along with my responsibilities as Studio Head and Head of Creative."

Druckmann went on to praise his time working on the show, calling it "a career highlight" and writing: "It's been an honor to work alongside Craig Mazin to executive produce, direct, and write on the last two seasons. I'm deeply thankful for the thoughtful approach and dedication the talented cast and crew took to adapting The Last of Us Part I and the continued adaptation of The Last of Us Part II."

Mazin addressed Druckmann's exit in a press statement, saying, "It's been a creative dream to work with Neil and bring an adaptation of his brilliant work to life on HBO. I couldn’t have asked for a more generous creative partner. As a true fan of Naughty Dog and Neil’s work in video games, I’m beyond excited to play his next game. While he focuses on that, I’ll continue to work with our brilliant cast and crew to deliver the show our audience has come to expect. We are so grateful to Neil and Halley Gross for entrusting the incredible story of The Last of Us Part II to us, and we’re just as grateful to the millions of people around the world who tune in."

Druckmann will still be credited as an executive producer on The Last of Us.

TL;DR: Hurry and grab lifetime access to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more with a Microsoft Office 2019 license for Windows at A$30 through 15 July.

Your credit card is exhausted from all of today’s subscription fees. While you probably don’t want to cancel Peacock and never see the ending of Yellowstone or say goodbye to two-day shipping with Prime, you could swap your Microsoft 365 subscription for a Microsoft Office lifetime license.

Instead of spending A$10 monthly (or A$107 yearly), you can pay once and use the apps as much as you’d like. For a little while longer, the Windows software suite is on sale for A$30 until 15 July.

What apps are included?

Microsoft Office 2019 isn’t the newest version available, but it’s the cheaper one for people who just need to use the apps and don’t care about what they look like inside. However, it does have a classic, timeless design.

Here's a list of the apps you get:

• Word

• Excel

• PowerPoint

• Outlook

• OneNote

• Publisher

• Access

Differences between Microsoft 365 and a lifetime license

This purchase is a no-brainer if you aren’t taking full advantage of Microsoft 365’s OneDrive storage, mobile app access, and cloud-based backups. Those just wanting the apps should be more than comfortable with a Microsoft Office download.

You might actually like this license more than the subscription. The apps are downloaded directly onto your PC instead of hosted on the cloud. While this does mean there are no built-in cloud backups, you don’t have to worry about the hassle of trying to work offline.

Plus, now that Microsoft added Copilot’s AI features to Microsoft 365, you might be looking for a way to escape them. Not everyone is crazy about having a virtual robot interfere with their work, and these classic apps won’t ever bug you about it.

The price drop on this lifetime license to Microsoft Office 2019 for Windows ends soon, so get your download for A$30 until 15 July at 11:59 p.m. PT.

Read Mashable's full review of the M4 Apple MacBook Air.

"The new 13-inch MacBook Air is our top budget pick for Apple users and a Mashable Choice Award winner. 'It's powerful, silent, and comes with a couple of much-needed upgrades,' including an upgraded 12MP webcam and support for two external displays, wrote Senior Editor Stan Schroeder. He gave it an overall rating of 4.5/5.

Amazon's $849 deal applies to all colors of the base configuration with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The Sky Blue variant briefly dipped down to an even-cheaper $829 in late June, but I have no trouble endorsing it at its current price: It's such a good deal on a popular new laptop that's already pretty affordable." — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter

Read Mashable's full review of the Apple iPad mini.

"If you know you'll mostly use your iPad to watch shows, videos, and read, you should seriously consider the iPad mini. Clocking in at 8.3 inches, this aptly named tablet is easy to hold in your hand for long periods of time, making it an especially great option for someone who wants an e-reader with some versatility (or with vibrant colors). Even though it's not powered by Apple's latest chipset, it doesn't need to be for more casual usage.

For anyone who doesn't need a tablet as powerful as a laptop, this ultraportable choice is well worth considering. And at just $399, the iPad mini is back down to its lowest price ever." — Bethany Allard, Lead Shopping Reporter

Plus, the notebook feature allows you to write out pages and pages of writing that convert from handwritten notes to text.

However, keep in mind that among the Kindles we've tested, this is Amazon's slowest performing device.

The Amazon Kindle Scribe is also the most expensive Kindle in Amazon's line-up. But ahead of Prime Day, it does have the biggest savings. Normally $569.97, the Amazon Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle is $504.97, saving $65 for 11% off." — Samantha Mangino, Shopping Reporter

Best early Prime Day Echo device deals Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Our pick: Amazon Echo Buds with Active Noise Cancellation $44.99 at Amazon
$139.99 Save $95 Get Deal Why we like it

"This deal's a Prime member exclusive, but it's a good one: the Amazon Echo Buds with ANC are all the way down to $44.99, making them an excellent price for a pair of noise-cancelling earbuds. Admittedly, this drastic of a price drop isn't exactly rare: Just last month, these earbuds received an $85 discount.

These earbuds are a 2021 release, so you won't be getting the latest and greatest tech. Their battery life is just okay at five hours per charge, and their ANC isn't going to be anything mind-blowing. But if you're looking for something that's good enough and at a price that's hard to beat, you'll find it in this deal." — Bethany Allard, Lead Shopping Reporter

Best early Prime Day TV deals Opens in a new window Credit: Insignia Our pick: Insignia 65-inch QF Series QLED 4K Fire TV $349.99 at Amazon
$499.99 Save $150 Get Deal Why we like it

"The cheapest 65-inch QLED TV we're clocking at Amazon ahead of Prime Day isn't an Amazon TV. It is still a Fire TV, but oddly enough, it's from Insignia — a Best Buy brand.

If you have trouble picturing the difference between an LED and QLED TV in your head, this is your chance to try an XL QLED out at home without severely overspending. The Insignia QF series has been garnering quite positive customer reviews on picture quality and color vibrancy. At this price, it's probably not going to have the same pop as some of the premium QLEDs out there, but you'll definitely notice the quantum dot difference compared to your old TV, especially during daytime viewing." — Leah Stodart, Senior Shopping Reporter

Best early Prime Day headphone and earbud deals Our pick: Apple AirPods Max (USB-C) $479.99 at Walmart
$549 Save $69.01 Get Deal Why we like it

Read more from Mashable about the AirPods Max.

"We're hesitant to recommend the AirPods Max because of their sky-high price point, but a $69 price cut makes them slightly more palatable — especially if you're already heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem. At the time of writing, all five colorways are marked down to $479.99. Though it's a deal, it's not quite the best we've seen on these headphones — earlier this year, they dropped all the way down to $449.99. If you want to grab a pair ahead of Prime Day, this is a solid price, but waiting another week might up your chances of grabbing them back at their record-low price." — Bethany Allard, Lead Shopping Reporter

$1,119.99 Save $200 Get Deal Why we like it

"The Galaxy S25+, which launched earlier this year, is just $20 shy of its best price ever ahead of Prime Day — just $919.99 for the 512GB model. While it's not quite as powerful as the S25 Ultra or the latest S25 Edge, it's also a lot easier on your wallet. You'll still get the impressive Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 12GB of RAM, plus a slightly larger and nicer display than the basic S25 (6.7-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with new 'ProScaler' technology), as well as a bigger 4,900mAh battery. Mashable's Chance Townsend calls the S25+ the "sweet spot for battery life and versatility" amongst the S25 lineup. It doesn't look too much different than the S24+, but it'll definitely wow you in terms of internal upgrades — and that's saying something, considering how brilliant the S24 lineup already was." — Christina Buff, Mashable Contributor

Best early Prime Day robot vacuum deals Opens in a new window Credit: Roborock Our pick: Roborock Q7 M5+ robot vacuum and mop $279.99 at Amazon
$429.99 Save $150 Get Deal Why we like it

"This budget Roborock model was also just released this year, but it's been living in the shadow of the big bad Saros trio. Nevertheless, it deserves a spotlight for the value that it packs, especially now that it's under $300 for Prime members ahead of Prime Day. The most impressive feat of the Roborock Q7 M5+ is its 10,000 Pa of suction power — that's far stronger than the norm for cheap robot vacuums. That matches the power of my favorite robot vacuum from 2024, the Roborock Qrevo Master, and is the baseline number I'd recommend for keeping up with substantial pet hair.

Note that the Q7 M5+ does mop and does self-empty, but doesn't wash and dry its own mopping pad like the more premium Roborocks." — Leah Stodart, Senior Shopping Reporter

Best early Prime Day kitchen deals Our pick: Chefman 4-Quart Window Air Fryer $79.99 at Amazon
$99.99 Save $20 Get Deal Why we like it

"If you’ve yet to succumb to the air fryer hype, now’s your chance. The Chefman 4-Quart Window Air Fryer is currently on sale for $60.40, down from $99.99. That's a 40% discount and a $39.59 savings. It's not the absolute lowest price we've seen for this model (it was $49.97 last December), but it's still a solid deal for an Amazon's Choice kitchen appliance.

This mid-sized air fryer is large enough to cook a meal for up to four people, but small enough that it won’t monopolize your counter space. It’s also super user-friendly and has a little viewing window, so you can see what’s going on without opening the basket and letting all the heat escape (I like my stuff extra crispy, so this is a pretty cool feature IMO). There’s also a Hi-Fry button that lets you crank the heat up to 450 degrees in the last two minutes of cooking (again, great for those of us who like extra crispy food)." — Tabitha Britt, Mashable Contributor

Between all of our testers and reviewers at Mashable, we've put in a lot of time testing the best headphones and earbuds. From noise-cancelling to budget options, we want to know the best of the best.

So naturally, when sales like Amazon's Prime Day roll around, we make sure to track all the deals on which models we've tried (and those that are in our testing pipeline). Though Amazon isn't kicking off its members-only sale until July 8, we combed through its headphones pages to find the best deals that are already live.

SEE ALSO: These Prime Day deals landed early — save on Apple, Ninja, and Samsung gadgets

Admittedly, the deals available so far are decent, not great, but shopping early can be a good way to avoid the actual chaos of the sale (or grab deals that aren't member-exclusive). Though the list below is small, it's well curated — we avoided adding any "deals" that have been marked down to their current sale prices for the past several months. (Pro tip: the Apple AirPods Pro are almost always $199. It's not really a sale price.) We'll be updating this list in the run-up to Prime Day as more deals go live.

Best headphones deal Our pick: Apple AirPods Max (USB-C) $479.99 at Amazon
$549 Save $69.01 Get Deal Why we like it

Read more from Mashable about the Apple AirPods Max (USB-C).

Don't love the sky-high pricing on the AirPods Max? This $69 price cut might help. These headphones have excellent noise cancellation and sound quality, alongside lossless audio — a feature not too commonly found, even among premium options.

Less ideal about these headphones is the 20 hours of battery life, which sits far below many of its competitors, the lack of a case that provides real coverage, and the lack of a power button. Still, if you've been waiting to grab the AirPods Max, this is a solid deal. To grab the absolute most savings possible, you might want to wait until they drop all the way down to their $450 record-low price.

Best earbuds deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Our pick: Amazon Echo Buds with Active Noise Cancellation $44.99 at Amazon
$139.99 Save $95 Get Deal Why we like it

Check out our full review of the Amazon Echo Buds with Active Noise Cancellation.

This deal's a Prime member exclusive, but it's a good one: the Amazon Echo Buds with ANC are all the way down to $44.99, making them an excellent price for a pair of noise-cancelling earbuds. Admittedly, this drastic of a price drop isn't exactly rare: Just last month, these earbuds received an $85 discount.

These earbuds are a 2021 release, so you won't be getting the latest and greatest tech. Their battery life is just okay at five hours per charge, and their ANC isn't going to be anything mind-blowing. But if you're looking for something that's good enough and at a price that's hard to beat, you'll find it in this deal.

Having a quality speaker to crank the songs of the summer is never a bad idea, especially if you plan on hosting parties, hitting the beach, or heading out on a camping trip. Fortunately, if you're lacking in the Bluetooth speaker department, now is a great time to score one for a sweet deal — because it's Prime Day, baby (well, almost).

Prime Day formally falls on July 8 through 11 this year, but Amazon has already started dropping prices on top audio brands like Sony, JBL, and Anker Soundcore. We expect the list to grow exponentially over the next few weeks, but if you want to shop a bit early, have at it. Some Bluetooth speakers are already down to record lows.

We'll be tracking the best Bluetooth speaker deals before, during, and after Prime Day and updating this page with the latest and greatest prices. If you don't see anything that catches your eye just yet, be sure to check back as the official sale kicks off.

The Sony ULT Field 3 has only been out for a few months, but it's already earned the title of our favorite speaker for bass lovers. And ahead of Prime Day, it's down to just $144.95 — that's its best price ever. The ULT Field 3 checks all the right boxes for a Bluetooth speaker — it's waterproof, dustproof, shockproof, and rustproof, has great audio quality, solid battery life, and hefty bass you'll feel in your chest.

Early Prime Day deals on Roombas Best cheap Roomba deal iRobot Roomba 104 Combo with AutoEmpty dock $249.99 (save $200) Get Deal Best mopping Roomba deal iRobot Roomba Plus 405 Combo with self-empty station and AutoWash dock $399.99 (save $400) Get Deal

The list of Roombas on sale at Amazon ahead of Prime Day 2025 looks much different than the list of Roombas on sale during Amazon's Big Spring Sale in March. And that's a very, very good thing.

This is because Amazon Prime Day 2025 is the first big sale event for most of the new Roombas that debuted in March (they were far too new to get any real discounts during Amazon's spring sale). And these 2025 Roombas are unlike any Roombas we've seen before.

SEE ALSO: The most underrated robot vacuum of 2025 is also a stick vacuum

iRobot finally read the room and saw that other top robot vacuums from the likes of Shark and Roborock had better features for less money. The newest Roomba vacuums are the company's most practically priced and feature packed in years. The most affordable base-tier model can finally clean specific rooms on command instead of just bump around. Multiple new premium Roombas switched to spinning mopping pads that wash and dry themselves — without costing $1,000.

The newfound cost efficiency renders old iRobot models like the Roomba i3 or Roomba Essential worthless. Amazon is essentially ignoring their existence in the weeks preceding Prime Day, instead shaving between 30% and 54% off the new Roombas for the first time. I'm already tracking all of the worthwhile early Prime Day Roomba deals below, as well as tracking all of Amazon's other early Prime Day robot vacuum deals.

Note: Any deal marked with a 🔥 has dropped to a record-low price at Amazon.

Up until the latest round of Roombas that hit the scene in spring 2025, I'd often actively advise against getting a Roomba as your budget-friendly robot vacuum. The older, entry-level Roombas, like the Roomba 694 and Essential series, didn't even have smart mapping, whereas the entry-level Shark robot vacuums did — often at a lower price point than the cheap Roombas. But after testing the new base-tier Roomba 105, I can finally give iRobot credit for actually putting effort into a cheap Roomba. The Roomba 104 Combo featured here is nearly identical to the 105, but also mops.

The Roomba 104's 7,000 Pa of suction power not only destroys the mediocre suction power of past cheap Roomba vacuums like the Roomba i5, but is actually quite a high number for the price range at all. During testing in my apartment, the 105 barely missed any kitty litter, random crumbs, or surface-level pieces of hair or fur balls. It swept along edges and corners much closer than the other basic Roombas. With this improved cleaning combined with a self-empty dock, this is the most well-rounded Roomba that has ever dropped below $250.
