Your 3D printer's hotend is a ticking time bomb if you've never replaced it
When you're chasing those perfect 3D prints, you probably focus a lot on dialing in slicer settings, getting your flow rates just right, and picking out cool filaments. But you might be overlooking a really fundamental, and possibly dangerous, part of your machine: the hotend.
8 ways to delete a file in Linux—and when to use each
When a file is no longer serving a purpose, it’s time to delete it, and you probably know at least one way of doing so. But there may be more ways than you realize, and each has its own advantages, quirks, and things to teach us.
Stop buying mini PCs for your home server—5 reasons an old Dell OptiPlex actually wins
A mini PC is a solid option for a home server. They're small, relatively cheap, and low-power. I use a mini PC as a home server, but there are several things that my old Dell OptiPlex PC does better.
Why your old Excel spreadsheet is "legacy code" (and how to fix it)
Every Excel spreadsheet eventually starts to rot. If your workbook relies on ancient file formats, hard-coded values, and formulas that look like massive, multi-line blocks of text, you're running legacy code that's slowing you down. And if you don't future-proof it, it's a ticking time bomb. Here's how to spot the rot and modernize your datasets.
This old Samsung phone doubled as a projector, and I’d pay anything for a new version of it
Samsung leads the world in making phones with screens that fold. Long before that, there was a time Samsung made a phone shaped like a point-and-shoot camera. There was also an even weirder time, when Samsung made a phone that was a projector—the Galaxy Beam. The early 2010s were not quite the right time for this phone. 2026 is.

The terminal tricks nobody talks about (but everyone should know)
The best thing about working with the terminal is just how efficient it can be. Imagine if someone gave you a thousand documents and told you to replace specific patterns of text inside those files. You could spend days opening those files in an editor and manually replacing the text inside them. Or you could run a single "sed" command and be done in a few seconds. It genuinely feels like a superpower the more I learn about it and practice it. Here are 6 things I learned that made the terminal less frustrating for me and sped things up at the same time.
9 slicer defaults I consider before every 3D print
The settings you use in your 3D printer’s slicer can massively influence the quality of your print. If you’re having trouble with failed prints, underwhelming print quality, or prints that are weaker than you expected, you should consider changing a few of these settings.

When Amazon drops its latest sale event — such as the Big Spring Sale, which is live through March 31 — it's the perfect time to upgrade your gaming setup.
Gaming is a pricey hobby but there’s no substitute for high-spec, high-performance hardware. It takes the gaming experience to a whole other level and could make the marginal difference between success and failure. Arguably, the monitor is the most crucial of all hardware. So if you’re upgrading, you want the right model — and for the right price. That being the case, we’re recommending this deal on the Samsung 40-inch G7.
Thanks to the Big Spring Sale, the Samsung 40-inch G7 Gaming Monitor is currently priced at $699.99, a massive drop of 42%. This curved monitor is usually priced at $1,199.99, so you’re saving $500 in total.
SEE ALSO: Review: Is the Antigravity A1 drone the DJI replacement we've been hoping for?Samsung are one of the very best when it comes to TVs and monitors, and this model is no exception. A mid-sized monitor, it has an impressively fast refresh rate on 180Hz and a 1ms response time — that means silky smooth gameplay — plus built in gaming spec such as AMD FreeSync Premium Pro. The real star of the show, however, is its ultrawide curved display, which delivers a WUHD resolution (5120 x 2160). Even at a modest 40 inches — ideal for more compact gaming stations — it’s fully immersive.
Don't miss your chance to save $500 on the Samsung 40-inch G7 Gaming Monitor as part of the Amazon Big Spring Sale. Now just $699.99 for a limited time.
Stop filling your main SSD with junk—here's what a 'quarantine drive' actually does
A sentiment long repeated in the computing space is that you should have a separate SSD for your OS and important apps, and a second drive for, well, everything else. But many people don't stop to think about why, and what the exact role of that secondary drive should even be.
The free Linux tool that keeps your terminal sessions alive forever
Even though most Linux distros don't require as much time in the terminal as they used to, eventually, it is going to come up. If you're doing anything remotely, executing a long task, or even just multitasking, the default tools may not be enough. That is where tmux comes in.

When the big sale events hit Amazon, you just know it’s time to snap up a mega smart TV at a mega discount. If you didn’t already know (seriously, shoppers — where have you been?), the Amazon Big Spring Sale is in full flow, with deals across all kinds of products, including laptops, iPads, gaming tech, and — that’s right — TVs.
One of the best TV deals we’ve seen is on the Samsung S95F 65-Inch OLED TV, which has been marked down by a sensational $800. Be sure not to miss it. There are just a few days left, with the Big Spring Sale coming to an end after March 31. The Samsung S95F 65-Inch OLED TV is currently marked down to $2,197.99, a 27% discount from the list price of $2,997.99. According to camelcamelcamel, it’s just one cent off this TV’s record low price.
SEE ALSO: Review: Is the Antigravity A1 drone the DJI replacement we've been hoping for?We can’t recommend the Samsung S95F 65-Inch OLED TV enough. Samsung is among the very best names when it comes to dazzling smart TVs, and this one’s an absolute whopper — 65 inches of OLED 4K magnificence with access to all your favorite streaming platforms via an easy-to-navigate Tizen operating system and AI upscaling.
It’s also stacked with spec for gamers — including a 165Hz refresh rate — and boasts Object Tracking Sound+, a smart audio technology that emits sound from where the action is happening on the screen. So the sound actually travels with the action. Elsewhere in the features package, there’s an AI motion enhancer that smooths out finer details — particularly good for watching fast-paced sports.
Check out the Samsung S95F 65-Inch OLED TV while it's on offer at $2,197.99 — a saving of $800 in the Amazon Big Spring Sale.

If spring cleaning is on your mind, the aptly named Amazon Big Spring Sale is the perfect time to, erm, clean up on marked-down robot vacuums.
That’s right, the third annual Big Spring Sale — which continues through March 31 — has stacks of tech deals, whether you’re in the market for Apple devices, laptops, smart TVs, or even drones. And among those deals is a sleeper price on the Roborock Q10 S5+ Robot Vacuum, a vac and mop combo that does the dirty work on your behalf.
The Roborock Q10 S5+ Robot Vacuum has been marked down by a huge 49%, which puts it at the discounted price of $279.99. That's a total saving of $270 — this robo-vac's biggest ever discount. It's a full $50 cheaper than its previous lowest price.
SEE ALSO: Review: Is the Antigravity A1 drone the DJI replacement we've been hoping for?This robot vacuum can pretty much do it. It tackles both carpets and hard floors thanks to a combination of hard suction vacuuming and a mop system that uses vibration technology. It can detect the difference between floors and automatically lifts its mop pads to prevent carpets getting wet. The robo-vac finds its way around your home using a LiDar navigation system that scans your living space. There’s also multi-level mapping, which means it memorizes up to four different floors, plus safe obstacle avoidance technology.
A dual anti-tangle brush means it’s great for pet owners, automatically untangling hairs as it cleans. It’s also self-emptying, with capacity in the docking station for up to 70 days of dirt before you have to empty it yourself.
All you need to do is programme its multiple modes via the Roborock app and put the daily chore of vacuuming out of your mind. Grab the Roborock Q10 S5+ Robot Vacuum for $279.99 in the Amazon Big Spring Sale and save $270.

We got new iPhones, game-changing MacBooks, and upgraded iPads. And now the Amazon Big Spring Sale is delivering deals on just about everything from the brand.
Of course, not all the best mobile deals are live at Amazon. In fact, T-Mobile is leading the way right now with something special.
You can switch to T-Mobile and get the new iPhone 17 for free or the iPhone 17 Pro for under $100 with no trade-in required. To claim these offers, you must port in an eligible number from a competitor like Verizon or AT&T and sign up for a premium Experience Beyond or Better Value plan.

Alternatively, you can score the iPhone 17e for free when signing up for 24 months of most T-Mobile plans.
It's worth noting that T-Mobile will charge taxes on these "free" deals and a $35 device connection fee. We know that's annoying, but that's always the case with these "free" deals.

The Amazon Big Spring Sale is still going at full charge and runs through March 31.

For instance, if you’ve ever wanted a top-level power station for emergencies, outdoor excursions, or off-grid living, there’s a super-powered deal on the Anker Solix Portable Power Station right now.
The Anker Solix Portable Power Station is currently priced at $3,498.99. That’s a massive 53% off the list price of $7,397. That saves you almost $4,000. According to camelcamelcamel, that’s the lowest-ever price for this power station, expansion battery, and solar panel bundle.
SEE ALSO: Review: Is the Antigravity A1 drone the DJI replacement we've been hoping for?And make no mistake: This power station is a serious piece of kit, delivering 3.84kWh of power — which is expandable to 26.9kWh with additional batteries — with a total capacity of 6,000W. That’s enough to power appliances (it could power your refrigerator for over 14 hours, for instance) or even power your RV when you’re on your travels. It charges via the mains or an included solar panel, which delivers 400W of clean power.

Ive tracked TV prices for years — the best Amazon Spring Sale TV deals are from Hisense and TCL
Most of the year's major flagship TVs announced in January are typically out by the end of March, cueing retailers to push deals on last year's TVs even harder. March was further established as one of the best months to buy a TV when Amazon started holding a massive annual spring sale. The 2026 Big Spring Sale runs from March 25 through 31, and a ton of Amazon TV deals are proving that the annual price drop cycle is real.
SEE ALSO: What to look for when buying a TV, as told through this easy TV specs guideIt's not just Amazon's in-house Fire TVs that see big discounts during the Big Spring Sale (Amazon Fire TVs are hardly the best TVs you can get for the money right now). I've been tracking new TV releases and comparing TV specs at Mashable for years, and I consistently find that the most worthwhile Amazon TV deals are from solid budget brands like TCL and Hisense, with a few sizes of Samsung's The Frame occasionally thrown in.
Pro tip: Best Buy tends to have way more options for deals on flagship Samsung and LG TVs. For instance, Samsung just released its 2026 Neo QLED TVs on March 24 — Best Buy's stock of on-sale 2025 versions of those TVs, like the QN70F and QN80F, has been much more stable than Amazon's this week. Amazon barely has any recent LG TVs in stock at all, while Best Buy has countless 2024 and 2025 QNED and OLED models on sale.
SEE ALSO: Best Buy’s Tech Fest is over, but these deals are still worth your moneyAt any rate, I'm tracking the best sales on TVs at Amazon throughout the end of the Big Spring Sale on March 31, with the rolling list updated as prices change. Every model featured here is at, or lower than, its previous best price based on data from camelcamelcamel, so these are genuinely competitive offers. I'm keeping a special eye out for fresh discounts across the models I've picked as the best 65-inch TVs you can buy so far this year.
Best Big Spring Sale TV deal Hisense 75-inch U7 QLED 4K TV $897.96 at Amazon$1,297.99 Save $400.03 Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it
One TV that's actually beating its previous record-low sale price is the 2025 75-inch Hisense U7. Currently 31% off, it's $103 cheaper than it was just a month ago during Presidents' Day sales.
The 2026 version of the same TV was just unveiled on March 6, so a new price drop on the predecessor model certainly tracks. The 2026 75-inch U7 will cost $1,999.99 — more than $1,000 steeper than the 2025 model's $897.96 sale price. Those are the kind of steals I was talking about. The 65-inch model is also at a new record-low $697.96 if 75 inches is a bit larger than you'd like.
This mini LED model packs a serious punch for the price. Its brightness in SDR and HDR gets consistently great notes across the internet, with glare handling strong enough for most sunlit rooms. You don't always see a 165 Hz refresh rate in budget to mid-range TVs, so the Hisense U7 is a top contender for an XL gaming TV under $1,000.

I test new vacuums every month. Here are the robot vacuum deals worth buying in Amazons Spring Sale.
I have seven robot vacuums in my apartment right at this moment, and those are all just models that have come out in 2026. Perhaps that gives you an idea of how many robot vacuums I test at home on a yearly basis — and why I'm always super confident in telling readers which robot vacuum deals are worth it during any Amazon sale event.
So, I'm back with an updated list of robot vacuum recommendations for Amazon's 2026 Big Spring Sale, which is live now through March 31. A good robot vacuum is a staple in my general spring cleaning starter kit because automating your floor care quite literally frees up some time to focus on the chores you don't do as often.
SEE ALSO: The Shark UV Reveal robot vacuum came out less than a month ago. It's already on sale for Amazon's spring sale.A ton of solid robovacs at all price points are up to 50% off, significantly expanding the number of options within your ideal budget. Even the fanciest flagship Dreame, Roborock, and Shark robot vacuums that just came out are already seeing discounts. I'm tracking all of the best Amazon spring sale robot vacuum deals below.
(Looking for the best cordless vacuum deals or the best spring cleaning deals to restock kitchen, bathroom, and laundry products? I'm tracking those, too.)
Best robot vacuum on sale overall Eufy C28 $499.99 at Amazon$799.99 Save $300 Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Eufy
Read Mashable's review of the Eufy C28.
While I'm stoked that the most powerful robot vacuums of the year are actually seeing decent discounts, they still cost more than $1,000 on sale. So the more realistic route for my "best robot vacuum deal overall" pick is the Eufy C28, now under $500 (compared to its usual $799). It's still a 2026 premium robot vacuum and mop combo that rocked during my testing, and it's likely the most affordable mainstream roller mop robot vacuum you'll find this season.
If you're jaded from a bad mopping robot vacuum experience in the past, it's probably because it smeared dirty water more than it scrubbed. I think that this Eufy's self-rinsing roller mop will change your mind. Its fluffy material is already more absorbent than the typical thin mopping pad — but just to ensure liquid spills aren't being smeared around, the C28's roller gets rinsed with clean water multiple times per second. Its self-emptying dock also washes and dries the mop after each cleaning.
Best budget robot vacuum deal 3i G10+ $199.99 at Amazon$249.99 Save $50 Get Deal at Amazon
Read Mashable's review of the 3i G10+.
In search of a cheap robot vacuum that doesn't suck? The $149.99 Shark Ion robot vacuum that probably popped up first at Amazon is far from the best robot vacuum under $200 during this sale. Instead, I'd point you to a more niche budget pick that wowed me during testing. Last year, I said that the 3i G10+ was "the most impressive robot vacuum under $500" (and that you've probably never heard of it). Now, it's on sale for a record-low $199.99.
The G10+ uses a unique dust compression system to keep you off dustbin emptying duty for 60 days, but without requiring space for a traditional self-empty dock. This means that the G10+ can live under relatively low-clearance furniture like a couch or TV stand. In this price range, I was blown away by its small obstacle avoidance capabilities and livestream pet camera. The Shark Ion doesn't even have smart mapping for cleaning specific rooms on command.
If you don't want to shell out that extra $50, you can spend the same $149.99 on the Roborock Q7 M5. That still secures mopping, room or zone cleaning through LiDAR smart mapping, and 10,000 Pa of suction power, beating the Shark Ion by a long shot.

For day two of the Amazon Big Spring Sale, I hand-picked a fresh batch of tech deals that are actually worth shopping. I've also included some deals from competing retailers — if they have a better price.
Amazon Big Spring Sale tech deals: Best of the best Best Kindle deal Kindle Paperwhite $134.99 (save $25) Get Deal Best Charger Deal Anker Nano 45W GaN Smart Charger $27.99 (save $12) Get Deal Best Budget Headphones Sony WH-CH520 Wireless On-Ear Headphones $48 (save $21.99) Get Deal Best Noise-Cancelling Headphones Sony WH-1000XM6 Noise-Cancelling Headphones $398 (save $61.99) Get Deal Best Drone Deal DJI Neo Mini 4K Drone $149 (save $50) Get Deal Best Fitness Tracker Deal Google Pixel Watch 4 $289.99 (save $60) Get Deal Best Creator Deal DJI Mic Mini $45 (save $14) Get Deal Best Streaming Deal Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select $14.99 (save $25 with code FTVSELECT) Get Deal Best Apple Deal Apple AirPods Pro 3 $199 (save $50) Get Deal Best MacBook Deal Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M4, 16GB RAM, 265GB SSD) $899 (save $100) Get DealBetween inflation, a global memory shortage, and overall economic anxiety (trust me — I'm feeling it, too!), you don't want to miss a chance to save some money.
I've personally tested many of these products, and I'm only recommending products with genuine discounts, because we all know big retailers like to play fast and loose with the definition of the word "deal."
Finally, a word of warning — Apple deals are moving fast. We've already seen the M3 iPad Air, AirTags, and select MacBooks go out of stock.
Kindles starting at $94.99I don't know what I'd do without my Kindle. As an avid book collector, I have literally run out of space to store books, and so I depend on my Kindle Paperwhite. And just like during Black Friday, you can grab my beloved Kindle on sale for $134.99, with the base Kindle available for under $100.

During the Big Spring Sale, you can shop wireless Sony headphones starting at just $48. On day one of the savings event, Sony's flagship cans, the famous XM6 headphones, are also discounted to $398, their best-ever price. I loved these headphones, and as I wrote in my review, "The ANC in the XM6 is as good as or better than any I've ever heard."
However, if you're looking for something in the mid-range, you can also grab the bass-heavy Sony ULT Wear Headphones on sale for $148, another Mashable Choice winner, at a 41% discount.

Amazon always delivers solid Apple discounts during its big sales, and this time around, you can score record-low prices Apple Watches and newly released MacBook Pro laptops. Early shoppers cleaned up on the M4 MacBook Air and M3 iPad Air, which are almost completely out of stock — womp, womp.
Pro tip: If you're looking for the AirPods Max headphones, they're in and out of stock at Amazon but still available at Target and Walmart — for now.

Anker makes my favorite fast chargers, and I literally use the company's GaN USB-C chargers every day of my life. However, the next Anker charger I want to try is this little phone charger, which comes with a smart display and fun colors (you can match it to your iPhone, if you're into that sort of thing).

Yes, technically, DJI drones are banned in the United States, but they're still widely available from third-party sellers at Amazon. (It's complicated.) If you're a creator, real estate professional, or wedding photographer who wants to take beautiful aerial videos in 4K — or just an aspiring pilot looking to have some fun outdoors — these drones are by far the most popular choice.

Amazon Echo device dealsAs per usual, some of the best deals of the spring Amazon sale are on Amazon's own products, particularly in the Echo lineup. I was at the fall 2025 event where Amazon unveiled its new Echo smart home products, which include refreshes to the popular Echo Dot and Echo Show devices. You can also grab Fire TV Sticks starting at just $14.99, letting you stream movies and enjoy cloud gaming at home.

We've been waiting for this one: Our favorite Bose headphones are finally discounted for the Amazon Spring sale. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2), the brand's current flagship, are supremely comfortable. In fact, our reviewer called them the most comfortable headphones in the world, full stop. And if you need something a little more affordable, their younger sibling is also on sale.

During Prime Day, you can grab TVs starting at just $99. However, I recommend spending a little more than that. You can grab a 55-inch Fire TV at a very reasonable price, or a 65-inch Samsung QLED TV, released last year and now getting its first big price cut.
Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for good deals on my favorite TV: The Frame art TV from Samsung. Strangely, The Frame is more expensive during the big Amazon sale.

For the Big Spring Sale, Amazon is going hard with DJI deals, and you can find massive discounts on the brand's popular line of creator gadgets. I personally use the DJI Mic Mini and DJI Osmo Mobile 7P Gimbal when shooting videos for Mashable (check our Instagram story to see my latest).
But let me also call your attention to the cult-favorite DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Vlogging camera, which almost never goes on sale like this. Pro creators and YouTubers are obsessed with this camera (in my review, I wrote, "it should replace whatever vlogging camera you're using now"), so grab it before it goes out of stock again!

Spring cleaning is a big theme during the Big Spring Sale, and one of our all-time favorite Shark vacuums is currently marked down to just $149. The Mashable-tested and approved Shark Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum is a pet hair hero, but you can also save on the brand's popular robot vacuums, now up to 60% off.

Looking for a more premium cleaning machine, preferably one with lasers? Then you need a Dyson Detect stick vac. For the Big Spring Sale, you can grab one of the latest Dyson Detect vacuums, complete with the dust-illuminating laser attachment, while it's on sale.

I'm a big fan of JBL's Bluetooth speakers. In my testing, they've beaten out more expensive Bluetooth speakers from brands like Bose and Sonos. They're also extremely portable, super easy to use, and totally waterproof, i.e., perfect for spring and summer hangouts.

$379.95 Save $80.01 Get Deal HEPA air purifiers for allergy season
Have you heard the bad news? Climate change is making seasonal allergies worse, which I can attest to firsthand. So, if you want to add some fresh air to your apartment or home, get a HEPA air purifier that can remove 99.98% of allergens, bacteria, and other microscopic particles. This Shark model is currently 45% off for Prime members, which is probably why it's almost sold out.

If you want to play games like Borderlands 3, Fallout: New Vegas, and Hogwarts Legacy without buying an expensive console, try this bundle from Amazon. It includes a Fire TV streaming stick and a Luna gaming controller, letting you play games right on Fire TV.

Have you heard of the viral gadget, The Brick? This humble little device blocks you from using your phone during set times so you can break your doomscrolling and screentime addiction — and it works! In her review, Mashable's Sam Mangino wrote that the Brick is "the only thing that cuts my screen time in half."

We've been testing a lot of power stations lately. These versatile devices can help you keep the lights on in an emergency, but they're also helpful for camping, festivals, and creators. One of our favorite Mashable-tested power stations from Anker is 46% off for sping, and you can pick up a bundle from Jackery that includes solar panels, also 46% off.

$1,299 Save $600.01 Get Deal An affordable foldable phone
If you're an Android user on the fence about getting a foldable phone, this deal could help you decide. The Motorola Razr Ultra was the most underrated phone of 2025, and I was impressed by its battery life, display, and design during testing. If you miss flip phones that slip easily into your pocket, then you'll appreciate this one.
During the Amazon Spring Sale, this trendy little flip phone is $500 off at Amazon. It's far more affordable than Samsung's Z Flip 7, too.
