Excel is well-known for being a versatile and powerful desktop app, but I always found the mobile app (iOS and Android) frustrating to use. As it turns out, I was looking at my spreadsheets the wrong way. A little-known feature called Cards View replaces cramped grids with a touch-friendly layout.

Presumably, the whole reason you went to the trouble of setting up a smart home in the first place was to make your life easier, not add more frustration to it. In particular, after putting up your feet in the evening following a long day's work, you want to benefit from all the automation you've carefully installed.

This has been an incredible year to be a reader. Rather than my group chats popping off about the latest buzzy show, we're talking about books. And even if we are talking about TV shows, some of the most popular, like Heated Rivalry and Off Campus, are book adaptations. The new releases of 2026 have caused quite a stir, but where should you start? Well, Amazon Editors have some thoughts.

Amazon Book Editors just dropped their 20 best books of 2026 so far. This list of both fiction and non-fiction includes bestsellers and book club picks. Just in time for summer reading, find out what the best books of 2026 are, according to Amazon Editors. Plus, find out from the editors themselves exactly why they picked the top 10 books of the year.

Insta360 has officially launched the Luna Ultra, a direct competitor to DJI's upcoming Osmo Pocket 4P.

Co-engineered by Leica, the dual-lens handheld gimbal camera aims to distinguish itself via its detachable touchscreen, which enables users to operate the camera from a distance without their phone.

The Insta360 Luna Ultra has been an open semi-secret for months, teased in displays and appearing in influencers' videos long before receiving any official announcement. Solid details about the camera have been scattered and piecemeal, but we knew Insta360 was mounting a challenge to DJI's dominance in handheld gimbals.

Now the company has finally brought the Luna Ultra out of this nebulous stage, releasing official imagery and specs for content creators to pore over. 

Featured Video For You How 6 generations of iPhone captured 20 years of motherhood in 'Motherboard'

The Luna Ultra will have a Leica Summicron lens with a 1-inch sensor, as well as a telephoto lens with a 1/1.3-inch sensor. With 6x lossless zoom and 12x zoom in total, the camera will offer a maximum video resolution of 8K at 30fps, and be able to record 1080p 240fps slow motion as well as 4K timelapse footage at 30fps. 

However, arguably the most intriguing feature distinguishing the Luna Ultra from its competition is its detachable touchscreen. The 2-inch OLED screen can be completely removed, allowing users to monitor and control the camera from a distance of up to 65 feet (20 metres). The Luna Ultra's screen can also be switched between portrait and landscape modes while attached to the camera's handle.

Like the Osmo Pocket 4P, the Insta360 Luna Ultra targets professional filmmakers as well as the quality-conscious content creator. As such, it includes features intended to facilitate professional workflows, such as inbuilt timecodes for multi-camera synching and 10-bit I-Log capture for post-production colour grading.

Insta360 states that the Luna Ultra can run for up to four hours on one charge, with fast charging bringing it back up to 80 percent in around 23 minutes. While it already has 47GB of internal storage, it also uses microSD cards in case you need more space, and comes in two colourways: Cosmic Black and Stellar White.

Various accessories will also be available for the Luna Ultra, with pricing to be announced. These include a Wide-Angle Lens which expands the camera's field of view to 108-degrees, a Black Mist filter, an ND Filter Set, a Mini Fill Light, and a protective case.

The Insta360 Luna Ultra will set you back $769.99, and is available from today.

The NYT Connections puzzle today is not too difficult if you're a drama kid.

Connections is the one of the most popular New York Times word games that's captured the public's attention. 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 today's Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of 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 until the game ends.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

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.

Today's NYT Strands hints are easy if you're good with computers.

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.

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.

TL;DR: Amazon has the Pokémon TCG: First Partner Illustration Collection Series 1 available for $67.53, putting it below TCGplayer’s current $69.60 market price and its own $70 unopened listings.

The Pokémon TCG’s First Partner Illustration Collection has been hard to pin down anywhere near a sensible price since launch. Still, Amazon is now one of the more convenient places to grab Series 1 without paying above market value. 

As of June 10, Amazon is listing the Pokémon TCG: First Partner Illustration Collection—Series 1 for as low as $67.53. In the current market for the trading card game, where prices for these boxes are expected to be quite high, this surprisingly undercuts its market price on TCGplayer, which is currently valued at $69.60, and has its own listings for at least $70. 

Although sold and shipped by third-party seller BlueProton, this Pokémon TCG: First Partner Illustration Collection still comes with Amazon’s 30-day return policy, so you’ve got a safety net if you end up with any problems on delivery. 

If these boxes happen to sell out at this price on Amazon, or you want to save a few more cents, Walmart also has listings as low as $67.50, though returns aren’t an option.  

Inside the box, you’ll get one Pokémon TCG pack containing three of nine illustration rare-style promo trading cards, two additional Pokémon TCG booster packs (one Mega Evolution & one Phantasmal Flames), and one sticker sheet.

Series 1 focuses on first partner Pokémon from Kanto, Sinnoh, and Alola — so Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup, Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio are the chase promo stars. 

The Kanto starters are especially collectible, with the single Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur cards going for as high as $39.99 each on TCGplayer — making the $67.53 charge for the whole box a great money-saving price if you manage to pull them. 

To save more on the latest Pokémon TCG releases, you can grab the six-pack Chaos Rising Booster Bundle for under $50 at Amazon, too. Preorders of the upcoming Mega Moonlit Mega Clefable Tin are also $12 off.

Despite not currently being available on Amazon, the Pokémon TCG’s newly announced Pitch Black expansion — Booster Packs, ETBs, Display Boxes, and Booster Bundles — is available to preorder at TCGplayer.

TL;DR: Amazon has put the Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution — Chaos Rising Booster Display Box back on sale for $264.88, cutting its standard $279.99 list price. That takes $15.11 off the sealed 36-pack box, bringing each Chaos Rising Booster Pack to a low price of about $7.36 before tax.

$279.99 Save $15.11   Get Deal

Chaos Rising prices have been bouncing around since the Mega Evolution expansion landed in the Pokémon TCG. Still, the best way to get the lowest price per pack is to buy the largest box available, which is now on offer at Amazon. 

As of June 10, the Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution — Chaos Rising Booster Display Box is listed on Amazon for $264.88, with $15.11 taken off its current $279.99 list price. The current listing ships from Amazon and is sold by ACG ECOM, with free delivery set for June 16 to 17. At the time of writing, faster delivery on Monday, June 15, is also available. 

At this price, the 36-pack display breaks down to roughly $7.36 per booster before tax. Single Chaos Rising Booster Packs shipped by Amazon cost up to $12.95, meaning you’ll be saving as much as $5.59 each per pack by buying this box, or a total saving of $201.24 when considering all 36. 

On the other hand, you can save a lot more by shopping outside of Amazon this time. Walmart has the same Booster Box listed for $229.95 with free shipping, sold by Realgoodeal and fulfilled by Walmart. TCGplayer is lower still, with unopened English listings starting at $221.99 shipped; that’s even lower than the Chaos Rising Display Box’s market price of $224.55.

Sonos speakers are among the items already discounted, and if you've been looking for a solid subwoofer to add to your audio setup, the Sonos Sub Mini has had $100 knocked off its price at the retailer.

As of June 10, this has brought the price of both the white and black Sonos Sub Mini down from $499 to $399. If you've had your eyes on it, this is a great opportunity to save on it before the Amazon Prime Day sale even begins. It's quite a nice addition to your sound system as well.

From the outside to the inside, there's quite a lot to like about the Sonos Sub Mini. It has a compact, sleek design and is fitted with dual custom woofers that help bring out the bass in the sounds you're listening to, whether you're enjoying a movie or show or blasting music from your favorite album. The woofers face inward as well, which helps cancel out distortion.

It even comes with Trueplay tuning technology, which helps adapt the bass to your room so it sounds rich and full rather than flat or harsh. Pair it with other Sonos speakers - like the Era 100 or Arc Ultra, which are also on sale right now - and your ears are in for quite a treat.

This Sonos Sub Mini deal may not last long. Act fast to save on it at Amazon.
