Best headphone and speaker deals ahead of Amazon's spring sale Best headphone deal Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones $261.90 (Save $113.05) Get Deal Best earbuds deal Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds $219 (Save $80) Get Deal Best Bluetooth speaker deal JBL Charge 5 $119.95 (Save $60) Get Deal

It's confirmed: Amazon's Big Spring Sale is just around the corner, and we've already got our eyes on the best headphones deals ahead of the official kick-off on March 25.

Though the sale itself focuses on more seasonally-centric items like grilling equipment and gardening supplies, last year we saw plenty of headphones and speakers deals go live during the week-long event. While we don't expect as dramatic markdowns as Amazon tends to offer during Prime Day or Black Friday, most of this sale is open to all shoppers — not just Prime members — making it a decent time to double-check your shopping list, whether you're in the market for a new TV or some Tile trackers.

UPDATE: Mar. 18, 2025, 4:00 p.m. EDT Bluesky has restocked its "A WORLD WITHOUT CAESARS" shirt in sizes small through XXL. Shoppers need to place an order within seven days, the company said. Our original story follows.

It was the T-shirt heard around the World Wide Web.

Bluesky CEO Jay Graber made headlines this week for taking the stage at Austin's SXSW wearing an oversized black tee. But it wasn't just any Hanes or Uniqlo basic: The shirt was screenprinted with the phrase "Mundus sine caesaribus," which is Latin for "a world without Caesars" — a clear dig at Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who infamously wore a similar shirt referencing a Roman ruler at the company's developer conference last year.

The shirt was a hit with Bluesky users (and Mashable readers). So on Thursday afternoon, Bluesky made Graber's shirt available for purchase for $40 at worldwithoutcaesars.com, with all proceeds going towards the AT Protocol, the open standard its social network is build upon. The shirt sold out in 30 minutes, according to Emily Liu, Bluesky's head of special projects.

Liu told Mashable that the company isn't sure if it will restock the shirt just yet. We'll update this story if another drop is ever announced.

Graber's shirt was a near copy of the one Zuckerberg donned for Meta Connect 2024 — same design, same typeface, but very different message. The Facebook founder's original shirt read "Aut Zuck aut nihil" ("Zuck or nothing"), a spin on the Latin phrase “Aut Caesar aut nihil” (“Either Caesar or nothing"). Zuckerberg has seemingly spent several years chasing an obsession with the Roman emperor Augustus Caesar.

Mashable's Chance Townsend reported that Graber doubled down on her anti-tech exec messaging in her SXSW keynote, emphasizing the value of open-source, decentralized platforms like Bluesky.

"If a billionaire tried to ruin things, [Bluesky] users could just leave — without losing their identity or data," Graber said.

Bluesky launched in 2023 as an invite-only platform and quickly took off as an alternative to Elon Musk's X. As of March 2025, it has over 32 million users.

While DJI is well known for its excellent consumer drones, the company makes arguably some of the best action cameras too. If you're looking to upgrade your camera for upcoming summer adventures, blogging, or content creation, this DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro bundle is a solid option, and right now it's on sale.

At Nvidia’s annual GTC conference, CEO Jensen Huang announced during his keynote session that the company would be partnering with GM to supercharge the latter's autonomous vehicle and manufacturing operations with AI and cutting-edge chips.

GM will integrate Nvidia’s AI-powered computing systems into its next-gen vehicles, using the chipmaker’s Drive AGX platform — essentially an “AI brain” designed to boost advanced driver assistance features and autonomy, according to The Verge. But it’s not just about cars — Nvidia’s Omniverse 3D graphics platform will also help GM streamline its manufacturing processes with digital twins and virtual simulations.

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

"AI not only optimizes manufacturing processes and accelerates virtual testing but also helps us build smarter vehicles while empowering our workforce to focus on craftsmanship," GM CEO Mary Barra said in a statement.

The partnership comes at a critical time for GM. The automaker has poured billions into autonomous tech with mixed results—most notably, the costly setbacks of its Cruise robotaxi division, which faced safety concerns and a major funding pullback. Now, instead of betting on a separate AV fleet, GM is shifting its focus to bringing self-driving capabilities to consumer vehicles.

For Nvidia, the deal marks another milestone in its growing push into the auto industry, which Huang sees as a trillion-dollar opportunity by 2028. With partnerships spanning Jaguar, Volvo, and Mercedes-Benz, the AI giant is making it clear: the future of driving runs on its chips.

Pebble is back with a pair of new smartwatches—the $150 Core 2 Duo and $225 Core Time 2. Unfortunately, iPhone owners who buy these smartwatches will miss out on a lot of important functionality.

Baseball social media lit up after a jaw-dropping first-inning grab by Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson during an international exhibition game against the Yomiuri Giants. But it wasn’t just the play — a routine yet athletic throw to first — that had fans talking. It was the surreal replay angle that followed.

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

The broadcast showed an ultra-high-tech view of Swanson’s diving grab—so advanced that, for a moment, it seemed AI-generated. However, a Major League Baseball spokesperson offered a simpler explanation in an email to Mashable:

It’s a system called FreeViewpoint developed by Canon. It’s permanently installed in the Tokyo Dome with 160 cameras around the rim of the seating bowl. They essentially stitch video together to create these looks. It’s on the World Feed so every broadcaster will see these clips.

It's so good that fans are clamoring for more.

GOAT is a shape-shifting robot designed to move across almost any terrain by changing its form in real time. It can switch between a flat, rover-like mode for driving and a spherical mode for rolling, saving energy and adapting to different environments. Inspired by animals, GOAT’s flexible design allows it to navigate obstacles without complex sensors, relying instead on simple navigation and its ability to work with the environment. With potential applications in disaster response, environmental monitoring, and even space exploration, GOAT represents a new approach to robotic movement.

Forever 21? More like Never 21, am I right, fellas?

According to CNBC, the fast-fashion company filed for bankruptcy protection for the second time in six years and plans to close all its U.S. stores. People online are devastated. It's the end of an era, and Forever 21 — and the internet — are blaming other fast-fashion retailers like Shein and Temu.

In a court filing reported by CNBC, the company said Shein and Temu "materially and negatively impacted" Forever 21.

"Certain non-U.S. online retailers that compete with the Debtors, such as Temu and Shein, have taken advantage of this exemption and, therefore, have been able to pass significant savings onto consumers," Stephen Coulombe, the operating company’s co-chief restructuring officer, wrote, according to CNBC. "Consequently, retailers that must pay duties and tariffs to purchase product for their stores and warehouses in the United States, such as the Company, have been undercut."

Of course, despite Forever 21 blaming Shein and Temu, it is also fast fashion. All of these companies exploit labor, have disastrous effects on the climate, and encourage overconsumption. According to Business Insider, the average person bought 60 percent more clothing in 2014 than they did in 2000, but they kept the pieces half as long.

Greenpop reported that about 80 billion pieces of clothing are bought every year, a 400 percent increase from two decades ago. However, according to Human Rights Pulse, the vast majority of those pieces, around 85 percent, end up in landfills, leading to mass human rights violations.

If you're like me, you're eagerly anticipating the season two finale of Severance landing on Apple TV+ in a few days. Hopefully we'll get answers to at least some of the Lumon mysteries. In the meantime, Google is getting in on the action with a neat little Severance Easter egg.

As far as third-party browsers go, some people swear by Vivaldi, and with good reason. Now, with version 7.2, it's getting even faster to use—and I'm not just talking about page load times, either.

Home improvement isn't all sunshine and rainbows — without a superintendent, anything that breaks is yours to fix, whether that's with hired help or by yourself. If you prefer the latter method, you're going to need a decent lineup of power tools on hand to keep you prepared for any surprise issues.

It just so happens that a lot of cordless power tools are on sale at Amazon ahead of its Big Spring Sale, from cordless drills, to nail guns, to circular saws. We'll keep track of all of the best deals in the lead-up to and during the event; we've listed them out below so you can spend less time shopping, and more time planning your next home project.

Need to cut down a door after fitting a new carpet? Perhaps your better half wants a new Pergola building just in time for BBQ season? This bad boy will cut through almost anything like butter, even Indian Stone. If you’re looking for a circular saw that can handle serious cuts without feeling like you’re lugging around a cinder block, Bosch has you covered. This beast packs a 15-amp motor that chews through wood like it’s nothing, delivering cuts up to 2-7/16 inches deep at 90 degrees. And at just 10.2 pounds, it won’t leave your arms feeling like jelly by the end of the job. The die-cast magnesium footplate is built for durability, while the high-strength magnesium upper guard keeps things light without sacrificing toughness. It also packs optimized sight lines for better accuracy, bevel louvers to clear dust, and even a saw hook so you’re not awkwardly balancing it between cuts.

This kit will cover nearly every drilling job, from dry walls to hard stone surfaces. The DCD771 drill packs a two-speed transmission (0-450 and 0-1500 RPM), so sinking screws and punching through tougher material is managed by the right level of power at the right time. With 300 unit watts out (UWO), it’s got enough muscle for a wide range of jobs, but its compact, lightweight design means you won’t be fighting to squeeze it into tight spaces. The 1/2-inch single-sleeve ratcheting chuck keeps bits locked in tight, and the ergonomic handle makes sure your hand doesn’t hate you by the end of the day. The DCF885 impact driver keeps things just as efficient with a 5.55-inch front-to-back profile and a weight of just 2.8 pounds—perfect for working in cramped spots. The one-handed loading 1/4-inch hex chuck makes swapping bits a breeze, and the built-in three-LED light ring with a 20-second delay means no more fumbling around in the dark.

I can't put into words how handy it is to have a multi-tool near your tool bench. Pretty much anything that can't be cut with a saw because of the angle is super easy with one of these. Powered by a beefy 3.5A motor, this tool cranks out a variable speed range of 11,000-20,000 OPM, giving you total control for cutting, sanding, or scraping jobs. With six adjustable speed settings, you can dial in the precision for whatever job’s in front of you. The lightweight aluminum gearbox isn’t just tough, it’s built to take a beating and keep going. The tool-free universal attachment system makes switching out accessories fast and frustration-free, while the LED work light ensures you’re not guessing in dim conditions. And because comfort matters when you're on the grind, the rubber over mold grip keeps things steady in your hands. With a 10-foot trade-length cord, you won’t constantly be searching for an extension, and it even comes loaded with a full set of blades, sanding sheets, and a slide-lock case to keep everything organized.

These days, we're all used to dealing with ads while trying to stream YouTube videos and movies, or on all of our streaming devices and services. But how far is too far? Roku has started testing auto-playing video ads before users even get to the home screen before they can even use their TV, and owners are not happy.

BYD has launched new 10C 'megawatt' EV chargers capable of recharging an EV battery to around 250 miles of range in just five minutes. That's right, the 1,000-volt EV platform can charge as fast—or perhaps faster—than a trip to the gas station.

It feels like there’s about a 100:1 ratio of negative-to-positive news headlines around Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Just this week, developers have been told internally to not talk about working on the game, lest they face harassment. At the same time, publisher Ubisoft is desperately fighting off talks of a corporate merger amidst investor troubles. 

I’d prefer not to contribute to that because I think this is the best Assassin’s Creed game in a while, probably at least since 2016’s Origins. After a little more than 30 hours with this gargantuan stabbing simulator, my only real problem with Shadows is that it often feels like a giant boulder being held delicately in place by a single plank of wood. 

This is a big and beautiful game that’s also, unfortunately, buggy enough that I have to write about it. Assassin’s Creed Shadows doesn’t totally upend the series formula and turn it into something else, but its dual-protagonist structure, open-ended design, and series-best stealth mechanics make it a fun tour through history, sometimes in spite of itself.

As you may or may not be aware by now, the main distinction Shadows has over most other AC games is that it has two playable protagonists. 2015’s Syndicate also did this, but it kinda sucked; one of the playable heroes in that game was a doofus in a top hat who looked like a nerdcore rapper and was, for reasons I cannot imagine, the one you had to play as in most story missions. 

Shadows executes this idea approximately ten thousand times better than Syndicate did. The female shinobi Naoe joins with the African slave-turned-samurai Yasuke (a real historical man, a first for an AC protagonist) to take down all the evildoers who are subjugating the people of 16th-century Japan, and maybe get some revenge along the way. Like the rest of the series, Shadows takes itself pretty seriously in its storytelling and is, in a word, a little swagless. There are times when it tries to include stylistic visual or musical flourishes, which I appreciate, but this isn’t Ninja Gaiden. 

Regardless, once you get past a lengthy (it took me close to 15 hours) opening chapter, Shadows opens up. After that, you can switch between Naoe and Yasuke at will from the pause menu, and play almost any mission as whoever you want. Yasuke is a big brute who can unlock doors by sprinting through them and murder guys with a variety of cool weapons, while Naoe is easily the most lithe and nimble protagonist the series has ever had, making her perfect for sneaking around. 

Yasuke is also pretty rad. Credit: Ubisoft/Steam

Allowing players to tackle most objectives with whichever character they want is a big step up from Syndicate, and it also doesn’t hurt that Yasuke and Naoe are both very cool. As a nice bonus, this is the best pure stealth game in the Assassin’s Creed series when you’re playing as Naoe. Ubisoft has added a bunch of fun variables you have to think about: enemies who can see from much farther away, walking surfaces that make more noise than others, dynamic weather that can mask your movements, the ability to go prone, and shadows that can make you invisible in the right circumstances.

All of that combined with Naoe’s fun arsenal of ninja moves and tools makes her an absolute joy to play. Snooping around a big castle while meticulously stabbing everyone in your way is the best it’s ever been here. Yasuke’s alright, too, if you’d rather fight your way through challenges, but that’s not really how I like to play these games. I appreciate that the option is there for other people, though.

I would say the most interesting thing about Shadows from a design standpoint is how freeform it is after that opening chapter. There are suggested story missions for you to do, but you can also do things in basically any order you want. I’ve stumbled onto story missions earlier than I was supposed to, totally by accident, which is awesome. Shadows also doesn’t put specific waypoints on the map for mission objectives; instead, you have to assign scouts to find the objectives based on hints the game gives you. 

The best part of all of this is that a huge amount of missions revolve around assassinating people. In 30 hours, I have not done a single tailing or escorting mission. There are tons of optional targets who provide interesting, fun challenges and give excellent gear as rewards for taking them down. This is the first AC game in a long time (aside from the more focused offshoot Mirage) where assassination is the main thing you’re doing most of the time. It’s cool.

It just doesn’t work all the time I love crawling around. Credit: Ubisoft/Steam

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a very good Assassin’s Creed game, with one very problematic quality: During the review period, it had a bad habit of rendering itself unplayable from time to time. 

To be more specific, Shadows had a nasty problem for me where playing for longer than 60 to 90 minutes at a time made a bunch of weird crap start happening. Load times (which are normally very snappy) became several minutes long in some cases, while the UI would take forever to load once I was back in gameplay. Additionally, all menus slowed to a crawl. At its worst, there was one instance where the act of pausing the game and hitting the save button, which normally takes about 10 seconds, took at least five minutes.

This happened to me during a flashback story mission, which created other problems on top of itself. At one point, a cutscene just decided not to trigger, leaving me perpetually stuck between four invisible walls, unable to continue the game until I reloaded my last checkpoint. 

Yes, you can still do this. Credit: Ubisoft/Steam

A couple of caveats are necessary here. First, I’m playing on a PS5 Pro and have no idea if this is a problem anyone else has had on any other platforms. I should also mention the game looks beautiful and runs fantastically in that format aside from this bug. Second, there’s every possibility that by the time regular people have their hands on Shadows, this has been fixed. But I can’t just not mention something so disruptive that’s also so easy to recreate.

I am no software engineer, so I don’t know if this is a quick fix for Ubisoft or not. Given the game’s multiple delays, it really feels like Shadows is coming in a little hot. I don’t think this should be enough to dissuade anyone from playing Shadows by itself, but it’s worth knowing about.

Despite all of that, my first 30 hours with Shadows have been pretty positive. This game feels enormous, like I could potentially play 30 more hours. Maybe it’ll get old before then, maybe it won’t. But I can confirm that the people who are mad because Ubisoft made Assassin’s Creed “woke” or whatever are morons who will be missing out on a good game.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is set to deliver remarks on Tuesday. It's widely expected he'll share details on the company's latest chips used in artificial intelligence.

Huang is scheduled to speak 1 p.m. ET. You can watch his keynote address on YouTube or embedded below.

We've covered the latest rumors surrounding Nvidia's forthcoming product releases, but lots more is expected from Huang's remarks at Nvidia's GTC conference on Tuesday. Huang is expected to announced the Blackwell Ultra, a premium version of its flagship AI chip, as well as news about the company's next GPU platform.

The tech world and Wall Street will certainly be interested in Huang's keynote. The sudden rise of China's AI startup DeepSeek sparked a sharp fall in Nvidia's share price at the beginning of this year. The company's plans moving forward could certainly inspire a rise or fall amid that shift in the market.
