IT General

As we head into the end of June, and we await the new crop of movies and shows from Paramount+ (a new season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, yes please), documentary hunters will still appreciate that the streaming service still has a deep, deep well of content to pull from.

Haaland has scored three so far in this tournament and Mbappe has scored four. Both Norway and France have already qualified for the knockouts so this is now a contest for total group dominance.

The best VPNs for streaming are not free, but most do offer free-trials or money-back guarantees. By leveraging these offers, you can access free live streams of the 2026 World Cup without actually spending anything. This obviously isn't a long-term solution, but it does give you enough time to stream Norway vs. France (plus more World Cup fixtures) before recovering your investment.

ExpressVPN's regular 30-day money back guarantee is not available for any subscriptions purchased during the FIFA World Cup between June 10 and July 11. ExpressVPN remains our top pick for sport, but you will need to pay the monthly rate. Alternatively, Proton VPN still offers that all-important money-back guarantee.

Updated on Friday, June 26 at 12:45 p.m. ET — When we originally compared the LG C5 versus the Samsung S90F OLED TV Prime Day deals (looking specifically at the 65-inch versions), we gave Samsung a slight edge. However, on the final day of the sale, Amazon dropped prices on the LG set by an additional $100, bringing the sale price down to $1,099.99.

That's $100 less than the Samsung, and the lowest price ever for this particular TV. With that in mind, we have to update our recommendation.

So, if you only buy one of these award-winning OLED TVs on sale for Prime Day, we have to recommend the LG C5 Series.

Keep scrolling to read our original article comparing these two Prime Day TV deals.

A lot of savvy shoppers save big-ticket purchases for major shopping events like Amazon Prime Day or Black Friday, and that's exactly what the Mashable shopping team recommends. These are the two best times of year to find deals on TVs, and this year's best Prime Day deals don't disappoint. Speaking of Prime Day 2026, two of the best OLED TVs in the world are down to their lowest-ever prices.

The Samsung S90F 65-inch OLED TV is marked down to $1,197.99, while the 65-inch LG C5 OLED has a Prime Day price of $1,199. With a price difference of just $2, which should you choose?

As Mashable's tech editor, I'm here to help you decide. I also have very good news: There are no wrong decisions here.

If money was no object, we'd certainly spring for Samsung's flagship OLED, the S95F, which features Art Mode and the same anti-glare technology that made The Frame Art TV from Samsung so famous. But for most people, money is most definitely an object. Hence, the S90F. While you lose out on these two critical features, these two TVs are otherwise extremely similar.

Technically, the S90F is a mid-range set, but is still has a high native refresh rate of 144Hz, a gorgeous 4K OLED display, and an AI processor for upscaling content. It also has a peak brightness of 1,600 nits, which is bright enough for virtually any indoor setting.

Plus, Samsung TVs have a reputation for lasting a long time, and the Samsung smart TV UX is pretty painless.

Why buy the LG C5 OLED TV during Prime Day?

While Samsung has caught up quite a bit in recent years, LG had the OLED TV market on lock for quite awhile. LG's famous C Series TVs have won tons of TV of the year awards, and you can always count on the new C Series release to be one of, if not the best, TV of the year. However, until we see the new LG C6 go on sale, a lot of TV reviewers are still recommending the 2025 C5 model, which already has a killer display and feature set.

Like the S90F, the LG C5 supports HDR10 and HLG, but unlike the Samsung, it does support Dolby Vision. Most reviewers agree that the Samsung is slightly brighter, though not noticeably so.

Overall, these TVs have remarkably similar specs, which probably explains the near-identical price tags.

My choice: Samsung by a hair

Overall, I can't say that one of these TV's is definitively better than the other. The choice ultimately comes down to which product ecosystem you prefer, and for my money, that's Samsung. For what it's worth, my colleagues at CNET recently named the Samsung S90F the best TV to buy in 2026, with LG as a close runner-up. (Disclosure: CNET and Mashable are both owned by the same parent company, Ziff Davis.)

Other sizes of these TVs are on sale for Prime Day 2026, but I think 65-inch, flat-screen TVs are the Platonic ideal for this product category. Like I said, there are no bad choices here:

• Samsung 65-inch S90F OLED 4K TV — $1,197.99 $1,697.99 (save $500)  ✅

• LG C5 Series 65-inch OLED 4K TV — $1,199.99 $1,396.99 (save $197)

Heading into this summer weekend, I have a handful of fun Raspberry Pi projects for you to try. From home security upgrades to network infrastructure, here are three fun Raspberry Pi projects to do this weekend.

VidCon 2026 inducted its second class of Hall of Famers on Thursday, with creators Markiplier, Philip DeFranco, Michelle Phan, and Blogilates founder Cassey Ho honored as influential champions of digital culture.

Markiplier (aka Mark Fischbach) has been a YouTube cornerstone since 2012. The 36-year-old creator (and Mashable 101 alumnus) delivered an emotional speech during VidCon Anaheim's Opening Night Celebration, and Mashable caught up with him afterward.

"I've had many meme phases in my life. One of them was that I cry all the time in videos, and people've kind of forgotten about that," he told Mashable digital culture editor Crystal Bell.

"I don't really mind awards, but I really, really, really care about people making things, and wanting to make things. More importantly than anything, I've said inspiration is the most valuable currency that people have, and some people really, really just need inspiration to be able to go to the next step and make the next thing, and see it in themselves that they can make it, So if I can show that, that makes me really happy, seeing people behind stage actually coming up to me, that means so much more than this. This is meaningful, I swear it's meaningful, but really that personal connection is more meaningful."

2026 has already been a major year for Markiplier, with his pivot to cinema seeing his feature debut, horror movie Iron Lung, hitting cinemas in January with an extended theatrical run before streaming on YouTube in May. What advice does Markiplier have for budding creators and filmmakers — to go the Hollywood or social media route?

"I think it's perfectly valid to start on YouTube, start on TikTok. I think it's also perfectly valid to go the traditional path," said Markiplier. "You go to film school, you can pitch your script out there, you can write a book first, and maybe sell that. You could make short films with your friends, you can start building an audience right away, and that's the power of social media. You get a leg up because you already have people that let you make from. And it's much harder in the traditional sphere to do that."

You can watch the whole interview above, and for all things VidCon, Mashable has you covered.

Everybody I know has that one drawer full of dead phone chargers, a couple of HDMI cables, and somewhere at the bottom, an old cable modem you swapped out years ago. I almost threw mine out a dozen times, but I'm so glad I didn't, because that dusty little box turned into the single most useful thing I own for figuring out why my internet keeps cutting out.

While bets soar across online prediction markets, some Polymarket users may have seen their wallets thin — not because of losing predictions, but because hackers weaseled their way into their accounts.

SEE ALSO: FCC ID mandate plans could kill anonymous burner phones

The prediction market platform announced the breach on Thursday (June 25) via X, explaining that attackers had gained access to an undisclosed number of user accounts after compromising a third-party vendor. Hackers injected malicious script into Polymarket's frontend, which was spotted and contained by the platform, but not before the hackers siphoned funds from affected users.

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

The platform said it will notify users and fully refund any lost money, but has not yet shared any more details on the incident.

The attack may have been part of a large scale phishing attempt aimed at cryptocurrency wallets, reported TechCrunch, after blockchain monitoring firm PeckShield spotted $3 million in cryptocurrency leaving Polymarket accounts and transferring to Ethereum.

Polymarket only just announced it reached more than $1 billion in annualized revenue, as trading reaches all time highs during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

But the Donald Trump Jr.-backed platform has also been mired in controversy, including a recent Wall Street Journal report that found Polymarket had paid influencers to post misleading advertisements that were then boosted by an "army" of social media accounts.

Termux is one of my favorite mobile apps. Since discovering the terminal emulator a few months back, I've been having fun with experiments. It got me thinking about how some of the apps available as packages might perform better than existing Play Store apps.

Despite a torrential storm, broken pipes, and a rampaging spoon thief, The Bear Season 5 — and therefore the series as a whole — managed to cook up a happy ending.

SEE ALSO: 'The Bear' reheats 'The Pitt's nachos in a baffling Season 5: Review

The Bear earned not one but two Michelin stars from Michelin inspector Peter Clark (Gary Janetti), who visited the restaurant in Season 4. (The man everyone thought was the inspector in Season 5, played by Peter Grosz, was just a red herring.) Thanks to its new, doubly stellar rating, the Bear is able to stay in business, meaning Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), Tina (Liza Colón-Zayas), Marcus (Lionel Boyce), and the rest of the Bear's staff are able to keep cooking up a storm in the kitchen they worked so hard to build.

Outside the kitchen, Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) gets the opportunity to fly to Japan for a hospitality conference, and Jess (Sarah Ramos) is coming with him. While I'm not the biggest fan of how The Bear has handled its romances in the past, the reveal of the two holding hands on the plane did cause my Grinch heart to grow three sizes. Elsewhere, Ebra (Edwin Lee Gibson) kickstarts the Beef's ghost kitchen empire, with emphatic approval from Carmy (Jeremy Allen White).

Speaking of Carmy, what happened to The Bear's main Bear?

Season 5 of The Bear finally lets Carmy move on.

In The Bear's series finale, Carmy makes good on his promise from the end of Season 4. He officially leaves the food industry.

His mind was made up before he participated in what might have been the Bear's final night, but even then, that last service was proof that he needed to escape this line of work. Between a blowup fight over his quitting announcement to his panic over a dropped lamb dish, Season 5 made it clearer than ever to Carmy that working in a restaurant simply isn't healthy for him. The reverse is also true: Carmy's behavior in the kitchen has repeatedly created a hostile work environment for his coworkers, something he has grown to recognize and tried to change over the show's run.

In a Season 5 conversation emblematic of Carmy's understanding of his unhealthy relationship with restaurant work, he compares his response to stress to Sydney's own coping mechanism. When she gets frustrated, she heads out to the Bear's empty back alley to yell into the void. Carmy, on the other hand, knows that he would just yell at other people, and that knowledge is why he needs to leave the industry.

Carmy explores a new passion in The Bear's series finale.

While The Bear Season 5 doesn't actually explore Carmy's new life beyond cooking — which feels like a bit of a cop-out given the bombshell of Season 4's ending — it does give viewers a taste of what's in store for ex-chef Carmy. In the series finale, Carmy interviews for an internship at an architecture firm, suggesting a new career path that would still let him exercise his creativity.

The Bear has established Carmy's love of art and design often throughout its run, between his elaborately structured dishes and his gorgeous drawings of his creations. On top of that, Season 4 featured a long sequence of him visiting and admiring famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright's home and studio in Oak Park, just outside of Chicago. Clearly, he has an eye for the field, and in his final appearance at Richie's daughter Eva's (Annabelle Toomey) birthday party, he already seems to be more at peace outside the restaurant world. Here's hoping he can let it rip in his new career.

The Bear Season 5 is now streaming in its entirety on Hulu. Episodes also air Thursday nights at 9 p.m. ET on FX.

It's World Cup season, so half of Netflix's U.S. viewership is glued to soccer while the other half is still untangling Harlan Coben's I Will Find You or still arguing over how Outlast: The Jungleplayed out. There’s still plenty to scroll past on the streaming service, but every so often it pays to step out of the fiction aisle and into the documentaries, which is where this weekly list comes in.

The small block V8 has been the engine that defines what an American truck sounds, feels, and performs like. Every full-size truck, regardless of the manufacturer, was bound to have a V8. But over time, trucks have moved away from the V8 engines that have traditionally defined them.

Apple is not immune to the scourge of RAMageddon. On Thursday, the company announced that many of its flagship products would increase in price due to the current tough tech economy. But what didn't get a price increase?

That's what we're here to figure out. While many product categories, such as MacBooks and iPads, were subject to this change, a few major ones weren't. Here are the Apple products that did not get price hikes this week.

SEE ALSO: Prime Day ends today: Last chance to score 150+ best deals on Apple, DJI, Kindle, and Lego favorites iPhones

The big headliner here is the iPhone. Apple's most important product was exempt from this week's price hikes, with each model available on the Apple Store online remaining at its regular MSRP. These include:

• iPhone 16

• iPhone 16 Plus

• iPhone 17e

• iPhone 17

• iPhone Air

• iPhone 17 Pro

• iPhone 17 Pro Max

SEE ALSO: 7 Prime Day iPhone deals to get ahead of the price increase, including a free iPhone from T-Mobile

If you want to buy one of those devices, it will cost the same now as it did a week ago. That said, Apple is going to announce a new batch of iPhones in September, so it will be interesting to see if those devices see a rise in sticker price.

Apple Watches

Next up is the Apple Watch. Apple did not increase prices on the following models:

• Apple Watch Hermès Ultra 3

• Apple Watch Hermès Series 11

• Apple Watch Ultra 3

• Apple Watch SE 3

• Apple Watch Series 11

SEE ALSO: Last chance: Save 30% on the Apple Watch Series 11 before Prime Day ends today

Apple maintained iPhone prices despite the ongoing global memory shortage, possibly to keep consumers happy, but Apple Watches likely do not require nearly as much onboard memory as a smartphone. That may explain why these devices stayed at the same price as before.

AirPods

Lastly, Apple elected to keep the available AirPods models at their normal prices:

• AirPods 4

• AirPods 4 ANC

• AirPods Pro 3

• AirPods Max 2

SEE ALSO: The best Prime Day AirPods deals you can still shop on the final day

Again, the memory shortage probably doesn't affect earbuds to the same degree that it would affect a phone, laptop, or tablet. It's not a surprise, then, that AirPods were not affected.

Now that we've established which Apple devices were safe from price hikes, all eyes are on the iPhone 18.

My MacBook has been through the trenches with me — UX/UI design school, late-night freelance deadlines, and way too many coffee shop sessions to count. For a while, I split my setup between a laptop and an iPad. In theory, it worked (the iPad for design work, the laptop for everything else), but carrying both around got annoying fast.

As someone constantly bouncing between writing, editing, and design, I just needed one machine that could actually keep up. So, a little impulsively, I upgraded to a MacBook Neo and fully committed to the one-device life.

Having one device means I keep everything stored on it, work and personal, and that's where CleanMyMac comes in. It's a user-friendly tool to help you keep the digital clutter under control.

Opens in a new window Credit: MacPaw CleanMyMac Find much-needed storage space and reduce computer clutter. Shop Now The high cost of digital weight

At first, the new Mac handled everything pretty well. Then the cracks started showing up at the absolute worst moments. I’m talking lags and storage warnings popping up mid-deadline because I had Photoshop, Illustrator, and a dozen oversized image files open at the same time. Creative work adds up fast. High-res scans, layered TIFFs, raw photos, and random downloads you swear you’ll organize later quickly turn your desktop into an overflowing digital storage unit.

Maintaining a laptop is its own administrative chore that often carries a hidden mental weight. A recent CleanMyMac report found that over 60% of users stress about low storage, yet the fear of losing important files keeps them from decluttering, even though 81% report feeling a sense of relief once they finally do.

A smoothly running computer often requires digging through hidden caches, deleting leftovers from apps you forgot existed, and figuring out what’s actually safe to remove. It’s the kind of maintenance nobody really talks about until your computer starts overheating for help.

I realized pretty quickly that consolidating everything onto one machine meant I needed a better way to look after it — a laptop is only as good as the storage and processing power you still have left. That search led me to CleanMyMac.

First impressions and Smart Care

Setup took a couple of minutes. Once installed, CleanMyMac opens straight into Smart Care, which runs a full system scan and pulls everything into one dashboard before touching anything. With a single click, it checks for system junk (like bloated application caches from heavy design apps), runs a background malware scan, and checks for critical application updates. In less than two minutes, it flushed out the temporary file buildup that was clogging my system memory, giving me a fresh, fast machine ready for heavy rendering when I open my next canvas.

What I like most is that nothing gets deleted automatically. The app flags everything first, which matters when you work with creative files you absolutely cannot afford to lose. After looking through the scan results, I cleared out the obvious junk and immediately freed up space without accidentally wiping anything important.

Favorite features: file cleanup, finding duplicates, and more Credit: MacPaw

One of the most frustrating things about using a laptop long-term is how quietly it accumulates clutter and the My Clutter feature helped it come to the surface. I knew my biggest offender was going to be duplicates. I'm guilty of redownloading the same files, moving images across clouds, and saving things twice without realizing it. The duplicate count CleanMyMac surfaced was genuinely embarrassing, including random documents and downloads I had no memory of saving twice.

Space Lens was another feature that caught me off guard by how useful it turned out to be. It builds a visual map of everything on your drive, representing folders and files as bubbles sized by the space they take up. For someone like me who hoards pictures of textures taken on a phone camera and half-finished project folders across random directories, seeing it laid out visually made it immediately obvious what needed to go. I found folders I'd completely forgotten about buried three levels deep.

Credit: MacPaw

Cloud Cleanup handled the rest, syncing my iCloud and Google Drive to offload local copies of files I don't need sitting on my machine.

Easy long-term health monitoring

Waiting until your Mac literally dies on you to fix it is exhausting. It's way better to just make it a background habit. CleanMyMac handles this via its menu bar app, which sits neatly at the top of my screen while I work.

When I’m building a heavy collage project, a quick glance at the menu icon shows me a real-time health score of my system. I can monitor my memory pressure, keep an eye on CPU temperatures, and see exactly which background applications are hogging resources. If a design app starts misbehaving or using up all my RAM, I can safely quit it from the menu bar before it crashes my entire project.

If delegating the chore of digital decluttering sounds like a relief, CleanMyMac might be the perfect solution for you.

As generative AI makes it easier than ever to produce videos, images, music, and entire social media accounts with a few prompts, creators are facing a new question: How do you stand out when everyone suddenly has the tools to make content?

That question sat at the center of a VidCon panel titled "AI, Authenticity, and the Slop Problem: What Can We Actually Do Now?" Rather than treating AI as an existential threat, the panelists — a mix of creators, investors, media executives, and labor leaders — argued that the creators most likely to thrive are those who lean into qualities AI still struggles to replicate: genuine expertise, creative intention, and real community.

What is AI slop?

The conversation began with a deceptively simple prompt: Define "AI slop." The answers weren't as straightforward as you might expect.

For Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, SAG-AFTRA's national executive director and chief negotiator, slop is content that lacks "human creativity and human values." Legendary Jay, whose cinematic edits have earned millions of followers online, described it as work that "completely lacks intention." Venture capitalist Megan Lightcap argued that slop doesn't even have to be AI-generated. Sometimes, she said, humans rely so heavily on AI tools that the result simply feels "soulless."

Linguist and creator Adam Aleksic pushed the definition even further.

"The better question is not what is slop, but under what circumstances is slop produced," he said. His answer wasn't AI itself. It was the internet's incentive structure.

Platforms reward speed, scale, and engagement. AI simply makes it dramatically easier to produce content that satisfies those incentives, flooding feeds with material designed to perform rather than connect.

SEE ALSO: VidCon 2026: Live updates from the internet's biggest weekend

AI, several speakers argued, isn't inherently the problem. Crabtree-Ireland pointed to musicians experimenting with AI during the creative process as an example of technology supporting artistry rather than replacing it. What concerned him wasn't artists using AI to expand their work, but people using it to impersonate creators, duplicate their likenesses, or mass-produce derivative content that overwhelms platforms.

For creators wondering how to compete, the panel offered a surprisingly optimistic answer.

Make work that couldn't have come from anyone else

Legendary Jay argued that as AI-generated content becomes increasingly common, genuinely original work will become easier, not harder, to recognize.

"When something truly special comes out amongst mediocrity like that," he said, "it really lowers the platform for diamonds in the rough to shine above."

SEE ALSO: VidCon Hall of Fame awards get emotional as Markiplier, pioneers accept awards

Aleksic cautioned against chasing authenticity simply because audiences value it. That, he argued, creates another performance. Instead, he encouraged creators to follow their own interests rather than optimizing for whatever the algorithm currently rewards.

"Follow your natural inclination to do the thing you want to do," he said. "That's actual authenticity versus this weird pseudo-authenticity that people can smell out a mile away."

The panelists also suggested that creators may need to rethink how they measure success altogether. Likes, views, and comments have become increasingly unreliable as bots, engagement farming, and AI-generated accounts proliferate across social platforms.

Instead, Lightcap encouraged creators to focus on signals that are much harder to fake: Will people leave their house to attend an event? Will they pay for a product? Are they willing to become part of a real community?

Keith Soljacich, executive vice president and head of innovation at Publicis Media, echoed that idea from a business perspective. Rather than depending entirely on platform algorithms, he encouraged creators to diversify their revenue streams through products, live experiences, and businesses that don't disappear if recommendation systems change overnight.

"The internet always wins," he said. "If you can diversify, you can protect yourself."

Protecting creators themselves was another recurring theme.

Crabtree-Ireland highlighted ongoing efforts to strengthen legal protections for AI-generated likenesses, citing proposed legislation such as the No Fakes Act, which would give people greater control over the use of their faces, voices, and likenesses online. He also urged creators to take advantage of platform tools designed to detect unauthorized AI-generated content before it spreads.

Despite the discussion's focus on AI, the panel repeatedly returned to a more familiar truth about the internet: technology changes, incentives evolve, and algorithms come and go.

The creators who endure tend to be those who offer something that can't easily be automated, who have a distinctive point of view, expertise earned through experience, and a community built on trust rather than clicks.

As generative AI continues to lower the barrier to creating content, those human qualities may become creators' biggest competitive advantage.

If you're not ready to completely replace your old TV (and dish out the money to do so), but you want a speedier, more modern streaming experience, grabbing a streaming stick is the move. Their simple plug-and-play design can completely transform any TV with an HDMI port for a whole lot cheaper than getting a new one — especially if you grab one during Prime Day.

We're in the final hours of Prime Day, as it concludes at the EOD on June 26, but our shopping team has spotted hundreds of deals still live and worth grabbing. From streaming services to devices, I'll be tracking all of the best streaming deals until the final hours of the shopping event. And yes, there are also plenty of TV deals still up for grabs if you do decide to take the leap.

Amazon Fire TV Sticks are definitely running the show (no surprise there), but there are a few noteworthy deals from Roku and Google in the mix as well. In fact, the Google 4K streamer and Roku Ultra actually got cheaper on the final day of Prime Day. Here are the best live Prime Day streaming stick deals to shop.

Psst: Looking for deals on streaming services? Check out my guide to the best Prime Day streaming deals overall. And be sure to follow along with all shopping updates in Mashable's Prime Day hub so you don't miss any great deals.

The Fire TV Stick 4K Plus is the most affordable Fire TV Stick in Amazon's lineup that offers 4K quality with HDR10+ support, as well as Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. It still features the old Android-based operating system, which can be slightly laggy, but overall it's well-loved by many longtime users. It also still allows for sideloading apps if you're into that. (Starting with the 4K Select model, all future Fire TV Sticks will switch to the Linux-based Vega operating system).

While this deal required an on-page coupon ahead of Prime Day, now that the shopping event is in full swing, all Prime members can score 50% off this streaming stick. This is the lowest price on record.

I'd be remiss not to mention the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select deal for just $9.99. It was one of Mashable shoppers' favorite deals during Black Friday and it has returned for Prime Day 2026 in all its glory.

A few things to note: the 4K Select is Amazon's newest Fire TV Stick that offers 4K quality with HDR10+ support and the first to feature the new Linux-based Vega operating system. What does that mean for you? If you thought the older Fire TV Sticks were a little laggy or slow, the new operating system should feel more speedy and streamlined. If you like to sideload apps, this streaming stick won't allow you to do that (you're better off with an older model).

You'll need to select the on-page coupon code (if you're one of the lucky ones that can see it) to score the deal. Still, $9.99 for a streaming stick feels almost like stealing.

Last year, Amazon surprised us by dropping a boatload of Prime Day streaming deals for the first time. In 2026, it's basically rinse and repeat. And that's not a bad thing.

Prime Day isn't just for deals on TVs and headphones anymore — it's also a great time to load up your digital libraries with streaming subscriptions, so long as you're a Prime member. (Not yet a member? Sign up here.) One of the biggest perks of having a Prime account is gaining access to Prime Video, Amazon's own streaming service. While Prime Video itself isn't on sale, tons of subscription add-ons are on sale for as low as 99 cents (seriously), including premium options like Apple TV, AMC+, and Paramount+.

A few standalone streaming services are also discounted for Prime Day, like HBO Max and Paramount+, if you're not a Prime member and have no interest in becoming one.

This will likely be your only chance to score a steep discount on a streaming service until the end of the year, so I recommend jumping on any deal that catches your eye. Prime Day ends tonight (3 a.m. ET), and many of these deals will disappear when the timer runs out.

HBO Max always gives us one of the best streaming deals for Black Friday, but this is the first time it's decided to hop aboard the Prime Day express. And it's kicking off its Prime Day deal debut with a bang: new and returning subscribers can get any annual subscription for 40% off. Yes, that means this deal isn't just limited to the ad-supported tier like it is on Black Friday.

Typically, HBO Max annual subscriptions cost $109.99 for the Basic with ads tier, $184.99 for Standard (no ads), and $229.99 for Premium (no ads + 4K). For Prime Day, however, you'll only pay $78.99, $132.99, or $164.99, respectively. After your first year, your subscription will revert to full price unless you cancel. Still, that's 12 whole months of streaming for 40% less than usual. Unlike most of the other streaming deals on this list, this one will stick around through July 15, so be sure to secure your year of streaming before then.

Psst: If you don't want to deal with logging into another streaming service, this deal is also available in the form of a Prime Video add-on or Roku add-on.

Best Prime Day streaming add-on deal Paramount+ streaming deals: Standalone deal Paramount+ Premium $0.99/month for 2 months (save $13/month) Get Deal prime video add-on Paramount+ (Prime Video add-on) $0.99/month for 2 months (save $13/month) Get Deal Roku add-on Paramount+ Premium (Roku add-on) $0.99/month for 2 months (save $13/month) Get Deal Why we like it

Like clockwork, we can always count on Paramount+ to dish out one of the best streaming deals during major shopping events. The streamer has resurrected the exact same streaming deal from last Prime Day for 2026, only this time it's technically a better offer since Paramount+ raised its prices earlier this year. Typically $13.99 per month for a Premium subscription (that's the ad-free tier with Showtime), you'll get two months for just 99 cents a piece. That saves you $26 total.

The Paramount+ library is surprisingly robust. Premium subscribers can enjoy Paramount+ Originals like Landman and RuPaul Drag Race All Stars, Showtime series like Dexter Resurrection and Yellowjackets, CBS shows like Survivor and Big Brother live, UFC fights, and nostalgic shows from Nickelodeon and MTV. That's not even counting the massive movie lineup (including Paramount Pictures movies straight from the theater).

The discount is only valid through the end of Prime Day on June 26, so be sure to sign up before then. You can grab the deal directly through Paramount+ itself or as a subscription add-on via Prime Video or Roku.

If you're not committed to a music streamer, now's a good time to check out Amazon Music Unlimited without spending a cent. Through June 29, new subscribers can secure four free months. Typically $11.99 per month for Prime members, that's a total of $47.96 in savings. Amazon Music Unlimited unlocks a massive music catalog that you can listen to on-demand, ad-free, and in the highest quality possible. Beyond music itself, Unlimited subscriptions also include "the most ad-free podcasts" of any of the major music apps, as well as one free audiobook per month via Audible. Even if you do already subscribe to another music streaming service, it's worth it to take a pause from payments for four months and lock in this deal.

If you're just using your NAS to store files, then you're not using your NAS right. Network attached storage servers are often way more powerful than you might think they are. Here are seven things you should try running on your NAS this week.

I'm a pretty big Waze fan and have been using it for over 10 years. Eventually, it completely replaced Google Maps in my car when using Android Auto, and I doubt I'll ever switch again. Waze has a lot to offer for drivers, but one of the main reasons it keeps me coming back is that the hazard alerts actually reach me.
