Water flossers have become a pretty common part of everyday dental care, especially for people who don’t want to deal with traditional flossing. They use a steady stream of water to clean between teeth and along the gumline in a quick and easy manner. It’s a simple switch that makes daily dental care feel less like a chore.

If you're ready to invest, Amazon has got your back with a couple of deals on Waterpik models.

The Toyota Prius arrived in the United States in 2000 and spent the next 25 years becoming the textbook definition of a hybrid car. It was the first mass-produced hybrid most Americans ever saw, and its name became synonymous with fuel efficiency and environmental consciousness in a way no other has matched.

If you're wondering whether or not the Nothing Headphone (a) are worth buying, it's worth mentioning that we're very big fans. Mashable's Bethany Allard reviewed them last month and said they're "the best pair of headphones from Nothing, and one of the best pairs of mid-range headphones available to get, thanks to their solid all-around performance and standout battery life."

Allard notes that these headphones have "decent sound and ANC with plenty of ease built into the user experience," but where they really shine is their battery life. With ANC enabled, the store page says they last up to 75 hours. Allard confirms this in her review, adding that "the battery life alone may be the reason to pick these headphones up."

If you've been waiting for a good time to scoop up the Nothing Headphone (a), this is an excellent opportunity. Don't miss out on this Prime-exclusive deal at Amazon.

Android phones have become remarkably powerful over the past several years. We've now reached a point where many can comfortably continue using the same device for four, five, or even seven years without feeling held back.

The terminal isn't just for running commands and editing config files. There's a whole category of TUI (terminal user interface) apps out there that can replace the graphical tools you reach for every day—and a lot of them end up being faster and lighter in the process. If you've got some free time this weekend, here are three I'd start with. None of them take long to set up, and will probably replace a few unnecessarily bulky graphical apps you’ve got installed.

If you thought PopSockets were too bulky, a new model is here: the Low-Pro Grip. CNET's Bridget Carey talks to PopSocket inventor and founder David Barnett to get the story behind the new design and how the iconic phone grip evolved through the years.

As of June 19, the Kindle Paperwhite Bundle — which comes with a cover and power adapter alongside the 16GB e-reader — has hit a new low price of $147.97.

If you were to pick up each of these items separately, it would cost you $216.97, so this deal saves you $69 in total. This deal is exclusive to Prime members as an early Prime Day deal.

If you love to get lost in a good book, the 16GB Kindle Paperwhite will help you tackle your summer reading list with ease. The 7-inch Paperwhite is glare-free, waterproof, and boasts a battery life that can last up to 12 weeks on a single charge. That's not all, though.

Mashable's Samantha Mangino wrote in our roundup of the best Kindles, where it landed as the best overall pick, that "It turns pages without stuttering, never slowing down when you’re in the thick of the action." Alongside that, the "screen's front light is vibrant and has adjustable brightness, meaning it can adjust when transitioning from reading in the sun or shade."

Pair that with the cover and power adapter, and it's one unbeatable bundle. Don't miss out on the Kindle Paperwhite Bundle on sale for Prime members right now at Amazon.

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Gen) headphones are down to $379 at Amazon, with Prime Day just around the corner. That’s a $70 drop from the usual $449 list price on a pair of Bose’s newer over-ear noise-canceling headphones with spatial audio and up to 30 hours of battery life.

These headphones are a top pick in Mashable’s guide to the best noise-cancelling headphones, where they’re positioned as the best option for most people thanks to their comfort and easy all-day wear. The headphones are described as “the most comfortable headphones on the market” in Mashable’s review, with comfort remaining the standout feature across long listening sessions.

Bethany Allard, our lead shopping reporter, notes that “there was simply not a scenario where the fit didn't feel excellent,” whether worn for work, walking, or extended use, with the design largely unchanged from the previous generation.

On performance, our review calls the Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Gen) “a good choice for someone who wants all-day wear and has yet to buy into the QC Ultra line,” but also points out clear limits.

Sound quality is described as solid but not highly customizable, and the headphones are “not all that different from the previous generation,” making them more of a refinement than a major upgrade.

Today's Connections: Sports Edition will be easier if you have World Cup knowledge.

As we've shared in previous hints stories, this is a version of the popular New York Times word game that seeks to test the knowledge of sports fans.

Like the original Connections, 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 the latest Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on Mashable What is Connections: Sports Edition?

The NYT's latest daily word game has launched in association with The Athletic, the New York Times property that provides the publication's sports coverage. The sports 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 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 before 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.

TL;DR: Amazon has slashed the Samsung 32-inch Odyssey G5 (G50F) QHD gaming monitor to $189.99, down from its $329.99 list price.

In a world where buying the components for a gaming PC is an increasingly pricey task, Amazon is still delivering major monitor deals when you know where to look. In a surprising early Prime Day deal, you can now get a Samsung monitor at its record-low price.

As of June 19, the Samsung 32-inch Odyssey G5 (G50F) QHD gaming monitor is on sale at Amazon for only $189.99, with $140 knocked off its $329.99 list price. With 42% bumped off, that brings this premium Samsung display down to its lowest price ever — confirmed with price tracker camelcamelcamel. 

For less than $200, the Odyssey G5 gives you a 32-inch QHD 2560 x 1440 screen, which is a proper step up from regular Full HD without making the jump to a much more expensive 4K panel. That should make games look sharper and fuller across the larger display, whether you’re working through massive RPGs like Kingdom Come: Deliverance II or getting ready for upcoming cinematic PS5 games like Marvel’s Wolverine.

Its fast IPS panel has a 180Hz refresh rate and 1ms GtG response time, helping fast-paced games look smoother and feel more responsive when things start moving quickly. That should be especially handy in multiplayer titles like Fortnite, Overwatch, Rocket League, and Marvel Rivals. 

Samsung has also packed in some useful display extras, including HDR10 for brighter highlights and deeper-looking shadows, plus a wide 178-degree viewing angle to help the picture hold up from different positions. AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-Sync compatibility are included as well, helping cut down on screen tearing and choppy visuals while you play. 

If you’re open to making the jump to OLED monitors, the 34-inch ASUS ROG Strix gaming monitor is also on sale. Among early Prime Day deals, the even bigger Samsung 49-inch Odyssey G9 monitor has hit its lowest-ever price.

The fervor over Heated Rivalry may be over (until Season 2, at least), and so is the discourse about why women love it so much. But, for Pride Month, Pornhub might be reviving it, just a little.

It's no secret that some women think sex scenes between two men are hot, and now Pornhub shares in its Pride Insights 2026 blog that women make up almost exactly half (49.7 percent) of the viewership of gay porn on the site, compared to 50.3 percent of men.

SEE ALSO: I'm tired of bi women being the internet's Pride punching bag

The female proportion of gay porn viewership has grown in recent years, from 43 percent in 2024 to 47 percent in 2025, to nearly 50 percent now. Could it be because of "the cottage"? Maybe; Pornhub didn't offer up any explanation.

In 2024, Pornhub revealed that women account for 38 percent of worldwide viewership, proving that it's not just men who watch porn.

Now, Pornhub has also broken down gay porn viewership by age group, with people 65 and older only taking up nine percent of total viewers — but they're 26.3 percent more likely to engage with gay porn compared to other age groups.

18 to 24 year olds, meanwhile, make up the majority of gay porn viewership at 31 percent. Young adults are also the biggest fans of cartoon gay porn, as it's 267 percent more popular with them compared to other age groups.

Featured Video For You My awkward first date with an AI companion

Meanwhile, vintage porn and twink porn are 29 percent and 24 percent more popular with the 65 and older crowd, respectively.

Twink is universally popular on Pornhub, as it's the second most-searched gay term during Pride Month. The first? "Femboy" (a feminine man), which was also one of the most-searched terms on Pornhub's straight site in 2025.

Lesbian content is pretty popular on the tube site, too, so much so that last month, it launched a WLW-dedicated site called Pornhub Sapphic.

TL;DR: Amazon has dropped the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Ascended Heroes Premium Poster Collection to $171.99, taking $27.96 off its usual $199.95 list price. That brings the 10-pack box down to about $17.20 per booster before factoring in its promo card, poster, and Pokémon TCG Live code card.

Ascended Heroes is still one of the priciest expansions in the modern Pokémon TCG, but Amazon has now made one of its biggest collection boxes a little easier to buy before Prime Day. 

As of June 19, the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Ascended Heroes Premium Poster Collection is down to $171.99 at Amazon. That is down from its $199.95 list price, giving Pokémon collectors $27.96 off the sealed box while the discount lasts. 

This Premium Poster Collection comes with 10 Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Ascended Heroes booster packs, one full-art foil promo card (random between the Mega Lucario and Mega Gardevoir version), one double-sided poster, and one code card for Pokémon TCG Live. 

With 10 packs of trading cards included, Amazon’s new $171.99 price works out to roughly $17.20 per Ascended Heroes booster before tax, with the included extras giving the box more value than buying loose packs.

There are lower prices elsewhere, though with a few caveats. TCGplayer currently has the Mega Gardevoir Premium Poster Collection from $148 plus shipping, while the Mega Lucario version is specifically listed from $164.95 plus shipping. Walmart will save you the most money of all, sitting at $164.99 for randomly selected boxes. 

Among other Pokémon deals going right now, you can grab the Pokémon TCG’s Chaos Rising Elite Trainer Box for below $90. We also found plenty of other early Prime Day Pokémon deals at Amazon, including trading cards, games, figures, and exciting gifts.

TL;DR: The Pokémon TCG Chaos Rising Display Box, containing 36 booster packs, is on sale for $263.99 at Amazon. That takes around $16 off the sealed three-dozen-pack box and brings each Chaos Rising booster to about $7.33 before tax.

As the Pokémon TCG community starts getting ready for the launch of Pitch Black, the Mega Evolution expansion is back on sale ahead of Prime Day — giving you one of the lowest cost-per-pack rates possible. 

As of June 19, the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Chaos Rising Booster Display Box is listed on Amazon for $263.99 through Collectors Expedition, with free delivery currently set for June 25-26. That $16 saving takes the 36-pack display box back below the $265 mark. 

At the $263.99 price, you're paying roughly $7.33 per Chaos Rising booster pack before tax. That's still a much better per-pack rate than buying sleeved Chaos Rising Booster Packs separately on Amazon, which are listed at $11.89 right now.

Walmart is the cheapest of all — with the same Booster Box listed for $229.95 with free shipping, sold by Realgoodeal and fulfilled by Walmart. That price goes even lower than the Chaos Rising Display Box’s market price of $233.74 set by TCGplayer. 

Speaking of TCGplayer, listings on the dedicated trading card marketplace are selling for $234.95.  

Each Chaos Rising Booster Display Box contains 36 booster packs from the Mega Evolution Chaos Rising expansion. The set has more than 120 cards to collect, including more Mega Evolution Pokémon ex, over 25 Trainer cards, and more than 35 Pokémon and Trainer cards with special illustrations. 

Your 36 packs will give you the chance to pull rare and valuable chase cards, like Mega Greninja ex, Mega Floette ex, Mega Pyroar ex, and Mega Dragalge ex — which are all available to buy individually on TCGplayer.

We found you can still buy the Pokémon TCG Chaos Rising Elite Trainer Box for under $90. There are also early Prime Day Pokémon deals at Amazon, including trading cards, games, figures, and exciting gifts.

It looks like BMW has finally found the winning EV formula.

In 2025, the company launched the BMW iX3, a compact electric SUV based on BMW's new "Neue Klasse" philosophy, with a new infotainment system and a massive battery.

The auto company followed up with the sedan variant called the i3. Once again, BMW did its best to address the biggest pain point of owning an EV, and equipped the i3 with a massive battery giving it record-breaking range.

The strategy appears to have worked. The BMW i3 was originally slated to become available for preorder in September, but BMW decided to capitalize on the interest around the car and opened the preorders in Europe on Thursday, June 18.

The car that's being offered is called the BMW i3 First Edition, and it starts at €75,340 ($86,372) in Germany (the price varies slightly by market). For the money, you basically get the M Sport version of the BMW i3 50 xDrive, with a 108.7kWh battery with up to 912 kilometres (566 miles) of WLTP range, and super-fast 400kW charging that can get you 250 miles of range in 10 minutes. The car's two electric motors have a combined output of 469hp, and can take the car from 0 to 100 kph in 4.7 seconds.

The interior is similar to the iX3's, with a 17.9 central infotainment display, a super-wide, 43'' Panoramic Vision display, and BMW's 3D Head-Up Display. The First Edition also gets the M Sport exterior and interior design elements, including BMW's Iconic Glow, and the AC charging rate has been increased from 11 kW to 22 kW.

Some options are also available, and these include rear seat heating, panoramic glass sunroof, and an electronic tow bar.

First deliveries are expected this fall. There's no word on when BMW plans to open up pre-orders in the U.S.

For those willing to wait, a cheaper, base model will be available in the fall for €65,900 ($75,550), with the same battery and similar range, as well as dual motors, but fewer amenities.

As for why BMW is hurrying up with i3 preorders, the answer likely likes in the stellar sales of the BMW iX3. The car is outselling BMW's own X3 in Europe, with more than 50,000 orders being placed as of April this year.

The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit.

Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

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.
