When you're new to food delivery apps, you're showered with all kinds of deals and discounts. But once you become a regular user, deals are few and far between. If you want to lock in some guaranteed savings for yourself, here's a hack for you: grab a gift card while it's on sale.

As of Aug. 26, you can pick up DoorDash and Instacart gift cards for up to 15% off at Best Buy. You can get a $100 DoorDash gift card for only $85, saving you $15, or a $100 Instacart gift card for $90, saving you $10. Other gift card values between $15 and $200 are discounted as well, saving you up to $30.

All of the pricing tiers for both DoorDash and Instacart gift cards are available as digital purchases, which are quicker and easier if you plan on using them for yourself. They just require an email address, and will be sent to your inbox directly after your purchase. You can transfer the digital gift card to someone else if you wish as well, just as you can with a physical gift card.

Once you add in taxes, fees, and tips, food delivery prices can get outrageously expensive. Whether you want discounted groceries via Instacart or cheaper dinner tonight via DoorDash, grabbing a gift card on sale guarantees you get more for less. Bon appétit.

Most hobbies come with some niche expenses, but audio equipment—and sound fidelity—are especially bad about upcharging for "audiophile" grade gear that probably won't improve your listening experience at all. Here's a quick list of some of the worst offenders, and what you should buy instead.

Welcome to pumpkin spice latte season (and Skelly season). Regardless of whether you love pumpkin spice or wish it would disappear forever, the Starbucks fall menu landed in stores this morning, and of course that includes the PSL. Like everything these days, the latte doesn't come cheap. Not that the coffee chain ever was cheap, but a daily PSL (or any other flavor) can add up at a shocking speed.

We have tons of at-home coffee maker options these days and some are truly amazing. There's typically an initial cost investment, but it evens out to be less expensive than the cafe over time. And making coffee in your own kitchen means you don't need to change into public-appropriate clothing or dodge that acquaintance from high school you'd rather not encounter.

De'Longhi makes some of the most user-friendly and advanced espresso machines, and that includes the brand's lineup of Nespresso Vertuo machines. Just in time for PSL season (and the upcoming fall back clock reset) the brand has discounted espresso machines for Labor Day, and the sale is already live. Here are some great options to shop this week.

Plus, the Rivelia comes with two removeable bean hoppers, so you can switch from your morning medium roast to your late afternoon decaf roast.

The one-touch milk system takes mere moments to serve up foamy milk or milk alternatives directly into your perfect cup of coffee each morning. Plus, the 16-ounce milk tank is detachable and can safely head into the dishwasher.

Farmers Insurance has confirmed it was hit by a data breach that exposed the personal information of more than 1 million policyholders after a third-party cyberattack. The incident, linked by some outlets to the recent string of Salesforce-related hacks, involved a vishing scam that gave attackers unauthorized access to sensitive records.

The company disclosed that it first learned of the breach on May 30, when a third-party vendor flagged suspicious activity in its systems. Farmers brought in outside data-security experts to investigate, and on Aug. 22, began sending notices to impacted customers.

According to Farmers, the compromised data includes names, addresses, dates of birth, driver’s license numbers, and in some cases, the last four digits of Social Security numbers. Reports indicate that around 1,111,386 people were affected across 10 states: California, Washington D.C., Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, and Rhode Island.

In a statement to Mashable, a spokesperson for Farmers' Insurance had this to say:

At Farmers, protecting our customers’ information is our top priority. We recently discovered that an unauthorized third party briefly accessed a vendor’s system that contained some Farmers’ customer information. The incident involved only limited information from certain customers. 

An investigation — conducted with both internal and external security experts — found no evidence that the exposed data has been misused, nor any indication that Farmers’ own systems were compromised. We are contacting affected individuals directly and are providing support resources, including complimentary credit monitoring. 

Farmers Insurance is part of the Zurich Insurance Group and reported $2.2 billion in profits last year. Zurich is one of the largest insurers in the world and reported $7.8 billion in operating profit in 2024 alone. According to Bleeping Computer, the stolen data was part of the widespread Salesforce data theft campaign that has rippled through multiple organizations this year, exposing sensitive information across industries.

Archivists and retro PC enthusiasts can now upgrade to 86Box v5.0. The IBM PC emulator now features an integrated machine manager and improved shader support—two excellent quality-of-life features that greatly improve its user experience.

If Sony's new Inzone headset isn't cutesy enough for you, Razer has just the thing. Today, the flashy gaming brand unveiled the Kraken Kitty V3 Pro, a new version of its iconic (and Beyoncé-approved) cat-ear headset.

The updated earphones bring several subtle design and connectivity changes, new features designed with streamers in mind, and a $20 cheaper price tag.

The Kraken Kitty V3 Pro retails for $179.99 in Black, White, and Quartz (pink), and it's available now at Amazon, Best Buy, and Razer's website. It works with PC, Mac, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices; a Razer rep confirmed that it's not licensed for Xbox consoles. Razer has also launched a more affordable wired variant, the Kraken Kitty V3 X, which is priced at $59.99.

Mashable has been testing the new Kraken Kitty V3 Pro headset, and we'll have more to share soon.

This is the third iteration of the streamer-favorite Kraken Kitty Pro, which Razer debuted in 2019 and upgraded in 2022 with swappable ear shapes. This time around, Razer has committed to pointy cat ears and slimmed the shape of the cups by a few millimeters for a more polished look. It's also put the cups on a swivel for a more comfortable fit and a better seal. They don't have noise cancellation, but they should fit flush enough against your head to block a lot of surrounding noise.

The Kraken Kitty V3 Pro's cups are now made with memory foam and a protein "leatherette" that's easier to wipe down than the previous version's half-fabric, half-leatherette material.

The sides of the cups and the ears themselves have nine-zone Chroma RGB lighting that can produce pulsing and swirling effects, a feature adopted from Razer's standard (non-Kitty) Kraken line. The lighting effects are reactive, meaning they can sync with in-game action — if you take damage, for example, the ears will flash red. (This currently works with over 300 titles.)

The user can also customize the headset's cups to flash certain colors and patterns in accordance with Twitch chat alerts; a new sub might mean a ripple of rainbow.

The Kraken Kitty V3 Pro has 40mm drivers inside, a slight downgrade from the $199.99 Kraken Kitty V2 Pro's 50mm drivers. However, it brings added support for advanced THX Spatial Audio (instead of simulated surround sound) for a more immersive experience.

The mic on the Kraken Kitty V3 Pro is now retractable, and it fits completely flush inside the left ear cup when it's not in use.

The Kraken Kitty V2 Pro was limited to wired play, but its successor now supports two wireless modes: Bluetooth and Razer HyperSpeed, some proprietary tech that's said to be faster. (It works with a USB-C dongle.) You can press a button on its right ear cup to toggle between both wireless modes.

Credit: Razer

Razer has the Kraken Kitty V3 Pro rated at up to 70 hours of battery life sans Chroma effects, and up to 20 hours per charge with all of its lighting on. It comes with a detachable USB-A to USB-C cable so you can still play it in wired mode, and the headset will also charge at the same time.

The Kraken Kitty family grows

Razer is further expanding the Kraken Kitty lineup with the release of the new Kraken Kitty V3 X, which has a lighter wired design with 40mm drivers and surround sound. It doesn't come with the V3 Pro's swiveling cups, Chroma RGB lighting, or retractable mic, but at $59.99, it's a significantly cheaper entry point.

Razer will continue to sell the 2023 Kraken Kitty V2 BT, a $99.99 wireless cat-ear headset with Chroma RGB, as a mid-range option.

Folks, we have a date with the iPhone 17.

Apple has officially sent out invites to the media for the iPhone 17 launch, which will take place at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, on Tuesday, September 9, 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET).

Apple is setting a high bar for itself — this year's tagline for the event is "Awe dropping."

Yay, new iPhones! Credit: Apple

Those who cannot attend in person will be able to watch the livestream over on Apple's website and YouTube channel.

As for what we expect to see this year, Apple will probably launch, for the first time, a trio of new iPhones: The iPhone 17, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, and the ultra-thin iPhone Air.

We also expect to see new Apple Watch devices, and (possibly) new AirPods, as well as a new breed of non-leather accessories. In total, we expect at least 8 new Apple products to be announced on Sept. 9, so stay tuned for our coverage.

Will Arnett defined Hollywood ennui for years as a crumudgeonly horse/TV has-been of the hit Netflix animated series BoJack Horseman. Now, the Arrested Development star is becoming the face of New York City anxiety as a stand-up comedian, who is making sense of his impending divorce one joke at a time in Is This Thing On?

Bradley Cooper directs a script penned by himself, Arnett, and Mark Chappell. Arnett headlines this seeming dramedy as Alex, a middle-aged man who turns to stand-up while his wife Tess (Laura Dern) urges him to understand how their relationship went awry, so they can find a way to co-parent and move forward.

SEE ALSO: 2025 fall movie preview: Every upcoming film you ought to know about

From the trailer, we get a sense of Alex's desperation and how a desire to understand his circumstances — and perhaps self-flagellate — pitches him into New York's merciless comedy scene. Tough times when even your parents aren't on board with your schtick.

Cooper not only co-writes and helms Is This Thing On?, but is also set to appear in the film, alongside Andra Day, Amy Sedaris, Sean Hayes, Christine Ebersole, Ciarán Hinds, and Scott Icenogle.

Following his remake of A Star is Born and his self-starring biopic of Leonard Bernstein Maestro, Is This Thing On? is Cooper's latest directorial effort focusing on the intersection of act and personal sacrifice. Will it be as critically heralded as his previous efforts? We'll find out this fall.

Is This Thing On? will make its world premiere at the New York Film Festival on its closing night, Oct. 10. Searchlight Pictures will release the film in select theaters on Dec.19. Look for Mashable's coverage out of NYFF this fall.

SAVE $100: As of Aug. 26, the Sonos Arc Ultra is on sale for $899 at Amazon and Best Buy. That's 10% off its $999 MSRP and matches its lowest price on record.

Whether you're preparing for football season or fall movies, you may want to invest in a soundbar to make the most of your viewing experience. After all, what good is that incredible TV display without sound that matches? If you're looking for the best of the best and don't mind splurging on great sound, we can't recommend the Sonos Arc Ultra enough — especially since it's on sale for its best price ever.

As of Aug. 26, the Sonos Arc Ultra is on sale for $899 at Amazon, and Best Buy. That's $100 off its sticker price and matches its lowest price on record, which it has only reached a couple of times before.

Is $899 still a lot for a soundbar? Well, yes. But even at full price, Mashable's Tech Editor Tim Beck Werth says the Sonos Arc Ultra justifies its price of admission. "While a single soundbar can't compete with the booming speakers you'll hear in a movie theater," he writes, "This speaker gave me the closest match to that experience I've ever had in my living room."

Thanks to Sonos Sound Motion and Dolby Atmos, the Arc ultra provides impressive surround sound. It can also double as a smart speaker, so you can listen to music or use voice controls to check the weather or set timers, even when the TV is off. It's an impressive speaker all around; it even looks as good as it sounds.

If you really want to upgrade your TV's sound, it's hard to beat the Sonos Arc Ultra as a standalone soundbar. At $100 off, we think it's worth the splurge.

SAVE $125: Through Sept. 1, the Mill food recycling bin is $125 off during Mill's Labor Day sale — get it for $874 instead of its usual $999.

As a shopping reporter, it's a rare W when your favorite product that you've ever tested goes on sale. It's the cherry on top that's usually needed to convince someone to buy it and see if it'll change their life, too.

The most game-changing item in my arsenal is the Mill kitchen bin, which is currently $125 off during Mill's Labor Day sale (I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen Mill on sale before this). With the discount, you can bring the Mill food recycler home for $874 instead of its usual $999.

The Mill kitchen bin is slightly different from other at-home composters. Instead of creating actual decomposed organic material (with science that involves worms), Mill is simply dehydrating your food scraps, milling them down into an odorless material that resembles soil. When I say odorless, I mean it — Mill literally doesn't smell, and is such a glorious alternative to letting old food stink up the actual trash can. Mill holds all of your daily plate scraps and old fridge leftovers, turning it to food grounds silently overnight. Unlike traditional compost, you can put meat, most dairy, and even small amounts of desserts into Mill.

However, the most unique thing about Mill is that it offers to deal with your food grounds for you. If you don't have a garden, you don't really have much to do with the "compost" that countertop composters like Lomi and Reencle produce. Mill solves that glaring issue through a mail-back program: With a subscription, you'll get free pre-labeled boxes in which you'll pack up your finished food grounds to ship back to Mill. Then, Mill uses the grounds as a base for — wait for it — chicken feed. I've been using my Mill bin for about two years, and was recently notified that my Mill usage has diverted 500 pounds of food waste from a landfill, instead feeding farm chickens that were going to need to eat, anyway.

So far, the only potential source of hesitation I've really been able to pinpoint with Mill is how much it costs. It gets especially pricey when you factor in the mail-back pickup plan, which adds another $194 annually. But think about it this way: Mill's Labor Day discount just about covers an entire year of the pickup subscription.

Ruggable is the home of machine-washable rugs that you can take up off the floor and toss into the washer. They're stain-resistant with hundreds of designs to choose from, and they're kid and pet friendly. They're also nonslip and durable so they can stand up to heavy use with an entire household putting them to the test.

Ruggable offers a wide variety of options from area rugs to runners and doormats and just about everything in between. Mashable's RJ Andersen took the washable rugs for a spin and loved the "plush and well-designed" rug, noting that "a few months later" it remains soft and easy to clean and maintain, especially when it comes to pet hair.

If you have a home where you need a rug that can not only be washed in the washer but stand up to heavy traffic, pet dander, and the damage kids can do, Ruggable is a good option. And saving 25% on the rug of your choice is a great deal, so outfit your home for fall and save some moola.

If the Burning Man storm and the wild Phoenix haboob are any indication of what fall weather will like, we could be in for some interesting experiences. If you're not excited about another season of storms that lead to power outages, now is the time to grab a portable power station so you're ready for storm season. If you're in the market, check out today's stellar deal at Amazon.

As of Aug. 26, the Anker Solix F3000 portable power station with 400W solar panel is on sale for $1,999.99 at Amazon, marked down from the normal bundle price of $3,498. That works out to a major savings of $1,498.01, or a 43% discount. Today's sale price is the lowest we've ever seen Amazon offer for this bundle.

For starters, this deal comes with the Anker Solix F3000 portable power station, which offers 3,072Wh of power. That's three times as much as the Mashable Choice Anker Solix C1000 portable power station. While that model is great for a weekend of camping, the Solix F3000 is ideal for home backup during power outages.

SEE ALSO: Pre-order the new Anker Solix C1000 v2 and save $370

With that extra power comes significant weight — 91.5 pounds to be exact — so Anker went ahead and eased our sore backs by equipping the F3000 with durable wheels and a retractable handle, so you can easily roll the power station around your home.

Anker says the F3000 can power a 190W refrigerator for up to 42 hours during a power outage or keep your most essential appliances going for up to 10 hours. You'll be able to do so with the four standard AC ports, two USB-A, two USB-C, and 30 amp plug options.

Today's bundle deal also includes a 400W solar panel, which can be a lifesaver when it comes to recharging the Solix F3000 portable power station. The solar panel's legs can keep it harnessing the sun's power at four different angles, and it's made with durable materials that are scratch-resistant. The panel is also waterproof, so you won't need to worry if the weather suddenly gets wet.

Before the storm knocks out power and your refrigerator turns into a warm box, get prepared with the Anker Solix F3000 portable power station with 400W solar panel. It's on sale at Amazon for the lowest price we've ever spotted, and the timing couldn't be more perfect as we head into autumn storms.

Spotify has been pretty good about adding features that make sense for a music service, but the latest is pushing the boundaries a bit.

On top of being a widely heralded actor, Paul Mescal has become an internet boyfriend through an array of hunky, heartbreaking performances in everything from Aftersun and Normal People to All of Us Strangers and Gladiator II. The Irish actor is not letting up on us. This winter, he appears in the romantic drama The History of Sound opposite Challengers' Josh O'Connor, and then comes Hamnet, where Mescal offers us a take on William Shakespeare that is both smoldering and deeply sad. So have tissues at the ready.

Hamnet stars Mescal as the legendary playwright. But far from focusing on Shakepeare's heady times as the toast of the Globe theatre, London, and the queen herself, this drama focuses on his family, and in particular, the personal tragedy that inspired him to write Hamlet: the death of his young son, Hamnet.

Two-time Academy Award-winner Chloé Zhao directs this much-anticipated adaptation of Maggie O'Farrell's beloved historical novel of the same name. Beyond exploring Shakespeare's perspective of this tragic time, the trailer suggests O'Farrell and Zhao, who co-wrote the adapted screenplay together, will also delve into what the death of her only son was like for his wife, Anne "Agnes" Hathaway, played here by acclaimed actress Jessie Buckley, who has awed critics with her jaw-dropping turns in Men, The Lost Daughter, and Wild Rose.

Sure to be a tearjerker packed with powerful performances from a pair of Oscar nominees, Hamnet is one to watch this fall — starting with its premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival. Look for Mashable's coverage out of the fest, including our review of Hamnet.

Hamnet opens in theaters in limited release on Nov. 27 and nationwide in the US on Dec. 12.

Framework, the modular computer company behind the best repairable laptops, is rounding out a busy year with one of its biggest announcements yet: A new Framework Laptop 16 with Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 graphics is coming this fall.

Preorders are now live on Framework's website, with prices starting at $1,499 in pre-built and DIY Edition configurations. The first shipments are slated to go out in November.

The original Framework Laptop 16 now starts at $1,299 as a cheaper entry-level option (previously $1,399). Its Ryzen 9 configurations will be phased out, but the Ryzen 7 version will stay in production.

Framework's fandom has been clamoring for an Nvidia-powered GPU module ever since the company first released its 16-inch desktop replacement in 2023 with the "holy grail" of modular, upgradeable graphics. (The original version has AMD Radeon graphics.)

In a blog post, Framework CEO Nirav Patel said the company spent the last two years working on the new module in partnership with Nvidia, AMD, and Compal, its Taiwanese manufacturing partner, calling it "a huge leap in performance and capability."

Crucially, the new graphics module will be backwards compatible with the OG Framework Laptop 16. Patel added: "That means any current owner can pick up the new module and get the latest generation of graphics!" No need to buy an entirely new machine — that's Framework's whole shtick.

The RTX 5070 module, which comes with 8GB of VRAM, is said to offer a 30 to 40 percent increase in gaming framerates compared to the original Radeon RX 7700S graphics module. It will also enable display output and power input over the rear USB-C port and have a quieter new thermal system. Framework will continue to sell the Radeon module with the same updated thermals.

On the CPU side, the updated Framework Laptop 16 will be powered by AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series processors in eight-core Ryzen 7 and 12-core Ryzen 9 options. Users can swap the device's graphics module for an expansion bay shell to utilize their integrated graphics for less intensive tasks.

Here are the rest of the upgrades coming to the Framework Laptop 16 this fall:

• An updated mainboard design (see below)

• Configurable with up to 96GB of RAM and up to 10TB of storage (previously 8TB)

• A new 240W USB-C adapter (previously 180W)

• Added G-Sync support for its 165Hz, 2560 x 1600 display panel

• An updated webcam module

• A more rigid aluminum top cover

• An updated keyboard with new artwork and adjusted firmware behavior

The new mainboard design supports four simultaneous display outputs over its back four expansion card slots (previously three). And with the updated keyboard, the laptop will no longer wake up if its keys are triggered while the lid is closed.

Like its Nvidia graphics module, most of the Framework Laptop 16's new features and components are compatible with the original version. The sole exception is the Gen 1 display panel, which won't get G-Sync support.

Earlier this year, Framework refreshed the smaller, thinner Framework Laptop 13 with Ryzen AI 300 Series CPUs and launched two all-new products: the Framework Laptop 12, its first touchscreen convertible, and the pint-sized Framework Desktop. (Both are up for preorder.) The company notched a record-high month for manufacturing volume in July after briefly pausing shipments and adjusting prices in April amid fluctuating U.S. tariffs.

Already a bit on the costly side, Sonos recently announced that it will raise prices this year due to President Trump's tariff policies. In other words, when you find a Sonos speaker on sale, add it to your cart ASAP.

If you have the Sonos Era 300 speaker on your wishlist, now's the time to get it. As of Aug. 26, it's on sale for just $359 (reg. $449) across multiple retailers: Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and Sonos itself. That's 20% in savings and matches its best-ever price from Black Friday last year.

From high-end soundbars to Bluetooth speakers, there's no denying Sonos makes excellent audio gear. The Era 300 is no exception. Mashable's Stan Schroeder spent some time with it and called it "the king of sub-$500 smart speakers." It's a bit odd looking, but it's packed with impressive audio technology, including six amps, four tweeters, and two woofers. It's the first Sonos speaker to support spatial audio, features Sonos Voice Control and Alexa, offers customizable sound in the Sonos app, and can connect seamlessly with other Sonos products. Schroeder adds, "It singlehandedly produces sound that can often match larger speakers, perhaps even entire hi-fi systems."

It requires an adapter to connect a 3.5mm jack and it's kind of expensive on a regular day, but we're willing to overlook those things for its booming sound. Plus, at $90 off, it's an even better value — especially since a tariff-related price hike is on its way.
