I've said it once, and I'll say it again: Starz is an underrated streaming service. If you've exhausted the streaming catalog on Netflix and Hulu and need to diversify your movie and TV lineup this season, it's a great time to give it a shot. Today only, the Starz add-on for Prime Video is just $2.99 per month.

Through June 4 only, Prime members and Prime Video subscribers can add the Starz streaming app to their library for $2.99 per month for two months. A quiet price hike will go into effect for the streaming service on June 8, bumping its monthly cost from $10.99 to $11.99. So you'll be saving $9 per month, or a total of $18, by grabbing this deal.

Starz is home to Lionsgate theatrical releases, so you'll be able to watch recent hits like The Housemaid, Now You See Me: Now You Don't, and Greenland 2: Migration. Not to mention, it has its own original series that are pretty epic, including a TV adaptation of Lisa Taddeo's book Three Women, a comedy about a female serial killer called Sweetpea, and the historical fantasy show Outlander, which just wrapped its final season.

Switch up your streaming lineup for the summer and save some money by snagging a two-month subscription to Starz for a grand total of $5.98. That's pretty hard to beat in this economy.

It's time for another round of fun homelab projects to do this weekend, and it all starts with server monitoring! Then, once you have your centralized server monitoring set up, I'll show you how to optimize your Docker experience. Here are three fun homelab projects to tackle this weekend.

Apple will reportedly lean on Nvidia to fuel the next generation of Siri.

The Information reported that Apple will "tap into Google’s fleet of Nvidia’s Blackwell B200 data center chips" to power requests from the new AI-enhanced Siri, which will allegedly go online with the launch of iOS 27 later this year. It's already been established that the new Siri will be based on Google's Gemini AI model, so Apple utilizing a Google fleet of Nvidia data center chips makes sense.

In layman's terms, the main thing to know about this is that Nvidia's Blackwell architecture allows for large-scale AI usage with high degrees of memory bandwidth and other important things you need to make a popular chatbot work. These chips also have the ability to encrypt data that comes through them, which would help maintain Apple's high privacy standards as it attempts to catch up to the rest of the tech industry with AI features on its devices.

The new Siri hasn't officially been shown off yet, but it's widely expected that it will exist in the form of a chatbot with its own dedicated app once iOS 27 launches. It will be able to remember personal context for the user as well as read anything that's on screen, giving it capabilities far beyond what Siri has been able to do previously.

We should find out come Monday, when Apple hosts its annual developer conference, WWDC 2026.

Gemini’s debut on Android Auto has been a bit bumpy, to say the least. There are plenty of legitimate issues that Google needs to iron out still, but I’ve made an effort to give it a fair try. However, my main complaint isn’t a bug—it’s a feature that’s completely missing.

The Benchy has become the unofficial mascot of the 3D printing world. What started as a model of a toy boat designed to benchmark print quality and speed has evolved into a rite of passage for new printer owners.

Target's anti-Prime Day sale, called Target Circle Deal Days for 2026, is just a few weeks away. But if you're running low on personal care items — think body wash, toothpaste, deodorant, etc. — and can't wait until June 23 to stock up, Target's running a promo to help you out.

Ahead of its Deal Days event, you can get a free $5 Target gift card by grabbing four personal care items you were probably going to buy anyway. Select personal care items in the promo include shampoo and conditioner, body wash, deodorant, toothpaste, electric toothbrushes, razor blades, mouthwash, teeth whitening supplies, bar soap, and more from popular brands like Native, Olay, Dove, OGX, Megababe, Goodfellow, Carpe, Dr. Squatch, and Colgate. There's no price limit or constraint for the deal, and you can mix and match however you see fit. Just grab four products, and you'll receive a free $5 gift card.

The offer expires at 2:59 a.m. ET on June 7, so be sure to do your shopping before Sunday morning if you want a free gift card. You can shop in stores or online, but I recommend referring to the online listings to ensure the four products you choose are included in the promo.

Once you complete your purchase (and qualifying items ship), your gift card will automatically be applied to your Target account. Then you'll have a free $5 to spend on anything you want during Target Circle Deal Days at the end of the month.

Psst: if you want to shop all the best deals during the Deal Days event, you'll want to sign up for Target Circle (it's free) starting on June 14 to save even more.

Building a functional homelab often starts with a lot of excitement, but it quickly turns into a balancing act of managing hardware and fighting network clutter. You buy a couple of machines, get a VPS, start hosting services, and suddenly find yourself buried in individual browser extensions. What you should do is consider adding the below to get your homelab to do what you want.

It's getting toasty out there, and it's not even summer yet, according to the calendar. If you're looking for ways to stay cool this summer, a window A/C unit could do the trick. But if you're in the market for a refreshingly cool treat, there's a special deal in store at Ninja.

Use code SLUSH at checkout to get the Ninja Slushi on sale for $233.99, marked down from the standard price of $349.99. That works out to a 33% discount for a savings of $116. If you prefer to shop at Amazon, it's on sale for $239.99.

If you have summer hydration goals but don't feel like downing water bottle after water bottle, consider the options the Ninja Slushi brings to the table. With it, you can kick back with a slushy version of nearly any beverage.

Mashable Senior Shopping Reporter Leah Stodart reviewed the Ninja Slushi and found it to be an ideal way to enjoy a frozen treat. Instead of running to the local convenience store or ordering a spendy frosé during dinner out, whip up your own favorites at home.

"The Slushi achieves that chef's kiss chilled consistency via Ninja's RapidChill Technology, which involves an auger spinning around a cooling cylinder," explained Stodart in the review. "This approach can take room temperature ingredients from liquid to, well, slushy, in under an hour."

Stodart tested out the Slushi by Slushi-ing White Claws plus simple syrup, Pepsi, a blueberry vanilla protein milkshake, and electrolyte drink powder. "Past this week of testing, I could totally see the Slushi getting weekly use in my household," she wrote.

If you're looking for a way to jazz up summer beverages, the Ninja Slushi is ready to bring on the fun treats. Remember to use code SLUSH at checkout to score your new favorite kitchen appliance for $233.99.

As a beginner, I used to feel like I was fighting with the command-line interface. It did eventually click for me, but I wish it happened sooner. This is a list of command-line actions and commands that I wish I had learned on day one.

Are you ready to tackle more Raspberry Pi projects this weekend? Well, you're in luck, because I have three more fun projects to try out, including building an offline version of Wikipedia, setting up Network UPS Tools, and building a network troubleshooting toolkit.

Whether you're buying your first cordless power tool or looking to upgrade your collection, a big decision is whether to choose a brushed or brushless motor. Every major tool brand offers newer brushless tools, such as Ryobi's HP line and Milwaukee FUEL Brushless. So, what's the difference, and are they worth the higher price tag?

I’ll admit it, I’m a bit of an AI-sceptic. I see how AI-powered search can perform wonders with natural-language queries, but when it comes to editing my code, I still like to have control.

If you've been meaning to learn Linux but never quite made it stick, it's probably not a motivation problem. The desktop is usually not the best place to start learning Linux because you already have a working desktop in your Mac or Windows PC. A NAS, on the other hand, is exactly the kind of project where Linux earns its place, and where you'll actually end up learning something that stays with you.

Our smartphones have more storage than ever, but running out of space is still a common problem while using the powerful cameras for photos and video, large modern apps, and everything else. If you're low on storage, here's how I just freed up nearly 20GB of space on my Samsung Galaxy by taking advantage of one hidden setting.

Excel's default charts often make data harder to read, with distracting gridlines, awkward spacing, and attention-grabbing colors. That's why I have a quick cleanup routine to transform basic charts into more professional-looking visuals in minutes.

WiiM has launched its first-ever soundbar called the WiiM Bar after releasing the Sound Lite smart speaker last December. And this time, the brand has a different vision—it is designed to function as a standalone streaming speaker and work with compatible WiiM gear instead of just being a soundbar for a movie night.

Genesis launched its brand in the United States in 2016 with a straightforward promise: build vehicles that could compete with the European and Japanese luxury brands without the price tag. Nearly a decade later, Genesis has grown into one of the most decorated brands in the segment, earning consistent praise from owners, journalists, and other automotive industry organizations alike.

Motorola released a new Razr Ultra, and it's a lot like last year's model, which earned a CNET Editors' Choice award. But do minimal upgrades, and a $200 price hike make the 2026 Razr Ultra a worthy buy? We tested it to find out.

At first glance, Hulu's June lineup looks extremely promising. The streaming service has added several movies this month that are celebrating key milestones, including Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (20th anniversary), AI: Artificial Intelligence (25th anniversary), and Independence Day (30th anniversary). All three movies will tap into the nostalgia of each era.

TL;DR: Amazon has chopped a whole $100 off the ASUS ROG Strix 27-inch 1440P HDR gaming monitor (XG27ACMS), now only $249. With that 29% cut, you’re getting this monitor’s lowest price yet for 320Hz QHD and a speedy 0.3ms response time.

A great gaming monitor doesn’t need to take up your entire desk, and Amazon has just knocked a seriously speedy ASUS ROG Strix display down to its best price yet. 

As of June 4, the ASUS ROG Strix 27-inch 1440P USB-C HDR gaming monitor (XG27ACMS) is on sale at Amazon for $249, down from its typical $349 price. This 29% discount means $100 off the 27-inch Fast IPS model, with the listing currently shipped and sold by Amazon itself, free returns included, and faster delivery available for Prime members.

This cut has also taken the monitor to its lowest price ever (as seen on price tracker camelcamelcamel), not hitting a price point this low since December last year.

Along with a 2560 x 1440 QHD display, you’re getting a refresh rate as high as 320Hz when overclocked. This is exactly the kind of spec you want for shooters like Marathon, racing games like Forza Horizon 6, and even single-player games like 007: First Light, where smooth motion can make the gaming experience even better.

If all those Hz during high-octane titles make you worry about screen-tearing, though, ASUS’ added Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync works to keep that to a minimum — along with ghosting. 

The model in the ROG Strix range also comes with G-SYNC compatibility, DisplayHDR 400 support, USB-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode, and ASUS’ DisplayWidget Center software, so you can tweak monitor settings with a mouse instead of going through trial and error with on-screen buttons.

If you’re open to a monitor that’s a bit bigger, Samsung's 32-inch Odyssey G5 QHD gaming monitor has dropped to a record low price on Amazon, too. 

On the off-chance you may want to make the jump to QD-OLED, you can also save $350 on this 34-inch ASUS ROG Strix Ultrawide QD-OLED gaming monitor.

If you’re also a Pokémon TCG fan, although currently not available on Amazon, the newly announced Pitch Black expansion — Booster Packs, ETBs, Display Boxes, and Booster Bundles — is available to preorder at TCGplayer.
