Marcello Hernández Good Hang with Amy Poehler is a delight
Saturday Night Live fans, the latest episode of Good Hang is must-watch material.
In the episode above dropped Tuesday, host and SNL alum Amy Poehler chats with current SNL cast member (and Mashable 101 alum) Marcello Hernández — and he brought flowers, people.
The comedian talks through his storied career so far, including his Netflix special American Boy, as well as growing up with his Dominican dad and Cuban mom, playing baseball as a kid, soccer in college, getting into drama with a John Leguizamo monologue, taking his teachers to see SNL, and being the Gen Z face of the show.
Plus, fellow SNL star Sarah Sherman drops in on Zoom with a Marcello Hernández screen saver and it's a delight.
From YouTubers and TikTok stars to streamers and podcasters, Mashable talks to creators about how they built their platforms, the gear they swear by, and the trends they see coming next.

How to turn your Raspberry Pi into an Android TV box
Android is a powerful operating system with tons of potential. As a result, many set-top box makers often settle on it. It's hard not to see why: it gives users an easy way to install Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, and more. But what if you could make your Android-powered TV box? Here's how you can do it with a Raspberry Pi.
The best AirPods deals on October Prime Day: $79 AirPods and AirPods Pro 3 on sale
Wallets at the ready, folks: October Prime Day has officially dropped.
The sale, also dubbed Prime Big Deal Days, is the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season — a chance to stock up on marked-down tech with deals on items such as AirPods.
The sale runs Oct. 6-7, and our team is tracking all the best AirPods deals. So far, we haven't seen any price drops on the newly announced AirPods 5 (more on that below), but we have seen some other competitive price drops — including an all-time low match on 1st-Gen Pros. As someone who tests and writes about headphones and earbuds year-round, I get why Apple users are willing to invest in AirPods. As a deals expert, I also much prefer to see folks grab AirPods on sale.
SEE ALSO: Rare iPad deal: The Apple iPad mini is $100 off for October Prime DayThe key to shopping these sales smartly is grabbing deals at just the right time. That's why I've rounded up the best AirPods deals live so far, plus the three that you should keep an eye on. Check them out below, and be sure to follow more of Mashable's October Prime Day coverage.
Best AirPods deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirPods 4 $79 at Walmart$129.99 Save $50.99 Get Deal Why we picked this
The humble AirPods 4. What they lack in active noise cancellation, they make up for in a more appealing price point of $79, a total discount of over $50. With the release of the AirPods 5, these are the last AirPods available without ANC. Maybe that's ideal for you, or maybe you simply appreciate the lower price point. In either case, this is likely the last holiday shopping season you can grab these buds on sale. Just note that they are still $10 away from their record low price of $69, but their availability may be limited as we get further into the shopping season — they've already sold out on Amazon.
Best AirPods Pro deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirPods Pro 3 $179$249 Save $70 Get Deal Why we picked this
For listeners who need ANC in their ears, the AirPods Pro 3 currently boast one of the best Amazon discounts on AirPods. Having just dropped to $179, they're now just $10 off their lowest-ever reduction of $169. Sure, they're not the latest and most advanced model anymore, but you get a bunch of great features, including adaptive noise cancellation, Live Translation, heart rate sensing, and three-dimensional spatial audio.
Best budget ANC deal Apple AirPods Pro (1st Gen) $224.99 at Amazon$249 Save $24.01 Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Abt Electronics Get Deal at Amazon Why we picked this
Amazon just brought back the 1st-Gen AirPods Pro for $89.99, matching their all-time record low. Yes, they run on Apple's older H1 chip rather than current-gen silicon, but at under $90, you're getting active noise cancellation and silicone ear tips for just $10 more than the non-ANC AirPods 4. If you want proper noise cancellation without spending $179 on the Pro 3, this is easily the best value on the board — just keep in mind stock on discontinued generations usually disappears fast during Prime Day.
More AirPods dealsApple AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation — $119 $179 (save $60)
Apple AirPods Max 2 — $429 $549 (save $120)
The AirPods 5 have only received one small deal — a $4 price drop — so far since their release on Sept. 18. Granted, they're still very new to the market, so even that price dip is notable. We're hoping that as we get further into holiday deal season, a slightly more substantial deal comes along.
The AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case haven't dropped in price just yet, so we're not holding our breath that they will, especially since they're still brand new. That said, October Prime Day is a very appropriate time for a surprise deal, so the chance that we see even a small dip isn't zero. At the very least, grabbing them at full price is still likely a better deal than grabbing the AirPods 4 with ANC on sale (more on that below).
Amazon likes to drop the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation to $149 (down from $179), which might look like a good deal at first glance. But there's a catch. Their newer analog, the AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case, has a standard list price of $149 and comes with an improved feature set, including better active noise cancellation and sound quality, with the same battery life. In other words, paying $149 for the older model doesn't make sense — the AirPods 4 with ANC would have to be priced well below that (like the Best Buy deal we mentioned above) for it to be a deal worth picking up.
Apple AirPods 4 are just $79, which seems like a mistake. Dont miss this rare deal.
SAVE OVER $50: As of Oct. 5, the Apple AirPods 4 are available for $79 at Walmart. That's a total saving of $50.99 from the regular list price of $129.99.
Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirPods 4 $79 at Walmart$129.99 Save $50.99 Get Deal
You may have heard by now that Amazon is hosting another October Prime Day deal, but that isn't your only chance to save. Over the weekend, you could grab the Apple AirPods 4 for just $99 at Amazon, but you can now get an even better deal on those exact AirPods as part of the Walmart Fall Sale.
The Walmart Fall Sale event runs from Oct. 5 through 11, but there's no guarantee these popular earbuds will be available for much longer. (They're already completely sold out at Amazon.) Apple recently released the AirPods 5, and so once these past-gen earbuds are gone, they're likely gone forever.
Again, as of Oct. 5, the Apple AirPods 4 are now just $79 a Walmart, which gives you savings of $50.99. If you don't care about ANC (or have a tendency to lose your earbuds), then the more basic AirPods are a more practical choice.
It's worth noting that these are the last generation of AirPods to not feature active noise cancellation (though there is an ANC version available at Walmart, which is almost double the price). If you don't need ANC, these are an absolute steal right now — one of the very best bargains you'll find on any AirPods. You get spatial audio, high-quality Apple sound, and a charging case that delivers up to 30 hours of runtime.
Grab the Apple AirPods 4 before they sell out at Walmart. They're available now for just $79, which is just a smidge above their all-time record low price.
More Walmart AirPods dealsApple AirPods 4 (open box) — $71 $129.99 (save $58.99)
Apple AirPods Pro 3 — $179 $249 (save $70)

Dells budget XPS laptop is only $600 for October Prime Day — save $200 on the best Windows MacBook Neo
SAVE $200: The Dell XPS 13 is on sale for up to 25% off during Best Buy's Techtober Sale. Two 512GB variants of the premium-built budget laptop are cheaper than ever (starting at just $599.99).

Apple's mega-popular budget MacBook Neo is only $10 off for Prime Big Deal Days, Amazon's "October Prime Day" event (live now through Oct. 7). That's not a huge surprise given the fact that it hardly ever goes on sale, but it does kind of sting when the Neo's best Windows alternative is a whopping $200 off at a competing retailer this week.
In one of the best laptop deals I've seen so far this year, the new Dell XPS 13 is on sale for up to 25% off at Best Buy during its Techtober Sale, which runs through Sunday, Oct. 11. Two models with an Intel Core 5 320 chip, 512GB of storage, and either 8GB or 16GB of RAM are both $200 off — a discount that brings them down to their lowest prices ever, starting from just $599.99. Meanwhile, the MacBook Neo starts at $689 with 50 percent less storage.
Best Buy's deals are especially great in the wake of the XPS 13's $100 price hike, which arrived last month amid an ongoing memory crisis. You used to be able to buy the 8GB RAM/512GB SSD variant for $599.99 on Dell's website if you were a student, but after the price increase, it's now $699.99 there with its education offer.
The Dell XPS 13's crisp 120Hz touchscreen display is a highlight. Credit: Haley Henschel / MashableI tested the Dell XPS 13 earlier this fall and was so impressed by its build quality (not to mention its battery life — with roughly 19 hours of stamina per charge, it outlasts the MacBook Neo and M5 MacBook Air). Unlike many other budget PCs, it has an all-aluminum design that doesn't reflect its bargain-bin price point. And unlike Apple's Neo, it comes equipped with a sharp, smooth touchscreen and a backlit keyboard. The XPS 13 is also way more portable than the MacBook Neo, weighing a full half-pound less. It's a smart pick for a child or younger student.
For what it's worth, I would splurge on the XPS 13 with 16GB of RAM if your budget allows: Windows 11 uses a lot of memory even when the machine is idling. That said, the 8GB RAM model will be totally fine if you don't plan on doing a ton of multitasking.

After weeks of anticipation, October Prime Day is here at last — a major Amazon sale event that kicks off the holiday shopping season. For many shoppers, oversized TVs are the go-to item on occasions like these, dating back to viral videos of shoppers racing through supermarket aisles to get the best TV deals.
Fortunately, you don't have to do that now. You can buy a huge TV from the comfort of your own home. And as Amazon is absolutely stacked with options, there's no shortage of deals on impressive TVs, including money off a 75-inch monster from TCL.
As of Oct. 6, the TCL 75-inch R7D 4K TV is marked down to $599.99, its lowest-ever price on Amazon. That saves you $110 from the list price of $709.99.
TCL is known for budget-level TVs that deliver decent specs for the price. That means this TV is already great value before the sale, so you really are getting a bargain with this October Prime Day reduction.
It runs on the Roku TV operating system, giving you near-limitless access to movies and shows, and uses QLED display tech to deliver sharp 4K visuals. It also has motion technology and a gaming mode for optimizing the next-gen gaming experience. And you can link it up with your favorite voice assistant.

The best October Prime Day TV deals, according to our experts: Save $1,200 on OLED TVs
Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale features lots of amazing tech deals (duh). But it's an especially good time to be shopping for a new TV, as 2026 models have been on the market long enough to see hefty discounts. Sure, you could wait a few weeks until Black Friday to see if they get even cheaper, but if you're tired of watching football games on an old TV, then take advantage of the top Prime Day deals on TVs now.
On the first day of Prime Big Deal Days, which is live through midnight on Oct. 7, we've spotted best-ever pricing on some of our favorite 2026 OLED and QLED TVs. Amazon Ember TVs have particularly steep discounts, which is great news if you're on a budget this season. And if you're willing to invest in a flagship model, then you can save $1,200 on the award-winning Samsung S90H OLED TV.

Best Prime Day budget TV deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Ember 55-inch 4-Series 4K TV $279.99 at Amazon$459.99 Save $180 Get Deal Why we like it
As much as we might drool over Sony's new flagship Bravia 7 II True RGB TV, when it comes time to actually add a TV to our shopping cart, we often have to lower our expectations. The good news: TVs are among the few tech products that have gotten cheaper over the past five years, and even budget TVs offer fairly impressive displays and sound.
The Amazon Ember 4-Series is a good starter TV if you're on a budget, and that's why it's one of the best October Prime Day TV deals we've found so far. Despite clocking in at under $300, this 55-inch TV has a 4K HDR10+ display, WiFi 6 support, a speedy quad-core processor, and doubles as an Alexa smart speaker. If you're already in the Amazon ecosystem and OLEDs aren't in your budget, don't overthink this one.
Best art TV deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Ember 55-inch Artline QLED 4K TV $499.99 at Amazon$899.99 Save $400 Get Deal Why we like it
If you want an aesthetic TV that doubles as artwork on your wall, but don't quite have the budget for Samsung's The Frame, Amazon's new Ember Artline TVs are a solid alternative. The 55-inch model is on sale for less than $500 for Prime Big Deal Days, which is 44% off and its best price on record. While Amazon's art TV isn't quite as impressive in the specs department as Samsung's, it does offer a free art gallery and a wide selection of frame options at no extra cost. It's not our top pick at full price, but at $400 off? It's hard to pass up.
Best OLED TV deal Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung 65-inch S90H OLED 4K TV $1,497.99 at Amazon$2,699.99 Save $1,202.00 Get Deal Why we like it
Combining immersive deep blacks and the contrast known to come from Glare Flare OLED technology, the Samsung S90H is another great Prime Day bargain if making the jump to an OLED TV has been on your radar — now only $1,497.99.
Its selling point is the NQ4 AI Gen3 Processor, which uses 128 neural networks to enhance picture and sound, while 4K AI Upscaling Pro sharpens lower-resolution content. Gamers also get unique benefits thanks to the Motion Xcelerator 165Hz, Nvidia G-Sync, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support for smoother, lower-latency play.
Best QLED TV deal Opens in a new window Credit: TCL TCL 65-inch QM8L SQD-Mini-LED QLED 4K TV $1,197.99 at Amazon$2,499.99 Save $1,302.00 Get Deal Why we like it
Mashable's TV expert named TCL's QM8L TV the best QLED TV for most people, highlighting its "superb peak brightness, detailed picture quality, and fantastic glare handling" in her review. The SQD part of its name stands for "super quantum dot" mini LEDs, which are a major reason why it's one of the brightest TVs you can buy in 2026. Period. At full price, the 65-inch model costs $2,500, but thanks to October Prime Day savings, it's down to just $1,197.99. That's over 50% in savings and its lowest price ever, confirmed with the Amazon price tracker camelcamelcamel.
Best Roku TV deal Opens in a new window Credit: Roku Roku 65-inch Plus Series QLED 4K TV $429.99 at Amazon$649.99 Save $220 Get Deal Why we like it
Not a fan of the Fire TV ecosystem? This deal on the 65-inch Roku Plus Series TV shaves $220 off for October Prime Day. It's selling fast, which makes sense; it's down to its best price ever and puts a 65-inch Mini-LED QLED in your living room for less than $450. Mini-LED backlighting and local dimming enable finer tuning of the bright, detailed 4K QLED display. It also features Dolby Atmos sound, Roku Smart Picture, and a delightfully simple interface.
Our dream TV: Samsung S95F OLED TV Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung 65-Inch S95F Series OLED 4K Smart TV $2,319 at Samsung$2,499.99 Save $180.99 Almost sold out! Get Deal Why we like it
Our tech editor says this is the TV he'd buy if money were no object. What makes this Samsung OLED so special? While the LG C6 and Samsung S90H OLED TVs offer a better overall value, there are some distinct features that make the S95F so special — and so hard to find in stock (it's totally sold out at Samsung and almost sold out at Amazon).
The S95F borrows everything we love about The Frame art TVs and brings them into a flagship TV with a stunning OLED display. This TV has the ultra-thin design of The Frame, but crucially, it also has the same matte, anti-glare display, which is unrivaled in the TV world. Because it also has art mode, you can use it as an art TV without sacrificing any specs, making this the ideal TV for cinephiles, gamers, and design lovers.
So, while it doesn't have a huge discount (Best Buy has the best offer at the moment), we still think it's one of the best Prime Day deals on TVs.

The entry point to Hisense’s new audio line balances grab-and-go portability with solid volume, pushing out up to 40 watts of punchy sound with crisp highs. The FlexBoom speaker carries an IP67 rating for dust- and water-resistance, so it handles beach trips, rainy hikes, and poolside drops. You get up to 20 hours of battery life on a single charge — plus a fast 10-minute quick charge that nets two extra hours of playback along with built-in FM radio, hands-free speakerphone calling, and easy app controls to tweak your sound settings.

Dont miss Prime Day’s biggest surprise: A rare Yeti Tundra cooler deal
SAVE 25%: For Prime Big Deal Days 2026, the Yeti Limited Edition Tundra 45 Cooler is on sale for $243.75 at Amazon, down from its $325 list price. That’s 25% off and a rare discount on one of Yeti's most popular products.
Opens in a new window Credit: Yeti Yeti Limited Edition Tundra 45 Cooler $243.75 at Amazon$325 Save $81.25 Get Deal
Prime Big Deal Days usually brings standard price cuts on tech and small appliances, but experienced Prime Day shoppers also know this is one of the only times of the year when Yeti coolers go on sale. Even so, Yeti's hard coolers almost never drop below their standard retail price, making this Amazon offer one of the standout discounts of the shopping event so far.
Right now, the Yeti Tundra 45 Hard Cooler in the limited-edition aquamarine violet color is marked down to $243.75, a 25% savings off its standard $325 list price.
The Yeti Tundra 45 is a rock-solid, single-piece hard cooler that offers enough space to hold up to 26 standard aluminum cans, with a recommended 2:1 ice-to-contents ratio. Instead of cheap glued panels, Yeti uses a rotomolded plastic shell — making the body practically uncrackable even if it takes a beating in a truck bed. Our tech editor personally tested Yeti's Tundra coolers to verify the brand's claims that they hold ice for at least three days, and he came away very impressed. There's a reason Yeti is the gold standard for outdoor coolers.
SEE ALSO: The best Prime Day outdoor deals: Anker power stations, Igloo coolers, and LifeStraws are among our top picksThe insulation setup is what really sets it apart from grocery-store ice chests. It packs up to three inches of pressure-injected foam directly into extra-thick walls, paired with a freezer-style sealing gasket around the lid to lock in cold air and keep heat out for multi-day trips. On the lid, heavy-duty rubber T-latches pull the lid down tight without snapping, rusting, or popping loose over time.
For extra usability out in the field, non-marking rubber feet on the bottom keep the cooler from sliding around on slippery boat decks or truck beds, while a leakproof drain plug lets you empty melted ice without removing the cap entirely. It also comes with a certified bear-resistant rating when locked and ships with a removable dry goods basket to keep your food out of the slush at the bottom.

There's a selection of Bluetti power stations discounted right now, with major price cuts of up to 50%, which amounts to hundreds of dollars. The Bluetti Elite 300, for instance, is $499.01 off, which puts the model back to its lowest-ever price — the first time it's dropped to that price point since June.

The biggest and most powerful of the Bluetti portable power stations we've picked, the Bluetti Elite 300 has an impressive 3014.4Wh capacity and a 2,400W output. It's powerful enough to keep a fridge running for two days. Despite packing all that power, the Elite 300 is highly portable and offers 11 ports for all your devices.
It's currently at its lowest ever price of $999.99, saving you $499.01 overall.

To call anything that costs almost $500 "budget" seems like a stretch, but power stations are expensive devices, and the current discounted price of $498.99 for the Bluetti Elite 100 V2 is a steal. It's the most portable of the bunch, and while it loses something in its capacity and output — it has a 1024Wh capacity and 1800W output — you have to be a serious off-grid adventurer to notice the difference.

I tried 3 Linux distros inside Windows for free to see which felt most familiar
I spend a lot of time behind a computer, and for decades Windows has been my daily driver. Mostly, that's because it's the environment I had to work in at the different companies I've worked for over the years. That said, the gap between Windows and Linux keeps getting smaller for the things I actually do every day. At this point, I can see pretty clearly that Linux can handle my regular workload and workflow without too much compromise.
ASOS app users spammed by weird messages after hack
UK fashion retailer ASOS has reportedly been hacked, and its customers are finding out about it in an unusual way.
UPDATE: Oct. 7, 2026, 8:30 a.m. ASOS has indeed experienced a cyber security incident. The company's statement is as follows: "ASOS can confirm that, at around 10am today, an unauthorised customer notification was sent to ASOS customers. We are investigating unauthorised activity involving third-party platforms that we use to communicate with customers. We took immediate action to restrict access to the notification platforms and are working with our internal and external specialist advisers, as well as all relevant authorities. Basic personal information including name and contact details may have been accessed. We do not believe that payment-card information or account passwords, were impacted." The company pointed out that its website and app continue to operate as normal.
According to the BBC, shoppers in the UK are being spammed with pop-up messages from within the official ASOS app, seemingly sent by hackers who have seized control over some part of ASOS' IT systems.
"Dear ASOS DPO and IT, we have fully compromised the Snowflake instance. Engage with us, or we will leak it," reads one message, per an X user posting a screenshot on Tuesday.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Judging by posts on social media, the incident appears to be fairly widespread, with dozens of people reporting that they've received this message.
Snowflake is a data storage company which ASOS may be using, though Snowflake's official website doesn't mention it in its list of partners. ASOS itself hasn't posted anything about the incident through its official channels; Mashable has contacted the company and will update this article when we hear back.
SEE ALSO: OpenAI discloses another Australian government hackFor now, ASOS app users should refrain from using the app and they should definitely not click the link included in the pop-up message. If you must know, the link leads to a Telegram channel of a group called the "Xuanye Group," which has used the channel to brag about hacking ASOS.

SEE ALSO: October Prime Day is here: We found 100+ deals on Apple, Bose, Kindle, Lego, and Samsung favoritesWhile it's on the pricier side of Kindle devices, Mashable's Samantha Mangino still had very high praise for the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, writing in her review that it's "an exceptional e-reader with strong writing capabilities." It features a slim design — 5.4mm and 400 grams — and an 11-inch glare-free Colorsoft display. Mangino's review also says it's "faster, brighter, and a lot of fun for writing, reading, and doodling."

Considering the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft (64GB) has a limited-time deal tag, it may only be available until the end of Prime Big Deal Days.

There are a couple of things we keep a keen eye on over major shopping events like Prime Day and Black Friday: TV deals and record-low deals.
Can you imagine how our eyes bulged when we spotted the extremely popular Samsung The Frame TVs at all-time low prices? It really doesn't get any better than that for deal seekers.
A lot of TV brands have tried desperately to produce their own dupes of the Samsung Frame TV, but for many shoppers, there's nothing like the original. In our roundup of the best art TVs, we said this TV is an "easy choice for anyone who would simply feel most comfortable investing in the OG." There are many reasons for its top spot in our breakdown, including the fact that "the Frame's best-in-class anti-glare display and higher peak brightness will fare better than the Canvas if your framed TV is going to be in a room that gets heavy direct sunlight."
If that wasn't enough, The Frame was our tech editor's most recommended TV for several years running, only "eclipsed by the S95H OLED because it copied The Frame's best features." According to Timothy Werth, this "famous art TV has a legendary anti-glare matte display that's unlike any TV you've owned before."
For a limited time, you can save up to $600 on the Samsung Frame TVs at Amazon:
Samsung 55-inch The Frame LS03F QLED 4K TV — $697.99 $1,097.99 (save $400)
Samsung 65-inch The Frame LS03F QLED 4K TV — $897.99 $1,497.99 (save $600)

Replace these 4 popular Docker containers before they become security risks
Open-source is a promise, not a guarantee. And if you've been homelabbing long enough, there's a good chance that you're running some stale, unmaintained Docker containers. While these containers may be safe to use in the short term, they do pose some long-term risk (or may simply break at some point), so you should disable or replace them as soon as you can.
