OK, this one is not technically under $50, but it's so close and such a good deal, we couldn't pass up including it here.

Why using your laptop in bed is slowly destroying your NVMe SSD (and how to fix it)
Using your laptop in bed is one of the best things about having a portable computer. For those of us who work from home, it makes the dream of working from a comfortable bed a reality. However, did you know that this seemingly harmless habit could be slowly killing your laptop's expensive SSD without you even realizing it?
Jmail creators release Jeffrey Epstein’s calendar as JCal
The creators of Jmail, the viral Gmail clone that mimics Jeffrey Epstein's email inbox, are back at it again.
This time, the makers of Jmail have created JCal, a Google Calendar clone that shows you what Jeffrey Epstein's Google Calendar likely looked like. The calendar events are based on Epstein's schedule, as detailed through document releases in the Epstein Files. JCal contains 20 years of Epstein's calendar schedule.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Epstein, a convicted sex offender who was found dead in his jail cell in 2019 after being charged with sex trafficking of minors, notoriously surrounded himself with rich, powerful, and famous figures. Meetings and other scheduled events with these well-known individuals appear alongside mundane events, like haircut appointments, giving JCal visitors a glimpse into how a connected individual like Epstein lived.
JCal looks exactly like Google Calendar, except it's populated with calendar events from Epstein's own schedule. Clicking on an event will bring up additional details, just like it does with Google Calendar. The JMail team says the notes on each calendar event were created by them to give context about each event based on the email from the Epstein Files where the event was mentioned. Each event includes a link to the source email from the Epstein Files as well.
According to the Jmail team, the JCal event listings are likely to grow as they continue to pull from other areas where Epstein likely schedule events, such as his released text message archive. The team says they are also building a search function into JCal as well.
The release of the Epstein Files, documents collected from Epstein estate through investigations, have become a major point of contention during President Donald Trump's second term, have made this project by digital creator Riley Walz and developer Luke Igel possible.
The two originally created Jmail last November, which eventually went viral with the release of each batch of the Epstein Files. The project soon expanded into showing clones of other Google products as seen through the eyes of Epstein. The number of people working on Jmail has also expanded since, with the Jmail team thanking software developer Matheus Mendes and others for their work on creating JCal.
Mendes had also previously created JeffTube, a YouTube clone that mimicked what Epstein's YouTube channel would look like. The JeffTube "channel" is made up of around 140 videos from the Epstein Files that have been released by the DOJ. With Jmail's popularity growing, JeffTube was eventually integrated into Jmail's larger project and Mendes began working with the Jmail team.
JCal and JeffTube live alongside other "products" in Jmail's "suite" such as JPhotos, which contain all the photos in the Epstein Files, and JDrive, which includes documents fund in the Epstein Files.
Home Assistant is getting a big security upgrade, starting with version 2026.4
If you’re running Home Assistant to control your smart home, there’s a good chance you’ve got some sensitive stuff in backups like device credentials, API keys, and automation routines. Home Assistant will now help you keep that data secure with an overhauled backup system, following the 2026.3 version that arrived earlier this month with new features.

Aiming for 2,200 lbs, Mazda's next MX-5 could be the lightest version yet
Lightweight design has always been at the core of what makes a great sports car, and few models embody that philosophy better than the Mazda MX-5. At a time when most vehicles are gaining weight due to added technology and safety features, keeping a car light has become increasingly difficult. Yet Mazda appears determined to push in the opposite direction with its next-generation roadster.
Are MacBook Neos discounted for the Amazon Spring Sale? Kind of!
Earlier this month, Apple released the MacBook Neo, a colorful new budget laptop that landed like a bomb in the laptop world. Priced at $599, the newest member of the MacBook family has been a magnet for hot takes in the tech world.
So, is the MacBook Neo on sale during the Amazon Big Spring Sale 2026? Technically, yes.
Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple MacBook Neo, 13-inches (A18 Pro chip, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $689.99 at Amazon$699 Save $9.01 Get Deal
The MacBook Neo comes in two configurations: a base model with 256GB of storage for $599 and an upgrade version with Touch ID and 512GB of storage for $699.
Amazon has discounted the Touch ID version to $689.99, a whopping $9.01 discount.
So, while that's technically a reduction from the retail price, it's not much of a deal, even if it's the best price on offer. However, there is another way to save. If you qualify for Apple's famous education discount — students, teachers, and other educational professionals qualify — you can take $100 off the price and pick up this laptop for $499 or $599 by shopping direct with Apple.
The Amazon Big Spring Sale has lots more Apple dealsThrough March 31, Amazon is running its Big Spring Sale, which features significant discounts across almost every category. As far as tech goes, we are seeing some great deals on some of our favorite brands, including Ninja, Jackery, Bluetti, and more. As for Apple, you can find a ton of iPads, Apple Watches, and MacBooks on sale. The beloved and sparkling new AirPods Max 2 are seeing a $20 drop in price, for example.
SEE ALSO: We found the best Apple deals from Amazon's Spring Sale — save on AirPods, iPads, and MacBooksThe AirPods Max 2 and MacBook Neo are both new as of March 2026, and they're both sneakily on sale during the BSS. The discounted price doesn’t directly advertise on the page, but we can verify the 512GB version with Touch ID is $9.01 off its typical list price of $699.
We don't expect either of these products to get any more price drops, but we'll be watching them like a hawk in case they do.
Is the MacBook Neo worth it? Credit: Timothy Werth / MashableEven for $699, the MacBook Neo puts most Windows laptops to shame.
Mashable’s own tech editor, Timothy Werth, tested and loved the new budget laptop from Apple. “The MacBook Neo brings the premium features of a MacBook — Liquid Retina Display, the intuitive macOS, a sleek aluminum design — to an entirely new market segment: the budget laptop,” Werth said in his review. “And if you qualify for the $499 education discount, this is truly a laptop with no viable competition, full stop.”
Werth admits that professionals working with massive files, intense editing projects, or looking for horsepower should consider the MacBook Pro with an M5 chip — not the Neo. Instead, he says, “ the MacBook Neo is meant to be a baby's first laptop, and I mean that as a compliment. It's a starter laptop you might buy for a high school or college student.”
This budget laptop is meant for folks who mostly perform basic tasks like scrolling, streaming, and document editing. Still, Werth tested out the video editing software on the Neo with surprising success. Overall, it appears that 8GB of RAM in an Apple product with an A18 chip is still capable of quite a lot.
To top it all off, the colors honestly rule. You have your pick of indigo, blush, citrus, and silver; colors previously unseen for Apple laptops.
Again, for the best possible price, folks in the education world should pursue the $100 education discount Apple offers.

5 hit movies from the '90s that have aged like milk
Timeless movies are the certified classics that would work in any era. You know the list by now—It's a Wonderful Life, The Godfather, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Raiders of the Lost Ark, etc. These films would be revered by audiences in both 1966 and 2006. Unfortunately, not every movie ages with grace. For some films, their thematic elements and questionable characters have aged poorly. In other words, they've aged like milk.
How to check TSA wait times online
If you have been one of the millions of flyers hit by hours-long TSA wait times, or if you're one of the thousands of TSA agents working without pay during the partial federal shutdown: I am sorry.
As of March 24, more than 2 million travelers were passing through TSA daily, experiencing up to 6-hour wait times at the busiest airports. More than 480 TSA officers have quit in the 40-days since Department of Homeland Security funding lapsed. Another 3,000 have called out of work. The agents, who make $35,000 per year on average, have now missed two full pay periods.
SEE ALSO: After killing Sora, what OpenAI does next will define itThe situation has been exacerbated by the presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at terminals across the U.S. Deployed by the Trump administration as a proposed solution to understaffing, flyers have already reported ICE agents detaining flyers at San Francisco International Airport.
Most major airports are now recommending travelers arrive around 4 hours before their flights to get through the lines with time to spare.
Can I check TSA wait times?Short answer: Yes. There are multiple sites online that track security wait times, including trackers hosted by major terminals themselves. The Department of Homeland Security has previously encouraged flyers to download the MyTSA app to check security times, for example.
But much like the less-than-reliable amusement park apps that tell you the wait for rides is only 30 minutes (it never is), these websites are not entirely accurate. And, making everything worse, most of the federally-run trackers are no longer being managed or updated while the government is in shutdown. That's also why third-party trackers, which often pull their data from publicly available APIs, may be similarly inaccurate.
Most major airports like New York's JFK, have begun to turn off their own wait time trackers in light of inaccuracies and delays. JFK's homepage even displays an alert:
"Due to the federal funding lapse, security wait times may be significantly longer than normal. Wait times are subject to rapid change based on passenger volumes and TSA staffing. For these reasons, wait time reporting has been temporarily suspended. Please allow for significantly more time and check with your airline for the current status of your flight."
With official avenues down, your best bet may just be your fellow flyers.
Reddit users on r/delta and r/airport, for example, are sharing live updates on their waits and posting photos of current lines — subreddits in cities particularly affected by understaffing are actively updating TSA megathreads too, like r/houston and r/atlanta. Others have taken to r/TSA to try to ask for advice directly from security staffers. TikTok is flooded with people vlogging their waits — using these anecdotes as reference may help you more effectively plan.
Can I make my wait shorter?The standard advice is to purchase TSA PreCheck, a fee-based authorization service that lets flyers skip many steps of the security process and wait in a separate line from the non-payers. There's also CLEAR, an identity verification service in which flyers can use to skip ID check lines.
Both services are intended to get travelers through airports faster, but users online have reported that even PreCheck lines are snaking through terminals, with a few viral videos showing longer wait times than standard TSA lines. Some overly strained airports have also closed their PreCheck and Clear lines, including Bush Airport in Houston, due to understaffing.
If you're flying without a RealID — which is now required to travel, at least on paper — and don't have another form of valid identification, you must pay a fee to the TSA before you enter the security line at the airport. It's known as the TSA ConfirmID Program, and it requires a more involved security check and pat down than regular TSA. However, at some airports, that check is down outside of general security lines, much like how TSA PreCheck works.
Anecdotally, a visiting friend who flew out of JFK on March 21 told me she got through TSA in about 30 minutes, skipping the lines because she was flagged for a TSA ConfirmID check (she has no passport, and no RealID).
What happens if I miss my flight?Typically, airlines are not responsible for accommodating flyers who miss their flights because of security delays. But they also know that airports are a complete mess right now.
Allegiant Air said it is temporarily waiving cancellation and change fees for passengers affected by TSA understaffing. For now, Delta has issued a similar waiver for March 24 flyers out of Hartsfield-Jackson airport in Atlanta. United said it would rebook passengers who had flights out of Houston on March 23-24 at no cost and has eliminated "most" ticket change fees, CBS reported.
In an email to the New York Times, a Southwest spokesperson said: “If a customer is unable to make their flight due to T.S.A. wait times, we will rebook them on the next available flight with no additional charge."

Your GPU isn't dying, it's just overheating—here's the $10 fix
Cheap GPUs, expensive GPUs, they can all struggle and fail for any number of reasons. More often than not, one of the main problems they face is heat. If your GPU is forced to work overtime for years and the conditions are far from ideal, it'll start showing its age a lot sooner than a card that was hardly ever pushed to the limit.

Distro-hopping is not for the faint of heart, but for a number of Linux users, it's practically a sport. Not two single Linux distros are equal, and each provides its own advantages, so it's not hard to get into the habit once you've learned how to do it.
United States looks to ban federal use of Chinese robots
A pair of United States senators wants to ban the use of Chinese robotics by the government.
Republican Tom Cotton and Democrat Chuck Schumer apparently plan to introduce a bill called the American Security Robotics Act that would bar the federal government from purchasing or using Chinese robots or "unmanned ground vehicles," Reuters reported. It's not entirely clear how much the U.S. government's buying of Chinese robots is a current, ongoing problem, or if it's just something the senators want to prevent in the future.
SEE ALSO: Jimmy Kimmel roasts Melania Trump over her robot companionThe Chinese robotics industry has been growing in recent years, with frequent flashy demonstrations happening at trade shows and whatnot. Companies like Unitree have made advancements in humanoid robots, but Schumer and Cotton are expressing fears about security in the face of more Chinese robots hitting the market. Whether those fears are legitimate or are an example of U.S. saber-rattling towards China might depend on one's point of view.
"[Chinese robotics companies] are running their standard playbook - this time in robotics - trying to flood the U.S. market with their technology, which presents real security risks and threats to Americans' privacy and American research and industry," Schumer said, per Reuters.
Schumer and Cotton aren't alone in this, as Rep. Elise Stefanik from New York plans to release an equivalent bill in the House of Representatives. The U.S.-China robotics rivalry is only going to get more heated from here.
We found the best iPad deals in Amazons Big Spring Sale: Save $200 on Apple tablets
Amazon's Big Spring Sale is live and kicking, running now through March 31. This particular sale event typically ushers in discounts on a wide range of items, giving you a springtime treat before the major sales events get going later in the year (such as Prime Day). That even includes our favorite Apple products, many of which have fallen to record-low prices this week.
If you’ve been eyeing an iPad, we've spotted discounts of up to $200 across Apple's tablet lineup — even the just-updated M4 iPad Air. (Its predecessor is way cheaper, though.) We’ve pulled together the best live deals to make things easier. Note: Offers marked with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low.

We consider the iPad Air to be the best Apple tablet for most people: It's great for everyday activities like streaming and reading, but it's also powerful enough to use like a laptop. You can get an 11-inch M3 model with cellular connectivity for just $549.99 during the Big Spring Sale, or about $200 off — its biggest discount ever. The newer M4 version without cellular is $5 more expensive, and you're only looking at a small gen-over-gen speed boost there.

Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra has a screen that blacks out when someone looks over your shoulder
When was the last time you bought a new phone that actually had a new hardware innovation? I'm not talking about a slightly better camera, bigger screens, or all the AI software these days. Aside from folding phones, not much has changed on the hardware front. Some might say innovation has stalled, but Samsung's new phone just broke that trend.

It's spring cleaning season, and Amazon's Big Spring Sale is here to help you refresh any and every room. While you're taking advantage of deals on cleaning supplies like disinfectant sprays and dishwasher pods, we also recommend taking a look at your more permanent appliance lineup.
With the spring sale officially underway, tons of kitchen deals are live at Amazon now. That means you can fill any holes in your kitchen's arsenal (or replace any tools on their last legs) with new Ninja appliances, coffee makers, and trendy bakeware.

If you're generally a fan of kitchen multitaskers (and who isn't), this may just be the blender for you. In addition to the full-size pitcher you'll get with most blenders, this model of the Ninja Kitchen System comes with two 18-ounce cups and an eight-cup food processor bowl, so you're sure to be covered for all your motorized chopping and blending needs. Down to $129.99 all the way from $219.99, it's at its lowest price ever — and even cheaper than budget models with fewer attachments.

Another Spring Sale, another deal on the Our Place Wonder Oven — except this year, the air fryer/countertop oven combo is just $129, beating last year's sale price by $16. Mashable's Samantha Mangino is a big fan of the air fryer, writing in a post about it last year, "While I originally received it as a gift, I would buy it 10 times over with my own money." It's cute and functional, with settings to toast, reheat, bake, broil, and air fry, and comes with three different trays: air fryer basket, baking tray, and toasting rack.

Another Ninja deal, but the Ninja Creami is a favorite of ours (and the internet's) for a reason. Easy ice cream at home is an especially welcome treat during the warmer months, so this bundle arrived just in time. Included with the Creami are four family-sized 24-ounce tubs so you can be sure you always have a frozen sweet treat on hand.
Check out our full review of the Ninja Creami.
