Stop opening your browser for these 8 tasks, the terminal does them better
The terminal looks like an unassuming (sometimes intimidating) black box and feels like it’s only meant for pros or experts. It’s not as inscrutable as it seems though. Anybody can learn to use it and get stuff done. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll often find yourself launching a terminal instead of opening a new browser tab. That’s because the terminal is faster, reliable, and never shows ads.
After a brief slump, iRobot announced 5 new Roombas and a wet dry vacuum. Is it redemption arc time?
When iRobot filed for bankruptcy in December of last year, no one knew for sure if we'd ever see the launch of a new Roomba again. iRobot confirmed plans for a comeback with a big announcement on July 7: New Roombas have been released for the first time since iRobot handed ownership to its manufacturer, Picea.
Of the five new Roomba robot vacuums and the new cordless upright wet dry Roomba vacuum, most are available for purchase now. Others will be ready to ship over the next few weeks. Here's a quick rundown of the 2026 lineup:
Roomba Electro Plus 5-in-1 Disinfecting Hard Floor Cleaner — $399.99 (available now)
Roomba Max 775 Combo + AutoWash Dock — $999.99 (available now)
Roomba Plus 575 Combo + AutoWash Dock — $799.99 (available to preorder now)
Roomba Max 715 Vacuum + AutoEmpty Dock — $699.99 (available to preorder now)
Roomba Plus 515 Combo + AutoWash Dock — $699.99 (available now)
Roomba Plus 415 Combo + AutoWash Dock — $599.99 (available now)
It pains me to say that the pink Mini Roomba still hasn't made its way to the U.S. But let's go over the other big developments.
The Roomba Electro Plus is probably the most fun addition to the family. This actually isn't iRobot's first foray into non-robotic vacuums — the retired iRobot H1 handheld vacuum is buried deep in niche iRobot lore. The Roomba Electro Plus has too many cool features to be forgotten that easily. If it can resonate with consumers better than Dyson's latest attempt to branch into the robot vacuum space, it's already a W in my book.

Credit: iRobotThe brand's first upright cordless wet dry vacuum electrolyzes regular tap water to kill 99.99 percent of surface germs and bacteria without the use of chemicals. The roller mop can clean up wet and dry messes in the same pass, then washes itself while it charges on the ThermaClean Dock. Priced at just $399.99, the Roomba Electro Plus feels pretty affordable compared to similar wet dry vacuums from Roborock, Mova, Tineco, and Dreame.
But as someone who tests new robot vacuums every single month, I had another question brewing: Will any of these Roombas be good enough to make my list of the best robot vacuums of 2026?
A few main points stuck out during my initial skim of the press release. Good news first: These Roomba prices aren't as delusional as they've been in the past.
Pre-bankruptcy, most Roombas were simply too expensive for the basic stuff that they could do — competing brands were offering the same baseline cleaning and maintenance features for much less money. iRobot and new owner Picea have gotten a little more practical.
The Roomba Max 775. Credit: iRobot The Roomba Plus 415 Combo. Credit: iRobotThe Roomba Max 775 and its heated spot mopping really stood out to me. At $999.99, the Roomba Max 775 might be the most affordable roller mop robot vacuum that actively uses hot water while scrubbing. That was one of my favorite things about the Narwal 2 Flow, which costs $1,499.99.
In terms of suction power, these new Roombas are a much better bang for your buck than past Roombas. iRobot typically doesn't outwardly list suction power measurements in Pascals (Pa) for easy comparison to other robovacs. I was able to confirm the numbers with iRobot via email: The Roomba Plus 415 has 20,000 Pa, the Roomba Plus 515 has 25,000 Pa, the Roomba Plus 515 has 22,000 Pa, and the Roomba Max 775 and Max 715 come in hot at 30,000 Pa. For reference, the most powerful robot vacuums on the market right now have 35,000 to 36,000 Pa suction power, so 30,000 Pa is still pretty ferocious.
SEE ALSO: The best robot vacuums of 2026 so far: I've tested 10+ new models since January, but these 4 stood outWith stats like that, the two most premium Roombas could easily earn a spot as one of the best robot vacuum and mop combos this year.
The big red flag is that only two of the new Roombas have PrecisionVision AI (iRobot's version of small obstacle avoidance technology), and of course, they're the two most expensive models. Both Roborock and Dreame have more than one robot vacuum in the $500 to $800 price range that can avoid obstacles like cords, socks, and pet waste. If iRobot really wants to change consumer minds about its value as a brand, it can't be reserving such a core feature for only its premium models.
Your old 250GB SSD is too small for Windows, but it's perfect for this
Small SSDs may seem a bit useless in this day and age, when a single AAA game can take up over 100GB. But I have a bunch of these old, outdated drives, including 120GB and 250GB options, that still work just fine. I can bet that you might have some too, if you dig through old drawers or disassemble an old PC.
Kai Cenat’s Streamer University is back, and the 2026 class is stacked
Kai Cenat is once again taking the internet back to school, and this year's class is stacked.
On Monday, July 6, Cenat returned to livestreaming to reveal the 2026 roster for Streamer University, his creator-focused bootcamp that brings aspiring streamers, rising online personalities, and some of the biggest names on the internet together in one space for workshops, collaborations, and live content.
The reveal streamed on Twitch and YouTube on Monday night, where Cenat announced this year's professors, club directors, and students. That list starts with some of the most recognizable names in streaming and creator culture. Agent00, Cinna, The Sushi Dragon, Ludwig, Kaiya Cenat, Poudii, Pokimane, Faze Adapt, Lizzo, YourRAGE, and Mashable 101 honorees Maya Higa and Duke Dennis are all set to serve as professors for the 2026 class.

Nick Nayersina will lead the fraternity; Lethal Shooter will run basketball; Markell Washington will lead cheerleading; Oliver Cannon and Gibson Hazard will head the film club; Proto will oversee science and engineering; T-Pain will lead musical arts; Markus King will run debate; and Yonna Jay will lead drama.
Yes, Streamer University has a drama club.
The student roster includes Queen Naija, Skai Jackson, Stable Ronaldo, Sketch, DreamDoll, Sara Saffari, PlaqueBoyMax, Jasontheween, Kanel Joseph, Bonnie, Tatum Bittick, Marlon, Braeden, OnlyLarryKing, and dozens of other creators.

The program gives growing creators access to major names in the streaming world while helping them build audiences across platforms. Selected students take part in a multi-day experience focused on networking, content creation, mentorship, and collaboration. Everything from attendance to meals and accommodations is covered for accepted participants.
This year's return began in June, when Cenat announced Streamer University 2026 with a cinematic trailer posted to his social media accounts. The video leaned into the school theme, showing Cenat approaching an abandoned, Hogwarts-like version of Streamer University that had been overtaken by owls carrying dusty applications.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Applications opened online for three tracks: students, professors, and club directors. Prospective students had to be at least 18 years old, able to travel within the United States, and submit at least one social media account for review. Applicants were also asked to send in a short video showing their personality, content style, and why they wanted to attend.
The 2026 rollout had already shown how big Streamer University had become before Cenat even revealed the final roster. In June, he also held in-person audition events in cities including New York, Los Angeles, and Atlanta, drawing crowds of hopeful creators who wanted a shot at joining the class.
On Wednesday, June 17, thousands of people gathered outside State Farm Arena in Atlanta, and the auditions were eventually shut down due to safety concerns related to the turnout.

A 2023 Morning Consult survey found that 57 percent of Gen Zers said they would become an influencer if given the opportunity, with money, flexibility, and fun among the biggest reasons the career path appealed to them. The problem is that as creator careers become more appealing, it becomes harder to stand out. Streamer University gives selected creators what is difficult to build alone: access to major names, built-in collaboration, and the chance to be seen by an audience much larger than their own.
With more than 20 million followers on Twitch, Cenat is currently the platform's most-followed streamer, but his influence now reaches well beyond his own channel. Streamer University has become one of the clearest examples of that reach — a creator-led event big enough to draw massive crowds, major names, and a student class hoping the right collaboration can change everything.
Foldable iPhone Ultra vs. iPad: How their screens (reportedly) compare
We are just a few months away from Apple's big annual September iPhone event, where the company will undoubtedly make major announcements about the iPhone 18. There are also reports that the long-awaited foldable iPhone, known as iPhone Ultra, will be announced at the event.
A new report from an Apple analyst today says the iPhone Ultra will likely launch at a price between $2,300 and $2,500. That's roughly twice the price of the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
If you're really set on buying the foldable iPhone but are a little turned off by the price, here's how to justify it. The iPhone Ultra isn't just a foldable iPhone. It's also going to be like having a pocket-sized, foldable iPad.
When closed, the iPhone Ultra will look like the average iPhone. However, when opened, the iPhone Ultra's inner display will be just like an iPad mini-sized OLED display with a 4:3 aspect ratio. The iPhone Ultra reportedly measures at 7.8 inches when opened, putting it right around the size of the 8.3-inch iPad mini.
Over on Reddit, one user created a size comparison image of the iPhone Ultra's reported dimensions alongside Apple's current iPad lineup, including the iPad mini and iPad Pro.
RedditThe iPhone Ultra, when opened, seems more like a part of the iPad family than any iPhone model.
In fact, the iPhone Ultra looks like it'll be wider than other foldable smartphone models from Apple's competitors, such as Google's Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7, and the Motorola Fold.
When the iPhone Ultra is officially announced, it'll be interesting to see whether Apple positions the foldable device as more than just an iPhone but also a pocket-sized tablet. Based on its reported display, the iPhone Ultra can certainly serve that purpose.
There will likely be many more leaks and rumors in the weeks to come. We'll officially find out more at the Apple event in September.
New iPhone Air 2 battery and camera details leak
New details are emerging about the iPhone Air 2's expected camera and battery upgrades, adding specificity to earlier reporting on Apple's next ultra-thin device.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman first reported in June that Apple plans to add a second rear camera lens to the iPhone Air 2 and improve its battery life. The original iPhone Air launched with just a single 48-megapixel lens, and Gurman's report indicated the additional lens would be ultrawide rather than telephoto.
SEE ALSO: Samsung to take on the iPhone Pro with the new Galaxy S27 Pro?That claim has now been backed by leaker Digital Chat Station, according to 9to5Mac, which noted the source has a solid track record. The outlet said it had been unclear whether the second lens would be telephoto or ultrawide, with its own reader poll showing a preference for telephoto, but recent reporting has converged on an ultrawide lens.
On battery life, 9to5Mac reported that Digital Chat Station has provided specific figures suggesting a notably higher-capacity battery, citing supply-chain forecasts pointing to roughly 3,500 mAh, up from the current model's 3,149 mAh. That would put the Air 2 closer to the 3,692 mAh battery found in the standard iPhone 17.
Both upgrades would address the most common criticisms of the original iPhone Air. Mashable's review of the device praised its slim form factor but flagged the lack of a second lens and underwhelming battery life as its biggest shortcomings, adding that those issues may have contributed to soft sales.
The iPhone Air 2 isn't expected to launch until spring 2027, following earlier reporting by The Information that cited weak first-generation sales as the reason for delaying the device's release beyond Apple's typical fall cycle. Apple's iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Fold are still expected to debut this fall.
Erling Haaland makes the Majin Buu meme official
Erling Haaland bears a striking resemblance to Dragon Ball Z villain Majin Buu. This isn't new information; it's a comparison that first went viral way back in 2021. The meme has resurfaced as the Norway striker has become one of the breakout stars of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
But only now, as his team prepares for a quarter-final showdown with England, has Haaland finally acknowledged the likeness himself.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.The latest chapter in this long-running meme began with an Instagram post from @hidden.ny, showing Haaland recreating Majin Buu's signature hand gesture.
Fans immediately flooded the comments with references to the iconic villain, continuing a joke that has done the rounds on social media for years.
Then Haaland joined in. Responding in the comments on July 6, the Manchester City striker wrote: "I mean I don't disagree."
That single sentence was all the internet needed.
View this post on InstagramScreenshots of Haaland's response quickly spread on X, Instagram, and TikTok, with fans celebrating the striker's tacit approval of one of his most persistent online memes.
Majin Buu is one of the most memorable antagonists in the legendary anime series Dragon Ball Z. Created by the wizard Bibidi and later unleashed by Babidi, the pink magical being is known for his seemingly limitless power, ability to regenerate from almost any injury, as well as his habit of turning opponents into candy before eating them.
Fans aren't exactly saying Haaland has the character's villainous tendencies. The joke has always been about the resemblance — not just his closely shaved blond hair and broad facial features, but also the occasional expression that gives off unmistakable Majin Buu energy.
View this post on InstagramThe meme has gone far beyond side-by-side comparisons. Some fans have made art by kitting Majin Buu out in a Norway shirt and giving the pink villain Haaland’s signature blond hair.
One kitted-out mockup DBZ figure seems a perfect collectible for soccer and anime fans alike.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.As far as athlete-anime comparisons go, it's one of many. But they don't always get acknowledged by the subject. Now that Haaland has officially signed off, fans can consider this meme canon.

The Camp Snap CS-8 made a special appearance at Taylor Swifts wedding. Heres how to snag one for yourself.
The wedding of the summer year was packed with a star-studded attendance list. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce married at Madison Square Garden on July 3 with A-list celebs like Emma Stone, Tom Hanks, Sabrina Carpenter, Zoë Kravitz, Graham Norton, and a massive list of more. But something in attendance caught the eye of the Mashable shopping team: the Camp Snap CS-8 Digital Video Camcorder.
View this post on InstagramWe've seen Taylor herself using the Camp Snap CS-8 in the past, but on her wedding day, Kelly Stafford, podcaster and wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, was seen with the modern-day take on a camcorder.

Samsung Galaxy Unpacked preview: Everything we expect from the July event
Samsung is set to capture the world's attention by hijacking the tech world's attention for a couple of hours later this month.
The Korean tech giant is reportedly holding a new Galaxy Unpacked event in London on July 22, according to many leaks and rumors. At this event, we'll more than likely see at least six new devices from Samsung. Without wasting any more time, here's what to expect from the next Galaxy Unpacked.
SEE ALSO: Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2: What's actually new (and what's not) Three new foldables arriving, including Z Flip 8, Z Fold 8 This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.The real headliner of each summer Unpacked, at least in recent years, has been Samsung's lineup of foldable phones. For several years, Samsung has launched a new Z Flip and Z Fold phone each summer. In 2026, all reports indicate a third phone is being added to the list. The three Samsung foldables we expect to see at Unpacked are:
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra
This is where things get a little confusing. You'd think the Z Fold 8 Ultra would be the new addition to the lineup, but recent reports indicate that the Z Fold 8 is actually a new device this year. Rumors for months have pointed to Samsung releasing a wider foldable this year, and it sounds like that phone will take the Z Fold 8 name, while a true successor to the Z Fold 7 will be called Z Fold 8 Ultra.
Anyway, the new Z Fold 8 will potentially have a 5.4-inch outer display and a 7.8-inch inner display when unfolded. These dimensions are pretty similar to the rumored design of the still-unannounced foldable iPhone, suggesting Samsung wants to introduce this third foldable as a direct competitor to Apple's device.
Aside from that, we expect the Z Fold 8 Ultra to be fairly similar in design to the Z Fold 7, with a new Snapdragon chip and a stronger 200MP main camera on the back. Samsung is also said to have done some work to make the crease on the folding display less visible this year. The Z Flip 8, by all accounts, will follow a similar path: roughly the same design as the Z Flip 7, but with a better processor and a less visible crease.
Oh, and thanks to RAMageddon, do not be surprised to see year-over-year price increases for all of these devices.
New Galaxy Watches on the waySamsung usually uses this summer event to showcase its latest smartwatch advancements, and 2026 looks no different. This year, we expect to see two new Samsung watches:
Samsung Galaxy Watch 9
Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2
It's generally accepted that both of these phones will see fairly incremental changes from before. There will surely be new health-tracking features, and some small design changes, with the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 in particular said to incorporate classic numbers on the watch face, a thinner bezel, and better side buttons. Most importantly, for some, it sounds like Samsung is skipping out on a new Galaxy Watch Classic this year. You'll get a base model and a premium model, and that's it, as far as anyone can tell.
Galaxy Glasses tipped for their big debutLastly, Samsung's long-awaited smart glasses should make their debut at Unpacked in July. Most likely called Galaxy Glasses, we expect these specs to work similarly to the ones Meta has been releasing for a few years now. They will not include any augmented reality or heads-up display features, focusing instead on on-board cameras and a built-in AI assistant, courtesy of Google Gemini, to provide information about what you're seeing, should you ask.
It should be a pretty packed showcase, so stay tuned for all of our coverage as we get closer to Galaxy Unpacked in July.

Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender trailer: The Gaang is all grown up, and theres a new airbender in the mix
Avatar: The Last Airbender fans, get ready for a news double whammy. Paramount+ has dropped the first trailer for the highly anticipated Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender, and it has also moved up the film's release date by several months, from October to July 25.
SEE ALSO: Netflix's 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' Season 2: Your ultimate guide to every episode mash-upThe sequel film to Nickelodeon's beloved Avatar: The Last Airbender series, Avatar Aang has been plagued by a series of unfortunate setbacks. It was initially slated for a theatrical release before Paramount switched it to a streaming-only launch. Then, in April, the film leaked in its entirety.
These external factors are a shame, because based on the trailer, Avatar Aang promises to be an exciting return to the world of Avatar, one that deserves to be experienced on the big screen without having any of its surprises ruined by leaks.
The film takes place in the future, with Aang (voiced by Eric Nam), Katara (Jessica Matten), Sokka (Román Zaragoza), Toph (Dionne Quan), and Zuko (Steven Yeun) all grown up. Thanks to their work in the original series, the world's three remaining nations live together in harmony. However, everything could change when Aang learns of an ancient power that could save the Air Nomads from extinction.
The trailer introduces a new airbender named Tagah (Dave Bautista). Like Aang, he appears to have been frozen in an iceberg for generations, only to wake up in an entirely new world. Could he and Aang rebuild the Air Nomads together? (Given that airbenders do make a full return in The Legend of Korra Season 3, we're guessing there are some twists to Aang and Tagah's collaboration.)
Check out the full trailer above to meet Tagah, experience the Gaang as adults, and witness some truly spectacular bending.
Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender premieres July 25 on Paramount+.
Best price ever: The 65-inch Hisense U7 Mini LED TV is even cheaper than Prime Day

If the World Cup has really highlighted how badly you need a new TV, now's a great time to upgrade. While Prime Day brought down prices of 2026 significantly, one model got even cheaper two weeks after the sale.
As of July 7, the Hisense 65-inch U7 Mini-LED ULED 4K TV is on sale at Amazon for only $847.99. That's 43% off its list price of $1,499.99 and $2 cheaper than it was on Prime Day.
Just released in March 2026, the U7 series delivers a Mini LED performance you'd typically find on higher priced models. The backlighting features full-array local dimming, which means clusters of tiny LED bulbs can precisely control brightness levels within specific sections of your screen. It can reach a peak brightness of 3,000 nits, features an improved anti-glare coating to keep your picture looking crisp and clear despite overhead lights or the afternoon sun, and has an enhanced AI processor that can make scene adjustments in real time. It still packs the same 165Hz refresh rate, 2.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos sound, and Google TV with Gemini interface as the previous generation, but we're certainly not mad at that.
One of our favorite budget TV brands, Hisense is known for its wallet-friendly prices that don't skimp on quality. Even at full price, the U7 is a great bargain. At its best price ever of $847.99, the 65-inch Mini LED TV is a total steal.
