I asked Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini to build the same browser extension, and one outperformed the others

How-To Geek - 4 hours 35 min ago

AI tools have become a normal part of my daily workflow, but I’ve noticed one small problem that keeps coming up: some prompts are worth saving. I reuse certain prompts for data analysis, research, formatting, brainstorming, and internal work tools. Digging through old chats to find them isn’t exactly efficient. So I decided to build something I’d actually use: a simple Chrome extension for saving, organizing, and reusing prompts from the browser.

FIFA World Cup schedule today: Games, kickoff times, livestream info for June 26

Mashable - 5 hours 38 min ago

The 2026 World Cup is almost ready for the knockout stages, with the last few days of groups games to play. And the big boys are out in full force today, with both France and Spain — two favorites to win the whole tournament — back in action.

Today, June 26, also sees matchups for Belgium, Egypt, Senegal, and more — including a particularly interesting fixture for World Cup first-timers Cape Verde.

It all kicks off today at 3 p.m. ET, with respective group games scheduled to take place simultaneously. Here's everything you need to know to tune in live today.

FIFA World Cup schedule today: June 26How to watch FIFA World Cup games todayWatch Norway vs. France

This is a super interesting fixture. France are tipped as one of the favorites to win the World Cup, but Norway are the strongest they've ever been thanks to goal machine Erling Haaland. Norway have won their first two games, with Haaland netting three goals so far. But France have also won both group games, with Mbappe scoring four. What will happen when two of the world's top strikers face off?

Live coverage will be on Fox and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Watch Senegal vs. Iraq

Senegal are a much better team than their World Cup results suggest. They lost their first two games against France and Norway — tough competition by any measure — and now need beat Iraq by a significant number of goals to stand a chance of advancing from the group stage as one of the best performing third-placed teams. Iraq have fared even worse, so Senegal must fancy their chances.

Live coverage will be on FS1 and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Watch Uruguay vs. Spain

Spain are another country tipped to go far. The European champions started slowly with a draw against Cape Verde, before finding form against Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, Uruguay are yet to notch up a win at this tournament and need to beat Spain — no easy feat — to keep their World Cup dream alive.

Live coverage will be on Fox and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Watch Cape Verde vs. Saudi Arabia

Though Cape Verde and Saudi Arabia are lower-ranked teams in the World Cup, this could be one of the most intriguing fixtures of the day. Cape Verde's effort so far has been nothing short of heroic, holding tournament favorites Spain to 0-0 and then surprising Uruguay with a 2-2 draw that felt like a victory for the smaller country. Now Cape Verde are looking for their first-ever World Cup win, and Saudi Arabia — who were poor in their last game — could make that dream a reality.

Live coverage will be on FS1 and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Watch New Zealand vs. Belgium

It's been a frustrating World Cup so far for Belgium. Despite having an excellent team that includes Kevin De Bruyne and Leandro Trossard, they've only managed two draws and sit third in Group G. New Zealand, who have only managed a draw and a loss, present the Belgians with a good opportunity at victory ahead of the knockout stage.

Live coverage will be on Fox and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Watch Egypt vs. Iran

Egypt have looked good in the last two games, racking up a hard-fought draw against Belgium and a 3-1 win over New Zealand. Iran will prove tough competition though, coming off the back of their own draw with Belgium. Both teams are still within a chance of an automatic place in the knockouts, so it's all to play for.

Live coverage will be on FS1 and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

We're obviously hunting for the best Apple deals during Prime Day, and right now, the entire Apple Watch lineup is at record-low prices. That means you can save over $100 on the Apple Watch Series 11, a Mashable Choice product. In his review, Mashable's Stan Schroeder said, "the Apple Watch Series 11 isn't all that different from last year's model, but it has a significantly longer battery life, and that's a huge deal."

The best deal on headphones goes to the Sony WH-1000XM5s, an older pair of flagship cans that we still love and recommend. "They [have] unbeatable ANC and sound for the money, and even in 2026, they sound shockingly good," writes Bethany Allard, our resident headphones expert. Normally $399.99, they're marked down to just $198 for Prime Day — a 50% savings and their lowest price ever.

Amazon's latest Echo devices, the Echo Dot Max and Echo Studio, have both hit new, all-time low prices this Prime Day. But the biggest discount is going to the Echo Spot, its smart alarm clock. This tiny speaker sits compactly on nightstands but provides everything you need to start your morning, including a weather report and tunes to get you out of bed.

You can now get the Amazon Echo Spot for just $44.99. That saves you $35 off its $79.99 price tag for a 44% discount.

Read Mashable's full review of the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7.

Senior Shopping Reporter Haley Henschel says, "We loved the Surface Laptop 7 back when it launched in 2024. While its CPU isn't the freshest anymore, it still impresses as a whole: It features a 23-hour battery life, a microSDXC card slot, and a 2.5K touchscreen that's brighter and smoother than a 15-inch MacBook Air's screen.

Amazon's amazing Prime Day deal on this 15-inch model comes just a week after Microsoft announced the very similar Surface Laptop 8 (which isn't on sale just yet). It's currently listed for just $1,229.99 — a whopping 44% off its regular retail price of $2,099.99. I wouldn't be surprised if it disappears long before Prime Day ends, considering the exact same model sold out at Best Buy after dropping to $1,699.99 there."

DJI's entire fleet of gadgets is on sale this Prime Day, and this deal on its DJI Mini 3 is a standout. Amazon has it discounted to $269, or 36% off — its lowest price ever. (It was $30 more expensive during Amazon's Big Spring Sale in March.) This lightweight entry-level drone can shoot 4K video and fly for almost 40 minutes on a single charge.

Keep in mind that, thanks to the U.S. drone ban and DJI's problems with the FCC, the company's drones and new releases are sold through third-party sellers on Amazon. Not only that, but now that we're halfway through Prime Day, many DJI drones are already out of stock.

Prime Day and Black Friday are the best times of year to buy these popular devices, and one of our favorite Bluetti power stations is at its lowest price of the year. The Bluetti Elite is a good entry point if you've never owned a power station before. Weighing less than 10 pounds, it's a lightweight device built for weekend excursions.

Prime Day is a great excuse to upgrade your content creation equipment.

If you've been looking to improve your audio, Amazon has a great deal on the DJI Mic 3 live right now. As of June 26, it has dropped to its best-ever price, now only $168 (normally $224). With the bundle, you'll get one transmitter, one receiver, a charging case, and both Lightning and USB-C phone adapters, so you're ready to use it as soon as it arrives.

This pocket-sized wireless DJI microphone system is really ideal for creators who need high-quality audio while on the go. It's small enough to slip into a bag or pocket, so it's handy for taking away for travel vlogs or street interviews, and it won't appear bulky on camera either.

It supports a flexible multi-mic setup, and can pair up to four transmitters with a receiver and sync audio across additional receivers, so it's perfect for group recordings, panels, or even one-on-one interviews. Adaptive gain control helps keep audio levels balanced whether you’re whispering or speaking loudly, and adjustable voice tones and noise-canceling levels let you tailor the sound depending on the environment you're in (i.e. loud crowds or a busy street).

This DJI Mic deal is available at Amazon right now.

How to watch New Zealand vs. Belgium online for free

Mashable - 6 hours 1 min ago

TL;DR: Live stream New Zealand vs. Belgium in the 2026 FIFA World Cup for free on BBC iPlayer. Access this free streaming platform from anywhere in the world with ExpressVPN, an Official Supporter of the FIFA World Cup 2026.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup has been a frustrating tournament for Belgium, with draws against both Egypt and Iran. Now they face New Zealand, arguably the easiest opponent in Group G. But the Kiwis do have a chance of qualifying for the knockouts and are sure to throw everything at Belgium.

If you want to watch New Zealand vs. Belgium in the 2026 FIFA World Cup from anywhere in the world, we have all the information you need.

When is New Zealand vs. Belgium?

New Zealand vs. Belgium in the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off at 11 p.m. ET on June 26. This fixture takes place at BC Place Vancouver.

How to watch New Zealand vs. Belgium for free

New Zealand vs. Belgium in the 2026 FIFA World Cup is available to live stream for free on BBC iPlayer.

BBC iPlayer is geo-restricted to the UK, but anyone can access this free streaming platform with a VPN. These tools can hide your real IP address (digital location) and connect you to a secure server in the UK, meaning you can unblock BBC iPlayer to live stream the 2026 World Cup for free from anywhere in the world.

Live stream New Zealand vs. Belgium for free by following these simple steps:

  1. Subscribe to a streaming-friendly VPN (we recommend ExpressVPN)

  2. Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

  3. Open up the app and connect to a server in the UK

  4. Visit BBC iPlayer

  5. Watch New Zealand vs. Belgium for free from anywhere in the world

Opens in a new window Credit: ExpressVPN ExpressVPN (1-Month Plan) $12.99 only at ExpressVPN Get Deal

The best VPNs for streaming are not free, but most do offer free-trials or money-back guarantees. By leveraging these offers, you can access free live streams of the 2026 World Cup without actually spending anything. This obviously isn't a long-term solution, but it does give you enough time to stream New Zealand vs. Belgium (plus more World Cup fixtures) before recovering your investment.

ExpressVPN's regular 30-day money back guarantee is not available for any subscriptions purchased during the FIFA World Cup between June 10 and July 11. ExpressVPN remains our top pick for sport, but you will need to pay the monthly rate. Alternatively, Proton VPN still offers that all-important money-back guarantee.

What is the best VPN for BBC iPlayer?

ExpressVPN is the best choice for bypassing geo-restrictions to stream live sport on BBC iPlayer, for a number of reasons:

  • Servers in 105 countries including the UK

  • Easy-to-use app available on all major devices including iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, and more

  • Strict no-logging policy so your data is secure

  • Fast connection speeds free from throttling

  • Up to 10 simultaneous connections

The 12 World Cup WAGs to know in 2026

Mashable - 6 hours 5 min ago

Football fans, from the obsessive to the casual, tune in to the World Cup for the goals, the upsets, and players who become national heroes (or villains) overnight. But some 20 years after the term was popularized, you might wonder: are the WAGs still a thing?

WAGs, short for wives and girlfriends, is a concept that comes with baggage. It first circulated in the UK around 2002, as shorthand for the partners of England footballers. During the 2006 World Cup, the WAGs — led by Victoria Beckham, a.k.a. Posh Spice — began to receive more tabloid coverage than their player partners.

Two decades ago, that tabloid coverage focused on where the women shopped, what they wore, where they partied, and whether they were a “distraction” from the game. It was splashy, but it was also reductive.

These days, WAG gets used across sports, from the NFL and NBA to Formula 1 and tennis. But the meaning has changed too: a modern WAG is not just someone sitting in the stands. She might be an influencer, actor, model, founder, former athlete, reality star, or even the most famous solo pop star in the world (hi, Taylor Swift).

Let's get to know the 12 soccer WAGs dominating the 2026 World Cup conversation.

Georgina Rodríguez View this post on Instagram

Cristiano Ronaldo’s longtime partner and fiancée Georgina Rodríguez may be the most blueprint for modern WAG fame. With more than 70 million Instagram followers, a Netflix reality show, and years of luxury brand partnerships, Rodríguez has built her online persona around family, motherhood, travel, and beauty — not to mention a stunning engagement ring.

Ester Expósito View this post on Instagram

Ester Expósito is French hero Kylian Mbappé's girlfriend, but that's not what she's known for. She's a Spanish actress best known for playing Carla Rosón Caleruega on Netflix’s teen drama Élite, the series that helped turn her into an international star.

The 26-year-old's career has spanned television, film, and fashion. Just last week, Expósito was honored at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival with the International Golden Nymph for Most Promising Talent.

Bruna Biancardi View this post on Instagram

Bruna Biancardi was having a very special World Cup even before her partner, Neymar, even took the field (he finally debuted as a sub in Brazil v Scotland). On June 16, Biancardi announced they were pregnant in a collab Instagram post and a YouTube video on her popular channel, where she shares moments of her life with Neymar and their family.

Antonela Roccuzzo View this post on Instagram

Legendary Argentinian striker Lionel Messi’s wife has een part of Messi’s life since childhood — and their long history together is part of why people are so fascinated by her. With over 40 million followers, Roccuzzo has worked with major fashion, beauty, and athletic brands (Adidas, Stella McCartney, Alo, etc.), and also seems like a great mom.

Isabel Haugseng Johansen View this post on Instagram

Isabel Haugseng Johansen and partner Erling Haaland go way, way back. The two grew up in the same Norwegian town and both played for Bryne FK, the local club where Haaland began his soccer career. They have reportedly been dating since at least 2021 and welcomed their first child, a son, in December 2024.

The couple mostly keeps their family life private, but as Haaland's fame has grown during this World Cup, so has hers. She can also thank Haaland for offering glimpses into their off-field life—from cooking at home to playing Minecraft together—on his popular Snapchat account.

Tolami Benson View this post on Instagram

Tolami Benson is Bukayo Saka’s fiancée and one of the key faces of football’s new WAG generation. The 25-year-old studied Public Relations and Media at Birmingham City University and works in PR and media planning, but has also become a standout presence at Arsenal and England matches. Fans know her for a high-low “sports chic” style, mixing football shirts with designer sneakers and high-street pieces.

The Vampire Lestats Sam Reid on Magnus, Claudia, Sofia, and more

Mashable - 6 hours 5 min ago

The Vampire Lestat is making this Brat Prince Summer. All hail Sam Reid, the Aussie actor who's brought Lestat to vivid life onscreen and on stage, yowling original songs of lust, love, and loneliness.

Three episodes into Interview with the Vampire Season 3, and Reid has fans ravenous for more from the wolf-killing wannabe rock star. So, when The Vampire Lestat star came by Mashable's Say More studio to talk with Entertainment Editor (and long-time Anne Rice fan) Kristy Puchko, the two dug into the blood, sweat, and blood tears of this season.

Reid spoke about songs like "Your Biggest Fan," and what they have to tell us about Lestat's life and psyche, and moreover, how he wants to be seen by the world. With Puchko, he plunged into the climactic reveals of "Toronto," wherein a new layer of Claudia and Lestat's similarities were unearthed. Beyond that, Reid teased that Lestat's music will see a stark shift in episode 5, becoming more "adult."

And as Puchko had previously pitched the idea that queer music icon Chappell Roan should appear on this season (and noted where her red carpet behavior was mimicked within it), she had to ask what Lestat would make of the "Pink Pony Club" singer/songwriter.

Reid shared, "I think he would love Chappell Roan. I think she's fantastic."

The Vampire Lestat streams on AMC+, with new episodes weekly.

The tools Anna DeGuzman uses to make her VidCon experience extra magical

Mashable - 6 hours 5 min ago

As a professional close-up magician and illusionist, Anna DeGuzman doesn’t need the help of any special edits to make her content look magic.

As a creator, however, she does make sure she’s stocked up with the right gear to make her content look its best for her 752,000 TikTok followers, 234,000 Instagram followers, and 36,600 YouTube subscribers.

We caught up with her at VidCon 2026 to talk about all her favorite content creation essentials for making her tricks pop.

When it comes to filming, DeGuzman said, "The best camera is the one you have on you," and most of the time, that's her iPhone. Thankfully, it has the performance to match its convenience. “I love using my iPhone. Usually, the latest iPhone has a great camera, wide angle, pretty much flip it around over the FaceTime camera.” DeGuzman opted for silver for her 17 Pro.

OnlyFans star Sophie Rain dreams of homesteading

Mashable - 6 hours 5 min ago

OnlyFans star Sophie Rain is often seen lounging in a bikini on Instagram, TikTok, and X for her combined 27 million followers, but on the day of her interview with Mashable, she was experiencing something much less sexy: busted water pipes.

"I've been dealing with no water all morning, and that's how my day has been going," she said. Rain, who has farm animals like cows and goats, had to give them water bottles earlier in the day because her hoses weren't working. Usually, Rain's morning routine includes checking on her animals and making sure predators haven't gotten to them. "That's my biggest fear, waking up one morning and seeing a coyote," she said.

SEE ALSO: OnlyFans 'managers' take advantage of creators, BBC finds

But Rain's claim to fame has nothing to do with farmlife. She became well-known in 2024 as an OnlyFans star and creator of the content mansion, the Bop House. ("Bop" stands for "baddie on point," and is often used to refer to women who make sexy content online.)

Rain has since left Bop House but still sometimes creates social media content with other OnlyFans creators — including the controversial Piper Rockelle, the child YouTube star who started an OnlyFans account when she turned 18. 

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Rain is controversial, which isn't surprising in our increasingly non-anonymous, anti-porn internet. Age-verification laws, which are mandates in many U.S. states, the UK, and elsewhere, require proof of age like submitting one's government ID or a facial scan in order to access explicit content — or even content that's not explicit but the state deems restricted to adults, like certain Reddit threads. 

But Rain actually doesn't film porn and, in fact, she says she's never had sex. That's why GQ proclaimed her the "clean queen of the dirty internet" in early 2026. That could also contribute to her roaring success. The 20-something (while her profiles say she's 21, she told GQ she doesn't disclose her real age for privacy reasons) claims she's made $100 million on the platform — more on that below. And despite her lewd-seeming career, she's saving up to something more wholesome one day: homestead. 

The making of a $100 million OnlyFans star

In a 2024 interview with People, Rain said she grew up poor, and her family was on food stamps. She worked as a food server when she started her OnlyFans account in 2023, and while she said she was fired for her account, it quickly turned into a lucrative business. 

Rain started Bop House at the end of 2024, but left months later in July 2025. It hasn't stopped her success, though. The creator claims to have made over $100 million from the platform, though she had trouble providing a screenshot to Mashable when asked, and her team didn't respond to a screenshot request. She said her WiFi was acting up, though the video call with Mashable had clear service. In Nov. 2024, though, she posted a screenshot on X showing an OnlyFans income of over $43 million from one year on the platform.

"I still have my boundaries, I don't do certain things on the site that I'm not comfortable with."

$100 million or not, Rain is making bank on scantily clad and nude images of herself, if her lifestyle is any indication. She was most recently in Paris for its Fashion Week, making headlines for hanging out with looksmaxxer Clavicular. The latest TMZ headline: "More Than Friends-Maxxing ... V-Card in Danger?!?"

Rain told Mashable she'll never film herself having sex (when she eventually does have it). "I still have my boundaries, I don't do certain things on the site that I'm not comfortable with," she said.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

The virgin label coincides with Rain's Christian values; she's not the only OnlyFans creator to profit from that seeming contradiction: Anya Lacey, a MAGA-loving Christian conservative, also posts nudes on OnlyFans. Both Rain and Lacey are Floridians and have spoken out against Republican gubernatorial candidate James Fishback, whose platform includes a "50 percent sin tax" on OnlyFans creators.

"Who are you to judge sin?" Rain said about the proposed tax in a CNN interview. "God is the only one who can judge sin." 

"I think that it's great," she said of OnlyFans to the news outlet. "It just has created so many opportunities for me, and I'm so thankful to even be here."

Rain reiterated the same sentiment to Mashable: "I'm literally just gonna keep going. I love doing what I do. I have fun. Really, it gives me a great opportunity, because I've made money online, so I can continue chasing and doing bigger things that I want to do."

Featured Video For You My awkward first date with an AI companion

And despite Project 2025 (the far-right blueprint for Donald Trump's second presidential term) outlining an outright porn ban and imprisoning its creators, Rain told Mashable she doesn't believe such a ban would ever pass. (Bans have been proposed in Michigan and elsewhere, but those bills haven't progressed to becoming laws, perhaps because it'd be a big First Amendment hurdle.)

"I believe that we have freedom of speech, freedom to do what we want, because we live in a free country," she told Mashable. "I don't think that we should be segregated essentially just because of what we do online."

"A lot of people think if you're on OnlyFans, you're immediately a porn star, and you're a slut, and all this," she said, pointing out that OnlyFans started as an "SFW" platform, meaning safe for work. The explicit side really took off after the majority of OnlyFans' parent company was sold to the founder of the porn site MyFreeCams, Leonid Radvinsky, who died earlier this year. That and the COVID lockdowns catapulted OnlyFans to being a household name, with the connotation being that it's pornographic.

Sophie Rain's advice for OnlyFans creators

But Rain reassures women that they don't have to make porn to make money on OnlyFans. "I met someone who just sells her recipes," she said. Earlier this year, Mashable interviewed a similar creator, Sophie Annaston, who makes six figures posting suggestive, non-nude content. 

"You have full autonomy over anything. You can do whatever you want," Rain said.

Her advice to budding OnlyFans creators? "Do what makes you happy. Do what makes you comfortable, putting the content out that you enjoy. You're not going to get tired of it," she said. 

"Do what makes you happy. Do what makes you comfortable, putting the content out that you enjoy. You're not going to get tired of it."

While she's set to continue posting content to her millions of followers, Rain's also pursuing her goal of being a homesteader. As she told GQ, she owns 20 acres of farm land and dreams of raising cattle and becoming a local butcher. 

"I really just want to carry on doing what my grandpa did, and taking care of farm animals, because I grew up doing that…I love doing it," she told Mashable. 

For now, though, Rain continues to create content and take care of her farm animals. She hasn't ventured into homestead content yet, but on her burner TikTok account ("where I can just absolutely brain rot," she said), Rain's FYP is all farm animals.

Rather than focusing on grammar drills first, uTalk emphasizes useful vocabulary and real-world phrases that can help learners navigate everyday conversations, travel situations, and cultural experiences more confidently.

Users can choose six languages from a catalog of more than 140 options, including Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, Arabic, and many others. Lessons feature recordings from native speakers, independently verified translations, pronunciation tools, speaking games, and offline access for learning on the go.

What makes the bundle especially interesting is that language learning is only half the story.

It also includes lifetime access to StackSkills Unlimited, a library of more than 1,000 online courses covering business, finance, marketing, technology, design, development, productivity, and other in-demand skills. More than 50 new courses are added each month, giving learners plenty of opportunities to explore new interests long after they’ve started their language journey.

This bundle is about investing in skills that remain useful for years, whether that’s ordering dinner in another country, expanding career opportunities, or finally tackling a subject that’s always sparked curiosity.

For lifelong learners, this Deal Days offer is a pretty compelling excuse to start something new.

Get the Language Learner Lifetime Subscription Bundle for just $29.97 (reg. $869.70) through June 28.

A new platform gives you ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and more for life — now only $55

Mashable - 6 hours 5 min ago

TL;DR: ChatPlayground lets you send one prompt to multiple AI models, and it’s only $55 for Deal Days.

Opens in a new window Credit: ChatPlayground AI ChatPlayground AI: Lifetime Subscription (Unlimited Plan) $54.97
$619 Save $564.03   Get Deal

Picking the best AI model for a task gets pricey when each one charges $20 a month. ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, and Gemini Advanced all run their own subscriptions, so testing which one writes the best email or solves the trickiest coding problem adds up. If you want a way around that, try ChatPlayground AI. This platform gives you lifetime access to 20-plus AI models in a single interface, and an Unlimited Plan is on sale for $54.97 during Deal Days (reg. $619).

How does ChatPlayground compare AI models side by side?

Type one prompt, and you see responses from multiple models at once. If GPT-4o writes a stiff email and Claude writes a warm one, you’ll know which to keep. The same works for code, summaries, marketing copy, or creative writing. Instead of paying for several subscriptions and switching between tabs, you get one window with all the responses stacked up. For a piece of marketing copy, DeepSeek might land a sharper angle while Claude polishes the tone.

ChatPlayground includes GPT-4o, Claude Sonnet 4, Gemini 1.5 Flash, DeepSeek V3, Llama, Perplexity, and more than a dozen other models. The catalog updates as new models hit the market, so a license bought today still covers whatever drops six months from now. That makes it easy to try new releases without paying for a separate subscription each time. You can chat with one model at a time or fire a prompt at several simultaneously, depending on what you need.

Past the chat side, ChatPlayground includes image and PDF chat for parsing screenshots, research papers, or contracts. AI image generation runs alongside the text models. Prompt engineering tools help refine vague requests into something that pulls cleaner output. Saved conversation history keeps long projects organized, and priority support comes with the Unlimited Plan.

Stop paying separate fees for every AI tool you use. Until June 28 at 11:59 p.m. PT, you can get a ChatPlayground lifetime subscription for $54.97.

Mashable - 6 hours 5 min ago

TL;DR: Both versions of Microsoft Office 2024 are on sale for Deal Days. Get Office Home for $114.97 or Home and Business for $104.97.

$149.99 Save $35.02   Get Deal

Microsoft 365 charges $99.99 a year for software you’ll never own. Pay for it for a decade and you’ve handed Microsoft a thousand bucks for Word and a few of its friends. If you want a way out, try Microsoft Office 2024. Two versions are on sale for Mac or PC during Deal Days. Office 2024 Home is only $114.97 (reg. $149.99), and Office 2024 Home & Business is $104.97 (reg. $249.99)

Office 2024 Home comes with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote. Office 2024 Home & Business adds Outlook on top of those four for email and calendar management. Both versions install directly on one Mac or PC and run offline, so a dropped Wi-Fi connection won’t lock you out.

Both versions ship with upgrades over older versions of Office. Word’s Smart Compose drafts text as you type, kind of like Gmail’s autocomplete but stretched across whole sentences. Excel’s Dynamic Arrays let formulas like FILTER, SORT, and UNIQUE update their output as new data lands in the sheet, so recurring reports stop eating an afternoon. PowerPoint can record voice, video, and closed captions straight into a slide deck. Apple Silicon Macs run the apps natively, so an M1 or M2 doesn’t lose performance to a translation layer.

Real-time co-authoring lets multiple people edit the same document at once, with comments and chat baked in. Feature updates roll out at no extra cost over the life of either license. Redemption runs through your Microsoft account rather than a single device, so a dead laptop down the road won’t kill the license.

If you've been taking this opportunity to shop around for items for your home and garden, there are still plenty of excellent discounts to explore. Robot lawn mowers, in particular, are having a real moment right now.

A few of Mammotion's robot lawn mowers have received major price cuts during the sale, and today is the last day you can take advantage of them. Whether you're looking for a hefty model to tackle a larger lawn, like the Luba 3 AWD 5000, or something that can tackle smaller yards like the Yuka mini 2 1000H, we've gathered up our favorite picks from the brand that are still sporting big discounts for Prime Day.

Time is running out to jump on these offers. Now is the time to make a move on the robot lawn mower deal that catches your eye.

$3,508 Save $1,059   Get Deal

This offer on Mammotion's Luba 3 AWD 5000 robot lawn mower is mighty impressive. It's a bundle that includes the robot mower, a garage, and a free gift of a maintenance stand. Normally the grand total of this bundle comes to $3,508, but it's currently on sale for $2,499 during Prime Day. That's a colossal saving totaling $1,059.

It's a robot lawn mower well worth the investment for lawn sizes up to 1.25 acres. Powered by two 165W motors, it features a Tri-Fusion Navigation System that combines 360° LiDAR technology, NetRTK, and Dual-Camera AI Vision. With this, the Luba 3 AWD 5000 can navigate through your yard, avoiding obstacles, to get an efficient trim.

It can also handle slopes (up to 80%) thanks to all-wheel drive and independent motors, and on top of that, it comes with a rechargeable 15Ah lithium battery that can run up to 215 minutes per charge. If it sounds like exactly the kind of lawn care helper you've been looking for, now is the time to pick it up and save.

Similar to the model above, Mammotion's Luba 3 AWD 3000 also comes bundled with a garage and a free maintenance stand. Usually this would cost $3,008, but not during Prime Day. Amazon has slashed $999 off that price, dropping it down to $2,009.

The Luba 3 AWD 3000 is also powered by two 165W motors and comes with the same Tri-Fusion Navigation Technology detailed above, alongside the ability to tackle some slopes, though there are a few differences to keep in mind. For instance, this model is built for slightly smaller lawn sizes around 0.75 acres. It also comes with a 12Ah rechargeable lithium battery that can keep mowing up to 175 minutes per charge.

If you don't want to go all-out with the model above, the Luba 3 AWD 3000 is another excellent Prime Day deal to keep in mind.

This robot mower is ideal for lawn sizes around 0.25 acres. Packed with a 6.1 Ah battery, it can tackle up to 2,690 square feet per charge, and it also features 360° LiDAR technology that helps it map out your yard so it can get an efficient cut done without running into obstacles that might slow it down.

For those who have a smaller lawn, the Mammotion Yuka mini 2 1000H robot lawn mower is the top pick for Prime Day.

Alienware gaming monitors are down to record-low prices on Prime Day — last chance to upgrade for less

Prime Day is an amazing opportunity for gamers to upgrade for less. The sale ends soon, bringing discounts across gaming gear, TVs, and accessories and hardware that usually cost a lot more.

Alienware is one of the bigger names in gaming monitors, with everything from premium displays to more affordable options that still focus on speed and smooth gameplay. If you've been thinking about upgrading your setup, Prime Day is usually one of the better times to shop.

We've picked two of the best Prime Day deals on Alienware gaming monitors available right now, though prices can change and more offers could still show up before the sale ends. We'll keep updating this page if new deals land.

$799.99 Save $185   Get Deal Why we like it

If you want a higher-end option, the Alienware 34 QD-OLED Curved Gaming Monitor is sitting at a record-low Prime Day price of $614.99. This is the monitor for people who care as much about image quality as raw speed. The OLED panel delivers deeper blacks, stronger contrast, and more vibrant color, which can make games look noticeably richer and more detailed.

It also pushes things further with a 240Hz refresh rate and an extremely fast 0.03ms response time, which helps movement look exceptionally smooth in fast-paced games. It's definitely the pricier option of the two, but considering this is the lowest price we've seen on it, the discount makes that jump easier to justify.

$349.99 Save $79.27   Get Deal Why we like it

The Alienware 34 Curved Gaming Monitor is one of the more affordable options in Alienware's lineup, and Prime Day just dropped it to its lowest-ever price of $270.72. You're still getting the stuff most gamers would notice: a large 34-inch curved screen, fast performance that keeps gameplay feeling smooth, and quick response times that help fast-moving scenes look cleaner.

The wider screen gives you more room on screen, which can help in larger games where landscapes, maps, and details stretch beyond a standard display. Add in support for smoother frame syncing and reduced eye strain for longer sessions, and this one feels like a pretty easy value pick if you want a larger gaming monitor without spending OLED money.
