VLAN sounds like an enterprise-grade, Cisco-certified, command-line-interface nightmare reserved for network engineers. We have been conditioned to believe that network segmentation is “advanced networking,” when in reality, it is the simplest way to secure your network.

For years, upgrading your home entertainment setup meant buying a bigger TV. Moving from 55 to 65 inches felt significant, and beyond 75 inches was considered high-end. Now, 85 and even 100-inch TVs are more accessible, but something hasn't really changed—the experience.

I liked Notion until my workspace became harder to manage than the tasks inside it. Moving my workflow into Excel gave me a faster, offline-friendly system built around simple tables, filters, and structured data. What surprised me most was how naturally Excel handled the parts of Notion I actually used every day.

They say don’t meet your heroes. I say do.

Last week, my brother came to visit me from New Jersey. He’d been to my old apartment, but where I’m at now is new territory. He was losing his mind over my office, a sunroom I’ve filled with plants that are, against all odds, still alive. I was more than happy to let him snoop. It’s a space I’m proud of. He picked up a framed photo I have sitting on my desk. It captures the iconic moment Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi writes “The Note” (if you know, you know) at an internet cafe in Miami alongside her best friend Jenni “JWoww” Farley. He asked one simple question:

“Why?”

Easy reply.

“Working from home gets lonely. Snooki is my coworker.”

It was just a few hours later when I got an email with the title, “Interview opp: Snooki available Friday." And I swear I’ve never opened an email faster.

Snooki and JWoww have collaborated again, but this time, they aren’t roommates at an apartment in Jersey City. The two have partnered with Ninja to release a limited-edition SLUSHi Sundays kit. The first 100 customers who purchase the Ninja SLUSHi Twist on May 24 will receive Snooki and JWoww’s exclusive slushie recipes (plus some fun extra gifts like hats and cups) to keep your summer going the Jersey way. Perfect for moms on the go, party girls, slushie lovers, and dudes pushing 30 writing stories next to a framed photo of Snooki in their Chicago apartment.

As someone who grew up thinking Slurpees only existed at the 7-Eleven in Point Pleasant (and whose current drink of choice is the frozé at Sidetrack in Chicago), this was big news. I said yes to the interview, obviously.

Released on May 19, the Ninja SLUSHi Twist is a two-for-one, sort of like Snooki and JWoww in Seaside circa summer 2009. The machine has two 48-ounce vessels that can make around 10 or more drinks per batch. (Mashable reviewed the SLUSHi in 2024, rating it 4.6 out of 5 and giving it a Mashable Choice award.) This is great for kids and adults alike, because one side can be filled with Ron Ron Juice and the other with Ron Ron Juice sans vodka. Fun for the whole family. You can purchase this one for $399.99.

Ninja also has the Ninja SLUSHi XL, which is two times bigger and faster than the OG SLUSHi 2. It’s got a 128-ounce capacity that also makes ten or more drinks per batch. This one runs $349.99.

The day after the premiere of the final season of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, I got on a call with my idol. I entered the Zoom sweaty at my underarms, tilted the camera up so Snooki couldn’t see, and waited. Then she entered. Sipping a slushie. Hungover. She’d had a viewing party the night before, so she and Jenni were, in her words, “dying today.” I asked her what was in her cup.

“Well, today we did pickles and mango with like, a million alcohols… it’s delicious. It’s a beautiful hangover drink.”

It’s not something my brain would have come up with, but I like the way hers works. (You can find the recipe for Snooki's Pickleback Twist on the Ninja website.) I pondered what boozy slushie I'd like, and all I could think was frozé, frozé, frozé, and realized I might have a serious problem. I asked her for some more ideas, and she told me lemonade and vodka, and separately, a fountain Diet Coke with vodka, because both are perfect for the boat. 

Kids drink first, though. Alcohol-free, so no mixing happens, she confirmed. Adults second. She says her kids are just as excited about the collab as she is.

When her kids came up, a light beamed through Snooki’s eyes. And through my pixelated laptop screen, which I realized I really needed to clean. She’s the mom of a teenager now, with her oldest having turned 13 last August. 

To that, she said, “Oh God, see this is why I’m really going to enjoy my SLUSHi machine.”

She told me that her husband grew up with a shore house but she didn’t have that luxury, opting instead for “gross, nasty hotels with roaches.” Something I understood to a T. I didn’t have a shore house either. But now she’s excited to give her kids memories she didn’t get. A shore house that’s packed with family. Cousins around all the time. Memories to be made that will last a lifetime. 

To that, I told her to lock her damn doors. In my older teenage years, my friends and I would sneak out and drive down the shore in the winter to throw parties in friends’ abandoned-for-the-season shore houses. And with a SLUSHi machine sitting in her shore house, there’s even more of an incentive to get down there. I felt my 17-year-old brain working on overdrive again. She’s not worried about that. She says it’s impossible.

“We have cameras everywhere. Once a door or window opens, an alarm goes off. They really can’t pull what I pulled.”

I wrapped up the call by inviting her to my 30th in Nutley, New Jersey, next month, and she can’t go. Which is a bummer. But Snooki is a busy lady. She has slushies to drink. And I get it. I have slushies to drink, too. She invited me to a future event somewhere in New Jersey, where we plan on making a slushie together. A weird one.

And when I showed her the framed photo of her on my desk, she had just one thing to say.

“Oh my God, we’re like coworkers!”

I thanked her for her time. I hung up. My brother was playing on his phone in my living room, legs kicked up on my coffee table.

“You’re sweating,” he said.

“I know.”

I changed my shirt. We put on our shoes and got Slurpees at 7-Eleven.

KPop Demon Hunters has already made the jump from Netflix hit to full-on collectibles craze, and now preorders for the official trading cards are starting to land at major retailers. 

As of May 19, Amazon has the KPop Demon Hunters Collectible Trading Cards Energy Edition Collector Box available for preorder at $22.49. That gets you five individually wrapped Energy Edition packs, with eight cards in each one, giving fans 40 cards in total across 11 rarity levels for just under $23 — releasing on Aug. 31. 

That works out to roughly $4.50 per pack before tax, which is a budget-friendly way to get into the new KAYOU set, if you don’t want to jump straight to the bigger 12-pack Energy Edition box for $53.99 (out on July 14). 

Unlike the Classic Edition that’s made for general trading card lovers (with eight rarities and five cards per pack), the 11-rarity and eight-cards-per-pack Energy Edition is designed with collectors in mind — including several serialized rarities designed for superfans chasing the biggest pulls.

There are few tech brands with as iconically cool branding as Marshall, and even fewer still with headphones that work as effectively as a fashion accessory as the Major V headphones. Yet, the on-ear headphones were missing a crucial feature: active noise cancellation.

As of May 19, Marshall is changing that, releasing a new pair of on-ear headphones with ANC: the Milton A.N.C. The headphones are available today for $229.99 on Marshall's website.

Marshall Milton A.N.C.: What's new

Prior to the release of the Milton A.N.C., if you wanted a pair of noise-cancelling headphones from Marshall, you'd have to go for the more expensive Monitor IIIs, which clock in at $379.99 (though you can usually grab them on sale for under $300). While I found the Monitor IIIs to be a great pair of headphones, especially for a solid blend of style, portability, and impressive battery power, they do feature a slightly different design than Marshall's iconic on-ear headphones, and aren't quite as compact.

That's where the Milton headphones aim to fill a gap. For starters, at $229.99, they're more firmly on the low end of mid-range headphones. According to Marshall, the ear cushions will be larger for better passive noise cancellation and made with softer memory foam for more comfortable periods of extended wear. As someone who's tried the Major V headphones, I'm curious to see how those changes stack up, as I certainly felt the on-ear difference (it wasn't the most positive experience). A huge advantage of the on-ear design is that they are smaller, so you'll get max portability.

SEE ALSO: The Marshall Major V headphones claim to have 100 hours of battery life, so I put them to the test

Of course, the hallmark feature here is the adaptive active noise cancellation that is designed to adjust to environmental noise in real time. Marshall also introduces a new driver system to enhance the bass and treble.

Welcome as a hold over from the existing Marshall headphones is an impressive battery life. Marshall estimates you'll get some 50 hours with ANC on, and 80 hours of playback with ANC turned off. For comparison, the Monitor IIIs boast 70 hours of battery with ANC, but seeing as those headphones have more physical space for the battery, it makes sense that the life of these is a bit less. On the high end is the Major V with 100 hours of battery life, but as those have no noise cancellation, the triple digits make sense.

The press release for the headphones also notes that the Milton A.N.C. are repairable with a replaceable battery, which, depending on its cost and efficacy, could provide huge value for the headphones over time.

Marshall Milton A.N.C.: Just the specs

As for what else to expect with the Milton A.N.C., here's the overview:

• Battery: 50+ hours of playback with ANC, 80 hours without

• Noise cancellation: Adaptive ANC

• Microphones: 6 microphones for ANC and call quality

• Spatial audio: Yes, soundstage spatial audio with Marshall app

• On-ear controls: Customizable M button

• Bluetooth connection: Bluetooth 6.0

• Codecs: SBC, AAC, LC3, and LDAC

• Colors: Black and gold

It's a podcast, but make it hosted by two AI-generated hosts talking to each other about the game last night.

Reader, I hate it.

Announced on Tuesday, Alexa Podcasts is Amazon's latest venture for Alexa+, the company's rebooted AI-powered virtual assistant. Described by the company as "AI-generated audio episodes on any topic," these on-demand offerings essentially replace an entire team of human podcast producers and presenters with artificial intelligence — "no documents or prep work needed."

SEE ALSO: AI audiobooks are invading Libby. Here’s how I avoid them.

It's essentially a Big Tech-backed pile of "podslop" or AI-generated podcasts, which are on the rise along with other AI audio formats. A recent analysis by The Podcast Index found that 39 percent of recently uploaded podcasts were probably created using AI, with companies like Inception Point AI churning out the episodes.

Now, Amazon's joining the surge with Alexa Podcasts. Users (anyone with a Prime membership) can ask the AI assistant to cover any topic from news roundups to sports results to the consensus of movie reviews, "and let you adjust the length and direction conversationally." That means you can pick both the AI assistant's personality — these are dubbed "Alexa, Brief, Sweet, Chill, and Sassy" — and its "conversation style" — "from concise and efficient to warm and conversational."

Then, Alexa will generate a short episode with two AI hosts, which will be sent to your Echo device and the Alexa app.

Without a human research team, where is all this precious information coming from? According to Amazon, over 200 news publications have signed up as sources, including local U.S. newspapers as well as "Associated Press, Reuters, The Washington Post, TIME, Forbes, Business Insider, Politico, USA Today, and and publications from Condé Nast, Hearst, and Vox." Cool cool cool.

Everything about this makes me want to throw my tech in the sea, especially when you listen to...the examples Amazon has provided on Soundcloud (on Soundcloud!). Why listen to painstakingly researched history podcasts like Greg Jenner's You're Dead to Me and Marc Fennell's Stuff The British Stole when you can have two AI voices regurgitating generic Ancient Roman facts at you? Who needs groundbreaking investigative journalism at a time of casual convenience like this? Why be educated by music historians like Cole Cuchna on Dissect when you can have AI tell you what's good? Why listen to actual athletes and sports commentators present their analysis of the game when you can hear it generated?

Featured Video For You Is ChatGPT Changing the Way We Write?

I listen to podcasts for the hosts, whose personalities and production teams cannot be replicated by Alexa's "Sassy conversational" or "Brief efficient" settings — Ira Glass, Trixie and Katya; Hrishikesh Hirway; Kid Fury and Crissle West; Monét X Change and Bob The Drag Queen; Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang; Kara Swisher; Taylor Lorenz; Gabrielle de la Puente and Zarina Muhammad; Keke Palmer; Amy Poehler; Jon Lovett; Linda Holmes, Aisha Harris, Stephen Thompson, and Glen Weldon; Richard Osman and Marina Hyde; Louis Virtel, and so many more, not to mention the enormous amount of human news teams providing daily news podcasts from the BBC to CNN, and my colleagues at Mashable pouring their creativity and energy into the craft.

It's enough platforms like Spotify and Libby are feeling the creep of AI-generated music and audiobooks, now podcasters are two AI chatbots talking to each other? I don't want to, as Amazon suggests, "turn your dinner table conversations into learning opportunities." What, are we gathering 'round the Alexa for an AI-generated podcast on the Apollo 11 mission? I'm out of here.

There is a specific, sinking feeling that every Plex user knows intimately. You log into your server, ready to unwind with your meticulously curated media library, and you are greeted not by the familiar grid of movie posters, but by a sterile orange screen. The database is corrupted and the carefully hand-picked collections you spent weeks building have vanished into the digital ether.

Google I/O 2026 kicks off today, and you won't need a ticket to catch any of it. The entire two-day event is livestreamed, and you can register to watch for free at io.google/2026.

The main Google keynote starts at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m ET on May 19. The focus will be big-picture announcements, product reveals, and whatever CEO Sundar Pichai wants the world to walk away talking about (mostly Gemini, Google's AI product). You can find an embed to the YouTube stream of the keynote below:

In addition, our sister site CNET will be hosting a Google I/O live viewing party, also on YouTube, with live updates from reporters on the ground in Mountain View, California and a pre- and post-show. You can also ask questions and participate in the live chat.

A developer-focused keynote follows the same day at 1:30 p.m. PT / 4:30 p.m ET, which tends to focus on APIs, tools, and what's actually coming for builders. From there, breakout sessions run through May 20, covering Google AI, Android, Chrome, and cloud infrastructure, including one billed around agent-first workflows.

Based on everything that's leaked and quietly rolled out in the days leading up to the show — new Gemini Live models, a mysterious video generation tool called Gemini Omni, expanded thinking controls, and fresh third-party app integrations — Gemini is going to be at the center of almost everything. The smart glasses situation should get some stage time, too.

This isn't the first time Jimmy Kimmel has offered a disturbing breakdown of Donald Trump's social media feed, and it probably won't be the last.

In the video above Kimmel recaps some of the president's recent AI slop posts, including a photo of himself walking with a handcuffed alien ("Why, we don't know," says Kimmel), a meme saying "President Trump ages in reverse" ("Wearing diapers does not mean you're ageing in revers," Kimmel quips), and another meme shared by the official White House account of Trump as James Bond ("I think 007 is his approval rating right now," Kimmel adds).

The host's summary? "Imagine being a very unpopular president in the middle of a very unpopular war, and the cost of everything is sky rocketing, gas is very expensive, and you're spending your time posting online about how hot you are, about how you captured an alien and about how you should be the next James Bond."

Smart home devices can get expensive quickly, especially if they rely on subscriptions or cloud services to unlock their full utility. That is why I've switched to using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W for as many smart home projects as I can. It is small, inexpensive, and low-power, but it is also exceptionally versatile.

TL;DR: Amazon has the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Perfect Order Booster Bundle available from $46.95 with free delivery. Since Amazon’s single Perfect Order booster pack is listed at $8.90, buying six individually would cost $53.40 — meaning the Booster Bundle saves you $6.45.

Perfect Order continues its reputation in the Pokémon TCG as the most affordable modern expansion going right now, and you can save even more right now with Booster Bundles.

As of May 19, Amazon has the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Perfect Order Booster Bundle available from $46.95, with free delivery expected around June 1. That’s only $4.52 above its market price on TCGplayer.

That $46.95 price works out to roughly $7.83 per booster pack before tax. By comparison, Amazon’s single Perfect Order booster pack listing is sitting at $8.90. Buying six separately would cost $53.40 altogether, so grabbing the Booster Bundle saves you $6.45 while getting the same number of packs in one sealed box. 

This isn’t the absolute cheapest Perfect Order listing online right now. Walmart currently has the same Booster Bundle for $42.95, which comes out to about $7.16 per pack. TCGplayer’s lowest unopened listing starts at $35.99, but with shipping added.

Chaos Rising is almost here, and if you’ve been eyeing individual packs on Amazon, the new Pokémon TCG Booster Bundle preorder is a much better way to stack up on Boosters without buying them one by one. 

As of May 19, Amazon has the Pokémon TCG Chaos Rising Booster Bundle available for $60.98 with free delivery. If you’re the type of trading card collector who likes to stock up on as many boosters from Amazon as possible, Pokémon Booster Bundles are a great way to save by buying a bunch all at once.

Amazon also has the Pokémon TCG Chaos Rising Sleeved Booster Pack listed at $14.95. Since the Booster Bundle includes six Chaos Rising booster packs (with 10 cards per pack), buying the same number of sleeved boosters individually would bring the total to $89.70. At the Booster Bundle’s current $60.98 price, that knocks almost $30 off the total.

The set follows the latest Mega Evolution wave, with Mega Floette ex (that appeared in Pokémon Legends: Z-A) causing chaos in the city and Mega Greninja ex teaming with other Mega Evolution Pokémon ex like Mega Pyroar ex and Mega Dragalge ex to fight back. 

Walmart currently has the Chaos Rising Booster Bundle listed for $64.99 with free shipping, while TCGplayer has presale listings starting at $54.52 with shipping included and a market price of $54.64.

Also out on May 22, you can pre-order the Pokémon TCG Mega Zygarde ex Premium Collection for only $70. For more from the new expansion, you can secure the new Chaos Rising Elite Trainer Box for around $120. 

Although currently not available on Amazon, the Pokémon TCG’s newly-announced Pitch Black expansion is available to pre-order at TCGplayer.

The Narwal Flow 2 usually has a full price of $1,499.99, so this coupon drops its price down to $1,299.99. This is $200 in savings overall, which is a pretty sweet deal on a robot vacuum we loved in our review.

Alongside 31,000Pa suction and a self-cleaning mop for keeping floors tidy around your house, the Narwal Flow 2 also features "The most insightful AI mess detection yet for a decent price," according to Mashable's Leah Stodart in her review.

Stodart found that, "The Narwal Flow 2 holds its own against pricier 2026 Dreame and Roborock competitors. It's the only mainstream roller mop vacuum that mops with heated water, and its AI cameras provide reliable snapshot proof of the messes and obstacles they're facing. For this value, I can ignore some finicky settings."

Its base also features a 2.4 liter dust bag that can hold up to 120 days worth of dirt, hair, and debris. That gives you plenty of time to focus on other things that matter around your house rather than needing to keep consistent focus on maintaining this robot vacuum.

Who knows how long this coupon will be live. If it's caught your eye, this is an excellent opportunity to save on the Narwal Flow 2 robot vacuum and mop at Amazon.

While Windows 11 has been one of the largest visual and under-the-hood overhauls Windows has ever seen, a ton of UI elements, options, and even apps from older Windows versions still linger in Windows 11’s nooks and crannies. While some, like the Control Panel, Command Prompt, and Device Manager, are hiding in plain sight, many more are buried beneath the surface.
