VidCon 2026 is taking over Anaheim, and for the next three days, the internet is clocking in IRL.

From June 25 to 27, the Anaheim Convention Center will become the center of creator culture as fans, creators, platforms, brands, and industry insiders gather for VidCon's 15th year. What started as a YouTube-centered meetup has grown into one of the biggest annual check-ins on where online culture is headed, featuring creator panels, meet-and-greets, live podcasts, gaming activations, industry programming, fan events, and more.

Mashable is reporting live from VidCon, covering the day's biggest announcements, creator interviews, industry news, and memorable moments from across the convention. Follow along as we update this page throughout the event.

If you own a 3D printer, you probably love making stuff. With cheap microcontrollers like the ESP32, you can make all sorts of devices—and get your 3D printed deeply involved in the process.

Owning a vehicle comes with a long list of ongoing costs, all of which are made more challenging as prices for everything from groceries and utilities to insurance and rent continue to rise. Every dollar absorbed elsewhere is a dollar that cannot go toward things like your car loan or weekly fill-ups at the pump.

The best Prime Day deals on AirPods: Best AirPods deal Apple AirPods 4 $99 (save $30) Get Deal Best AirPods Pro Deal Apple AirPods Pro 3 $179 (save $70) Get Deal Best AirPods Max deal (and a new record-low price) Apple AirPods Max 2 $479 (save $70) Get Deal

Need a new pair of AirPods? You can always find Apple's earbuds and headphones on sale for cheaper than usual during Prime Day — not just on Amazon, but at competing retailers, too.

Today is the final day of Prime Day 2026, and Amazon's inventory is fluctuating as the clock winds down. Case in point: The top AirPods deal was the over-ear AirPods Max 2 for a record-low $399 on Amazon, but they've officially sold out. If you missed it, don't panic — Best Buy still has them in stock and on sale for $479 ($70 off).

Meanwhile, the entry-level AirPods 4 and noise-cancelling AirPods Pro 3 are both on sale for up to $70 off this Prime Day. Neither model is matching its biggest discount on record, but given Apple's plans for price hikes in the near future, these are probably going to be their best deals for a while.

Read on for our rundown of the best Prime Day AirPods deals available. If you're a brand loyalist, be sure to check out our dedicated guide to the top Prime Day deals on all Apple products.

The vanilla AirPods 4 are our No. 1 Apple earbuds for budget buyers. In our testing, they sounded fantastic, fit comfortably, and worked seamlessly with other Apple devices. We saw them drop all the way down to $69 last Black Friday, but $99 is their best price so far in 2026. Save $30 at Amazon and Walmart. (PSA: Walmart also has pre-owned AirPods 4 on sale for just $65.)

The AirPods 4 are also available with ANC. That pair is on sale for $148.99 (normally $179) at Amazon, Walmart, and Costco. For reference, their record-low price is $99.

The AirPods Pro 3 are our favorite AirPods across all price points, offering great ANC, an eight-hour battery life, plus extra fixings like a built-in heart rate monitor. They're also more water- and sweat-resistant than the regular AirPods 4, making them better for working out. They were only $169 on Amazon last week, but at the time of writing, they were sitting at $179 there.

Apple's newly updated headphones have better ANC than the original AirPods Max from 2021. They run on the same H2 chip as the AirPods Pro 3, so they support the same software features (such as Live Translation and Conversation Awareness). Amazon had them for $399 earlier this week, but they're sold out now. Thankfully, Best Buy is still offering a $70 discount, bringing them down to $479.

The best Prime Day MacBook deals at a glance: Best MacBook Neo deal Apple MacBook Neo (A18 Pro, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) $589.99 (save $109.01) Get Deal Best MacBook Air deal Apple MacBook Air, 15-inch (M5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $1,149 (save $350) Get Deal Best MacBook Pro deal Apple MacBook Pro, 14-inch (M5, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) $1,549.00 (save $449.01) Get Deal

Let's start with the bad news first: Apple's price hikes are here. As of June 25, select Apple products are at least $100 more expensive than before. That includes the full MacBook lineup — the MacBook Air, the MacBook Pro, and even the budget MacBook Neo. Bummer.

Now for the good news. Amazon's flagship Prime Day megasale is still live through the end of the day today (June 26), and most MacBooks are still in stock there with price cuts. They're not tagged as being on sale, but if you compare their prices with the Apple Store's new MSRPs for the same models, they're up to $850 (!) cheaper on Amazon right now.

Take the MacBook Neo. The base model is marked down to $589.99 this Prime Day. Originally, that was only a $9.01 discount on its $599 MSRP. But as of now, it's really a $109.01 savings given the Apple Store's adjusted starting price of $699.

MacBook prices as low as these will probably be very rare going forward, so if you're on the fence about an upgrade, I would absolutely recommend shopping Amazon's Prime Day MacBook deals. I've rounded up the best ones below and will continue to update my list based on current pricing and availability. I'm marking any record-lows I encounter with a 🔥. (Deals with a strikethrough weren't available at the time of writing, but could return before Prime Day ends.)

I'd also encourage you to check out competing retailers' anti-Prime Day sales — namely, Costco's Member Appreciation Days event. It's matching a lot of Prime Day MacBook offers, so if they sell out on Amazon, you've got a fallback plan. Better yet, none of the ones I've found are actually restricted to Costco members.

$699 Save $109.01   Get Deal

Apple's colorful new budget laptop is faster than most Windows laptops in basic single-core workloads, and it has the same premium build quality as Apple's other MacBooks. Amazon has been selling the base configuration for $589.99 for a few weeks now. That wasn't a great deal until yesterday, when the Apple Store bumped its MSRP from $599 to $699. It's a real last-chance steal: Once this deal dries up, the Neo will only be $599 for college students, their parents, and teachers on a regular basis (via Apple's education pricing). Take your pick from the silver, blush, and citrus colorways. You'll find this deal at Costco, too.

$1,499 Save $350   Get Deal

The M5 MacBook Air is a class-leading ultraportable with a zippy processor, two full workdays' worth of battery life, and a premium, polished design. (Haptic touchpad? Check. Crisp Liquid Retina display? Check. Speakers that sound better than anything you'll find on the average Windows PC? Checkity-check.) The 15-inch base configuration is on sale for $1,149 this Prime Day, which is $350 off its new sticker price of $1,499. Only Costco was matching this deal at the time of writing.

The M5 MacBook Pro is a creative-forward upgrade with a gorgeous 120Hz Liquid Retina XDR (mini-LED) display, a longer battery life, and extra ports like an SDXC card slot. It also has built-in fans, unlike the MacBook Air, so you're less likely to experience thermal throttling when you run demanding software on it. Amazon has the 1TB base model listed for $1,549.99 this Prime Day. That's 22% off its newly higher price of $1,999, or a $449.01 savings. Costco is coming in clutch with another price-match here.

Which MacBook should you buy?

The MacBook Air is my favorite MacBook for most people, including most college students and office workers. The MacBook Neo is my top pick for frugal buyers, casual users, and younger students (grades K through 12). The MacBook Pro is my No. 1 choice for content creators and other creative professionals, especially photo and video editors.

The best Prime Day robot vacuum deals at a glance: Best robot vacuum on sale overall Dreame L60 Ultra FE $699.99 (save $300) Get Deal Best mid-range robot vacuum deal Eufy C28 $449.99 (save $350) Get Deal Best budget robot vacuum deal Roborock Q10 S5+ $239.99 (save $310) Get Deal

Don't ask ChatGPT which robot vacuum you should buy on Prime Day — ask the person who's tested nearly 40 robot vacuums in their own home. Most of the best robot vacuums of the past few years, including new 2026 models, are on sale for Prime Day, which wraps up today, June 26. Since the event is almost coming to an end, I found a handful of worthwhile robot vacuums on sale to buy while Prime Day lasts.

That doesn't just refer to the models with the biggest discounts. I've further whittled down the list to the robot vacuums with the best ratio of cleaning specs and smart features compared to their sale price. These really are the best bang for your buck.

For example, the Roborock Saros 10R that I loved last year is on sale for $884.99 (over $700 off), which is a new record low. That sounds like a steal until I remind you that you can get significantly more suction power for $699.99 with the Dreame L60 Ultra FE. The self-emptying Shark Navigator for $249.99 sounds great until you realize that you can get mopping and small obstacle avoidance with the Roborock Q10 S5+ for $10 less. (If you're shopping for a really high-end robot vacuum, I recommend the Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete, which is now $355 off, or the Narwal Flow 2, which is $550 off.)

So, here are the Prime Day deals on robot vacuums that are worth your time so far:

Not to rope the Roborock Saros 10R back into it, but it really does make the Dreame L60 Ultra FE's value stand out. This model was just released at the end of April 2026, and its 30,000 Pa suction power isn't too far off from the 35,000 Pa of the most powerful Dreame robot vacuum. With accurate AI obstacle avoidance and heated self-washing mopping pads thrown in, this is a really solid vacuum for less than $800.

I can personally attest to the L60 Ultra FE's cleaning power for the price — it's currently sitting in my living room. I'm a sucker for the corner mopping of a spinning mopping pad, which still squeezes into 90-degree angles better than roller mop robot vacuums that can slide out to clean edges. This Dreame model has done a commendable job with cat litter, crumbs under the kitchen counter, and cat scratcher flecks stuck in the rug.

The new Siri AI is not coming to all devices, and recent price increases make it more painful to upgrade to new devices all at once. CNET’s Bridget Carey has been testing out the new Siri AI in beta on her phone and says a new Apple TV box and new HomePods are a sure bet this fall -- it just may be more expensive to upgrade than we all expected.

SAVE $300: As of June 26, the Acer Nitro V 16S gaming laptop is on sale for $1,099.99 at Amazon. That's down from $1,399.99 — a 21% discount on list price.

$1,399.99 Save $300   Get Deal

Prime Day is in its final stretch, and the Acer Nitro V 16S gaming laptop is down to $1,099.99 at Amazon. That marks the lowest-ever price. For a gaming laptop with an AMD Ryzen 7 260 processor and 32GB RAM, this is one of the stronger deals still live as the sale wraps up.

The Acer Nitro V 16S is built around an AMD Ryzen 7 260 processor, which handles everyday gaming and heavier workloads like streaming and content creation without slowing down. It’s also paired with NVIDIA’s RTX 5060 graphics, which focuses on smoother visuals and better lighting effects in modern games, so shadows, reflections, and fast movement look more realistic and less choppy.

A lot of the performance boost here also comes from software that helps games run more efficiently, improving frame rates and reducing lag when things get demanding on screen. On the display side, you get a 16-inch screen with a sharp resolution and accurate color coverage, so games and videos look more vivid and accurate, especially in fast-moving scenes, thanks to the 180Hz refresh rate.

Inside, it includes 32GB of memory and a fast 1TB SSD, which helps with multitasking and quick load times — so switching between apps, loading games, or moving through large files feels smooth and responsive.

Grab the Acer Nitro V 16S gaming laptop on Amazon before your current laptop starts lagging in protest.

Summer 2026 is in full swing now. Barbecues, camping trips, vacations, and avoiding mosquitoes are all on the agenda. But something else big happens every summer — Amazon Prime Day. This year, Amazon is hosting the annual sale earlier than ever, running June 23 to 26, and it’s now in its final stretch as deals start to wind down.

There are some excellent deals on portable power stations, from tiny models that keep your phone charged up to absolute beasts that can keep your refrigerator cooling for days. Having reviewed dozens of power stations, these are the models I would consider buying during Prime Day.

If you're looking to buy your first portable power station, the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 is an excellent all-around model. It offers a respectable 1,024Wh capacity, which is a bit like a Goldilocks amount. That's a good amount of power for a weekend away, but it doesn't go overboard. It's also easy to transport, coming in at under 25 pounds. It has excellent recharging ability, going from dead to 100% power in under 50 minutes. It's a summer essential for me, and it's also excellent during a power outage.

Plus, the green colorway option is undeniably special.

In addition to its small size, the Bluetti Elite 10 is lightweight and great for people to carry from room to room during a power outage. On Prime Day, it's on sale at Amazon for $107.

The Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra has a unique feature when it comes to portable power stations — it's resistant to water and dust. As you can imagine, it's not wise to add water into the mix with most portable power stations, but the Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra has an IP 65 rating and a level nine seismic shockproofing. All of that means this model is ideal if you'll be in harsh conditions. Bring this model camping in the rain or take it to the job site. It's also ideal if you'll be working in a shed with wood shavings.

The Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra is currently $899 at Amazon, its lowest ever price.

A huge benefit to choosing a portable power station is its ability to recharge via sunlight. Of course, in order to do that, you'll need a solar panel. The EcoFlow Delta 3 with a 220W solar panel is a great deal to hop on. For $599, down from the normal price of $999, you get the EcoFlow Delta 3 and a 220W solar panel for recharging.

The EcoFlow Delta 3 itself comes with 1,024Wh with an impressive 3,600W surge. EcoFlow states the 220W solar panel can recharge the Delta 3 back to 100% in about six hours. Take the power station and solar panel camping this summer, and you might be in for unlimited power.

Any Lego fan knows that getting into the brick-building hobby isn't cheap. That's why it's a good idea to take advantage of Amazon's Prime Day deals on Lego sets. The members-only megasale is still going strong through the end of today, June 26, so time is running out to shop Amazon Prime Day Lego prices.

The running theme of this year's Prime Day Lego deals seems to be "20% off." That's the discount Amazon's given to dozens of builds across the Lego lineup, including many popular Star Wars, Botanicals, Icons, Technic, Art, Super Mario, and Harry Potter sets. Lots of them have fallen to new record-low prices; three now cost less than $10.

Before you ask: None of the Lego Pokémon sets or new Lego Smart Play sets are on sale right now, but we're monitoring them closely in case that changes.

Read on for our guide to the absolute best Prime Day Lego deals you can snag on Amazon this week. (We'll keep updating it as Prime Day progresses, so check back.) We've also thrown in four great Lego deals you can score elsewhere: Walmart's Deals event features some sets that were out of stock or more expensive on Amazon.

Note: Deals with a strikethrough have either ended or sold out at the time of writing.

The Lego Artemis Space Launch System is a bestseller on Lego's website that almost never goes on sale there. This Prime Day, it's 20% off on Amazon: You'll pay $47.99 instead of its usual $59.99. That's a new all-time low (and a pretty sweet deal for a pretty big, pretty topical set). As a bonus, it comes with four astronaut nanofigures.

No, it's not a revival of the huge $559.99 Imperial Star Destroyer that Lego retired. But it is still an 18-inch-long brick version of one of the most iconic ships in the Star Wars franchise. It comes with seven mini-figures, and is particularly coveted for one rare mini-fig: Cal Kestis. It usually retails for $159.99, but Prime members pay just $111.99 this week (a 30% savings). That's a record-low price, beating its 2025 Cyber Monday deal by $8.

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.

William Gibson once famously said that "the future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed." It appears that the same goes for frontier AI models.

According to The Information, the White House told OpenAI it wants the company to release its next model in a limited fashion, to a select group of close partners.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reportedly told staff that the company's newest model, GPT 5.6, will be launched very differently than previous ones, with the government approving access "customer by customer."

Following this limited release period, the company should be able to launch the model more broadly a "couple of weeks" later, says the report.

SEE ALSO: Claude Fable 5 vs GPT 5.5: Is this why the Trump admin banned one and not the other?

OpenAI competitor Anthropic recently had to pull its most powerful model, Fable 5, after Trump's administration intervened to keep the model out of foreign hands. The company previously launched Mythos, an even more powerful model, as a limited release open only to a small set of pre-approved customers.

As for OpenAI's GPT 5.6, the model is reportedly a "meaningful improvement" over GPT 5.5, both in terms of context window size and efficiency.

In a memo sent to employees, Altman reportedly said that GPT 5.6 is not the company's preferred long term model, and that OpenAI will work with the government and others in the industry "to achieve a more sustainable approach for future releases."

The World Cup has seen its fair share of celebrity guests, but Ed Norton's presence during Thursday's USA vs. Turkey game really got the internet talking.

The actor attended the game alongside some other big names, including Colin Farrell and — crucially — his former Fight Club co-star Brad Pitt.

Admittedly that won't make much sense unless you've seen Fight Club, David Fincher's 1999 psychological thriller about two men starting an underground bareknuckle fight club together.

The twist (and a 27-year-old spoiler warning)? Pitt's character is never really there — he's just a figment of Norton's character's damaged psyche.

For more FIFA World Cup coverage, including how to stream the games and the moments that have the internet talking, Mashable's got you covered.

TL;DR: Amazon has the Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle available for $499 on Prime Day. That gets you the Switch 2 console and your choice of a digital copy of Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokémon Pokopia — saving you up to $79.99 compared to buying the console and game separately.

Get Deal

Amazon's Prime Day sale is ending soon.

Amazon has one of the best Switch 2 bundle offers live if you’ve been waiting for a new deal before finally picking up this popular console. As of June 26, the Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle is available at Amazon for $499. That price includes the Nintendo Switch 2 and a download code, which can be redeemed for a digital copy of Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokémon Pokopia. 

That last part is important because Amazon’s Switch 2 product page lists a whole mess of extra configurations. Alongside this bundle, you can also see the standard Nintendo Switch 2 system, console and Mario Kart World bundles, console and Donkey Kong Bananza bundles, console and microSD card bundles, or other add-ons. Those aren’t all the same deal; they merely add the extra game or accessories at their standard price, with no discount.

For this offer, you want to select the "Choose Your Game Bundle," with the configuration set to "Console Only." That may sound counterintuitive, but this is the version that includes the download code insert inside the box. You do not pick Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokémon Pokopia on Amazon at checkout.

Instead, after your Switch 2 arrives, you redeem the included "Choose One" code through the Nintendo eShop. From there, you select which of the three games you want to download. 

Mario Kart World costs $79.99 on its own. Donkey Kong Bananza and Pokémon Pokopia are each listed at $69.99 separately, so you’re effectively getting a full Nintendo release bundled in without paying the extra game price. 

Mario Kart World would technically save you the most value in terms of pure price, whichever free game you pick when the time comes depends on your preference. 

Mario Kart World is a fun Mario Kart game and Switch 2 launch showcase all in one, with interconnected courses, Free Roam, 24-driver races, and the Knockout Tour elimination mode. Donkey Kong Bananza is the action-heavy platformer option, built around smashing through underground environments, tearing through terrain, and exploring with DK and his new friend, Pauline. 

Pokémon Pokopia is the surprising critical hit that’s also the cozier choice — letting you play as a human-like Ditto who builds up a new life with Pocket Monster friends. Think of it like a brilliant Pokémon-Animal Crossing hybrid. 

Mashable has also put together a selection of wider Nintendo Switch Prime Day deals — including discounts on preorders for Starfox, controllers, and more as the sale goes on. For Pokemon fans, there are plenty of Pokemon deals we’ve selected for Prime Day as well, from trading cards and Nintendo Switch games to awesome gifts. 

YouTube is adding more Instagram and TikTok-like features to Shorts, because apps are just collapsing into each other these days.

The Google-owned platform announced the additions in a blog post Thursday, which include a "clear screen" feature, speed settings, the removal of the dislike button, and the ability to like posts with a heart.

"Recent experiments showed that simplifying these options made it easier for users to give more specific feedback on videos and led to a more intuitive and better experience overall," the blog post reads.

SEE ALSO: YouTube brings back DMs after 6 years without them

Here's what YouTube Shorts is adding to your videos:

Clear screen

A new tool will you hide all text and buttons onscreen while watching a Short. It's similar to TikTok's "clear mode" launched in 2022.

Heart icon for likes

Replacing the thumbs up icon and making Shorts look more like TikTok or Instagram Reels, Shorts now have a heart icon to like videos. There is no longer an option to dislike with a thumbs down, but the options in the three-dot menu to tap "Report," "Not Interested," and "Don't recommend this channel," remain.

"We’re making this change because we’ve heard that it wasn’t always clear which option to choose when content just wasn’t right for you or when you thought it may not meet our Community Guidelines," reads YouTube's blog post.

Speed settings

You can now watch Shorts at 2x speed, which YouTube has long had on regular videos in a variety of speeds. To play a Short at speed, users just need to press the edge of the screen with their finger; lifting the finger will stop the fast-forward. To lock the speed at 2x, swipe down while pressing on the play button.

Mute button

While you could always turn the volume down on Shorts, there's now a mute button that appears when you pause a Short, for more instant cut-offs.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

Today's NYT Strands hints are easy if you like a good story.

Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game, requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.

If you're feeling stuck or just don't have 10 or more minutes to figure out today's puzzle, we've got all the NYT Strands hints for today's puzzle you need to progress at your preferred pace.
