This 300W (600W surge) power station offers portable power you can rely on, with 288Wh of electricity. It supports fast charging with 140W two-way USB-C ports, and has 8 charging ports total: 3 A, 1 car port, 2 USB-C (140W), 1 USB-C (15W), and 1 USB-A (12W) so it can handle any device you have on hand. Plus, when you've depleted it of its charge, you can use a compatible Anker Solar Panel to charge it back up without having to be near an outlet. If you do use a wall outlet, it can charge back up to 80% in just 50 minutes.

If you need to carry it with you, it's surprisingly portable as well, and 15% smaller than some of Anker's other power stations. That means it's easy to keep around in the car or with you when you need it the most, without having you break your back to take it along.

Ninja makes some of Mashable's favorite kitchen appliances. The Ninja Swirl affords us at-home soft serve and the Ninja Slushi is an easy-to-use ticket to unlimited slushies made from almost anything. If you've always thought you'd prefer to drink your Red Bull or Coke in slushy form or your favorite drink is a frozen margarita, check out this great deal.

As of Sept. 18, a 96-ounce refurbished Ninja Slushi is on sale at Woot for $249.99. Ninja's website doesn't list this model for sale anymore, but the standard price of a new 88-ounce Ninja Slushi is listed at $349.99. That means the Woot refurbished discount saves you at least $100 from a 30% discount. But keep in mind, the Woot model has a larger capacity which makes it an even better deal.

Woot deals are notorious for selling out quickly, so it's best to jump on this one soon if you're looking forward to becoming an at-home slushy master. Just be sure to sign into your Amazon Prime account to get free shipping at Woot.

When testing the Ninja Slushi, Mashable Senior Shopping Reporter Leah Stodart awarded the machine with a prestigious Mashable Choice Award. She summarized her overall feelings about the machine by writing, "The Ninja Slushi does what it claims to do: take liquids like coffee, cocktails, and protein shakes to a slushy consistency within the hour — no ice required. Having one on your countertop may be extra as hell if you already have a blender or Creami, but the refreshing spin on mundane bevs is a serotonin booster worth trying."

One of Stodart's only complaints is that it's hard to find the Slushi in stock, but that's solved today thanks to the deal at Woot. Plus, it's on sale.

Depending on your recipe and desired drink, turning a liquid into a slushy can take as little as 15 minutes with the Ninja. The brand mentions the large 96-ounce capacity is enough to satiate seven people per batch. There's also the 12-hour temperature retention feature to keep drinks in the prefect frozen texture. When it comes time to clean, many of the parts are dishwasher friendly.

Instead of buying a brand new Ninja Slushi for $350, go with a refurbished model from Woot for only $249.99. Not only will you be scoring a discount, you'll be getting an extra-large model that will be awesome for upcoming holiday gatherings.

Libby, the internet's beloved app that delivers e-books and audiobooks from your local library to your e-reader or phone, has made a big change to its hold system. The news broke subtly as users went into the Libby app to discover a new message on the hold page.

Libby users discovered a new message about the hold system within the app. Credit: Screenshot: Libby

The message stated: "Hold suspensions have changed. If you suspend a hold, you should unsuspend it when you're ready for it. Suspended holds lapse if you do not unsuspend them within a year."

This is a change from Libby's previous system, which allowed you to delay holds. This meant that you could delay a hold to be delivered anywhere from seven to 180 days later. This system was previously a helpful tool if you didn't have time to read a hold that came through or had multiple holds come through at once that you couldn't read within the borrowing time frame.

"OverDrive has updated Libby’s holds management system in response to librarian feedback about the impact of long wait times, budget constraints, and unclaimed holds. The new hold suspension system is designed to create a fairer and more efficient experience for both libraries and readers," a representative from Overdrive (Libby's parent company) said. "The new hold suspension system ensures readers only receive titles when they’re ready, while also moving copies more efficiently through wait lists. This helps reduce unclaimed holds and shortens wait times for everyone, improving circulation of titles."

The news has been met with mixed reactions online. Libby is a key app for e-reader and Kindle owners, who use it to read hundreds of books for free, and the delay hold system was an easy way to set and forget holds. If you were headed on vacation or all your holds came through at once, you could schedule holds to come through later when you were ready to read them.

There has been some speculation online that you'll be dropped to the bottom of the waitlist once you unsuspend a hold. However, Overdrive has clarified the process, saying: "When a hold is suspended, users continue to advance in the wait list. If they reach the first position, they will receive the next available copy once their hold is unsuspended."

While some users are less than thrilled about the change, others have noted that this change may help cut down on long wait times by moving through the hold line more quickly, which Overdrive states was its intent behind this change.

View on Threads

Libby has already implemented this change, and any books that users had as delayed holds are now suspended. To unsuspend holds, users must go through and manually do so. More so, holds that are suspended will lapse after 365 days of their suspension, meaning if you want to keep your hold, you'll need to unsuspend it within that timeframe.

Step 2: Click unsuspend hold

To take a hold out of suspension, click 'unsuspend hold' on the book of your choosing. This will reactivate the hold and put you back in line to receive it once a copy is available.

As much as we try to deny it, working out is apparently really, really good for overall health. That doesn't mean everyone should immediately sign up for a marathon, but it does mean that most of us would benefit from some movement, whether that's weight training, dog walking, or stepping onto the treadmill. However, if you want the most bang for your buck (results for your effort), you might want to consider a rowing machine. And as of today, there's a new kid on the block who's worthy of some attention.

Hydrow has been a leader in the rowing machine market for years now, making some of the most sophisticated and sleek-looking machines around. The brand's latest model, the Hydrow Arc Rower, is truly something to admire. Keep in mind it comes with a $2,295 price tag, but some people will find that well worth the money. Afterall, health is a pretty important part of life.

Get Deal What's new with the Hydrow Arc Rower

The Hydrow Arc is now the newest model Hydrow makes, dethroning the Hydrow Wave Rower. The Arc comes with the largest screen (24 inches), powerful speakers, and AI features that don't make us wish AI would simply disappear. There's also fitness tracking that caters to monitoring rowing stats that'll be useful over time.

Hydrow uses electromagnetic resistance which is useful for offering a quiet workout experience. There's also the padded ergonomic seat and a comfortable handle for a slip-free workout. Here are some overview specs about the Hydrow Arc Rower:

• Dimensions: 25 inches W x 48 inches H x 86 inches L

• Weight: 147 pounds

• Weight capacity: up to 375 pounds

• Screen: 24-inch HD

One of the biggest differences between the Hydrow Arc and the brand's previous models is the introduction of HydroMetrics. This encompasses three important aspects of rowing: precision, power, and endurance. After each workout, the Arc will pop out a HydroMetrics Index score which gives insight into how that workout went. It also gives tips on how to improve next time and highlights what went well during the workout.

While some people find the motion of rowing intuitive, everyone could use some guidance on nailing correct form. Not only does correct form impact power, it's so important for avoiding any injuries. HydroMetrics aims to help everyone with perfect form on each workout.

In the brand's press release about the new Arc Rower, John Stellato, the president and CEO of Hydrow said, "The Hydrow Arc Rower introduces a smarter way to build strength. We call it Fluid Strength — full-body training, designed to meet members exactly where they are, with every movement challenging more than muscle. HydroMetrics allows us to analyze and distill a wealth of data to guide members to perform better, and delivers the feedback today’s consumer craves to measure progress and achieve results."

Personally, I've been rowing for almost 25 years and I always welcome a check on my form, so the HydroMetrics is an exciting feature to see. Not only will it be great for Masters, it's damn near essential for those new to rowing.

A gym membership, but in the comfort of your living room

All Hydrow models, including the Arc, really shine with the brand's fitness membership. This is an add-on that comes with a $44 price tag per month and gives users access to over 5,000 live and on-demand workouts. Since all Hydrows come with a screen, these workouts take you out on the water to waterways around the globe. On non-rowing days, the membership gives access to yoga, strength training, and mobility sessions. Plus, the Hydrow membership allows users to create multiple profiles per household.

Other Hydrow models worth attention

If you're not in the mood to drop $2,300 on the new Hydrow Arc Rower, the Hydrow Origin Rower is on sale at Amazon for $1,895, which is a 14% discount compared to the normal price of $2,195. You'll miss out on some of the new features found on the Arc Rower, but you'll still be in for a full-body workout at home.

The thing about live demos is that, well, they're live. And going live can bring up all sorts of unexpected issues. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg learned that lesson the hard way on Wednesday while attempting to show off the company's new Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses.

The glasses failed spectacularly during live demos at Meta Connect, including one where Zuck himself was left scrambling to fill the awkward silence as a planned phone call never materialized. It's difficult to overstate how awkward the Zuckerberg demo gets. Take a look at this cringey nightmare.

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

And, unfortunately for Meta, that wasn't the only disastrous live demo on Wednesday night. The company tried to show off its live AI capabilities by doing a live cooking demo. The Ray-Ban Display glasses got irreparably stuck trying to make a sauce. The glasses couldn't seem to figure out what was actually going on in front of its cameras. And yes, it was also very awkward.

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

It could turn out that consumers love these glasses (the early reviews are very positive), and that they work seamlessly in real life. But the failed Zuckerberg demos on Wednesday were certainly not a great sign for a product that'll run you $799.99.

From lighting to resolution to refresh rates, complicated specs make buying a new TV a challenging task. But ultimately, the most important aspect of a TV is that it looks great — and the LG QNED90T excels in that category. Better yet, for the first time, the 75-inch model is on sale for under $1,000.

As of Sept. 18, you can get the LG 75-inch QNED90T Mini LED TV for just $996.99 at Amazon. That's $100 in savings off its latest list price and marks its lowest price on record.

"LG’s QNED90T is a worthwhile flagship LED TV with fantastic color and contrast, making for an excellent picture. It’s one of the best-looking non-OLED TVs we’ve tested this year," our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) wrote in their review. They mentioned that it does lack some features, like hands-free voice control and an ATSC 3.0 tuner, which makes it feel under-equipped for the price. However, since its release in 2024, the list price has actually dropped significantly, making it a more well-rounded package.

Other noteworthy features include a native refresh rate of 120Hz, support for variable refresh rate (VRR) and AMD FreeSync, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and Filmmaker mode. Ultimately, most gamers, movie lovers, and sports fans alike will be pleased.

If you're looking to upgrade your big screen for under $1,000, the LG 75-inch QNED90T Mini LED TV is a solid pick.

The new iPhones will be released on Friday, but select early reviewers are already testing them, and CNN Underscored has identified a "rare" camera glitch. (Mashable's reviews are still in progress and coming soon.) In a review of the new ultra-thin iPhone Air, CNN Underscored reported that glitches occurred while taking photos at a concert with both the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro Max cameras.

"I also noticed an odd imaging problem at this concert, where one out of every 10 or so photos taken on the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro Max have small blacked-out portions, including boxes and parts of white squiggles from the big LED board behind the band," reads the review. Pictures from the review show black boxes appearing in multiple photographs from a concert.

SEE ALSO: The first iPhone 17 Pro Max reviews are in: What the early testers are saying

Apple acknowledged the camera glitch in a statement to CNN Underscored, saying that it can occur in rare cases "when an LED light display is extremely bright and shining directly into the camera." In addition, Apple told CNN Underscored that the problem will be solved in an upcoming software update.

Apple didn't provide any information on the timing of the promised software update, so if you're planning on ordering the new iPhones, use caution when taking photographs around large LED displays and lights. That's good advice for any phone, as LED lights and lasers generally don't play well with camera sensors.

Despite this small camera problem, most early iPhone reviews have praised the new 17 series phones for their cameras, particularly the new Center Stage selfie camera.

Scammers constantly change and adapt tactics. When E-Z Pass toll scams became a trending topic, scammers started sending DMV and speeding ticket collection texts instead. The latest ploy: sending scam texts from job services like Indeed, offering jobs and quick cash.

In June, we reported that searches for the term “indeed scam texts” increased 550 percent in the past 12 months, with a sharp spike beginning around May 11, according to Google Trends data. More recently, searches related to this scam are on the rise again, beginning around Aug. 24 and continuing to the present date. (One Mashable editor recently received two of these scam texts in 48 hours.) This time, scammers appear to be taking advantage of a real problem — the weak job market in the United States.

For job seekers, the situation is bleak. A Reuters Ipsos poll reveals that 71 percent of respondents are worried that AI will lead to job losses. Yahoo Finance recently reported that unemployment is at the highest level since October 2021, and in June, the U.S. recorded "the first monthly net job loss since December 2020." It's in this environment that scammers are sending texts promising jobs and quick cash.

To be abundantly clear: These Indeed texts are scams, and you should not respond, click any links, or call or message any phone numbers included in the text. The scammers have nothing to do with Indeed itself, a popular online job search platform, and the company has an FAQ for people with questions about Indeed text scams.

What is the scam and how to spot it?

Typically speaking, the scams have surfaced as texts. The sender poses as someone with the career service Indeed and offers the receiver a job or asks for personal info. Here's an example text of the scam received by an editor at Mashable. (We've redacted the sender's info, but it was from a sketchy email address with a relatively generic name.)

Credit: Screenshot: Mashable

Remember: the folks at Indeed will almost certainly not be randomly offering you a job over text, even if you've recently applied for a job there. These scams have become prevalent enough, however, that Indeed has an entire page devoted to them on its site. In general, Indeed notes that folks may pose as an Indeed employee or a potential employer. Indeed also warns users that the scammers often create a false sense of urgency (e.g. claiming your account may be deleted), ask for personal credentials, or ask you to click a link or communicate via a non-Indeed channel. Some of these scams have asked folks to contact a number via WhatsApp or Telegram, which is also a red flag, since those platforms are harder to trace.

To be clear: Indeed will not contact you in this manner, and all potential employers should be communicating through Indeed, unless you give them your phone number. It's worth noting that the Indeed scam isn't the only job offer scam out there. Look around online and you'll see other apparent examples that are very similar in nature.

These types of job offer scams are particularly insidious because they take advantage of people who may be struggling financially. A job offer promising quick cash for product testing or data entry is very tempting, yet it can leave the victim even worse off.

In general, to spot these scams, take a beat and look at the message. They're often from a very sketchy source, either a random phone number or email address. It has that in common with other SMS scams, like the super-common, fake E-ZPass texts. The messages often promise a job for no reason, which, frankly, is too good to be true — another hallmark of scams.

What to do if you get the scam Indeed text

First and foremost, do not click any links or communicate with the scammers. They're looking to steal your info or trick you into sending money, and clicking links is the easiest way to do so. You should simply delete the text and report it as junk. Indeed also recommends blocking the number and reporting the issue with the Federal Trade Commission.

Overall, these scams are preying on folks' need for a job. And it makes sense that you'd hand over personal info to a potential employer. But be warned: the Indeed job offer texts, and others like it, are scams.

After that incendiary Season 2 finale, Debora Cahn's The Diplomat is back for another round of international plotting and simmering sexual tension, with a brand-new trailer out today.

Last season ended with a big ol' bombshell involving U.S. Vice President Grace Penn (Allison Janney), who landed one hell of a promotion with the sudden death of President William Rayburn (Michael McKean). With Penn now in the top job in Season 3, U.S. ambassador Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) knows too much about the new leader, and her husband Hal (Rufus Sewell) was on the phone with the former president when he died — so all eyes will be on the Wylers.

As Kate and Hal figure out what to do with their red hot information and lukewarm marriage, tensions between the U.S. and UK rise, the new First Gentlemen (Bradley Whitford) arrives, UK Foreign Secretary Austin Dennison (David Gyasi) continues to be Kate's very close ally, and Kate's got one foot in the White House and the other in political quicksand.

Everyone kiss!

The Diplomat Season 3 is streaming Oct. 16 on Netflix.

SAVE $70: As of Sept. 18, the Beats Studio Buds are on sale for just $79.95 at Amazon in black and red. That's a 47% drop from their list price of $149.95.

To say the wireless earbud market is oversaturated would be a massive understatement. If you want something that'll blow you away, go with the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds — but they'll trouble your wallet. If you want something cheap, Anker Soundcore P20is are your best bet. But if you want a pair that will actually sound good, cancel noise around you, and be friendly for your budget, the Beats Studio Buds are a great pick — particularly when they're on sale.

As of Sept. 18, you can pick up the Beats Studio Buds in black or red for only $79.95 at Amazon. That's nearly a 50% discount from their usual list price of $149.95 and only about $8 shy of their best price on record.

Mashable tech reporter Alex Perry called the Beats Studio Buds "Apple's new go-to entry-level earbuds," when they first came out in 2021. They've since been replaced by the upgraded Studio Buds+, but you can still find them on shelves, meaning they're still relevant in 2025. They're equipped with impressive bass, decent active noise cancellation, transparency mode, spatial audio, and a 24-hour battery life with the included charging case. They're also device agnostic and come with a variety of ear tip sizes for comfort.

Sure, they may not be the most impressive earbuds on the market anymore, but they still have a lot to offer. And for the current price — under $80 — you'll be hard-pressed to find a better option.

Samsung released its best foldable yet in the Galaxy Z Fold 7 earlier this year, but it might try to outdo itself before the year is over.

A couple of different reports indicate that Samsung's oft-rumored "Tri-Fold" phone (which would be an extra-large foldable that has two creases instead of just one) is set to launch this year. For starters, Korean tech outlets like Newspim reported a couple of weeks ago that Samsung will hold a launch event in its home country for the phone at the end of September. This event would also reportedly feature information on Samsung's Project Moohan XR headset, as well as a previously unannounced pair of smart glasses. Samsung held an Unpacked event in July that was suspiciously silent on both Moohan and the Tri-Fold.

SEE ALSO: iPhone 17 Pro Max vs. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

If true, that would cover the device's launch plans in the Asian market. But what about the U.S.? According to a CNN report published Thursday morning, Samsung is still working out which markets will get the Tri-Fold at launch, but a U.S. release is "part of those discussions," per the report. If Samsung were to launch the phone simultaneously in Asia and the west, it would be a slight departure from some of its previous product launches, which occurred in Asia first and the west later.

Regardless of if (or when) this phone comes stateside, expect it to be very expensive, if nothing else.

Gaming is one of the best winter hobbies. It provides an enjoyable activity that's both indoors and quite rewarding. We've seen some great games drop in 2025 and if your plan for the next few months is to catch up on missed titles, you might want to take a good look at this deal from Amazon.

As of Sept. 18, the 55-inch Samsung Odyssey Arc curved gaming monitor is on sale for $1,499.99 at Amazon, marked down from the list price of $2,699.99. That's a major 44% discount that shaves $1,200 off the normal price. That makes it the lowest we've seen at Amazon. However, there's something to consider before buying.

Today's Amazon deal comes from a third-party seller, Beach Camera. Mashable doesn't usually recommend buying from third-party sellers but since this is a seriously epic deal and Beach Camera has overall positive reviews, we're a lot less concerned about going for it with this sale.

Samsung makes seriously impressive gaming monitors and the Odyssey Arc has some special features. For starters, this 55-inch model is curved which legitimately makes games feel like a whole new world. Today's sale monitor can also swivel on its stand to cockpit mode, making certain games look more real than ever thanks to the 1000R curvature with quantum mini-LED lighting.

The Odyssey Arc can also enter a four-input multi-view mode that allows you to connect and see all four inputs at once. That means you can even hook up a console to play while taking part in PC gaming at the same time. Of course, you're getting nice gaming specs on the Samsung Odyssey Arc like a 165Hz refresh rate, one millisecond GtG, and a matte display that won't cause distracting reflections.

While it's down to a record-low price at Amazon, upgrade your winter gaming station with the 55-inch Samsung Odyssey Arc. You'll be saving a massive $1,200 which you can dedicate to other winter hobbies or new games to play on the impressive monitor.

UK-based tech company Nothing is upgrading its flagship earbuds. Now available, the Ear (3) are an upgraded version of the Ear (2). Nothing teased all the features coming to the Ear (3), but we now have the full specs on the buds. They're available for purchase from Amazon.

The biggest development to come to the Nothing Ear (3) is the Super Mic, which is housed not in the buds, but in the charging case. The Super Mic is a dual-microphone system that filters ambient sound, cutting out surrounding noise to focus on your voice. And when you're not taking calls, you can record your voice with the Super Mic by pressing the 'Talk' button on the case — you're about to be sending the most crisp voice notes.

The earbuds themselves feature three directional microphones as well as a bone conductive Voice Pick-up Unit. Usually bone conduction is a feature primarily seen in open earbuds, but here they work to pick up vibrations from the jaw and ear canal to pick up your voice when taking calls.

The Ear (3) have Adaptive Noise Cancellation and 12mm dynamic driver mics. They now have 10 hours of battery life, with up to 38 hours of playback with the charging case.

Nothing has a signature transparent design in all of its products, and that remains true for the Ear (3). The earbuds take on an ultra-slim design and feature 100 percent anodised recycled aluminum on the case. This design iteration has smooth curves for better ergonomics as well as the thinnest earbud antenna, measuring the industry limit of .35 mm.

On the new design of the Ear (3), Nothing's Design Director, Adam Bates, said: “With Ear (3), we've evolved our design language by focusing on the fundamentals: the engineering and the experience, resulting in an elevated product that looks and feels different, and functions in ways that are completely new to the industry. The approach to materials and processes, notably the use of anodised aluminum for the case structure and the earbud antenna, have enabled a product which is undoubtedly new, yet unmistakably Nothing."

The Ear (3) are now available for purchase for $179 via Amazon.
