Forget the CR-V Hybrid—this 3-row SUV gives you more for the same money

How-To Geek - Tue, 05/26/2026 - 20:00

Over the last five years, hybrid SUVs in the U.S. have gone from a niche option to something you see everywhere on the road. Automakers have flooded the market with new models, turning what used to be a small corner of the industry into a full-blown mainstream segment.

Motorola phones are reportedly injecting affiliate codes into the Amazon app

Mashable - Tue, 05/26/2026 - 19:34

UPDATE: May. 27, 2026, 11:22 a.m. Since we first published this story, Motorola confirmed it fixed the issue and provided a statement to Mashable. We've udpated this piece to include the statement.

A few years ago, a massive affiliate code hijacking scheme rocked the internet. YouTubers and other influencers discovered that PayPal's money-saving Chrome extension, Honey, was sneakily inserting its own e-commerce affiliate codes — sometimes even replacing creators' affiliate codes — in order to take credit for the sale and profit from the commission. 

The whole ordeal resulted in lawsuits and even Google getting involved, changing its Chrome extensions policy and how the company handles affiliate links.

Now, a Reddit user and 9to5Google have uncovered yet another over-the-top instance of affiliate hijacking that's reportedly affecting Motorola smartphone users.

Over the weekend, a Reddit user noticed that their Motorola Razr Ultra was behaving oddly when trying to shop on Amazon. 

"When I tried to open the Amazon app, it would instead open the browser and send me to some sketchy looking url, which then redirects to amazon.com with an affiliate code," Reddit user u/Trypocopris said.

The user found that his device was making requests to "devicenative.com," a service that claims to offer "personalized, on-device mobile ad serving without sharing user data."

9to5Google was able to replicate the issue. The outlet found the issue on a Razr Fold with the latest Smart Feed v2.03.0070. However, 9to5Google was unable to replicate the behavior on the latest Razr running the older Smart Feed v2.03.0056. While some Motorola phones on the latest version would not replicate the issue, 9to5Google believes the issue is related to Smart Feed v2.03.0070.

The affiliate hijacking only appears to occur when a user opens the Amazon app from the app drawer. Opening Amazon from the home screen does not cause the issue. (Mashable was also redirected when opening the Amazon shopping app from the Smart Feed, but not when opening the app from the home screen.) When selecting Amazon from the app drawer, the user's mobile web browser briefly opens up before quickly directing the user to the Amazon app.

Interestingly, 9to5Google found that users are briefly redirected to a website containing the term “kira-abboud,” an apparent reference to fashion influencer @kirasfashionfinds. However, as the outlet discovered, neither this URL nor the Amazon affiliate code being injected matches anything publicly shared by the influencer herself. 

So, did a bad actor find a way to inject their affiliate code into certain Motorola smartphones? Did a rogue employee insert their own? Mashable reached out for comment, and we'll update this story if they provide more information.

However, users can stop the behavior by turning the Smart Feed feature off. Simply go to Settings, followed by Apps, then search for Smart Feed and choose the Disable option. 9to5Google reports that doing this immediately stopped the redirect.

A Motorola spokesperson sent the following statement to Mashable:

Motorola and Device Native jointly developed an app search and suggestion experience for the Moto App Launcher, designed to help users quickly find and launch apps they already have installed on their devices.

Recently, Motorola acted quickly to resolve an issue that was identified, which caused some users in the U.S. launching the Amazon Shopping app to be routed through a web tracking link before opening the app. This behavior was unintended and resulted in an inconsistent user experience.

Upon identifying the issue, we promptly corrected the routing configuration. Users can now expect all installed apps to launch directly as intended.

Motorola takes user experience, privacy, and platform integrity seriously and will continue to closely monitor the system to ensure expected behavior across devices.

We are committed to responsible disclosure, and to transparent, collaborative engagement with researchers to identify and address potential issues swiftly.

Stop rebooting your router manually, set it and forget it instead

How-To Geek - Tue, 05/26/2026 - 19:25

Most of us rarely think about routers until they stop working, and that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Routers are designed to quietly handle your internet traffic 24/7 for months without a single break. However, just because they can do that, it doesn't mean that they should. Like many other devices, they can benefit from a simple restart, and fortunately, it's easy to set up an automatic schedule that can do just that.

Woot has refurbished Kindle Paperwhites on sale for $69.99. But theres a catch.

Mashable - Tue, 05/26/2026 - 19:17

GET A KINDLE PAPERWHITE FOR UNDER $70: Woot has refurbished scratch and dent Kindle Paperwhite e-readers (11th Gen, 32GB) on sale for $69.99. These models have been tested to be fully functional but could have physical imperfections like scratches or dings.

  Get Deal

If you're not one for needing the very latest model of tech, buying a previous generation tends to come with a big savings. Take that one step further and buy a used model of a previous generation and you're in a major discount. If you've been eyeing a Kindle Paperwhite but don't feel like dishing out full price, check out this limited-time offer.

As of May 26, Woot is selling refurbished scratch and dent Kindle Paperwhite e-readers (11th Gen, 32GB) for $69.99. These models have been tested to be fully functional but could have physical imperfections like scratches or dings. A new Kindle Paperwhite (12th Gen, 16GB) costs $159.

I love to score a bargain price, which is why I don't shy away from buying used tech, especially when it's certified refurbished from Amazon. I treated myself to a scratch and dent used Kindle Paperwhite from Woot last spring, and I was shocked at what showed up. I expected plenty of damage, but instead, I got a Kindle with one minor scratch on the back. Otherwise, it's in perfect shape.

Of course, buying a scratch and dent Kindle is playing Roulette. Some might have significant wear and tear, but they're all certified by Amazon to be in full working condition, but perhaps with some blemishes. For me, taking the chance on some physical issues was well worth the savings. It certainly paid of in my case since my Kindle is nearly perfect.

This sale price applies to the 11th Gen model which launched in 2021. Amazon is currently selling the 12th Gen. While this is an older model, it comes with massive storage space — a whole 32GB. The current Kindle Paperwhite doesn't even have the option to get this much storage. You'd have to upgrade to the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition to get 32GB which sells for $199.99.

Keep in mind that you probably don't have much time to ponder if you're willing to take a chance on a scratch and dent model. These Kindle sales at Woot tend to vanish quickly. There's only one color and storage combo remaining, so this deal will likely be gone before the end of the work day.

If you're like me and prioritize a great deal over a perfect product, hop on this $69.99 Woot deal and get yourself a Kindle Paperwhite for the summer.

Our first warm weather long weekend has come and gone, but most Memorial Day sales are sticking around for an extra day or two.

From the big retailers like Amazon and Best Buy to internet favorite brands like Ruggable, Dyson, and KitchenAid, we've found all of the best Memorial Day deals still live as of Tuesday, May 26. While many sales don't disclose a specific end date, we wouldn't be surprised if Tuesday is the last day. So, use your post-holiday downtime to grab some summer staples on sale — it's likely that we won't see prices like this again until Prime Day in June.

What says start of the summer better than slushies on demand? When Mashable's Leah Stodart reviewed the Ninja Slushi, she pointed out the merits of the Slushi over a regular blender: no ice is required, and it keeps drinks frozen while in its cooling cylinder. From cola slushies to frosé, this might just be the ultimate summer drink machine. It has some downsides (sugar-free beverages are a no-go), but if you're a frozen drink enthusiast, this deal is worth a closer look.

Best Buy and Amazon have been racing to match prices on this Fire TV. Best Buy was initially $75 cheaper than Amazon, so Amazon dropped its sale price to keep pace. But that's only a piece of the picture, demonstrating just how good this deal is. Our resident TV expert, Leah Stodart, pointed out that this $264.99 price point is so good that it's less than the sale price of the 43-inch version of Amazon's most basic Ember 4K Fire TV. In other words, if you're looking to score a solid deal on a smart TV this Memorial Day, this could be the one for you.

Anthropics Claude Mythos, or a model like it, to get public release

Mashable - Tue, 05/26/2026 - 18:42

Anthropic has announced plans to eventually release a public version of Mythos, its AI model with advanced cybersecurity capabilities. First, the AI company needs to develop adequate safeguards, which, by its own admission, don't yet exist.

The company revealed in an update to Project Glasswing, its limited-access security program, that it intends to expand access to U.S. and allied governments before pursuing a broader public release of "Mythos-class models" in the "near future."

As reported by The Register, Anthropic was candid about the timeline's uncertainty, stating that no company, including itself, has built safeguards sufficient to prevent the model from being misused. Even so, Anthropic said in a related blog post that it believes "Mythos-level models will become widely available in the next 6-12 months."

Are you an Apple superfan? Enter Mashable’s Big Guessing Game to win prizes.

SEE ALSO: Anthropic's Mythos is already finding security flaws in Apple software

Claude Mythos was initially revealed in April. Anthropic said that the model succeeded at generating working exploits 72.4 percent of the time during testing — compared to just above zero percent for Claude Opus 4.6. In those reports, Anthropic researchers with no formal security training reportedly asked Mythos to hunt for vulnerabilities overnight and woke up to complete, functional exploits.

Since then, the model has scanned over a thousand open-source projects and identified more than 23,000 flaws, including more than 6,000 rated high or critical severity. Among them was a vulnerability in the wolfSSL cryptography library, used by billions of devices, that would have allowed attackers to forge certificates and impersonate legitimate websites. It has since been patched.

As AI tools get better at finding exploits, they've sparked a zero-day bug discovery crisis, with some bug bounty programs shutting down entirely. Open-source maintainers have reportedly asked Anthropic to slow its disclosure rate, saying the flood of bug reports exceeds their capacity to address them.

Anthropic's suggested solution to the capacity crunch is, of course, more AI. The Claude Mythos system card predicts that AI tools will ultimately benefit cybersecurity defenders, though Anthropic also notes that hackers may have an advantage for the time being.

Samsungs 85-inch Q7F QLED 4K TV is under $900 for the first time ever

Mashable - Tue, 05/26/2026 - 18:41

SAVE $600: As of May 26, the Samsung 85-inch Q7F QLED 4K TV is on sale at Amazon for only $899.99 instead of its usual $1,499.99 list price. That's 40% off and its best price ever.

$1,299.99 Save $400   Get Deal

Upgrading your TV doesn't have to cost you a fortune, especially if you opt for last year's models. The 2025 Samsung Q7F TV might fall into budget-friendly territory, but it doesn't skimp on features. And it's currently the cheapest it's ever been for the 85-inch option.

As of May 26, the Samsung 85-inch Q7F QLED 4K TV is just $899.99 at Amazon. That's $600 or 40% off its list price of $1,499.99 (as seen on Samsung's own website). Not only is that the lowest price on record, but it's beating Best Buy and Samsung's sale price by $100.

The Q7F is not the fanciest QLED TV in Samsung's lineup, but it's still a QLED TV, which means its 85-inch display is packed with millions of quantum dots to offer a more vibrant range of colors and brightness. It pairs that with a Q4 AI processor that upscales your content, as well as integrated sensors that monitor ambient sound and auto-adjust for an optimal listening experience. In other words, it looks and sounds more expensive than it is.

The 120Hz refresh rate is just OK, but the TV does come with a free month of Xbox Game Pass. So, we'd recommend it for casual gamers just getting their feet wet.

If you just want a low-cost TV from a premium brand that packs a brilliant, large screen for streaming, the Samsung Q7F is one of the best budget options out there. And at less than $900, it's going to be a hard deal to beat.

It's typical to see spring price drops on 2025 TV models once the 2026 models hit the shelves. But to see a brand-new 2026 TV on sale for 40% off is a bit more surprising. Nevertheless, Hisense is delivering the best TV deal of the season.

As of May 26, the Hisense 75-inch U7 Mini LED ULED 4K TV from 2026 is down to just $1,198.99 at Amazon. That's a full 40% or $801 off its list price and its best price since its debut last month, even beating its Memorial Day Weekend discount by a dollar.

The 2026 U7 is an iterative upgrade from last year's model. It features an improved anti-glare coating to keep your picture crisp and clear despite overhead lights or the afternoon sun blaring in, as well as an enhanced AI processor that can analyze scenes in real time and make auto-adjustments to color, contrast, and detail. Otherwise, it still offers the same 165Hz refresh rate, 2.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos sound, up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness, and the Google TV with Gemini interface.

Hisense says the U7 delivers "Mini LED performance typically reserved for higher price tiers," and we can certainly get behind that notion. Hisense is one of our favorite budget TV brands for its wallet-friendly prices that don't skimp on quality. A 75-inch Mini LED model with premium features for under $1,200 is a pretty epic deal whichever way you slice it.

Call it planned obsolescence. Call it the need for greed. But your Android phone will eventually stop being functional and useful, even if there's nothing physically wrong with it. Every Android phone has an expiration date, and once you cross it, your device becomes less secure, less compatible, and harder to trust with important data.
