The Amazon Big Spring Sale is officially over. Now, we wait until Prime Day in June or July for the next round of massive discounts. But in the meantime, Amazon has left a few items sitting at the Big Spring Sale price. That's great news if you're looking for a powerful robot vacuum and mop.

As of April 2, the Mova Z60 Ultra Roller Complete robot vacuum and mop is on sale for $999 at Amazon, down from the list price of $1,499. That's a 33% discount that shaves $500 off the normal price. It also matches the record low at Amazon.

A bunch of robot vacuums can now mop your floors, but not all of them can do it well. The Mova Z60 Ultra Roller Complete focuses on getting both vacuuming and mopping done right. The vacuum uses 28,000Pa suction power to clean all crumbs, dirt, and dust from the floors. Plus, the brush is designed to never tangle.

The mopping functions include hot water mopping and hot-air drying of the mop pads. Plus, Mova uses an AutoShield function to ensure no drips from the mop land on the carpet. This is also an ideal model if your home has higher thresholds, since the Mova Z60 Ultra Roller Complete can get over obstacles as tall as 3.15 inches.

Pet owners are also in great shape with this model since Mova incorporated two compartments for a cleaning solution. One is designed for standard cleaning while the other is optimized for removing pet odors. The vacuum's cleaning algorithm will decide which cleaning solution to use on which areas.

Instead of staring at a never-ending list of chores, grab the Mova Z60 Ultra Roller Complete while it's on sale for under $1,000. You won't have to think about vacuuming or mopping with this powerful model.

Action is a genre that never goes out of style. The 1970s action movies relied on grit and realism, while the 1980s ushered in the era of muscular lone wolves and antiheroes. The 1990s leaned more into sci-fi and spectacle, and the 2000s turned to superheroes. The genre continues to evolve, even though the predominant themes have remained the same.

Both of these models are designed to make creating personalized drinks as easy as touching a button. There's no steep learning curve involved. You can even store the recipes you love based on strength, length, and temperature, making your morning routine a breeze. The KF6 machine allows you to choose from 15 recipe options like Espresso, Americano, Latte, Cappuccino and more, while the KF8 machine ups the options to over 40. There's even several user profiles (four for the KF6, six for the KF8), so each member of the family can have their own unique experience.

Both models offer automatic milk frothing and cleaning, but the KF8 model takes things up a notch with its own included milk container, dual milk delivery, and options for plant-based milk. Either option you choose lets you enjoy unlimited lattes, cappuccinos, and espresso shots without stepping foot in a Starbucks again.

In season 1 of Community, there's a scene where Donald Glover's Troy Barnes learns a valuable lesson while eating a giant cookie. The more Troy eats the cookie, the worse he feels. Troy pondered, "How can something that's delicious make me sick?" It's at this exact moment that the light goes off in his head. "Unless too much of a good thing ... is actually a bad thing," Troy said. Unfortunately, I'm not eating a cookie right now. However, the cookie represents my relationship with streaming, in particular, the binge model.

OpenAI announced on social media today that it's launching a voice-first ChatGPT experience in CarPlay, the popular Apple dashboard that many drivers use in their car's infotainment system.

That means drivers with Apple CarPlay and supported iPhone models can now talk to ChatGPT Voice as they drive, bringing the AI chatbot on the road.

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

iPhone users will need to be running iOS 26.4 to activate the hands-free feature.

How to use ChatGPT Voice in Apple CarPlay Total Time

• 1-2 minutes

What You Need

• iPhone running iOS 26.4+ and a vehicle with Apple CarPlay

Step 1: Update your iPhone to iOS 26.4

Step 2: Update the ChatGPT app to the latest version available in the App Store.

Step 3: Connect your iPhone to Apple CarPlay

Step 4: Open ChatGPT and begin chatting

After connecting your iPhone to CarPlay, you can then open the ChatGPT app and start a new voice conversation or continue an existing chat.

However, the new ChatGPT Voice experience in CarPlay does have some notable limitations. Crucially, it can't help you with navigation or act agentically.

According to an OpenAI help page, "It cannot access maps, vehicle information, or live location," nor can it "control your car or affect other apps (for example, Maps or messaging apps like Mail or Slack)."

OpenAI also includes a safety warning for drivers on its help page. "Only use your mobile device when allowed by law and when conditions permit safe use. Set up the app before driving, rely on hands-free, voice-first features whenever possible, and avoid interacting with your device while the vehicle is in motion."

Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April 2025 filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.

Nissan revealed the next phase of its U.S. hybrid and electrification strategy during the 2026 New York International Auto Show, debuting the 2027 Rogue Hybrid e-POWER. With the e-POWER variant, Nissan will introduce a unique series-hybrid powertrain into its North American lineup, a technology that sets it apart from the parallel-hybrid systems used by its primary competitors.

Orion is in space, the Artemis II crew will head to the moon, and you can follow their journey without leaving Earth.

NASA's Artemis Real-time Orbit Website, or AROW, allows the public to track the moonship. During the roughly 10-day test flight, anyone with a phone or computer can see how far the crew — Commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, and mission specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen — are from Earth.

The tracker turns a complex deep space mission into something easier to understand at a glance. With data from sensors on the spacecraft, AROW takes information already flowing to mission control in Houston and interprets it into simple visuals for the layperson. Instead of trying to picture where the crew might be, you can actually see their path, distances, and major milestones as they happen.

SEE ALSO: Artemis 2 mission timeline: An itinerary for the historic 10-day flight

People can download the NASA app or go to the website to give the tracker a spin. 

AROW began updating about a minute after liftoff on Wednesday, April 1, and will keep feeding live information until Orion dives back into Earth's atmosphere for a splashdown at the end of the mission. Online, users can see where the spacecraft sits in space and trace its figure-eight route.

NASA designed the website to show more than a dot on a map. It highlights key moments in the mission and points out features on the moon, including landing sites from the Apollo program. That lets viewers connect what they’re seeing today through Artemis — named after Apollo's twin sister in Greek mythology — with the first era of human exploration on the lunar surface.

The NASA app includes similar features, plus an augmented reality tracker. After calibration, the app uses phone sensors to tell you how to move your device so on‑screen markers line up with where Orion is relative to your position on Earth. 

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

For people who love to pore through the numbers, AROW also shares precise data describing Orion's location and motion.

Since launch, the crew has been in a high-Earth orbit, allowing them time to check out the systems aboard the spacecraft before pushing into a moon-bound trajectory.

Artemis II is NASA's first crewed mission in the Artemis campaign and a major step toward landing on the moon and learning how to live there. By sending astronauts around the moon and bringing them home safely, NASA is attempting to prove the systems needed for future lunar landings — and, perhaps down the road, the first human mission to Mars.

You might hop into your car to escape work, but now you can act like you're productive while on the road. Google Meet calls are now available through Apple CarPlay on iPhones connected to supporting vehicles.

You might not know this, but AirDrop isn't exclusive to Apple devices.

So, if you've grown tired of hearing your Apple friends say, "Just AirDrop it to me," there may be a solution.

The over-the-air file sharing feature is synonymous with iPhones (as well as iPads and Mac devices), but Google recently made it available on select Pixel devices, too. All you need to do is tap the Quick Share button on the content you want to send to a nearby Apple device, and as long as their AirDrop settings are open for business, you'll be able to AirDrop the photo or document to them.

However, not all Pixel phones support AirDrop.

SEE ALSO: iPhone 18 Pro will be missing a popular color, leaker says Every Pixel phone that can use AirDrop

Here is the full list of every Pixel phone that can AirDrop content with Apple devices:

• Pixel 9

• Pixel 9 Pro

• Pixel 9 Pro XL

• Pixel 9 Pro Fold

• Pixel 10

• Pixel 10 Pro

• Pixel 10 Pro XL

• Pixel 10 Pro Fold

• Pixel 10a

In other words, it's only compatible with the Pixel 9 and Pixel 10 families. There is one notable exception, however: The Pixel 9a does not support AirDrop via Quick Share. Anyone with Google's mid-range Pixel 9 device will need to upgrade to take advantage of this feature.

And hopefully Google can keep this useful feature around for future Pixel releases, too.

Lincoln has been Ford’s luxury wing for more than a century, turning out some truly legendary cars along the way. Think of the early ’60s Continental, the sleek Zephyr, or the old-school Town Car that ruled the ’90s.

Routers are easily forgotten, placed once and only remembered when they stop working. In doing this, a lot of people overlook the antennas, often leaving them pointing in random directions or arranged on a whim. It's a waste: you need to arrange them properly to maximize your network efficiency.

Samsung's 2026 OLED and The Frame Pro TVs are now available a few months after their CES debut, and the pricing may be more reasonable than you think. There are some missing offerings at this stage, however.

For the first time in 50 years, human beings are more than 1,000 miles away from Earth as the historic Artemis II mission continues.

The four astronauts aboard NASA’s Orion spacecraft — Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Koch, and Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen — are currently circling the Earth and preparing for a potential translunar injection later today.

As they look toward the moon, NASA also shared a picture looking back at the Earth, which appears as a crescent in the black of space.

The picture shared by NASA is a screenshot from the Orion livestream, available via YouTube. It shows part of the Orion spacecraft as it travels around the Earth.

The picture calls to mind another iconic NASA photograph, known as "Earthrise."

Taken by Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders on Dec. 24, 1968, the famous "Earthrise" photograph depicts the Earth rising above the ghostly lunar horizon.

"Earthrise" is one of the most famous space photographs ever taken. Apollo 8 astronauts were the first to orbit the moon, and thus the first-ever humans to witness Earthrise in person. And like the Apollo 8 astronauts before them, the crew of Orion is aiming for a lunar orbit.

SEE ALSO: What 'home' will look like for the Artemis 2 crew headed to the moon

Artemis II astronauts will not set foot on the moon during the planned 10-day lunar mission. However, they could travel further away from home than any human being in history, reaching a distance of 248,700 miles, breaking a record set by Apollo 13 astronauts in 1970.

For now, the four-person Orion crew is still in orbit around the Earth, where they reached a maximum height of 46,000 miles. Later today, mission control will decide whether the historic lunar mission is a go or no-go. Should the mission proceed, Orion will leave Earth's orbit and head toward the moon.

If Orion forges ahead, they're scheduled to slingshot around the moon on April 6 before returning to Earth on April 10 or 11.

The Artemis II mission is part of a larger plan to establish a crewed lunar base, and potentially even a Martian base in the future.

You can track the progress of the Orion crew via the NASA website or app.
