Qi2 was the first major update to the ubiquitous wireless charging standard in 15 years, yet it hasn’t been the huge win everyone expected. The Wireless Power Consortium is hoping to change that with another upgrade: Qi2 25W.

Since adding a Nintendo Switch 2 to my existing handheld collection—with a handheld PC in the mix—it means that many games are available on both devices. Which means that I need to choose where I'm going to buy that title.

Winter will be here before we know it, and we'll soon be shopping Black Friday sales the day after Thanksgiving. Once that rolls around, the bright hues of blooming flowers that we see outside right now will be long gone. But Legos offer a great way to keep things in bloom year-round. The Lego Icons Tiny Plants and Flowers set keeps evergreen blooms fresh inside, and this set includes nine potted plants. Keep them all together or spread them out on bookshelves.

While it's 20% off, consider buying a set for yourself and a set for a friend as a holiday gift. This set could also make for great dorm room decor for anyone who's heading off to college soon.

If you've ever been caught in a power outage or just wished for a way to power your gear on a camping trip, this deal on an impressive, portable power station is for you.

As of July 23, the Anker Solix C1000 Portable Power Station is on sale at Amazon for just $469. That’s $330 off and a 41% drop from its regular list price of $799 — but as a limited-time deal, it won't last long.

The Anker Solix C1000 can go from empty to a full charge in just 58 minutes from a wall outlet. It’s also powerful enough for demanding electronics, with a standard 1800W output that can be boosted to 2400W thanks to its SurgePad feature. That means it can handle things like coffee makers and microwaves without issue.

Another big plus is the battery itself. Anker uses a LiFePO4 battery, which is designed for a 10-year lifespan and can handle 3,000 charge cycles (so this isn't something you'll need to replace in a year or two). You can also keep tabs on everything through the Anker app, which lets you monitor power stats in real-time.

I am the queen of letting my phone die while traveling. On a recent trip to New York, after I'd arrived in the city mid-afternoon with a phone already on low battery mode, I realized enough is enough — I needed a travel charger. My pick? The Anker 622 magnetic battery. And did I mention it's on sale right now?

The Anker 622 magnetic battery is a MagSafe charger that clings to phones and powers them up. As of July 23, it's on sale at Amazon for $32.29, down from $47.99. That save you $15.70 for 33% off.

What appealed to me about the Anker 622 wireless charger is the fact that it's cord-free. I wanted a portable charger that I could attach to my phone and keep in my bag while on the go, and the Anker 622 is just that, attaching to my phone inconspicuously while juicing it up. In terms of power banks, this does work more slowly than others I've tried, but it's ideal if you want something super compact.

The 622 holds a little over one charge in the device and can be recharged through a USB-C port. The only issue I've ever run into with the 622 is that it gets pretty warm as it charges. This was never an issue until I went to use it in blazing Dallas heat, and the charger and phone got so overheated it had to pause charging. Otherwise, the 622 is a super portable and easy-to-use charger for those on the go.

Grab the Anker 622 at Amazon now for just $32.29 and save $15.70.

iOS 26 may be just around the corner, but Apple is already shifting attention to iOS 27 — and its long-rumored foldable iPhone.

According to Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter, Apple is prioritizing iOS 27 development with a focus on features tailored to the upcoming foldable device, which is reportedly set to debut next year. Despite the shift in priorities, Gurman says users shouldn’t worry about a lack of user interface innovation in iOS 27.

The foldable iPhone is expected to be a high-end product with a rumored $2,000 price tag, according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. It will reportedly skip Face ID in favor of Touch ID to save space and will feature a book-style fold, as opposed to Samsung’s flip-style design.

Gurman notes Apple’s design direction is influenced by preferences in the Chinese market, where book-style foldables are more popular.

Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) may be full of woe, but Wednesday fans should be full of joy, because Netflix has renewed the series for a third season. The announcement (made on a Wednesday, naturally) comes two weeks before Wednesday Season 2's Aug. 6 premiere, proving Netflix's confidence in the series.

In its first season, Wednesday cemented itself as a smash hit, becoming Netflix's most-streamed English language show of all time. Overall, it's Netflix's second-most streamed series of all time, behind Squid Game.

"It's been a dark delight to watch Wednesday cast her spell over audiences across the globe — one deadpan quip at a time," Wednesday creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar said in a press statement. "We're beyond thrilled she'll be returning to stalk the halls of Nevermore in Season 3. This time, she'll unearth more of the school’s sinister secrets — and descend even deeper into the Addams family crypt. Or, as Wednesday would say: 'Nothing brings a family together like a good exhumation.'"

In a statement, Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria added, "The undeniable impact of Wednesday resonated immediately with fans worldwide, driving it to the top of our charts as our most popular English language TV show, and sparking cultural trends. We are so proud of Al Gough, Miles Millar, Tim Burton, Jenna Ortega, and the entire Wednesday cast and crew for everything they've accomplished. On the heels of its highly anticipated Season 2 return, we are thrilled to renew the iconic series for a third and to deliver more of what the fans love."

The news of a third season of Wednesday is exciting, but what can viewers expect from Season 2? According to the upcoming season's trailer, Wednesday gets a premonition that her bestie Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers) will die — and that Wednesday herself is to blame. Can Wednesday save Enid before it's too late?

Season 2 also promises new guest stars, including Steve Buscemi as Nevermore's new principal, and Lady Gaga as legendary Nevermore teacher Rosaline Rotwood. Bring on the mayhem.

Wednesday Season 2 Part 1 premieres Aug. 6 on Netflix, with Part 2 premiering Sept. 3.

The Amazon-exclusive tablet launched in 2024 as a reboot of the 2020 tablet of the same name. It's essentially the same tablet, but with an upgraded Exynos processor and Android 14 operating system straight out of the box. We named its predecessor one of our favorite tablets for kids in 2023, and that holds true with the new and improved model. It features an expansive 10.4-inch display with an impressive 2000 x 1200 pixel resolution, weighs just over a pound, and can last for up to 14 hours per charge. It also gives you the ability to switch from kids mode to parents mode with a quick PIN.

While RAM is limited to just 4GB and the processor isn't going to wow you with its speed, it'll still tackle basic tasks with ease. Plus, it's the cheapest way for you to get Samsung's S Pen, making it a more compelling buy. For comparison’s sake, the Apple Pencil costs $79 on its own — you can get the S Pen and the S6 Lite tablet for just $209.99.

Updated on Thursday, July 24 at 3:40 p.m. ET — Well, it's now official: you can now sign up for the iOS 26 beta. Apple officially opened the beta program for the upcoming version of iOS, set to release this fall. You can read our original article about this topic below.

iOS 26 has the potential to be a pretty cool upgrade, complete with a Liquid Glass design, live translations, and updates to CarPlay and Messages, which we heard about in early June at WWDC 2025. It looks like we're finally about to get access to it.

Apple said iOS 26 public beta would be available in July, according to MacRumors, and Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman posted last week that it would likely be released around today — on Wednesday, July 23. And today, in his Power On newsletter, Gurman said that "iOS 26 should go into the public beta phase this coming week."

It makes sense that we'd get iOS 26 soon. After all, previous iOS upgrades were also released in late June or July — iOS 18 was released on July 15, iOS 17 was released on July 12, iOS 16 was released on July 11, iOS 15 was released on June 30, and iOS 14 was released on July 9, according to MacRumors.

MacRumors reported that the first public betas released at once will include the iOS 26 public beta and iPadOS 26, macOS 26, tvOS 26, watchOS 26, HomePod software 26, and the AirPods firmware update.

In order to access the update, you'll need to be a member of the Apple Beta Software Program. The program is free and anyone can become a member. Keep in mind, these features will be in beta — meaning they might be a bit buggy. As a member of the Apple Beta Software Program, users can provide feedback to Apple about those bugs.

As a reminder, iOS 26 isn't available for all iPhones. You'll need to have the iPhone SE (second generation and beyond only), the iPhone 11, Pro, and Pro Max, the iPhone 12, Mini, Pro, and Pro Max, the iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, and Pro Max, the iPhone 14, Plus, Pro, and Pro Max, the iPhone 15, Plus, Pro, and Pro Max, the iPhone 16, Plus, Pro, and Pro Max, or the iPhone 16e.

If you're a developer, these features are already available for you. As Mashable previously reported, Apple has a free tier of its Developer Program, which allows some users to access those beta features even earlier.

We found a deal we never thought we'd see on an advanced robot vacuum and mop.

As of July 23, the oh-so-expensive Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni robot vacuum and mop, which typically sells for $1,499.99, is available at Woot for just $229.99. That's $1,270 off for a whopping discount of 85% — and the lowest price we've ever tracked. This deal is only available for about a month or until it sells out, so you'll want to act fast.

When this robot vacuum first came out in September 2023, we were floored by its futuristic OMNI station that offers a completely automated, hands-free cleaning experience. After cleaning, the robot returns to the station to auto-empty its dustbin into a bag that holds up to 90 days of debris. The station then washes the mop pads with hot water (131 degrees Fahrenheit), dries them with hot air to prevent odors, and refills the robot’s onboard water tank.

The vacuum's square shape gives it an advantage in cleaning edges and corners, and its performance backs it up. It packs a powerful 8,000Pa of suction and features an extra-long rubber brush that’s ideal for picking up pet hair and crumbs. It uses a combination of dual-laser LiDAR and AI-powered learning to avoid obstacles. Plus, when the robot senses it's on a carpet or rug, it automatically lifts its mop pads by 15mm to avoid getting them wet.

It's rare to find a robot vacuum with this level of power, automation, and intelligence, and it's practically unheard of to find it at this price point.

On Wednesday morning, President Donald Trump unveiled the highly-anticipated AI Action Plan.

The report outlining federal AI policy actions focuses on three major areas, or pillars designed to ensure U.S. AI dominance and promote economic progress domestically.

As expected, it pulls back on regulations targeting tech companies described as "onerous" and "bureaucratic red tape," includes many provisions on expanding AI infrastructure within the country, and lays out a case for establishing U.S. AI technology as the global standard for "like-minded nations" over adversarial countries like China.

The lengthy and broad-sweeping document will be the subject of in-depth analysis for days to come, but there a several key policies that immediately stand out.

Trump wants "anti-woke" AI and control over state AI regulation

Within the document, the Trump Administration recommends federal agencies to work with companies developing frontier large language models (LLMs) that "ensure that their systems are objective and free from top-down ideological bias," which is the formal way of addressing the AI models deemed too liberal-augmented or "woke." The announcement mandates, "AI systems must be free from ideological bias and be designed to pursue objective truth rather than social engineering agendas when users seek factual information or analysis."

As part of accelerating AI development, the plan recommends the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to restrict federal funding for states whose regulations "may hinder the effectiveness of that funding or award."

Data centers could be built on public land

The action plan also focuses AI infrastructure and boosting AI manufacturing in the U.S. This includes building data centers, enabling easier access for permits by deregulating certain environmental standards, and upskilling relevant workforces like electricians and HVAC technicians.

This section also includes an alarming recommendation about using federal lands available for manufacturing data centers.

Trump wants to tighten access to American AI tech

A major pillar of the plan focuses on promoting American AI technology abroad. "The United States must meet global demand for AI by exporting its full AI technology stack—hardware, models, software, applications, and standards—to all countries willing to join America’s AI alliance. The report also recommends the Department of Commerce (DOC), the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), and the National Security Council (NSC) to strengthen exports control of valuable chips to make sure they don't wind up in "countries of concern."

SEE ALSO: AI-generated songs are showing up under deceased artists on Spotify

Elsewhere, the plan recommends federal agencies focused on domestic labor and economics, to "study AI’s impact on the labor market," and build programs for retraining of workers impacted by AI job replacement.

Little discussed in the policy world until now, announcements addresses the sometime subjective and insufficient evaluations of AI models. Rigorous evaluations can be a critical tool in defining and measuring AI reliability and performance in regulated industries," the report said. "Over time, regulators should explore the use of evaluations in their application of existing law to AI systems."

There's lots to unpack here and even more to assess how theses mandates play out. Stay tuned for more of our coverage on what this means for the AI industry and its broader impact on our world.

If your TikTok FYP is full of people doing an impressive pose — one that also looks wildly uncomfortable — you can blame that trend on pop star Nicki Minaj. If you've not seen this trend, imagine the weird 2010s planking fad, but instead of lying flat, people are posing in nearly impossible ways.

The trend can actually be traced back to the 2013 Minaj track "High School." In the music video for the song, she poses poolside, one leg over the other, carefully balanced in high heels.

Credit: Screenshot: YouTube / Nick Minaj

People on TikTok somehow resurfaced this pose and have taken it to new degrees. In fact, the top comments on the YouTube video for the song are about the new trend.

As TikTok trends typically go, people have played with the pose and, frankly, made it even more difficult. People have done it with just one leg on the ground, or balanced on weights, or on a beer can. Seriously: People are balancing, in that pose, on a platform as tiny as a beer can. How?! Users have even compiled some of the most impressive poses into highlight reels of sorts.

The trend goes to show that anything can be found and repurposed online, even a dozen years later. It also goes to show that some folks possess balance I cannot even dream of obtaining.

Keanu Reeves gets an angelic makeover in the upcoming comedy Good Fortune.

Written and directed by Aziz Ansari (Parks and Recreation, Master of None) in his directorial debut, the film stars Reeves as Gabriel, a guardian angel. (Not to be confused with the angel Gabriel.) While you might think of these custodians as performing great deeds of life-changing kindness, Gabriel is more of a "budget guardian angel." He mostly just steps in to save people from texting and driving.

However, Gabriel finds an opportunity to make a meaningful impact when he crosses paths with lost soul Arj (Ansari), a down-on-his-luck gig worker. Arj spends much of his time in the service of wealthy jerks like tech bro Jeff (Seth Rogen), and as much as he hates them, he also yearns to live their lavish lifestyle.

Gabriel, sensing a chance to change Arj's life for the better, decides that in order to get Arj to appreciate his own existence, he should show him that Jeff's life isn't all it's cracked up to be. He swaps Jeff and Arj's places to teach his ward that money won't solve all his problems. There's just one issue: Arj quickly realizes that living like Jeff does, in fact, solve all his problems. Who could have seen that coming? Certainly not Gabriel.

To watch angel Keanu in action and see the Jeff-Arj switcheroo in all its glory, check out the full trailer above.

In addition to Reeves, Ansari, and Rogen, Good Fortune also stars Sandra Oh and Keke Palmer.

Good Fortune hits theaters Oct. 17.

We usually spot the best deals at Amazon, who's known to match the lowest prices at other retailers. However, Amazon has yet to match this $137.99 price tag, so the best place to buy an Apple Watch right now is Walmart.
