These 4 Outlook tools helped me achieve "Inbox Zero"
Outlook is one of the most versatile email clients out there, even if you don't use Microsoft's own email services. If you're anything like me, you probably leave thousands of unread emails accumulating over time, but it turns out Outlook is pretty good at culling this.
Google researchers just put a new expiration date on Bitcoin
A team of Google researchers just set a new date for post-quantum cryptography migration: 2029. Among other things, this means that Bitcoin, as well as many other cryptocurrencies, needs to adopt new cryptographic techniques that are resilient to quantum attacks within three years.
Google announced the new timeline in a blog post. "Quantum computers will pose a significant threat to current cryptographic standards, and specifically to encryption and digital signatures," the post said.
In terms of actual science, two important papers were published on Monday. One is signed by Google researchers, the other by a startup called Oratomic (with ex-Googlers and Caltech folks on board). The papers are a dense read for anyone who's not an expert in cryptography, but can be simplified to this: They describe new ways to break some very important cryptographic systems using quantum computers, with far fewer resources (10x) than previously thought.
This is relevant for Bitcoin because it makes it far more likely that someone can build a quantum computer capable of deriving a Bitcoin private key from a Bitcoin public key. In fact, so much more likely that Google decided not to show the actual quantum circuits they used to do this, instead showing a mathematical proof that this is possible.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Justin Drake, one of the researchers that co-signed the Google paper, has a good overview. "A superconducting quantum computer, the type Google is building, could crack keys in minutes," he wrote.
Important point: As Adam Back, an important Bitcoin expert, pointed out, Bitcoin (the network) does not use encryption. What Google has found doesn't mean someone can intercept transactions on the Bitcoin network; instead, they could crack someone's private key, and when you have someone's private key, you have their coins.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.In fact, it's a bit more complex than that. The two papers above reference Shor's algorithm, a quantum algorithm developed by Peter Shor back in 1994, that makes it a lot faster to break certain types of encryption with quantum computers. Shor's algorithm could be used to derive a Bitcoin private key from a public key, but only in certain cases. This includes some old Bitcoin addresses, including those used by Bitcoin's elusive creator Satoshi Nakamoto himself; this is notable, as these addresses hold over one million bitcoins, meaning that the potential prize for someone cracking them is in the tens of billions of dollars (not to mention the havoc it would cause on the network as everyone scrambled to figure what's next).
Newer addresses can also be cracked, but not until they're broadcasted within a transaction, meaning there's a short (typically 10-minute long) window in which someone could use Shor's algorithm to get that private key. No known quantum computer that could do this exists right now, even considering the optimizations found by Google and Oratomic researchers. But it's not unfathomable that someone builds it in the future.
Bitcoin is traditionally slow to make any changes. Adam Back, in particular, advised in 2025 that "some quantum readiness" should be added in the next five years, though he said he's not expecting it to be used "in a few decades."
In contrast, the new papers demonstrate that the quantum threat for Bitcoin is much closer than that, and that serious action should probably be taken now.
SEE ALSO: Bitcoin biopic 'Killing Satoshi' leans into generative AIWhat can be done? Google's paper suggest ways in which blockchains (including Bitcoin) could mitigate the issue. This includes simple steps such as moving coins from old addresses to new ones if possible, but also updating protocols to include post-quantum cryptography. This process is not easy for large, established cryptocurrency networks, and it may take years to even agree on a best solution (an internal strife over block size on Bitcoin's network took about two years to resolve), let alone implement it.
Other cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum, are also vulnerable to these issues. The Ethereum Foundation, a non-profit that stewards Ethereum's long-term growth, recently published a post-quantum roadmap, aiming to solve these issues before it's too late.

You can still shop Apple iPads on the final day of Amazons Spring Sale — prices as low as $299
Today, March 31, is the final day of Amazon's Big Spring Sale. This annual event ushered in discounts on all sorts of items, giving you an early-year treat before the major sales get going later in the year (like Prime Day). These discounts include Apple products, a lot of which have fallen to record-low prices over the past week.
If you’ve been eyeing an iPad, we've spotted discounts of up to $290 across Apple's tablet lineup. The just-updated M4 iPad Air has a small price cut, while its M3 predecessor is nearly $100 off. Some models have sold out, so don't wait too long to add one to your cart because these tablets are shifting very fast indeed.
Below, we've rounded up the best live iPad deals so you don't have to go digging through Amazon's listings yourself. Note: Offers marked with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low.
Best iPad deal overall Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple iPad, 11-inch (A16, WiFi, 128GB) $299 at Amazon$348.97 Save $49.97 Get Deal Why we like it
On the final day of Amazon's Spring Sale, iPad deals are moving quick. Early in the sale, the iPad Air was down to its lowest price ever. While we think it's the best Apple tablet for most people, it's no longer at its lowest price so there are better deals to shop.
Instead, shop the already budget-friendly iPad which is down to $299. That saves you $50 off its $349 list price. For under $300, you're getting a stellar tablet. Is it the best price we've ever seen on the tablet? No, that price would be $271.29. For right now, $299 is pretty darn close.
But there are plenty of other iPad deals to shop, and we rounded up the best ones.

Futuristic Xreal smart AR glasses are back to their lowest-ever price in this last-chance Spring Sale deal
SAVE UP TO 22%: For the final day of the Amazon Big Spring Sale 2026, Xreal's smart AR/XR glasses are discounted to their lowest-ever prices. Grab the Xreal 1S for $448.99 or the Xreal One Pro for $598.98.

As Mashable's tech editor, I've been scouting out the best tech deals from the Amazon Big Spring Sale 2026. Well, here's one for the early adopters: Xreal's augmented reality smart glasses are back down to their lowest-ever prices, with savings up to 22% on offer.
So, if you've been eyeing smart glasses, this is your chance to try them out. I've been busy this year testing smart glasses, and so far, the Xreal One Pro is the best model I've tried, and the only pair I actually use in my personal life.
And don't forget: The Amazon spring sale ends at midnight PT tonight, and this will be the last big sale until Prime Day later this year.
Why I like Xreal smart glasses That's me wearing the Xreal One Pro AR glasses. Credit: Joe Maldonado / MashableSmart glasses are still a novel technology, and there are many different kinds. Personally, I strongly prefer smart glasses without cameras, as I worry about the privacy implications of these smart glasses going mainstream.
Unlike the Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses, Xreal makes augmented reality glasses. When you put them on, they project a large virtual screen into the space around you. You plug them into your phone, laptop, or gaming device via a USB-C cable, giving you an extra screen to use. I've found they're really useful when working on a plane and other cramped spaces.
The Xreal One Pro are the glasses I've personally tested and use, and they're the leading AR glasses of the moment. However, Xreal recently released the 1S model, which offers some key upgrades — at a lower price.
In addition to extending your screen for enhanced productivity, the Xreal 1S glasses are made for watching movies and gaming. They can project a virtual screen up to 500 inches in size. With both glasses, you can either anchor the screen to a particular spot in your field of view or have the screen follow your eyes.
Honestly, it feels like something out of science fiction.
Check them out at Amazon before the Big Spring Sale ends.

The best laptop deals from Amazons Big Spring Sale — last chance to shop record-low MacBooks
I've spent the last three years as Mashable's resident laptop expert, a job I take very seriously. The fact of the matter is that a good computer usually isn't a cheap one, so I go to great lengths to make sure any laptop I recommend is worth the investment. Put another way: I'm very picky because I look bad if I tell you to buy an expensive machine that actually sucks.
I'm so picky that I also have opinions on where you should buy your laptop. Admittedly, Amazon usually isn't my first choice: It doesn't stock as many models as other tech retailers like Best Buy, and it's filled with listings from third-party sellers I don't fully trust. (They can have different customer service policies than Amazon itself, and they might be advertising misleading specs.) But there are always some good laptop deals available during Amazon's sitewide sales throughout the year — including its Big Spring Sale, which wraps up today, March 31.
SEE ALSO: Amazon Big Spring Sale 2026: Live updates on Apple, Samsung, DJI, and Kindle dealsThe very best laptop deals I'm seeing on Amazon right now involve MacBooks, MacBooks, and more MacBooks. Almost every Apple laptop from the past two years is on sale, if it's still in stock, with the biggest price cuts going to a couple of M4 MacBook Airs. At $300 off, they're significantly cheaper than their iterative M5 replacements that Apple announced earlier this month. (Those are also on sale already, but only for about $50 off.)
The latest MacBook Pros have gotten much cheaper since the Big Spring Sale started on March 25, so congrats to any procrastinators out there. You can snag an M5 Pro or M5 Max model for up to $200 off; they were only $50 off last week.
Things are pretty stale on the Windows side, but I managed to find an Asus gaming convertible on sale for a record-low price.
I've rounded up all of my top picks below. Don't count on them sticking around past 11:59 p.m. PT tonight, when the Big Spring Sale officially ends. Note: Deals marked with a 🔥 have dropped to a record-low price.

The 2025 MacBook Air is basically identical to its predecessor, save for its wireless chip and processor. (You're not missing out on much there: In our performance tests, the M4 version was only about six percent slower than the M5 model in both single- and multi-core workloads.) It features a vibrant Liquid Retina display, a backlit keyboard, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, and a 12MP webcam with Center Stage support. At $1,099, this 15-inch starlight model has never been cheaper.

The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is a zippy gaming convertible with a detachable keyboard and a buttery 180Hz display — GTA V's Ned Luke is a fan. This configuration is powered by a high-end AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chip with integrated graphics that performed on par with an RTX 4060 GPU when we tested it in another Asus laptop. Amazon has it marked down to $2,069.99, which is 14% off its MSRP and its best deal to date. (Ignore Amazon's deflated list price; it actually retails for $2,399.99, according to Asus' website.) It also comes with a free PC download code for Crimson Desert, Pearl Abyss' huge new fantasy-action adventure game.
This ROG Flow Z13 deal is price-matched at Best Buy, but it doesn't include the Crimson Desert code there.

No one actually needs a 75-inch TV, but if you're someone who lives for sports, hosts a lot of movie marathons with friends and family, or has a partner who insists the living room needs a screen the size of a billboard (or maybe you are that partner), Amazon's Big Spring Sale is making it a lot easier to justify.
SEE ALSO: I've tracked TV prices for years — now's your last chance to score Amazon's Big Spring Sale TV dealsAs of March 31, you can get the 75-inch TCL Class QM8K Series 4K Mini-LED TV (2025 Model) for $1,447.99 at Amazon, down from $1,999.99. That's a 28% discount or $552 in savings. And while it's not the lowest price we've seen it go for (it was about $100 less last November), this is still a pretty good deal for a TV with a 4.4-star rating.
This specific model uses QD-Mini LED paired with TCL's Halo Control System. In everyday viewing, this means you get better contrast without the distracting light bleed (or "halo" effect) around bright objects on dark backgrounds. It also includes an anti-reflective, edge-to-edge panel, which is helpful if you're putting the TV in a room that gets a lot of natural light.

I found 20+ noise-cancelling headphones to shop in Amazons Spring Sale: Last chance to save on Sony and Bose
As a headphones reviewer who's also covered the past two years of Amazon's Big Spring Sale, I knew that the seasonally themed sale could bring some decent tech savings, even if they weren't quite Prime Day-worthy.
Still, I didn't expect the noise-cancelling headphones and earbuds deals to be as good as they are. On the final day of the weeklong Amazon sale, a new markdown on the last-gen Sony WH-1000XM5s has joined existing deals on Bose QuietComfort headphones, the Apple AirPods Pro 3, and the JLab JBuds Lux ANC, our favorite budget cans. (Plus, Amazon has revived its preorder discount on the new AirPods Max 2.) If you haven't added anything to your cart just yet, you still have plenty of options.

They may not be the flashiest headphones from the brand, but the regular QuietComforts feel like quintessential Bose. They're comfortable, have sound quality on par with more expensive headphones, and excellent ANC. They lack the spatial audio features or fancier design of their Ultra counterparts, but at $249 on sale, they're also about $200 less, making them an excellent option if you want something nicer than budget headphones, but don't want to drop $400 or more. When Mashable's Sam Mangino tested them for our guide of Bose headphones, she wrote, "I was pleasantly surprised at just how incredible they are." As a bonus, they have replaceable ear cups, making them great for future proofing.

Red alert: Apples brand-new AirPods Max 2 are $20 off for Amazons Big Spring Sale
SAVE $20: Amazon has the all-new Apple AirPods Max 2 headphones discounted to $529 (normally $549) during its Big Spring Sale.

That was fast: The new Apple AirPods Max 2 are already on sale. Thank Amazon, which is offering the deal amid its third annual Big Spring Sale.
The midnight and starlight variants are both marked down to $529, which is $20 off their normal retail price of $549. (Suffice to say, they've never been cheaper.) They were still stuck at full price at other major retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart.
SEE ALSO: The best AirPods deals to shop in Amazon's Big Spring Sale — AirPods 4 and AirPods Pro 3 on saleApple surprise-announced the AirPods Max 2 last week, a small but long-awaited update to its supremely stylish over-ear headphones; they're set for release on April 1. We have yet to test them, but Apple promises that they offer better noise cancellation than the original AirPods Max, which it launched in 2020 and updated with USB-C charging in 2024.
The new AirPods Max 2 also support more smart features, including Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, Voice Isolation, Live Translation, Siri head gestures, and a camera remote. (If you have your camera app pulled up on a paired iPhone or iPad, pressing the AirPods Max 2's Digital Crown takes a picture.) They run on the H2 chip like the AirPods Pro 3.
This is the first-ever discount for the new AirPods Max 2 headphones, and you can only find this preorder offer at Amazon

Read Mashable's review of the Eufy C28.
Mashable's robot vacuum expert, Leah Stodart, tested and loved the Eufy C28 when it came out last month. At $499.99 for the Big Spring Sale, the Eufy C28 is not only the most affordable roller mop robot vacuum you'll find this season, but the best budget robot vacuum and mop combo period.
If you're jaded from a bad mopping robot vacuum experience in the past, it's probably because it smeared dirty water more than it scrubbed. Stodart thinks that this Eufy's self-rinsing roller mop will change your mind. Its fluffy material is already more absorbent than the typical thin mopping pad — but just to ensure liquid spills aren't being smeared around, the C28's roller gets rinsed with clean water multiple times per second. Its self-emptying dock also washes and dries the mop after each cleaning.

Airbnb now lets you book a ride to your accommodation
Airbnb will now let you book private car pickups, mirroring longtime offerings from competitors like Expedia, Tripadvisor-owned Viator, and Booking.com.
Announced Tuesday in a blog post, the travel company has paired up with Greek company Welcome Pickups to allow Airbnb users to pre-book airport and station transfers through the app.
It's not a groundbreaking, earth-shattering update, just pretty unwelcome news for Airbnb's competitors.
SEE ALSO: The 'Heated Rivalry' cottage is available to rent on AirbnbIf you book accommodation with Airbnb, you'll be prompted with the option to pre-book transfers, in a similar manner to other travel sites that throw add-ons at you after you've dropped the big budget allocation on your bed for the night.
For arrivals, you'll supply your flight number in the app for drivers to monitor delays and sync the pickup time, then you'll need to look for the driver waiting with your name on it at the airport or station. For departures, you can add your accommodation details and preferred time through the app just like a ridesharing platform like Uber, Lyft, etc. — the process will just be more streamlined as your address will already be in the Airbnb app.
Featured Video For You How prediction markets got people betting on nuclear warAccording to the company blog post, the private car service was successfully tested in early 2026 to positive reviews. Pickups will be rolled out in 125 cities in Latin America, Asia, and Europe — North America has not yet been added, although Welcome Pickups has operated in U.S. cities including New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago since 2021.
Airbnb said there will be "more cities to come in these regions throughout 2026," but for Heated Rivalry fans going to the cottage, Canada's not on the list yet.

I test new vacuums every month — these are the robot vacuum deals worth buying on the final day of Amazons Spring Sale
I have seven robot vacuums in my apartment right at this moment, and those are all just models that have come out in 2026. Perhaps that gives you an idea of how many robot vacuums I test at home on a yearly basis — and why I'm always super confident in telling readers which robot vacuum deals are worth it during any Amazon sale event.
So, I'm back with an updated list of robot vacuum recommendations for Amazon's 2026 Big Spring Sale, which ends today. A good robot vacuum is a staple in my general spring cleaning starter kit because automating your floor care quite literally frees up some time to focus on the chores you don't do as often.
SEE ALSO: The Shark UV Reveal robot vacuum came out less than a month ago. It's already on sale for Amazon's spring sale.A ton of solid robovacs across all price points are up to 50% off, significantly expanding the number of options that fall within your ideal budget. Even the fanciest flagship Dreame, Roborock, and Shark robot vacuums that just came out are already seeing discounts. But this is your last chance to snag a robovac at these prices, with the clock now ticking on Amazon's Big Spring Sale.
(Looking for the best cordless vacuum deals or the best spring cleaning deals to restock kitchen, bathroom, and laundry products? We've kept tabs on those, too.)
Best robot vacuum on sale overall Eufy C28 $499.99 at Amazon$799.99 Save $300 Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Eufy
Read Mashable's review of the Eufy C28.
While I'm stoked that the most powerful robot vacuums of the year are actually seeing decent discounts, they still cost more than $1,000 on sale. So the more realistic route for my "best robot vacuum deal overall" pick is the Eufy C28, now under $500 (compared to its usual $799). It's still a 2026 premium robot vacuum and mop combo that rocked during my testing, and it's likely the most affordable mainstream roller mop robot vacuum you'll find this season.
If you're jaded from a bad mopping robot vacuum experience in the past, it's probably because it smeared dirty water more than it scrubbed. I think that this Eufy's self-rinsing roller mop will change your mind. Its fluffy material is already more absorbent than the typical thin mopping pad — but just to ensure liquid spills aren't being smeared around, the C28's roller gets rinsed with clean water multiple times per second. Its self-emptying dock also washes and dries the mop after each cleaning.
Best budget robot vacuum deal 3i G10+ $199.99 at Amazon$249.99 Save $50 Get Deal at Amazon
Read Mashable's review of the 3i G10+.
In search of a cheap robot vacuum that doesn't suck? The $149.99 Shark Ion robot vacuum that probably popped up first at Amazon is far from the best robot vacuum under $200 during this sale. Instead, I'd point you to a more niche budget pick that wowed me during testing. Last year, I said that the 3i G10+ was "the most impressive robot vacuum under $500" (and that you've probably never heard of it). Now, it's on sale for a record-low $199.99.
The G10+ uses a unique dust compression system to keep you off dustbin emptying duty for 60 days, but without requiring space for a traditional self-empty dock. This means that the G10+ can live under relatively low-clearance furniture like a couch or TV stand. In this price range, I was blown away by its small obstacle avoidance capabilities and livestream pet camera. The Shark Ion doesn't even have smart mapping for cleaning specific rooms on command.
If you don't want to shell out that extra $50, you can spend the same $149.99 on the Roborock Q7 M5. That still secures mopping, room or zone cleaning through LiDAR smart mapping, and 10,000 Pa of suction power, beating the Shark Ion by a long shot.

The VS Code alternative that every developer should try in 2026
If you are reading this, there is a 90% chance you have VS Code installed. It is the industry standard for a reason. It has an extension for everything from Kubernetes management to a pet cat that walks across your status bar, but as we move through 2026, many of us have started to notice the "Electron Creep" and the lag it brings. The reality is that VS Code is essentially a web browser pretending to be a text editor.
