Tomb Raider is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, marking three decades since Lara Croft first strapped on her thigh holsters and went searching for ancient artefacts around the world.

To mark the occasion, game developer Crystal Dynamics has partnered with glasses company Gunnar to create a pair of spectacles inspired by one of Lara's most iconic looks.

Gunnar has unveiled its new Tomb Raider Croft glasses, the eyewear company's own version of Lara's signature accessory from her 1996 debut. These glasses aren't a 1:1 recreation of the pair in the game, with Gunnar having updated the design for a more modern aesthetic. However, they do take some clear cues from Tomb Raider's original design, such as its rounded shape and metal frames. It also includes details such as patterning around the rim, which wouldn't have been possible to render with '90s video game graphics.

The Tomb Raider Croft glasses are available with Gunnar's Amber, Amber Max, or Sun lenses, as well as their Amber Sun Shift transition lenses. Of these, the orange Amber Max lenses are by far the closest in appearance to Lara's original red aesthetic. The glasses come with a microfibre pouch, a cleaning cloth bearing the Croft coat of arms, and a case reminiscent of a utility pouch. You'll also get a fortunately less functional Dagger of Xian pin, the artefact at the centre of Tomb Raider II.

These glasses aren't just for looks though, as Gunnar specialises in spectacles that make staring at a screen for hours a bit more comfortable. As such, while all of the Tomb Raider Croft glasses' lens options offer 100 percent UV protection, they also block varying levels of blue light.

Blue light is a type of electromagnetic wave generated by the sun, light bulbs, and LED screens — including those found in computer monitors and mobile phones. Long hours at your desktop can suppress your body's melatonin, disrupting your circadian rhythm and making it harder to sleep.

If you're unwilling to cut back your late night gaming, at least partially blocking blue light should help you maintain a healthier sleep cycle. Gunnar claims that its Amber Max lenses block the most blue light at 98 percent, recommending it for managing migraines and helping to improve sleep, while the Amber lenses block 65 percent and are more geared toward general computer use.

Both the Amber and Amber Max lenses also have "Gunnar Focus," which is simply an +0.2 diopter lens. This gentle power is intended to give your eyes a little extra help focusing, helping relax muscles and reduce eye strain. Gunnar states that this option is suitable for anyone with 20/20 vision, or who wears contact lenses.

Crystal Dynamics sells an official version of Lara's sunglasses as well, offering both her round red lens look and her black Angel of Darkness pair for $39.90 each. However, these appear to be more geared toward cosplay, as the product description offers no information regarding their effectiveness against UV light, much less blue light. No matter how dark a pair of glasses' lenses are, they still require UV-blocking treatment to be effective as sun glasses. As such, Gunnar's glasses offer a more functional, elevated option for Tomb Raider fans.

Gunnar's Tomb Raider Croft glasses start at $99 for Amber, Amber Max, or Sun lenses, or $135 for Amber Sun Shift transition lenses.

There's nothing quite as panic-inducing as a sudden summer storm knocking out your power (and possibly your trees), only to leave you sweating in the dark and praying that your phone battery holds out and the milk in your fridge doesn't rot. The only way to make sure this doesn't happen is to buy a generator.

And, right now, you can get Bluetti's newest solar generator kit for just $698.98, down from $899, at Amazon. It hasn't even officially hit the market yet (it releases on July 20), so getting it for 22% off right off the bat is a pretty good deal.

It features a 1024Wh capacity and a 1800W output, which is enough to run 90 percent of your everyday essentials — think laptops, mini-fridges, drones, or a coffee maker when you're desperate. It also has a built-in 10ms UPS switchover, meaning if the power grid fails while you're working from home, it automatically takes over fast enough to keep your WiFi router and PC from crashing. Plus, it only takes 70 minutes to reach a full charge.

If you're completely off-grid or dealing with an extended blackout, you can plug in the included 200W solar panel to get it to an 80 percent charge in about four hours.

Now that we're in the heat of summer, it's time to consider whether you really need to turn on the oven to make dinner. Instead of contemplating another deli sandwich or dishing out the money on delivery, consider the convenience of an air fryer. There's a versatile model on a great discount today.

Instead of heating up the house with your oven, let the Ninja Prestige cook dinner without causing a temperature spike. The Ninja is capable of 10 cooking functions including air fry, roast, bake, broil, and reheat. It also has specific foods settings like pizza, toast, and bagel, so you can get the perfect crisp each time. Plus, it has smart surround convection heating for even baking.

Not only is the Ninja countertop oven great for regular kitchens, it's a perfect solution for tiny homes, apartments with a mini kitchen, or a cabin in the woods. The Ninja comes with the air fryer itself, two sheet pans, two wire racks, one air fry basket, a crumb tray, and a recipe guide.

Ninja mentions the extra large size of this model allows you to cook a six-pound chicken with veggies at the same time. It can also handle a 12-pound turkey or 20 cookies. Ninja makes some of Mashable's favorite kitchen appliances, and the air fryer is no exception.

Since it's on sale for a record-low price, consider making the upgrade to the Ninja Prestige Smart XL countertop oven. It's perfect for cooking on hot summer days.

Updated on Thursday, July 16 at 2:57 p.m. ET — In a pleasantly surprising turn of events, Valve has confirmed it will resupply Steam Deck LCD batteries to iFixIt in the coming week or so. The company confirmed as much in a statement to PC Gamer, and iFixIt CEO Kyle Wiens separately confirmed it in a post on X. Crisis averted.

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

You can find our original report below.

The original LCD Steam Deck is a great value, if you can still find one. If you need to repair it, though, you might run into some trouble.

A Reddit post from earlier this week (via Tech PowerUp) showcased a customer support email from iFixIt, one of the most popular purveyors of repair parts for tech products. According to iFixIt, which partners with device manufacturers to source high-quality replacement parts, batteries for the Steam Deck LCD are out of stock, and "it is looking less likely that we will continue receiving OEM Steam Deck LCD batteries."

SEE ALSO: Steam Deck OLED gets huge price increase amid RAM shortage

A further comment from an iFixIt representative said Valve is sunsetting parts for the original Steam Deck, which is unsurprising if you've been following the news lately.

Valve's popular gaming handheld has been hard to get for months now, thanks to RAMageddon, as Valve discontinued production on the LCD model and has only maintained limited production of the newer OLED model. Of course, the Steam Deck OLED also got a massive price increase as part of this whole deal.

As Tech PowerUp noted, there are third-party alternatives available on other e-commerce platforms like Amazon, so iFixIt may still be able to facilitate Steam Deck repairs before too long that way. Still, you'd rather have Valve provide the parts itself.

For gamers, it's the latest in a string of bad news related to affordability. Not only are major console makers all raising prices, but new handheld gaming consoles can cost as much as $1,500.

The 2026 World Cup final is almost here. One spot in the showpiece event has been decided, and now it's down to England and Argentina to battle it out. We're expecting something special from the Atlanta Stadium.

It all kicks off at 3 p.m. ET. Here's all the information you need to watch this semi-final fixture.

FIFA World Cup schedule today: July 15

• Semi Final: England vs. Argentina (Atlanta Stadium) — kickoff at 3 p.m. ET

How to watch FIFA World Cup games todayWatch England vs. Argentina

England have struggled at times in this competition, but after coming through tricky contests with Mexico and Norway, they're building some solid momentum ahead of this semi-final clash. Argentina are the defending champions, but they've had some lucky breaks to reach this stage. They looked very shaky against Egypt and Switzerland in the last two rounds.

It's difficult to predict the winner from this matchup. It could well be decided by a big moment from the likes of Bellingham or Messi.

Live coverage will be on Fox and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Not interested in signing up for a standalone streaming service like Fox One or Peacock? You can sign up for a live TV cable replacement service, like YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV.

As of July 15, the 27-inch OLED LG Ultragear gaming monitor is on sale for $499.99 at Amazon, down from the standard price of $899.99. That's a 44% discount that matches the best price we've seen at Amazon.

LG equipped the monitor with an anti-glare screen that helps minimize bothersome reflections that could spell a distraction. The 27-inch display means it'll fit well on most desks without taking over the space.

The included stand can tilt and pivot to your desired position, and you can adjust the height. In addition, the monitor has a borderless design. Since not everyday can be filled with gaming, the monitor will also be great for work tasks or streaming a movie.

While it's sitting at the record-low price from Amazon, make the upgrade to the 27-inch OLED LG Ultragear gaming monitor. It's currently under $500 which is close to a 50% discount.

The UK government announced plans to establish a social media curfew for teens aged 16 and 17, the BBC reported. The news comes a month after the UK announced a ban on social media for children under 16, and days after the EU announced a similar ban for children under 13.

The curfew would restrict use of social media apps like Instagram and YouTube, and would be from the hours of midnight to 6:00 a.m. But there will apparently be a way to opt out of this.

Currently, the UK is under the Online Safety Act, an age assurance law that requires proof of age to see content deemed "restricted to adults," such as pornography, but also extends to non-explicit content like forums about addiction.

SEE ALSO: Porn censorship is going to destroy the entire internet

The law, which went into effect in July 2025, is often circumvented by software such as VPNs, which mask a person's real location. While the UK considered a VPN ban for children, the BBC reported that that's no longer on the table.

"We have decided not to limit VPNs today and that's the primary conclusion for now but it is something we will continue to review," the UK's online safety minister, Kanishka Narayan, said on BBC Breakfast, referring to research on VPNs that suggested there wasn't much evidence they were being used by children to get around age checks.

Narayan also discussed the potential curfew as well as limiting autoplay features, saying, "Britain is already going to be the most robust place in the world when it comes to regulating" tech companies.

Critics, meanwhile, told the BBC the plan wasn't comprehensive. Andy Burrows, chief executive of the suicide prevention organization, the Molly Rose Foundation, said in a BBC interview, "While we welcome these measures for older teens, this latest move is yet another piecemeal set of announcements, not the comprehensive plan for children's safety that's required."

A social media ban for minors under 16 was enacted in Australia in Dec. 2025, but a recent study suggests it doesn't prevent under-16s from logging onto these platforms.

It offers a great blend of features and performance at a great price, especially since you can get it for a significant price cut right now. It uses Mini LD tech with full-array local dimming, which gives you excellent color and contrast. That means it has tiny LEDs to give the TV more accurate control over brightness and, by extension, improved lighting.

As far as its other options go, it offers support for all the usual suspects, including Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, HLG, and more. It also boasts a 144Hz refresh rate in addition to HDMI 2.1 with eARC and AMD FreeSync Premium with VRR and ALLM.

You'll also get up to 12 hours of playback on a single charge, and up to 48 hours total with the charging case. (A quick 10-minute charge will get you an extra five hours of playtime.)

When Apple announced major changes to its Apple Intelligence set of features in June, it came with a big caveat: Almost none of the features were available in the European Union and China.

This has now changed – at least in China.

According to Reuters, Apple Intelligence has been registered with China's cyberspace regulator. The new features are coming in iOS 27 and other new Apple platforms which are currently in beta; this development paves the way for them to launch in September, when iOS 27 is scheduled to launch proper. However, Reuters says that the regulator's statement did not give a precise launch date for the AI features in China.

Additionally, Alibaba said its Qwen AI model will be integrated into Apple Intelligence in iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Vision Pro devices in China. Furthermore, Baidu said it's working with Apple to develop Apple Intelligence features for Chinese iPhone users.

SEE ALSO: iPhone 18 news, leaks, and rumors: Release date, iPhone 18 Pro details, more

The report doesn't mention the European Union, where new Apple Intelligence features are mostly unavailable. In June, Apple said that the features were delay in the EU for iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 due to Europe's Digital Markets Act (DMA). At the time, the company said it does "not currently have a timeline for Siri AI’s availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU.”

According to internal Hinge data, 79 percent of users rely on friends and family for advice about their dating lives. Now, there's a way for them to literally add their opinion to daters' profiles.

"Until now, there hasn't been an easy way for the people who know you best to be part of creating your Hinge profile," Hinge's chief product and technology officer, Ben Celebicic, said in a press release shared with Mashable. "Friend's Take makes room for those who are always alongside you as you date and gives potential matches a richer, more authentic sense of who someone is before they meet."

Users can send a unique link to anyone to add a Friend's Take. No Hinge account is required on the other person's end, but they do have up to 72 hours to add their take before the link expires (or, until up to 10 people add a take).

The user can then pick and choose which takes to add to their profile, and have up to three displayed at one time.

In a preview of Friend's Take attended by Mashable, Hinge representatives discussed how a dater's friends may be able to speak to their positive qualities better than the person themselves. In response to a question of whether someone can technically add their own take, pretending to be someone else, they said yes. (Though, like any dating profile fakery, the buck would stop when you meet someone IRL and realize their profile wasn't truly representative of them.)

"Your friends see you clearly, often more clearly than you see yourself," Hinge's lead relationship scientist, Logan Ury, said in the press release. "They know the qualities you'd never think to mention, like 'She's the sweetest dog mom' or 'He’d never admit this, but he's the person everyone calls in a crisis.'"

Hinge is introducing Friend's Take shortly after the official launch of the purple heartbeat feature, Signals, a literal signal of "thoughtful" dating behavior of the app. Hinge also recently released Date Ideas to make planning a meetup easier.

Friend's Take launches globally today, excluding India.

Spooky season starts now — at least according to the Home Depot. Today, the hardware superstore unveiled nearly 30 new Halloween decorations and animatronics for 2026, including an app-controlled version of "Skelly," its iconic 12-foot skeleton prop.

The full Home Depot Halloween collection will be available online and on the Home Depot app this Thursday, July 16, while supplies last. There's no set start time, but past drops have gone live between 6 and 7 a.m. ET. Select products will arrive in stores sometime in August.

The new 12-foot Giant-Sized Animated LED App-Controlled Skelly marks the biggest update to the oversized lawn decoration since its viral debut in 2020. You can talk to trick-or-treaters through it in real time using a voice modulator on a companion mobile app. You can also record up to 30 voice lines for it to play. Servo motors make its head and jaw move, and LED lights inside of its ribcage produce a colorful glow. Additionally, its LCD LifeEyes can cycle through 20 different effects.

The Home Depot has introduced smaller upgrades and new accessories for Skelly over the years, but the big guy has never been this interactive or high-tech before. Last year, the retailer released a prototype of sorts with the 6.5-foot Ultra Skelly, which also had app-controlled voice effects, movements, and lighting. It will return this year as a web exclusive at the same price of $279.

The 12-foot app-controlled Skelly will cost $379 and also be sold online only. For those who don't want to splurge, the Home Depot will continue to sell the standard Skelly in stores and online at its usual price of $299. It has eight eye settings but is otherwise a static prop.

The Home Depot's 2026 Halloween collection features five more new giant animatronics. An 11-foot Mummy ($299) has motion-activated lights, posable shoulders, and removable cloth wrappings. It's a clear answer to the popular 12-foot mummy sold by competitor Lowe's for $349.

The new eight-foot Perilous Plant Monster ($299) is a viny, tricephalous beast with motion-activated head movements and sound effects. It joins the Home Depot's "Wicked Woods" decor line, along with an evil nine-foot tree named Dry Rot Dennis ($299).

The new eight-foot-long, motion-activated Zombie Velociraptor ($299) is tailor-made for a Jurassic Park-themed display.

Finally, the 8.5-foot Knight Frostbane is a headless horseman with a skeletal steed. It has three different animations and five preset voice lines. At $399, it's the most expensive new giant in the Home Depot's 2026 Halloween lineup, and you can only buy it online.

Other fresh additions to this year's Home Depot Halloween collection include a five-foot Rotwing Parrot ($179) that answers yes or no questions, a 7.5-foot Soul-Stealing Reaper ($199), a six-foot Creeping Spider ($249), and an app-controlled version of the seven-foot "Lethal Lily" witch animatronic ($299) it sold in 2023 and 2024.

A few of these props were briefly up for grabs in April during the Home Depot's annual Halfway to Halloween sale. Most others will be available for purchase for the first time this week, and they'll probably sell out fast. The retailer's Halloween animatronics have a zealous fandom on Facebook, where users discuss new releases and flag annual restocks with "Code Orange" alerts.

TL;DR: The new Motorola Razr is free with T-Mobile. Activate a new line on an Experience More plan to qualify for this limited-time promo.

Foldable phones are all anyone can talk about. Samsung has confirmed that new foldables will be announced in the upcoming Samsung Unpacked, Apple's foldable iPhone Ultra is on track for a September release, and Motorola has edged ahead of the competition by launching a range of nostalgia-inducing flip phones.

If you simply can't for Samsung and Apple to get involved, Motorola is your best bet. And better yet, mobile carriers like T-Mobile are giving away some of the best foldables from Motorola for free.

For a limited time, T-Mobile is giving away the new Motorola Razr for free. You don't need to trade anything in to qualify. You simply need to activate a new line on T-Mobile's Experience More plan. It's that easy.

It's important to note that T-Mobile isn't simply handing you the phone without a few strings attached.

Each month, your statement will display a standard finance charge for the phone, immediately followed by an equal promotional credit that balances that charge. What's happening here is you are entering a two-year commitment with the network. If you decide to cancel your service, move to a competing carrier, or upgrade to something else before the end of the 24-month period, the remaining unpaid balance on the phone's retail value will become due immediately.

So why the Motorola Razr? It offers a massive 3.6-inch Extreme AMOLED cover screen with a 90Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 1,700 nits. It also packs a massive 50-megapixel main sensor alongside a highly capable 50-megapixel ultrawide lens. It's all powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7450X processor, with 8GB of RAM, 256GB of built-in storage, and a robust 4,800mAh battery.

Score the new Motorola Razr for free with T-Mobile.
