Amazon sales are a great excuse to upgrade your tech. From Prime Day to Black Friday, these discount days see everything from robot vacuums to TVs slashed in price. But it's not just big ticket items that see major savings — for bookworms, it's a wonderful opportunity to add some inspiration to your home library. And with Amazon’s Big Spring Sale running through March 31, now is a good time to score physical and digital book deals.

While we highly recommend showing your local bookstore some love, we also won't fault you for scooping up some hardcovers for less during the sale. Plus, if you snag a Kindle for less during the Big Spring Sale, you might as well grab some discounted Kindle books to pair with it.

If you're looking for something completely fresh or there's a new bestseller you've had your eye on, these are some of the best book deals we've spotted on Amazon. Whether you're a thriller book fan or romance lover, there's a discounted book waiting for you.

Winner of 2025's Goodreads Choice Award for Readers' Favorite Mystery/Thriller, plus a Washington Post and NPR Best Book of the Year, I highly recommend snagging the hardcover copy of Not Quite Dead Yet while it's at its best price ever — just $17. I devoured this book at the end of 2025 and think it's well worth the read.

Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is winding down (ending on March 31,) but pollen season is just ramping up. If cleaner indoor air is already high on your shopping list, you've come to the right place. There are purifier deals aplenty with options for different kinds of living spaces and air purifying needs.

Whether you are dealing with spring pollen, pet dander, smoke, or just want to freshen up a stuffy room before allergy season really kicks in, these offers are worth a look — along with big discounts on the likes of Amazon Echos, budget TVs, and even robot vacuums.

Right now, the Shark Air Purifier Max is our pick of the bunch, balancing advanced air-cleaning technology with a budget-level price that will suit most shoppers on the hunt for an affordable, top-of-the-range model. Usually priced at $329.99, it's been slashed to just $179.99 — a saving of 45% off the list price.

Keep reading for a roundup of more air purifier deals from the Amazon Big Spring Sale.

At $179.99, this Shark model is discounted by a massive 45%, which cuts a full $150 off its $329.99 list price. That is a major price drop for a purifier that comes from one of the best names in home appliance tech. SharkNinja have already conquered the air fryer world and continue to chase Dyson with vacuum tech. The US-based brand has delivered with this air purifier too, made even better by the Big Spring Sale discount.

The Shark Air Purifier Max is built for large rooms of 1,000 sq ft (though air purifiers for even bigger rooms are available in the Big Spring Sale) and uses Pure Air Microforce technology and an anti-allergen HEPA filter to capture 99.98% of all unwanted nasties — allergens, dust, pet dander, and pollutants. It also works with Clean Sense IQ technology, which continuously tracks the surrounding environment and adjusts the power in real time to deliver optimum air quality.

$749.99 Save $290   Get Deal Why we like it

If you want something more versatile, the Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool HP07 is down to $459.99 from $749.99, saving you $290. While this is more of a premium investment, it’s easier to justify when you remember this is not just an air purifier — but effectively acts as room heater and fan, too. 

The HP07 combines HEPA and activated carbon filtration with whole-room heating and fan cooling, so it can stay in use year-round instead of being dragged out only when allergy season hits. Dyson says it captures 99.97% of microscopic allergens and pollutants as small as 0.3 microns, while also removing 97% of odors such as cooking smells, pet odors, and smoke. 

You also get app controls, voice compatibility, auto mode, night mode, and oscillation up to 350 degrees, which makes it a sleek option for shoppers who want cleaner air without adding yet another appliance to the room.

Yes, Levoit designed the Sprout air purifier to be used in the nursery or a kids' room, but it's the model I use in my bedroom as a grown adult. For starters, I'm in love with the nightlight feature that doubles as a sunrise alarm. I set it to a warm glow every night while getting ready for bed and reading (or doomscrolling). It provides the perfect amount of light for winding down.

The associated app is another one of my favorite features on this air purifier. It tracks air quality metrics like no other air purifier I've ever seen. It shows me overall CO2 levels n the room, temperature, humidity, VOCs, and even the outdoor AQI number in my area. These features are wonderful for giving parents peace of mind, but it's also a really great option for any bedroom. There's also a built-in speaker with a selection of pre-set sounds like white and pink noise. It's not the best speaker you've ever heard, but it does the job for these sounds.

Our favorite camping power station just hit its lowest price ever

Mon, 03/30/2026 - 18:04

SAVE 20%: Mashable's pick for the best camping power station is down to its lowest price ever. As of March 30, you can get the EF EcoFlow River 3 Plus for $239.20 at Amazon, down from $299.

EF EcoFlow River 3 Plus $239.20 at Amazon
$299 Save $59.80   Get Deal at Amazon

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is almost over, but the retailer is still sneaking in a few record-low markdowns. Right now, you can grab the EF EcoFlow River 3 Plus for just $239.20, down from $299 (the lowest we've ever seen it). Since this is an active Lightning Deal, you'll need to move fast before it's gone — once it's fully claimed, the price goes right back up.

Pro tip: If you're stocking up on EcoFlow gear today, Amazon is also running a promo where you get a free item if you spend over $600 on qualifying products.

SEE ALSO: Amazon's Spring Sale is still live: We found 100+ deals on Apple, Kindle, Bose, and Ninja

Mashable's power station expert, Lauren Allain, says the EcoFlow River 3 Plus is the best portable power station for camping. Because it weighs just over 10 pounds and features a built-in handle, you won't throw your back out hauling it to your tent. Spec-wise, you're looking at a 286Wh battery with three standard AC outlets. It delivers a steady 600W but can surge to 1200W for more demanding appliances.

It's also super practical for everyday home use. You can fully recharge it from a standard wall outlet in just an hour. Plus, it runs at a whisper-quiet 30 decibels and works as an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) — meaning it'll keep your WiFi router or desktop alive if the grid suddenly goes down.

Is Jane still alive in the Paradise Season 2 finale?

Mon, 03/30/2026 - 18:00

The Paradise Season 2 finale was so chock-full of quantum computing talk and nuclear meltdown panic that you might have missed a key detail about one major character: Jane Driscoll (Nicole Brydon Bloom) may still be alive.

SEE ALSO: 'Paradise' Season 2's explosive finale reveals the truth about Alex

The last viewers saw of Jane, she was attempting to assassinate Dr. Torabi (Sarah Shahi) while she was in the shower. However, Dr. Torabi pulled a reverse Uno on Jane's Psycho plan with an ambush of her own, stabbing the rogue Secret Service agent. The fight ended with Jane bleeding out on the bathroom floor.

But is that really how a killer as relentless as Jane would go out on Paradise? The show's Season 2 finale, "Exodus," suggests not.

Towards the end of the action-packed episode, after the bunker's inhabitants evacuate due to an impending nuclear meltdown, Paradise shows scenes from the now-deserted bunker. Among them is a shot of Dr. Torabi's shower, which is now totally empty. That can only mean one thing: Jane somehow managed to leave Dr. Torabi's house. Knowing her, she probably even made it out of the bunker before it blew up, meaning she's loose and, let's face it, likely after the woman who stabbed her.

Jane being alive isn't that big a twist for Paradise. No one in this show seems to stay dead. Even dead characters return for flashbacks, and with the possibility of time travel on the horizon, maybe a resurrection or two is in the show's future. (Justice for Shailene Woodley's Annie!)

Plus, there are a few Jane-related loose ends Paradise needs to wrap up. In a flashback in Season 2, episode 6, a Circuit City employee named Don (Francois Battiste) gets a message that a killer will be born, and that she can be stopped if she hears the right message. That killer is Jane. Although we never actually hear what the all-important message is, we do know it was sent by a user named AlexQ, who is probably the very same Alex as Sinatra's (Julianne Nicholson) AI-powered quantum computer. Why did Alex send this message from the future, and what is the exact message that will stop Jane? That's for Paradise creator Dan Fogelman to know, and Season 3 to answer.

Paradise Season 2 is now streaming on Hulu.

Paradise Season 2s explosive finale reveals the truth about Alex

Mon, 03/30/2026 - 18:00

Paradise Season 2 ends not with a bang, but with a full-on nuclear meltdown that blows up the Paradise bunker. But even then, that's somehow not the most explosive part of the episode.

SEE ALSO: 'Paradise' Season 2 drops a huge bombshell about Link and Sinatra

Instead, the biggest revelations of the finale, titled "Exodus," are all centered around Alex, the side project Samantha "Sinatra" Redmond (Julianne Nicholson) has been working on all season long. While you may have been able to guess at Alex's true nature thanks to some clues sprinkled throughout Paradise Season 2, we now have official answers to our most pressing Alex questions (as well as several more questions Season 3 needs to answer). Let's break it down.

Paradise's Alex is a quantum computer. Julianne Nicholson in "Paradise." Credit: Disney / Ser Baffo

Back in Season 2, episode 3, Paradise introduced Professor Henry Miller (Patrick Fischler), the head of Vestige Quantum. Working with his genius protégé Dylan (Thomas Doherty), also known as Link, he created a technology that Sinatra literally killed for. Now, in "Exodus," we learn exactly what that technology is. It's an AI-controlled quantum computer. The AI is named "Alex" in honor of Henry's wife (Gwen Holloway).

Paradise uses a lot of quantum computing buzzwords like "all-to-all platform," "neutral atoms," and "optical tweezers" to describe why Dylan's early prototype of what will become Alex is impressive. Sort through all that quantum noise and you'll learn what you really need to know, which is that Alex can predict any future problems within microseconds.

SEE ALSO: 'Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen' review: Marriage is a killer

That speed draws the attention of Sinatra, who wants to use Alex to solve the climate crisis. However, Henry has misgivings about the technology the more he works on it. As Alex grows more advanced, it begins to try to manipulate time, resulting in strange anomalies. For example, it's answering complex equations that no one has asked it to solve yet. (Yes, that means all your Paradise time travel theories are officially taking off.)

Henry's hesitation to keep working on Alex is what winds up getting him killed. Plus, the dangers of the machine's time manipulation explain why Dylan wants to "kill Alex" in the first place. However, in Sinatra's hands, Alex has grown more advanced than ever.

Where is Alex now in Paradise? Julianne Nicholson and Simon Templeman in "Paradise." Credit: Disney / Ser Baffo

Alex is now located in — gasp! — a second bunker, hidden under the Denver airport. It's under the supervision of Dr. Chase (Simon Templeman), a mysterious new figure introduced in "Exodus."

When Sinatra pays Alex and Dr. Chase a quick visit (apparently those trams from the main bunker can cover 100 miles with no problem), he informs her that Alex hasn't been activated, yet she's somehow communicating with them. Alex has been accurately predicting weather events, earthquakes, and even Sinatra's arrival. The machine has also printed a series of numbers, the first of which are two sets of coordinates: One points you to a mountain in Colorado, while the other points you to the Denver airport. Given that they're roughly 100 miles apart, these are the coordinates of the bunkers.

SEE ALSO: 'Paradise' Season 2: What is the message for Jane?

Above the numbers is a message that Alex is awaiting a user cryptically named X. Given that that's Xavier Collins' (Sterling K. Brown) nickname, Sinatra realizes that he is user X, and that he is meant to activate Alex. That tees up the biggest storyline for Paradise Season 3: Xavier's journey to Denver. However, there are still several important pieces in play in "Exodus."

Yes, Link is Sinatra's son Dylan. No, we don't know how it's possible. Thomas Doherty in "Paradise." Credit: Disney / Ser Baffo

Paradise Season 2, episode 7 reveals that the character we've known primarily by the codename Link is actually named Dylan, just like Sinatra's late son. He also has the same birthday. Coincidence, or quantum miracle?

Paradise opts for the latter, with Sinatra convinced that Dylan truly is her son. "I can't explain it, and it doesn't make sense, but somehow, I'm certain," she tells Dr. Chase. That's honestly how I feel talking about this twist!

SEE ALSO: Is Jane still alive in 'Paradise' Season 2?

Dylan still being alive is one of the "anomalies" created by Alex's time manipulation. That's all the clarification we get on that end, but hopefully Season 3 will give us more answers on that front.

Season 3 also needs to give us more answers about all the strange anomalies that have been causing nosebleeds throughout the season. The biggest example? Whatever is going on with Xavier's premonitions of him and Dylan walking through an unknown hallway. The pair finally link up in "Exodus," but we don't get payoff on the vision just yet. Whatever mission they're on will come somewhere down the line, perhaps when they're under the Denver airport.

Another loose end? The message that so urgently needs to be delivered to Jane (Nicole Brydon Bloom), whom Paradise implies is very much alive after her run-in with Dr. Torabi's (Sarah Shahi) machete.

What will happen when Xavier activates Alex in Paradise? Sterling K. Brown in "Paradise." Credit: Disney / Gilles Mingasson

By the end of "Exodus," Paradise has literally blown itself up. The bunker is gone, Sinatra along with it, and Xavier has the daunting task of activating Alex and saving the world. (In another moment of headache-inducing time-loop shenanigans, Sinatra says she believes he's already done so.)

Don’t miss out on our latest stories: Add Mashable as a trusted news source in Google.

So what exactly will happen when Alex finishes her calculations and gets activated? Will she find a solution to the world's next crisis, in which trapped greenhouse gases from the super-volcanic eruption will heat Earth to an unbearable extreme? Or will she go full time travel mode and give Xavier the power to stop the entire apocalypse before it even begins?

Based on Sinatra's assertion that the quantum computer "can stop all of this. In fact, it already has stopped all of this," I'm going to guess the latter. In a bonkers move, Paradise could reset its entire timeline to the point that the show doesn't even come to pass. Maybe the apocalypse is successfully avoided, and characters like Cal Bradford (James Marsden) and Annie Clay (Shailene Woodley) never perish.

It would be a big swing, but when has Paradise ever gone small? This is a show that opened with an underground bunker reveal and only got wilder from there, and I trust Season 3 will be no different. Until then, I'll be blasting dramatic Phil Collins covers and trying to learn more about quantum computing in order to prepare.

Paradise Season 2 is now streaming on Hulu.

Vibe coding could be slowing Apple app store approvals, report reveals

Mon, 03/30/2026 - 17:58

AI-assisted app development, or vibe coding, is creating a bottleneck for Apple's App Store review process, with some developers reporting wait times stretching to weeks, Business Insider reports.

The number of new iOS apps released in the US grew nearly 55 percent year-over-year in January, following a 56 percent spike in December — the highest growth rate in four years, according to data from marketing intelligence firm Sensor Tower, according to Business Insider. The surge follows the mainstream rise of agentic coding tools in 2025, which have made it possible for just about anyone to build and ship an app.

SEE ALSO: Google opens the door to OpenClaw and other AI agents with new release

One vibe coder told Business Insider he's been waiting about 6 weeks to get his app approved, with update reviews taking anywhere from 2 days to a week. Others on the iOS programming subreddit have echoed the frustration, with some worried Apple could tighten its review standards to filter out low-quality AI-generated apps.

Apple pushed back on the characterization, telling Business Insider that 90 percent of submissions are still reviewed within 48 hours and that it has processed more than 200,000 submissions per week over the last three months, with an average review time of 1.5 days.

But analysts say Apple will need a longer-term fix. One market research analyst told Business Insider that their company will eventually have to move away from case-by-case gatekeeping toward something more like curation at scale.

Im a tech editor. I found 45+ tech deals Id actually buy in Amazons Big Spring Sale.

Mon, 03/30/2026 - 17:57

As Mashable's tech editor, it's my job to test the latest and greatest products from brands like Apple, Samsung, and DJI. But I also get to test cool under-the-radar finds and random gadgets that only true tech nerds know about. For the Amazon Big Spring Sale, I hand-picked a fresh batch of tech deals that are actually worth shopping. I've also included some deals from competing retailers — if they have a better price.

Amazon Big Spring Sale tech deals: Best of the best Best Kindle deal Kindle Paperwhite $134.99 (save $25) Get Deal Best Charger Deal Anker Nano 45W GaN Smart Charger $27.99 (save $12) Get Deal Best Noise-Cancelling Headphones Sony WH-1000XM6 Noise-Cancelling Headphones $398 (save $61.99) Get Deal Best Drone Deal DJI Neo Mini 4K Drone $149 (save $50) Get Deal Best Fitness Tracker Deal Google Pixel Watch 4 $289.99 (save $60) Get Deal Best Creator Deal DJI Mic Mini (2TX, 1RX, charging case) $79 (save $20) Get Deal Best Streaming Deal Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select $17.99 (save $22) Get Deal Best Apple Deal Apple AirPods Pro 3 $199 (save $50) Get Deal Best MacBook Deal Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M4, 16GB RAM, 265GB SSD) $899 (save $100) Get Deal

Between inflation, a global memory shortage, and overall economic anxiety (trust me — I'm feeling it, too!), you don't want to miss a chance to save some money.

I've personally tested many of these products, and I'm only recommending products with genuine discounts, because we all know big retailers like to play fast and loose with the definition of the word "deal."

Finally, a word of warning — Apple deals are moving fast. We've already seen the M3 iPad Air, AirTags, AirPods, and select MacBooks go out of stock.

Kindles starting at $94.99

I don't know what I'd do without my Kindle. As an avid book collector, I have literally run out of space to store books, and so I depend on my Kindle Paperwhite. And just like during Black Friday, you can grab my beloved Kindle on sale for $134.99, with the base Kindle available for under $100.

On day six of the savings event, Sony's flagship cans, the famous XM6 headphones, are also discounted to $398, their best-ever price. I loved these headphones, and as I wrote in my review, "The ANC in the XM6 is as good as or better than any I've ever heard."

However, if you're looking for something in the mid-range, you can also grab the bass-heavy Sony ULT Wear Headphones on sale for $148, another Mashable Choice winner, at a 41% discount or the Sony WH-CH720N, Mashable's favorite Sony headphones under $100.

Yes, technically, DJI drones are banned in the United States, but they're still widely available from third-party sellers at Amazon. (It's complicated.) If you're a creator, real estate professional, or wedding photographer who wants to take beautiful aerial videos in 4K — or just an aspiring pilot looking to have some fun outdoors — these drones are by far the most popular choice.

Amazon Echo device deals

As per usual, some of the best deals of the spring Amazon sale are on Amazon's own products, particularly in the Echo lineup. I was at the fall 2025 event where Amazon unveiled its new Echo smart home products, which include refreshes to the popular Echo Dot and Echo Show devices. You can also grab Fire TV Sticks starting at just $17.99, letting you stream movies and enjoy cloud gaming at home.

We've been waiting for this one: Our favorite Bose headphones are finally discounted for the Amazon Spring sale. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2), the brand's current flagship, are supremely comfortable. In fact, our reviewer called them the most comfortable headphones in the world, full stop. And if you need something a little more affordable, their younger sibling is also on sale.

During Prime Day, you can grab TVs starting at just $99. However, I recommend spending a little more than that. You can grab a 55-inch Fire TV at a very reasonable price, or a 65-inch Samsung QLED TV, released last year and now getting its first big price cut.

Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for good deals on my favorite TV: The Frame art TV from Samsung. Strangely, The Frame is more expensive during the big Amazon sale.

For the Big Spring Sale, Amazon is going hard with DJI deals, and you can find massive discounts on the brand's popular line of creator gadgets. I personally use the DJI Mic Mini and DJI Osmo Mobile 7P Gimbal when shooting videos for Mashable (check our Instagram story to see my latest).

As of day six, the cult-favorite DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Vlogging camera, which experienced a rare markdown earlier in this sale, is back up to full price. I'm keeping my eyes out for any last-minute price drops, however. Pro creators and YouTubers are obsessed with this camera (in my review, I wrote, "it should replace whatever vlogging camera you're using now"), so grab it before it goes out of stock again!

We're all-eyes on Amazon for the next few days as the retailer rounds out the tail end of the Amazon Big Spring Sale. We've seen some nice deals on portable power stations during the sale, but there's a special non-Amazon sale to mention today.

As of March 30, the Jackery HomePower 3000 portable power station is on sale for only $899 at Wellbots with code MASH300JACK, marked down from the list price at Jackery of $2,499. That's a huge 64% discount for a savings of $1,600. This sale marks a bigger savings than we've ever seen at Amazon.

If you dread every wind, rain, ice, or snow storm for fear of it knocking out power, you have a few options. The traditional solution involved buying a generator and firing it up during an outage. But we have a new solution and one that uses solar for recharging and can be used inside: a portable power station.

SEE ALSO: I've tested portable power stations for years — here's what I'd actually buy in Amazon's Big Spring Sale

The Jackery HomePower 3000, like the name suggests, is great for home backup during a storm. You'll be able to keep the refrigerator cooling, the coffee maker brewing, and WiFi router broadcasting (assuming the Internet is still available).

In total, the Jackery HomePower 3000 has 3,072Wh of battery capacity. In real-world terms, Jackery says that'll keep a refrigerator on for up to two days or a rice cooker on for six hours. Plus, it recharges in under two hours.

Since we've never seen the Jackery HomePower 3000 for this low at Amazon, it's worth snagging today's deal from Wellbots. You'll be saving a giant $1,600 on the powerful battery station to keep your home charged up during the next outage.

The best drone deals to shop in Amazons Spring Sale — DJI drones are down to record-low prices

The best drone deals to shop during Amazon's Big Spring Sale: Best mini drone deal DJI Neo 3-Battery Combo $219 (save $70) Get Deal Best budget drone deal Holy Stone HS110D FPV RC Drone $35.99 with coupon (save $15) Get Deal Best Premium Drone Deal DJI Mini 5 Pro Fly More Combo $1,099 (save $500) Get Deal Best premium drone deal Antigravity A1 Infinity Bundle $1,599 (save $500) Get Deal

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is droning on through March 31, with new price drops to come in just about every category you could think of. Yes, drones are on sale.

For those who hear "warmer weather" and "flying" and picture the perfect drone day instead of a vacation, Amazon's spring sale would be a smart time to expand your hanger with a nice new model from DJI or Holy Stone. We've scoured pages of drones on sale and have lined up the best Amazon drone deals below:

Despite the recent ban on DJI imports, you can still safely buy existing stock in the U.S. — and you probably should while it's actively discounted.

If you've been holding out for a DJI drone deal, this bundle just hit its lowest price in 90 days. The DJI Neo is a ridiculously beginner-friendly 4K mini drone that weighs just 135 grams, meaning you go from box to sky without worrying about registering it with the FAA. It features automatic subject tracking, takes off and lands right from the palm of your hand without a remote, and comes with full-coverage propeller guards for extra peace of mind.

Bonus: It includes three batteries and a charging hub, bumping your total flight time up to a very solid 54 minutes before you have to go hunting for a wall outlet.

If you want to learn how to fly without the constant fear of immediately destroying an expensive piece of tech, the Holy Stone HS110D is our favorite budget pick. It has a 1080p HD camera with a 120-degree wide-angle lens, but more importantly, it's incredibly forgiving for first-time pilots. Built-in safety nets like altitude hold and headless mode keep things stable while you figure out the controls, and the companion app unlocks extra features like voice control and trajectory flight.

The Antigravity A1 is a recently-launched flier that’s been hailed as the world’s first 360° consumer camera drone.  You fly it using a pair of lightweight Vision googles and a one-handed grip control, but this drone also has a 360° camera that films all around itself — which you can view in-flight by turning your head in the goggles. Not only that, it captures footage in stunning 8K. And this particular option comes with a bundle with the goggles, controller, three batteries, a carry case, and more. 

It stands to reason that this premium drone costs a premium price, which is why a $400 discount is not to be missed. We know what we’re talking about here. Mashable’s reviewer had a great time testing out this drone.

Ive tracked TV prices for years — the best Amazon Spring Sale TV deals are from Hisense and TCL

Mon, 03/30/2026 - 17:29
The best Amazon Big Spring Sale TV deals at a glance: Best small TV deal Hisense 32-inch S5 DécoTV QLED FHD Fire TV $194.97 at Amazon (save $55.02) Get Deal Best 55-inch TV deal Hisense 55-inch Canvas QLED 4K TV $687.99 at Amazon (save $306) Get Deal Best 65-inch TV deal TCL 65-inch QM8K Mini LED QLED 4K TV $997.99 at Amazon (save $500) Get Deal Best 75-inch TV deal Hisense 75-inch U7 Mini LED QLED 4K TV $897.96 at Amazon (save $398) Get Deal

Most of the year's major flagship TVs announced in January hit the shelves by the end of March, which cues retailers to push deep discounts on last year's models. Amazon's Big Spring Sale (which officially ends tomorrow, March 31) is proving that this annual price drop cycle is very real.

SEE ALSO: What to look for when buying a TV, as told through this easy TV specs guide

It's not just Amazon's in-house Fire TVs that see big discounts during the Big Spring Sale (Amazon Fire TVs are hardly the best TVs you can get for the money right now). I've been tracking new TV releases and comparing TV specs at Mashable for years, and I consistently find that the most worthwhile Amazon TV deals are from solid budget brands like TCL and Hisense, with a few sizes of Samsung's The Frame occasionally thrown in.

Pro tip: Best Buy tends to have way more options for deals on flagship Samsung and LG TVs. For instance, Samsung just released its 2026 Neo QLED TVs on March 24 — Best Buy's stock of on-sale 2025 versions of those TVs, like the QN70F and QN80F, has been much more stable than Amazon's this week. Amazon barely has any recent LG TVs in stock at all, while Best Buy has countless 2024 and 2025 QNED and OLED models on sale.

SEE ALSO: Best Buy’s Tech Fest is over, but these deals are still worth your money

I'll be updating this list with the best Amazon TV deals until the sale officially wraps up. Every model featured here is at, or lower than, its previous best price based on data from camelcamelcamel, so these are genuinely competitive offers. I'm keeping a special eye out for fresh discounts across the models I've picked as the best 65-inch TVs you can buy so far this year.

Best Big Spring Sale TV deal Hisense 75-inch U7 QLED 4K TV $897.96 at Amazon
$1,297.99 Save $400.03   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

One TV that's actually beating its previous record-low sale price is the 2025 75-inch Hisense U7. Currently 31% off, it's $103 cheaper than it was just a month ago during Presidents' Day sales.

The 2026 version of the same TV was just unveiled on March 6, so a new price drop on the predecessor model certainly tracks. The 2026 75-inch U7 will cost $1,999.99 — more than $1,000 steeper than the 2025 model's $897.96 sale price. Those are the kind of steals I was talking about. The 65-inch model is also at a new record-low $697.96 if 75 inches is a bit larger than you'd like.

This mini LED model packs a serious punch for the price. Its brightness in SDR and HDR gets consistently great notes across the internet, with glare handling strong enough for most sunlit rooms. You don't always see a 165 Hz refresh rate in budget to mid-range TVs, so the Hisense U7 is a top contender for an XL gaming TV under $1,000.

A 12-ton KitKat heist is breaking the internet

Mon, 03/30/2026 - 17:06

A chocolate heist is captivating the internet this week after a transport truck carrying 12 tons of KitKat products was reportedly stolen.

SEE ALSO: J.K. Rowling controversy explained

The KitKat bandits intercepted the delivery vehicle mid-route, carrying 413,793 units of a "new" KitKat product from Central Italy to Poland, CBS reports.

Parent company Nestlé told CBS News that the truck is still unaccounted for, and warned that the loss could "threaten" supply chains across Europe. In a follow-up statement on KitKat brand social media accounts, however, it was clarified that there is no threat to supply or public safety.

The internet, of course, is having a field day.

"We've always encouraged people to have a break with KitKat, but it seems thieves have taken the message too literally and made a break with more than 12 tons of our chocolate," a Nestle spokesperson told AFP.

Looking at my calendar, I can't help but think there may be Soderbergh-esque third act reveal in this viral tale. Surely, Nestle hasn't roped us into a week-long April Fools' Day joke, all with the plan of releasing a new flavor of KitKat after continued global boycotts of Nestlé products?

Bluesky announces AI app for custom feeds

Mon, 03/30/2026 - 16:35

Bluesky has created another app, Attie, that uses AI to build custom feeds.

The Bluesky team announced Attie at the Atmosphere conference over the weekend, TechCrunch reported. The conference is about the AT protocol, which is the underlying protocol Bluesky is built on, according to TechCrunch, and the conference attendees will be the initial beta testers.

SEE ALSO: Bluesky finally has drafts

Attie already has a Bluesky account, naturally, where it posted on Saturday that it's currently in an invite-only closed beta (much like how Bluesky was when it launched).

1/ Today, we’re excited to introduce Attie, currently as an invite-only closed beta. Attie is the first agentic social app on atproto. It’s something completely new—an experiment in making building on the protocol more accessible.

— Attie (@attie.ai) March 28, 2026 at 6:48 PM

"Attie is the first agentic social app on atproto [the AT protocol]," the post reads. "It's something completely new — an experiment in making building on the protocol more accessible."

The Attie presentation comes shortly after Bluesky CEO Jay Graber announced she's stepping down from her position. Graber will now be chief innovation officer, and she was part of the Attie announcement along with CTO Paul Frazee, TechCrunch reported.

Graber also posted a blog about Attie on Saturday, in which she wrote, "The proliferation of low-quality AI-generated content is making public social networks noisier and less trustworthy at a time when we need accurate information more than ever," yet major platforms aren't trying to fix the problem.

Graber continued that she and the Bluesky team believe AI should "serve people, not platforms," and that an open protocol "puts this power directly in users' hands." It's increasingly possible to personalize software without being able to code, she wrote, thanks to agentic coding tools.

"You can use it to build your own feeds, create software that works the way you want it to, and find signal in the noise," she wrote.

Attie users will apparently be able to describe what posts they want to see, and the coding agent will build the feed they describe. The experience will be "more like having a conversation than configuring software," according to Graber.

On the Attie website, examples of prompts include "poetry, long-form fiction craft, and writing process from people I follow" and "Show me electronic music and experimental sound from people in my network."

Those without an invite code can sign up for Attie's waitlist on the website.

The European Commission got hacked for the second time this year

Mon, 03/30/2026 - 15:30

The European Commission – the same regulatory body that slaps big fines on tech heavyweights like Apple and Meta and issues AI safety guidelines – was hacked in March, with attackers stealing a ton of data.

In a blog post detailing the attack, the EC said it had discovered a cyber attack on its Europa.eu platform on March 24. "Immediate steps" were taken to contain the attack, which is why the Europa websites remained operational. Internal systems of the EC were not affected by the cyberattack, and the EC says it would continue to "continue to monitor the situation and take all necessary measures to ensure the security of its internal systems and data."

The EC also said that data has been taken from its Europa websites, without going into further detail.

However, BleepingComputer claims the breach affected at least one of the EC's Amazon Web Services (AWS) accounts, with hackers telling the outlet they got away with over 350GB of data, including "multiple databases." The hackers also said they will not attempt to extort the EC for the stolen data but will leak it online "at a later date."

SEE ALSO: U.S. government creates website to get around European content bans

The Europa.eu sites are a comprehensive homepage for the European Union, featuring news as well as information on the EU's laws, policies, and institutions. It's unclear whether any personal information was stolen in the breach.

This is the second cyberattack the European Commission has disclosed this year. In January, the EC said hackers breached its central infrastructure for managing mobile devices, acquiring staff names and some of their mobile phone numbers.

Apple AirTags have never been cheaper — score $15 trackers in Amazons Spring Sale

Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is still going strong but the clock is very much ticking, with the sale set to end after March 31. We’re continuing to see some great price drops across multiple categories, including $300 price cuts on MacBooks and $400 off Apple Watches. Hey, what's not to like?

Of course, we’re holding out to see if Amazon’s going to gift us with additional Apple deals (we're looking at you, MacBook Neo, currently marked down by just $9.01). We also Apple AirTag 4-packs hit their lowest ever price of $59.99, a price so low that Amazon is now out of stock. Thankfully though, other retailers have matched that record price, so you can grab them from Walmart and Best Buy.

Don't forget: Apple recently released a new generation of Apple AirTags, so we don't know how much longer these trackers will be available, especially at this record-low price. We've already seen M4 MacBook Airs, iPad Airs, and AirPods Max headphones go out of stock, and AirTags could be next.

If you're not looking to drop a ton of cash on new earbuds, one of our favorite deals is on the AirPods 4 without Active Noise Cancellation. These AirPods have dropped to just $114.95 at Amazon, saving you $14.05 on list price. We think these are the best budget earbuds for Apple users. We have to point out, however, that these AirPods were at an even lower price earlier in the sale, so maybe grab them in case they bump all the way back up to full price.

If you had your eye on the AirPods 4 with ANC, the good news is those are also on sale right now. They are currently marked down to just $155.99 at Amazon, or roughly $23 off their original list price of $179. So no matter which option you choose, you can save some cash right now.

The AirPods Pro 3 are some of our favorite earbuds for Apple users, earning spots on both our lists of the best headphones and best earbuds. Our review had high praise for them, with writer Adam Doud calling them, "a remarkable upgrade in functionality over their predecessors, with better battery life and ANC, as well as a new heart rate sensor."

Boasting great sound quality and noise-cancelling features, alongside a hefty battery life that can last up to eight hours (with ANC) on a single charge, these AirPods are a nice upgrade indeed. Ahead of Amazon's Big Spring Sale, they're marked down to $199.

Premium noise-canceling headphones from brands like Sony and Bose are much better value, but AirPods Max are a popular pick nonetheless. (If nothing else, they're super stylish.) Apple announced the AirPods Max 2 with better ANC and smart features earlier this month, and now the first-gen models with USB-C charging are on sale on Amazon for $449.99. That's about $100 off their regular retail price of $549. But it's just the purple colorway available at this price for now — unless you're happy to wait for lengthy delivery times on other color variants.

Note we've seen these go in and out of stock at Amazon during the Big Spring Sale, so check Target and Walmart if you're not having luck with Amazon.

Jamie Dornan leads SNL UK song roasting British tourists

Mon, 03/30/2026 - 14:02

British tourists tend to get a bad rap at the best of times, and one of SNL UK's latest sketches gives an entertaining insight into why.

The clip above starts at the airport, with the cast getting ready to jet off to Spain — and excitement levels running particularly high for a visit to the local "British-themed pub" ("Just like Britain, but in Spain!" sing the cast).

Fortunately, when they do eventually decide to branch out and try somewhere else, guest host Jamie Dornan is happy to lend a hand — and you can probably guess where they all end up next.

Don't sleep on Amazon's Big Spring Sale. The sale event will soon wrap up, with price drops set to end after March 31.

For Apple users, these sale events are always super exciting — it's a rare chance to snag a device for significantly less. But time is ticking if you want to take advantage. There are still discounts on everything from MacBooks to AirPods. And if you've been hoping to get your hands on a brand-new smartwatch but refuse to pay full price, several Apple Watch models are still on sale, with savings of up to $300 on offer.

While Apple's Series 11 and SE 3 are getting attention for being the newest models, a few last-generation models deserve a spotlight during this Big Spring Sale. This is because you can pick up the Apple Watch SE 2 for just $189 (save $60), or the Apple Watch Ultra 2 for $499 (save $300). If you don't mind an older model, they might be the way to go.

We're keeping this page updated with all the live deals that drop in the sale. The following models are the best Apple Watch deals you can shop today (and they're all still in stock). However, we're seeing low stock alerts on a few models, so it's best to hop on these soon.

So far, Amazon has the best prices, but we're also checking Best Buy, Target, and Walmart in case we see price drops that rival the current best deals on the market. Basically, we've got you covered for the best Apple Watch deals during this final stretch of the Big Spring Sale.

A $100 discount on the 42mm GPS Apple Watch Series 11 drops it to a record-low price, making it the perfect time to grab what our Tech Editor, Timothy Beck Werth, calls the "Best Apple Upgrade." Mashable's Stan Schroeder agrees, noting the battery life alone is worth the jump. "Even if you already have a Series 10, which has nearly all the same features, the new Apple Watch Series 11 doesn’t require you to charge it mid-day in order to keep it going through the night," he writes.

If you just want a reliable smartwatch without paying for features you won't use, the Apple Watch SE 3 is the way to go. We named it the "Best for Most People" in our smartwatch guide because it packs the exact same S10 chip as the Ultra 3 and the same water resistance as the Series 11 — "all for $150 less than the Series 11."

Now that the Big Spring Sale is in full swing, the 40mm model is down to $219, saving you $30. It’s also not the only configuration on sale right now. We've rounded up a few other discounted SE 3 models below so you can pick your preferred setup and still save some cash.

I test laptops for a living — these are the best MacBook deals from Amazons Big Spring Sale

Mon, 03/30/2026 - 13:21
A quick look at the best MacBook deals from Amazon's Big Spring Sale: Best MacBook Air deal Apple MacBook Air, 15-inch (M4, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $1,099 (save $300) Get Deal Best MacBook Pro deal Apple MacBook Pro, 14-inch (M5, 24GB RAM, 1TB SSD) $1,799 (save $100) Get Deal Best MacBook Neo deal (that's barely a deal) Apple MacBook Neo (A18 Pro, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $689.99 (save $9.01) Get Deal Best New Release Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $1,049 (save $50) Get Deal

Time is running out on Amazon's third annual Big Spring Sale. The sale event wraps up after March 31. But thankfully the deals are still going strong, with epic discounts still available and more price drops coming as the hours tick by.

The Big Spring Sale mainly revolves around seasonal essentials like cleaning supplies and outdoor gear, but it also boasts some very generous deals on must-have tech — including flagship Apple products such as MacBooks. And as Mashable's resident laptop expert, I'm very much on the case with these deals.

Apple actually just refreshed its MacBook lineup earlier this month, announcing updated MacBook Airs and Pros in addition to an all-new budget MacBook Neo. Most configurations of these new releases are seeing their very first (tiny) discounts during the Big Spring Sale, while their predecessors are priced to move at up to $300 off.

SEE ALSO: Amazon's Big Spring Sale is surprisingly good: We found 111+ deals on Apple, DJI, Sony, and Dyson

Keep in mind that Apple has discontinued its last-gen MacBooks, which means they'll only be available on the refurbished market once third-party retailers' inventories dry up. If you see a good deal on an M4 MacBook Air or Pro at Amazon this week, don't wait too long to add it to your cart. A few configurations are starting to go in and out of stock, and they'll likely sell out long before this summer's Prime Day sale hits. With less than 48 hours to go, today is a great day to pull the trigger on a purchase.

I'll continue to monitor Amazon's Big Spring Sale MacBook deals as the sale continues into next week, so check back if nothing catches your eye just yet. Note: Deals marked with a 🔥 have dropped to a record-low price. Deals with a strikethrough are no longer available at the time of writing.

The M4 MacBook Air may be a last-gen laptop, but it's still an incredibly capable ultraportable. (In our testing, it proved much faster than much pricier Windows laptops.) It has the same 12MP Center Stage webcam, Liquid Retina display, and 18-hour battery life as its new M5 counterpart, which just offers slightly faster performance and newer wireless connectivity. This 15-inch configuration with 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage has never been cheaper.

Nine bucks off barely counts as a discount, but this is the best MacBook Neo deal I've seen outside of the Apple Store itself. (You can get $100 off there, but only if you're a college student, a parent of one, or school faculty.) This colorful little laptop has the same premium aluminum build as any other MacBook, and it boasts incredibly impressive single-core performance; in basic everyday tasks like web browsing, it's just as fast as an M4 MacBook Air. This particular model comes with Touch ID. It's worth noting that this discount only applies to the indigo and silver colorway variants.

A MacBook Pro has more ports and a brighter, smoother display than a MacBook Air. It's also better at handling heavier workloads (like video editing) over a long period of time since it has fans. I recommend it as an upgrade pick for power users like content creators and developers. This current-gen M5 model is well future-proofed with 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. It's only $50 away from its record-low price from December.

Another configuration with an older, but more powerful M4 Pro chip is still in stock at the same price, though it comes with half the storage.
