Summer's right around the corner (for some of us, it feels like it's already here!), and that means bonfires, beach days, and backyard BBQs, which obviously, couldn't be had without some tunes.

If your speaker is shot or you've yet to get a portable Bluetooth speaker, the Monster Shock portable Bluetooth speaker is on sale for $26.99 at Amazon, down from $49.99. That's the lowest price we've tracked for this speaker, but Amazon's marking it as a "limited time deal," so you'll need to act fast.

SEE ALSO: I wore JLab's ridiculously big 'headphone' speakers. I still have so many questions!

The Monster Shock is IPX6 waterproof (so you can take it to the beach or bring it to the pool), has a 30W power driver and a max Bluetooth range of 100 feet, and offers 17 hours of playtime. And because it's practically half off right now, you could even grab two and pair them together for True Wireless Stereo surround sound for just a few bucks more than the original price of one.

Before you buy: a few reviewers noted that the speaker's automated control voice is aggressively loud, so maybe don't power it on for the first time while your friends are trying to nap in the sun.

DJI has unveiled the Osmo Pocket 4, the next iteration of its popular handheld gimbal camera. Sadly, it may be a while before people in the U.S. get to try it out.

Since its release in 2023, DJI's Osmo Pocket 3 has become a stalwart favorite of content creators across the globe. The newly announced Osmo Pocket 4 now adds several upgrades to the familiar 4K vlogging camera, such as dedicated zoom and customizable buttons that are accessible when the 2-inch touchscreen is twisted into landscape mode.

SEE ALSO: I reviewed the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and I can't imagine a better social video camera

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 camera features a 1-inch CMOS sensor, with 14 stops of dynamic range, helping it deliver improved low-light performance. Capable of filming at a maximum resolution of 16:9 4K at 60fps, the Osmo Pocket 4 can also record 4K slow-mo footage at 240fps — a frame rate the Pocket 3 only reaches at 1080p. 

DJI states that the Pocket 4 can run for an impressive four hours at its lowest resolution of 1080p 24fps, which is notably longer than the Pocket 3, and also has 107GB of built-in storage. This will likely be welcome news to anyone concerned about the increasing cost of memory cards, as the Pocket 3 relies entirely upon SD cards.

Unfortunately, a U.S. release of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 camera has not yet been confirmed. While other parts of the world will get their hands on the Osmo Pocket 4 within the next week, the U.S. government's hostility toward DJI continues to significantly hamper its business in the country.

SEE ALSO: We talked to DJI about the FCC drone ban in the United States.

A DJI spokesperson told Mashable that it has requested authorization from the FCC to release the Osmo Pocket 4 in the U.S. market; however, its application is still pending. And given the FCC's tough stance on foreign drone companies, U.S. content creators will simply have to continue waiting.

Meanwhile, in Australia, pre-orders for the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 are open now, with shipping scheduled to begin on April 22. The Standard Combo bundle costs $AU769 (approximately $551) and includes a handle, carrying pouch, gimbal clamp, and wrist strap. The $AU959 (approximately $687) Creator Combo includes all that plus a wide-angle lens, fill light, mini tripod, carrying bag, and a DJI Mic 3 transmitter with accessories.

At first glance, many may have assumed that Bob Odenkirk's new film, Normal, was another sequel in the Nobody franchise. With the same star, writer, and producer, the two films do share much of the same DNA. However, the team's new movie is not only a completely new story but attempts to blend genres in a way that further separates it from its predecessor.

Mashable's Entertainment Editor, Kristy Puchko, caught up with the Normal team at SXSW to talk about the film, its themes, and why they chose to film on 35mm.

The film's writer, Derek Kolstad (John Wick, Nobody), noted how this film differs from Nobody, the team's previous collaboration. "To this point, you know, in Nobody, if there's a house on fire, Hutch is going to run into it and hopefully fight anyone who's in there. In Normal, he's going to look at the house on fire and say, 'I don't know.'"

Odenkirk added, "It's not that much fire." The Normal star described the film as "a story of a guy who has lost trust in himself, his instincts. In the course of interacting with the people of this small town who are hiding something from him, he is desperately trying to avoid seeing it. And then his hand is forced. Once he sees it, he has to re-engage with the situation and the world around him. And then there's a flip-floppery of allegiances that is very surprising and probably a bit inscrutable. When asked to define, sort of, the subtextual themes, I'm like, 'Wow, there's like six of them,' and they're a little bit conflicting. And that's what's great about it."

Ben Wheatley (Meg 2: The Trench, Kill List, Rebecca), the latest addition to the production team, when asked what attracted him to the film, replied, "In the kind of range of things I still want to make. It basically has the DNA of a cowboy movie, and it has it has the white hat, black hat kind of style. It has a sheriff, which is a point of morality in the middle. But it still speaks to my kind of slightly twisted kind of sense of morality as well."

In the full interview on YouTube, the team also talks about the undeniable difference of filming with practical effects as opposed to CGI, the way certain movies hit differently as we get older, and why it was important that Normal be an homage to the classic action-thriller genre. "I think one of the reasons we're projecting this on 35 millimeter is because we want to point to that quality," Odenkirk said. "There's a satisfaction, I hope, that we're achieving. That was the reason for the poster that we have. The poster is really a throwback visual."

Normal is now in theaters.

So grab yours now if you want the lowest price currently possible.

At a Pentagon worship service on Wednesday, defense secretary Pete Hegseth recited an air rescue group's prayer he said drew from the Bible's Ezekiel 25:17. In reality, Hegseth delivered Samuel L. Jackson's Bible-inspired monologue from Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. The Pentagon later defended Hegseth's "custom prayer."

Stephen Colbert called it out during The Late Show on Thursday night, showing Hegseth delivering said "custom prayer" beside the scenes from the 1994 film. The edit is really something. Watching the U.S. defense secretary essentially quoting Jackson's Jules Winnfield, from a scene in which the hitman interrogates and executes a man after eating his Big Kahuna Burger, is kind of an out-of-body experience.

"Despite all this, I want Hegseth to succeed," said Colbert. "He's the Secretary of Defense. If he succeeds, that means America succeeds. So please join me in prayer. God, I'm talking to you. You talking to me? Are you talking to me? War is like a box of chocolates. I'm tired of these MFing sins on my MFing soul."

Spotify has updated its iOS and Android apps to look better on tablets and foldable phones.

The new design, launched for everyone on Thursday, makes better use of the extra space you get on a tablet. For example, on an iPad, you can browse in a larger window on the left side of the screen while still having your now playing sidebar on the right, with album art, controls, and even lyrics.

SEE ALSO: Spotify now sells physical books

The app is also more adaptive than before; switch from portrait to landscape mode and it will reconfigure the interface (instead of just resizing it) to make it look better in a particular move.

The design is adaptive, and the interface will accomodate to vertical or horizontal orientation as needed. Credit: Spotify

That sidebar on the right can be collapsed with a touch of the down arrow in the top left, or expanded to fit the entire display. Besides hosting controls and information on the song that's currently playing, it also has additional content down below, including related videos, information about the artist, and more. Another improvement is a prominent "Switch to Video/Audio" button.

“Tablets give you more room to explore, so we designed it to let you browse and discover new favorites alongside what’s already playing," Nicole Burrow, head of design at Spotify, said in a statement. "The goal was simple: Wherever you open Spotify, it should feel unmistakably like Spotify.”

The timing of the update is notable, as this update makes the Spotify app better not only on tablets but also on foldable devices. Apple is rumored to be working on its first foldable phone, the iPhone Fold, with a launch window late in the year, and other phone makers have been introducing foldable phones at an increasing pace.

In the first moments of The Mandalorian and Grogu's final trailer, we see the little guy sitting and meditating in a forest, in an image we've seen before, in an Empire Strikes Back galaxy far, far away...

Directed and co-written by The Mandalorian series creator Jon Favreau, with Lucasfilm president Dave Filoni, The Mandalorian and Grogu sees bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) hitting the big screen, teaming up with an early days New Republic and Colonel Ward (Sigourney Weaver) to eliminate Imperial war criminals. (Like the show, the film is set after Return of the Jedi and before The Force Awakens.)

Unveiled at CinemaCon, the trailer is action-packed, with plenty of Star Wars-level battles on an array of planets, and a herd of AT-ATs. But it also feels like one last ride for our two heroes...

The promise of AI is doing more with less effort. The reality sometimes — err, often — looks like juggling multiple apps to get there. 1min.AI aims to simplify that by bringing multiple AI models and tools into a single platform, and its Advanced Business Plan lifetime subscription is on sale for $79.97 (reg. $540) for a limited time.

Instead of switching between separate apps for writing, image editing, and document processing, 1min.AI puts a wide range of features in one place. You can generate and refine text, create and edit images, analyze PDFs, and even work with audio or video tools, all from the same interface. It supports multiple AI models, including GPT, Claude, and Gemini, so you can choose the one that best fits your task, whether that’s drafting content, optimizing websites, or brainstorming ideas.

For content creators and professionals, that kind of consolidation can save you so much time. Tools like article generators, paraphrasers, and summarizers can help overcome writer’s block, while image, video, audio, and document tools add flexibility across different workflows. That said, like most AI platforms, it works best as an assistant rather than a replacement, so outputs may still need editing and review.

The plan uses a monthly credit system to determine how much you can generate across tools. With this tier, you get 4 million credits per month, which can translate to over a million words, thousands of SEO keywords, or more than a thousand images, depending on usage.

You can also share the subscription with up to 20 team members, with built-in tools that make collaboration easier.

If your setup already involves multiple AI tools, having them in one place can simplify things, or at least cut down on the tab-switching.
