AI is becoming a major part of our digital lives, and Microsoft has adopted the new tech with open arms. So much so that Microsoft now offers a huge range of AI tools straight from Windows 11, led by Microsoft’s new digital assistant, Copilot. 

The real advantage of AI is that it can help you do your work faster. AI tools, at least right now, are excellent at helping users save time, so they can spend that time on other tasks. And, many more AI tools that can help you save time are on the way – so expect to be able to save more and more time over the next few months and years.

Curious about how you can save time in Windows 11 using AI? Here are the best features right now.

Simple search features

The first thing that AI tools became reasonably good at is search. To be clear, AI tools do hallucinate information – which is to say that when it comes to search, they sometimes confidently get things wrong. That means that you should double-check important information, especially if the information is highly consequential.

That said, Copilot is still pretty good at search, and it provides sources for its information too – so you can click on the sources and double-check that the information is accurate as needed. Plus, Copilot allows you to ask follow-up questions, which is a whole lot quicker than having to search multiple topics on the web.

Summarize documents

With AI in Windows 11, you don’t necessarily need to read full, long documents. Instead, you can ask Copilot to summarize documents for you, and this can be done in a few different apps and services. For example, you can ask Copilot to summarize articles in Microsoft Edge, or ask it to summarize documents in Word. 

Image creation features

There are some handy image creation AI tools in Windows too – and more tools are coming. For now, you can use Microsoft Designer to create images for you. Simply input a text prompt, and Designer will create an image. From there, you can edit the image, and refine it – both using AI tools, and using manual graphic design tools. 

Generate text

As you might expect, Copilot can generate text of its own too, which can be helpful in a variety of settings. For example, from the Pages app, you can enable Copilot and ask it to generate text by describing the kind of text that you want the assistant to create. From there, you can have Copilot change the tone of the text, or ask it to rewrite the text based on additional prompts. Then, simply hit the “Add to page” button and your new text will show up in your document.

Recall (upcoming)

One of the most powerful upcoming AI tools for Windows 11 will first show up in Microsoft’s new generation of computers, called Microsoft Copilot+ PCs. These computers feature powerful new AI processors that can handle local AI features, like Recall.

Recall essentially keeps an eye on the things you do on your computer, and allows you to easily find documents, websites, images, and more, by asking Copilot about them. Remember when you found a recipe you wanted to cook a few weeks ago, but now you can’t find the web page again? That’s the kind of thing that Recall will be able to help with. Using the tool, you should be able to simply ask Copilot to help you find it, and it’ll look through the log of what you’ve done on your computer.

You’ll be able to turn this feature off if you wish, and set which apps and websites it works with, or doesn’t work with. And, Microsoft is quick to point out that these snapshots are stored locally, and not uploaded to the cloud.

Cocreate (upcoming)

Cocreate takes image creation tools to the next level. Using Cocreate on Copilot+ PCs, you’ll be able to sketch designs in paint, and couple that information with text prompts to have Cocreate create a new image for you. The feature will also be available in Microsoft Photos, and could be perfect for those who simply need graphics for a document, for example. 

The Moon is getting closer to full, with most of its surface now lit up as it moves through the Waxing Gibbous phase. There's a lot more to see tonight than a week ago, so be sure to look up tonight.

What is today's Moon phase?

As of Monday, Oct. 19, NASA's Daily Moon Guide tracker tells us the Moon is in the Waxing Gibbous phase, with 56% of its surface visible.

Tonight, you should be able to spot the Mare Crisium and Mare Fecunditatis without any visual aids. If you have binoculars you'll also see the Endymion Crater, the Alphonsus Crater, and the Appenine Mountains. Plus, if you have a telescope, you'll also see the Apollo 15 and 16 landing spots, plus the Rima Hyginus.

When is the next Full Moon?

The next Full Moon will take place on October 25 or 26, depending on your timezone.

What are Moon phases?

The Moon takes around 29.5 days to travel around Earth, and its appearance changes throughout the month. As it moves around our planet, we see different amounts of its sunlit side, from a slim crescent to the quarter phases and eventually a Full Moon. It then begins the cycle again. As NASA explains, these phases are caused by the Moon's changing position relative to Earth and the Sun.

The eight phases are:

New Moon - The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).

First Quarter - Half of the Moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-Moon.

Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it's not quite full yet.

Full Moon - The whole face of the Moon is illuminated and fully visible.

Waning Gibbous - The Moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)

Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-Moon, but now the left side is lit.

Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.

If your reading list revolves around the Night Court, clear your schedule and prep your wallet. Target is turning its aisles into Prythian with a massive merchandise lineup and late-night celebrations for the sixth installment in Sarah J. Maas’s A Court of Thorns and Roses series, A Court of Splintered Harmony.

The ACOTAR Collection officially landed on shelves at Target on Oct. 11, giving fans a head start on collecting themed gear. And soon, select stores will host late-night release parties where readers can purchase the new hardcover right as the clock strikes midnight.

Most of Target's ACOTAR collection is exclusive — and most items sit under $20. The lineup spans BrüMate tumblers, Fine'ry fragrances, Alex and Ani jewelry, Suriel teas, graphic apparel, kettle corn, and a tabletop game.

Party perks and gifts

On Oct. 26 from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. local time, approximately 250 Target stores nationwide will host an official A Court of Splintered Harmony midnight release event. Attendees can test their series knowledge with themed trivia, take photos, browse the merchandise line, and hang out with fellow fans.

• First 100 guests — The first 100 people in line receive a free commemorative entry ticket and a complimentary Bryaxis keychain, allowing them to buy the book at midnight.

• Sarah J. Maas gift with purchase — Anyone who buys A Court of Splintered Harmony at Target receives an exclusive gift designed in partnership with author Sarah J. Maas herself (while supplies last).

• Hasbro game gift — Guests who purchase an ACOTAR Hasbro game during the event get a free mystery gift with purchase while supplies last.

Store pickup for online preorders will not be available at midnight. If you preordered for store pickup, your copy will be ready when doors open for regular business hours on Oct. 27.

To shop the full collection or check if your local store is hosting a midnight release party, head over to Target online or the Target app. Gather your Inner Circle, brush up on your Suriel trivia, and hit up your nearest store on Oct. 26 to grab Book Six the second it drops.

TL;DR: Fandango and Lionsgate are streaming all five Hunger Games movies for free on Fandango’s ad-supported platform through Oct. 31. Fans can rewatch the entire saga at zero cost before tickets open for the new prequel.

If you need a reason to revisit Panem's most brutal arena battles, Lionsgate and Fandango just handed you one on a silver platter.

In a first-of-its-kind streaming takeover, Fandango is hosting all five previous Hunger Games films on its ad-supported streaming service. So you can catch up on the entire global blockbuster franchise without spending a single cent or using a credit card. However, the free streaming event runs for a limited time from Oct. 16-31.

You can stream the entire theatrical collection in one place:

• The Hunger Games

• The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

• The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1

• The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2

• The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes

Are there ads, and is there extra content?

Yes, the films are available on Fandango’s free, ad-supported streaming service with limited commercials.

The takeover also features exclusive Hunger Games-themed promotional content and special moments surrounding each film to immerse fans deeper into Panem before the next movie hits the big screen.

The streaming marathon is designed to build hype for Lionsgate’s upcoming theatrical release, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, which arrives exclusively in theaters on Nov. 20.

SEE ALSO: The first 20 minutes of 'The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping' blew me away

By bringing the full library to Fandango, fans can rewatch the saga and then purchase movie tickets for the new release directly on the same platform as soon as showtimes go on sale. Based on Suzanne Collins’ best-selling novel, the prequel is directed by Francis Lawrence and takes place 24 years before the events of the original Hunger Games.

It follows a 16-year-old Haymitch Abernathy (Joseph Zada) from District 12 on the morning of the reaping for the 50th Annual Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell. Inside the arena, Haymitch forms an alliance with fellow tribute Maysilee Donner (McKenna Grace) and a broader coalition to challenge President Snow's (Ralph Fiennes) control over the Capitol.

You can watch all five films directly through Fandango’s streaming platform on your browser, smart TV, or mobile app by logging into or creating a free Fandango account.

TL;DR: Burger King is launching a Hello Kitty collab on Oct. 20. Each King Jr. Kids' Meal will feature one of six exclusive Hello Kitty and Friends by Sanrio toys, including a special golden Hello Kitty toy.

If fast-food toy hype usually passes you by, Sanrio collectors will want to pay attention to this week's drop: Burger King is partnering with Hello Kitty and Friends for a nationwide, limited-time King Jr. Meal takeover starting Oct. 20.

The collab features six collectible figurines packaged in mystery blind boxes — each depicting a popular Sanrio character wearing a miniature Burger King crown and holding menu items.

What’s inside the collection

The blind-box lineup spotlights six popular Sanrio characters:

• Hello Kitty

• My Melody

• Kuromi

• Cinnamoroll

• Keroppi

• Golden Hello Kitty (a rare pick that unlocks the entire six-piece set)

Every order includes a themed King Jr. Meal bag and an exclusive Hello Kitty cardboard crown, while supplies last.

For hardcore collectors, Burger King is also hosting a one-day claw machine event at its Downey, CA location on Oct. 23 (starting at 11 a.m. PST). Guests buying a King Jr. Meal get a claw machine attempt — including a shot at winning a solid 14-karat gold-plated Hello Kitty figurine.

"We love seeing Hello Kitty and Friends get the royal treatment at Burger King, with each character sporting their own iconic BK crown," said Jill Koch, Chief Brand Officer, Sanrio, Inc. "Bringing these beloved characters into the King Jr. Kids' Meal in such a playful way creates something special for fans of all ages to enjoy."

Cleaning up pet hair is one chore that simply can't be avoided when you've got a furry friend. That's why it's smart to have a good vacuum cleaner on hand. Models like the Shark Rocket Pet Plus are helpful for picking up fur lodged in carpets or rugs, and while it's usually priced at $199.99, you can grab it for $149.99 right now at Amazon.

This deal saves you $50. It won't be on sale for long, considering it's tagged as a "limited time deal." With that in mind, you'll want to grab it quickly at this price before it goes back up.

The Shark Rocket Pet Plus has a versatile design that converts from an upright stick vacuum to a handheld for use on stairs, furniture, in your car, and more. It even comes with a Duster Crevice Tool and a Pet Multi-Tool to help you reach into smaller spaces and pick up embedded pet hair from soft surfaces.

Since it's corded, there's no need to worry about keeping it charged up, either. Just plug it in and take it around the whole room for a thorough clean. It's lightweight as well — weighing under 10 pounds — with a slim design that makes it easy to move around and store once finished. Plus, it features LED headlights that can help you spot hair or dust in darker areas so nothing gets missed.

If the Shark Rocket Pet Plus seems like the perfect vacuum for you, don't miss out on this limited-time deal at Amazon.

TL;DR: The Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection Day (Espeon) and Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection Night (Umbreon) are available to preorder now on Amazon.

If you thought Pokémon TCG collectors were already losing their minds over 30th Celebration Booster Bundles and Elite Trainer Boxes, Amazon just opened preorders for the crown jewel of the anniversary expansion: the 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collections.

Both high-end boxes are currently available for preorder at Amazon for under $700 ahead of their official Nov. 6 release date.

As the ultimate flagship products for the 30th Celebration set, both Ultra-Premium Collections come packed with 29 30th Celebration booster packs, one Classic Collection booster pack, custom metal coins, deck boxes, card sleeves, and damage-counter dice. Of course, the real driver behind the hype comes from the exclusive promo cards:

• Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection Day (Espeon): Includes the exclusive Espeon ex promo card with a Daytime Pikachu ex promo card and an Espeon playmat.

• Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection Night (Umbreon): Includes the exclusive Umbreon ex promo card with a Futuristic-rarity Pikachu ex promo card and an Umbreon playmat.

The big question when buying trading cards on Amazon is whether or not you're actually getting value for money. Amazon is a reliable pick for finding readily available stock, but you often pay above market price.

TCGplayer's market price for the Day Box is currently $561.50, so there's a decent markup from Amazon here. The market price for the Night Box is $617.40, so the convenience of Amazon actually makes sense in this case.

TL;DR: Target’s exclusive Owala holiday collection dropped on Oct. 18. Eight new colorways are available to purchase this weekend.

If your emotional support water bottle is due for a festive refresh, set an alarm on your phone right now: the first of several Owala holiday drops is officially live at Target from Oct. 18. These will inevitably sell out quickly, so be warned.

The Target-exclusive collection spans eight colorways for the standard FreeSip 24oz and the contoured FreeSip Sway 30oz:

FreeSip 24oz

• Cozy Does It: A soft cream base paired with warm, knit-inspired accents.

• Bear Hug: Earthy brown tones with a teddy-bear plush aesthetic.

• Toile Be Home: Elegant cream toile print featuring delicate blue floral patterns.

• Take a Bow: Festive pastel pink wrapped with a subtle ribbon motif.

• Poinsettia: Metallic shimmer burgundy-red designed for the holiday table.

• Wintergreen: Deep pine green with a matte, frosted finish.

• Rose Quartz: Soft translucent pink hue with metallic undertones.

• Lightly Toasted: Warm golden-oat colorway with a matte finish.

Limited-edition Owala drops at Target tend to disappear from shelves within hours. Just ask anyone desperately trying to hunt down Owala’s exclusive Pokémon bottles. We don't think this drop will have Pokémon-levels of interest, because nothing really does. But be warned: You might still need to act fast.

TikTok has backtracked on restricting the Musk documentary's advertising account just two days after implementing the decision.

On Friday, the account was suspended from purchasing ads to promote the documentary, which is critical of the world's richest man and that Musk himself has referred to as a "hit piece" — although Mashable's Matt Binder described it as "brutal and accurate" in his review.

TikTok lifted the restriction on Sunday, informing the documentary's studio, Bleecker Street, and citing an "error," per The Hollywood Reporter.

SEE ALSO: 'Musk' review: Alex Gibney's near 4-hour doc is a scathing look at Elon Musk

This isn't the first promotional issue the four-hour documentary has faced. Last month, it was reported that YouTube and Meta were refusing to run ads for the trailer, before both companies reversed their decisions following a wave of social media backlash (YouTube claimed ads for Musk were "temporarily restricted," while Meta described its decision as an "error").

Alex Gibney's documentary tracks the Tesla and SpaceX founder's rise to power, featuring interviews with his father, former partners, and Tesla founder Martin Eberhard. It opened last weekend before expanding its run this weekend, grossing a little over $300,000 per The Wrap.

Mashable reached out to TikTok for comment, and a spokesperson said the account is now able to purchase ads, so long as it complies with the company's policy on political advertising.

With the holidays right around the corner, it can be a busy travel period for some. That's where a solid pair of headphones comes in handy for keeping busy with music, podcasts, and more while you're on a flight or a long road trip.

The Sennheiser Momentum 4s are among our favorite headphones for travelers for their battery life, and this is a great time to grab them, as Amazon's got the sleek white pair on sale right now.

As of Oct. 19, these white headphones have dropped from $299.99 to $206.61, saving you $93.38 overall. Unfortunately, only the white pair are down to this price right now, but if they're the ones that caught your eye, you're in luck. Your purchase even comes with a bonus 90-day free trial of an Amazon Music Unlimited Individual Plan, which is perfect for testing during long holiday travel periods.

The Sennheiser Momentum 4 will last a long flight, and then some, as they boast up to 60 hours of battery life. Mashable's Bethany Allard also adds in our roundup of the best noise-canceling headphones for flying that they "feel more thoughtfully designed for travel, with ear cups that have a slightly flatter profile than you'll find on the Sony XM5s, and an included airplane audio adapter in the case."

Allard also notes that while their "ANC doesn't quite match up to Sony's [...] on a plane, we doubt you'll notice a drastic difference, especially if you're listening to audio." And speaking of listening, they offer "incredibly balanced sound quality," so music, audiobooks, podcasts, and more will sound crisp and clear.

Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones are currently tagged with "limited-time deal," so be quick to save at Amazon.

If your morning routine revolves around seasonal espresso shots and viral coffee tumblers, mark your calendar: Starbucks’ 2026 holiday menu officially launches on Nov. 5, bringing back fan favorites and fresh treats.

That's exciting news, but it's not the main draw for seasoned coffee lovers and cup collectors. The Peppermint Mocha is great and all, but it's not Red Cup Day. This is arguably the biggest day on the coffee lovers' calendar. Starbucks hands out a free, limited-edition red reusable cup with every qualifying handcrafted holiday beverage order on this special day. And you guessed it: fans and collectors go wild.

Starbucks has officially confirmed the date for the holiday menu launch (Nov. 5), but we're still waiting for an announcement on the exact date for Red Cup Day 2026. That's not to say that there aren't rumors.

Based on historical release patterns — which consistently land on the Thursday of the week following the menu rollout — industry insiders and deal trackers are predicting Red Cup Day 2026 to fall on Nov. 12. We're not making any promises, but that's the word on the grapevine.

How to score a free reusable cup

Getting your hands on the free collectible cup is pretty straightforward, but we should note that supplies run out notoriously fast.

To get your free cup, buy any handcrafted holiday or seasonal beverage (hot, iced, or blended) in any size. The promo applies across in-cafe purchases, drive-thru orders, mobile orders on the Starbucks app, and delivery via Uber Eats, DoorDash, or Grubhub. Once you have your reusable red cup, bringing it back on future visits saves you $0.10 per drink.

Just be prepared for heavy app delays and long drive-thru lines on launch morning — mobile ordering at least 20 minutes ahead is non-negotiable if you want to dodge the rush.

TL;DR: The Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection Day (Espeon) and Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection Night (Umbreon) are available to preorder now on Amazon.

Trump (James Austin Johnson) crashes a meeting between Prime Minister Andy Burnham (George Fouracres) and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy (Freddie Meredith) in the SNL UK cold open above, and he makes a request to swap jobs.

"I take over the the UK, you take America," says Trump/Johnson. "I tell you that place is a real mess, you're gonna hate it. It's an awful, awful job. It's a terrible place full of disgusting people. I don't know what the hell happened."

After Burnham refuses, Trump turns his attention to Zelenskyy — but the answer is still no. "Trust me, you don't want my job, it's awful," says Zelenskyy/Meredith. "So much of it involves spending time with you."

Starbucks is teaming up with Disney for a 20-piece Starbucks x Winnie the Pooh collection celebrating 100 years of the Hundred Acre Wood. The limited-edition lineup drops on Oct. 20, delivering honey-drip cold cups, ceramic beehive mugs, and plush Bearista keychains.

It's an incredibly cute collection that is bound to cause a stir, but there's a catch. We hate to break it to you like this, but the collection is exclusive to the Asia-Pacific region.

The 20-piece range mixes aesthetic drinkware with lifestyle accessories:

• Hunny Pot Tumblers and Cold Cups: Cold cups with honey-drip lids, golden-yellow straw toppers, and Pooh illustrations.

• Ceramic Beehive Mug: A textured, beehive-shaped ceramic mug featuring Pooh stuck in a honey pot entry.

• Bearista Costume Keychains and Phone Straps: Collectible Starbucks Bearistas dressed in plush costumes of Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, and Tigger.

• Packable Tote Bag: A reusable Hundred Acre Wood tote that folds into its own matching pouch.

We want everything, but here's where it gets complicated.

How to buy this collection?

If you live in North America or Europe, you won't find these on local Starbucks shelves.

On launch day (Oct. 20), the collection will be available at participating Starbucks coffeehouses in Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Unfortunately for collectors elsewhere, the secondary market is going to be your best bet.

Exporters will begin listing inventory from Oct. 20, but you should expect a significant markup over retail prices on high-demand pieces like the ceramic beehive mug and plush Bearista straps. Head over to eBay and good luck.

If you desperately want official Disney x Starbucks drinkware without paying reseller markups, the Disney Store regularly stocks collaboration tumblers that ship directly to U.S. and UK addresses. In fact, we've spotted a cute Winnie the Pooh tumbler going for $27.99.

TL;DR: The Magic: The Gathering Marvel Darkhold Destiny Arcanum Bundle is available to preorder for $99.99 at Amazon. That's over $100 below TCGplayer's current $200 market price.

Darkhold Destiny’s release date is still some time away, but we’re already seeing some major preorder price drops.

As of Oct. 19, the Magic: The Gathering Marvel Darkhold Destiny Arcanum Bundle is available to preorder for just $99.99 at Amazon. That's $100.01 cheaper than TCGplayer's $200 market price, where the cheapest unopened listing is also $200 with shipping included.

Admittedly, this market price almost definitely won’t hold for long, as there are currently only two sellers with just three recorded sellers — meaning it should taper off once more listings enter the market.

That said, the Amazon listing is not through a third party, which means this is very likely the best price we’ll get for the foreseeable future. While Amazon’s standard preorder price guarantee is included, bear in mind that any sales will be final, with no option for returns. 

SEE ALSO: Magic: The Gathering's Marvel Super Heroes Draft Night box is under market price — save $30 at Amazon

The Arcanum Bundle comes with eight Darkhold Destiny Booster Packs, one Collector Booster, and three Traditional Foil Mythic Rare promo cards. One of these is a mechanically unique card exclusive to this box. The other two feature special alternate artwork, selected from six possible cards.

There's also a collection of 30 Basic Lands, including 10 full-art versions, split evenly between foil and non-foil cards — with an oversized Spindown life counter and a matching storage box completing the package. What’s more, the included Collector Booster will grant you some added premium card treatments and a chance of finding an ultra-rare Headliner card, although the odds are less than 1%.

The Darkhold Destiny expansion comes out on April 9, 2027, and will bring a more supernatural story to Magic’s Marvel mythos, with heroes like Doctor Strange and Thor going up against Dormammu and Hela.

If you want yours as quickly as possible, you can spend $53.98 on BetterShopping4You's listing to get free delivery by Oct. 23 at the time of writing. 

The $50.98 price is officially the lowest price Amazon listings have ever offered (confirmed by the price tracker camelcamelcamel).

TCGplayer is the cheapest of all, offering a complete, unopened Poster Collection for $38.99, including shipping. That puts it only $2.21 above its estimated $36.78 market price.

The collection gives you three 30th Celebration booster packs, along with foil promo trading cards featuring the legendary Kanto birds Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. There's also a double-sided poster measuring almost 27 by 39 inches, featuring artwork from over 160 Pokémon cards.

Each booster contains five foil Pokémon cards (including a guaranteed rare Pikachu card), a foil Basic Energy card, and a code card for Pokémon TCG Live.

For those days when you want a quick and easy meal, the Ninja Crispi offers four modes — Max Crisp, Bake, Air Fry, and Recrisp — to help you out. Mashable's Samantha Mangino wrote in our roundup of the best Ninja appliances that it's also "made for meal preppers" as its design "allows you to meal prep and store food directly into glass baskets."

And since it uses glass containers for cooking, it doesn't have any PFAS, PTFE, or nonstick chemical coatings to worry about. Plus, the glass containers, crisper plates, adapter, and lids are dishwasher-safe, so cleanup afterward is quick and easy.

This deal may not be live for long, so now is the time to grab the Ninja Crispi while it's still on sale at Amazon.

TL;DR: Cadence launched The Pump ($30), a magnetic travel attachment for its refillable Capsules. Six years in the making, it features a flexible tube that fits Medium and Large sizes, an angled nozzle, and a lock-tight cap that prevents spills in your bag.

Refilling travel bottles with your favorite skincare or haircare products usually ends one of two ways: either you are stuck digging thick lotion out of a jar with your fingers, or a cheap squeeze bottle bursts inside your luggage. Design brand Cadence is smoothing out that middle ground with its newest release: The Pump.

Designed to attach directly to Cadence’s signature refillable Capsules, the $30 accessory gives you a mess-free way to dispense liquids like sunscreen, lotions, shampoos, and body oils while on the go. Instead of sticking a basic off-the-shelf plastic straw onto a jar, Cadence spent six years testing 1,023 different iterations to get the mechanics right.

The main innovation is a flexible, coiled dip tube. The tube stretches and compresses automatically inside the container, so a single pump head works seamlessly whether you screw it onto a Medium Capsule or a Large Capsule.

Operating it is simple: pull off the magnetic cap, give the fluted collar a quick half-turn to raise the pump head, and press. When you are done, twist the collar back down and drop the cap back on.

Seven heavy-duty neodymium magnets lock the cap in place, physically blocking the pump head from rising while packed away. That means no accidental squirts ruining the inside of your bag during transit. Cadence also angled the dispensing nozzle upward, directing product outward so liquids do not collect around the collar and make a mess.

Pricing and where to buy

Made from the same durable polypropylene as the original Capsules, The Pump comes in a sand colorway and works with Cadence’s interchangeable, magnetic Label Tiles so you always know what is inside.

As for what you'll pay:

• The Pump (Attachment Only) — $30

• The Pump Capsule (Medium) — $50

• The Pump Capsule (Large) — $64

You can also pair it with Cadence's Parcel organizers, which now feature customizable straps with embroidered icons for a completely personalized setup.

Your carry-on will thank you. Grab The Pump from Cadence for $30.

TL;DR: Netflix’s animated movie KPop Demon Hunters is officially joining Toca Boca World on Oct. 27 — bringing exclusive HUNTR/X and Saja Boys stage outfits, characters, and an in-game music player packed with hit tracks like "Golden."

Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters is officially bringing its style, characters, and music to Toca Boca World.

The movie has grown into a massive global phenomenon since its release in June 2025. It stands as Netflix's most popular film of all time, with over 670 million views, and spent 63 consecutive weeks in Netflix's Global Top 10. Starting Oct. 27, the app's nearly 60 million active players will get access to exclusive in-game content inspired by HUNTR/X, the Saja Boys, and other fan-favorite characters from the film.

Outfits and music

The collaboration blends everyday streetwear with high-energy K-pop stage looks, allowing players to mix and match fashion items to design their own outfits and characters. The update also adds a limited-time in-game music player featuring four chart-topping tracks directly from the movie's soundtrack:

• "Golden"

• "How It’s Done"

• "Soda Pop"

• "Your Idol"

Players can run the music player in the background to soundtrack their own stories and custom scenes inside Toca Boca World.

The partnership builds on Toca Boca’s recent pop-culture crossovers — which previously included collaborations with adidas, Conan Gray, KATSEYE, Wicked: For Good, and in-game music from artists like Olivia Rodrigo, Sienna Spiro, and TWICE. According to Spin Master, Toca Boca World players were already recreating scenes and outfits from the film before the official crossover was announced.

Mark your calendar, get your playlist ready, and prepare to give your avatar the ultimate K-pop star makeover when the event goes live.
