Last year, I said the ultra-thin Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 was the best foldable we've ever tested. That means the rumored successor device has big shoes to fill.

After months of speculation, Samsung finally confirmed that it will hold a Galaxy Unpacked event in London on July 22, where it will presumably announce its newest batch of foldable devices, among other things. While this means we haven't yet seen the follow-up to the Z Fold 7 in an official capacity, there's been enough reporting online to build a decent profile of the phone before its unveiling.

Here's everything we know about the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra so far.

As mentioned previously, everyone expects Samsung to show off the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra in London on July 22. That means the phone will most likely launch shortly after that, as per usual. As for its price, last year Samsung charged $1,999 for the Z Fold 7, which was itself a $100 price increase over the previous model.

There haven't been any concrete reports about the price of the new Z Fold just yet, but based on the way things are going in the tech world, thanks to RAMageddon, it might be reasonable to expect an even higher price this year. If we're lucky, it might "only" be another $100 price hike. It's just hard to see it staying the same considering the market conditions right now.

Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold Wide, or Fold Ultra: Will the name change?

This is where things start getting a little confusing regarding the Z Fold series.

Multiple reports have suggested that the device will be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, with the regular Z Fold 8 name going instead to a rumored third foldable that Samsung is allegedly going to announce at the show. More on that in a bit. Given that there have now been multiple official certifications referring to the device as "Z Fold 8 Ultra," we're going to stick with that name for the duration of this article, even though Samsung hasn't confirmed it yet.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra: Design This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

There have been a bevy of leaks all but confirming the existence of the new "Wide Fold" phone, alongside the Z Fold 8 Ultra and the Z Flip 8. Prominent leaker Sonny Dickson, for example, posted photos of some dummy units that very clearly show a new device that looks a lot like the Z Fold 7 next to one that looks like the Z Flip 7, and one that doesn't look like any Samsung foldable we've seen before.

Last year, the Z Fold 7 had a 6.5-inch outer display and an 8-inch unfolded inner display, and all signs point to Samsung maintaining a size profile similar to that for the Z Fold 8. What differentiates it from the "Wide Fold" phone is that the latter would have a smaller 5.4-inch outer display alongside a 7.6-inch inner display with a 4:3 aspect ratio.

You might wonder why Samsung is doing that. Well, that would be because Apple is reportedly working on an iPhone Fold to launch late this year with a wider design than book-style foldables like the Z Fold 7 and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Thus, Samsung's "Wide Fold" device is clearly gearing up to compete with Apple's handset. There have been leaked images of an iPhone Fold dummy case, and it does look a lot like the wide phone in the earlier Samsung dummy image.

So, expect a head-to-head battle between the Z Fold 8 Wide and the iPhone Fold Ultra later this year.

The Z Fold 7 was impressive last year because of its incredibly svelte size for a foldable; it measured in at just 8.9mm when folded and merely 4.2mm when unfolded, with a light weight of 215g. We don't yet know how much smaller the Z Fold 8 Ultra will be, if at all, but one Korean news report suggested it could be even lighter, coming in at 200g. That would be very exciting, as the thinness of last year's model was a huge reason it stood (and continues to stand) above most of the competition.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra: Specs

We don't yet know a lot about what will be inside the Z Fold 8 Ultra, unfortunately. But there is a little bit of info we can chew on for now.

Namely, the same Korean news report with the weight information also suggested Samsung could upgrade the battery cell from 4,400mAh to 5,000mAh. The battery life in the Z Fold 7 was really the only disappointing aspect of the device, so this would be a hugely welcome change. It could work in tandem with a new chipset, most likely a Snapdragon chip like the powerful ones seen in the Galaxy S26 line earlier this year.

That increased battery size might also come with up to 45W charging speeds, which would be lovely. Other than that, we don't know what to expect from the Z Fold 8 Ultra in terms of everyday performance. That said, the Z Fold 7 was quite a nice phone to use, so Samsung doesn't need to fix what isn't broken in that regard.

Lastly, an intriguing update from Dutch outlet Galaxy Club suggested that Samsung could somewhat dramatically improve the rear camera array on the Z Fold 8 Ultra. For reference, the Z Fold 7 had a 200MP main shooter to go with a 12MP ultrawide lens and a 10MP telephoto lens.

If this report is to be believed, Samsung is keeping the 200MP lens, but upping the ultrawide lens from 12MP to 50MP, and the telephoto from 10MP to 12MP. It's hard to say without doing any testing how much of an effect that will have, but these new lenses should produce sharper images, at least in theory. You can probably also expect at least a few new AI image editing tricks this year, to go along with better hardware.

The reveal of the Z Fold 8 Ultra is still a couple of weeks away, but at least now we have a basic idea of what to expect from the phone, even if its name is confusing.

Nine months ago, OpenAI announced the launch of its brand new web browser known as Atlas. Now the AI giant has announced it is sunsetting the product.

OpenAI's James Sun, a member of the product staff, announced a slew of OpenAI updates Thursday. These included the new ChatGPT 5.6 and a new desktop app called ChatGPT Work.

But then at the end of the announcement, Sun revealed that the company was shutting down Atlas — having learned what it could from user behavior. 

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

"All these capabilities were built on what we learned from Atlas users who took a leap of faith on a new browser," Sun said. "You taught us how agents can help make browsing and doing work on the open web better, and we are applying these learnings to these new products."

Atlas was the company's bid to build a browser with AI built in, via a ChatGPT integration. Users could prompt ChatGPT to interact directly with the web page they were currently on.

SEE ALSO: ChatGPT’s AI market share slips to a historic new low

The new ChatGPT Work, meanwhile is basically Atlas plus.

ChatGPT Work focuses on AI agents. For example, users can provide ChatGPT Work with tasks involving documents or files, and the AI assistant will get to work on those tasks in the background. These include both local tasks and online tasks, which can be completed through ChatGPT Work's built-in web browser.

In short, the idea is that ChatGPT Work brings more AI functionality to users' computers, including Atlas' featureset, rendering a standalone web browser unnecessary.

OpenAI's current target date for shutting the Atlas browser down is August 9. 

Sometimes it feels like the European Union is the only entity on Earth that's interested in reigning in big tech companies.

Case in point: On Thursday, the European Commission preliminarily found that Meta apps like Facebook and Instagram were in breach of the EU's Digital Services Act, on the grounds that they feature "addictive design." The commission noted features such as autoplaying videos, infinite scrolling, personalized recommendations, and more as evidence that these apps encourage users to keep using them.

Meta is facing a possible fine of up to 6 percent of its annual turnover, per CNBC. Given that this is a preliminary finding, there is presumably still time for Meta to get out of paying the fine.

"We disagree with these preliminary findings, which don't accurately take into account the significant steps we’ve taken to protect teens," a Meta spokesperson told CNBC.

In fairness to Meta, the company did recently launch new settings for teen accounts across its services. With teen accounts, parents can block their kids from using the apps at night and set daily time limits. Meta also told CNBC that it "[shares] the European Commission’s commitment to providing teens with safe, positive online experiences" and will continue to work with the organization.

The EU has been a watchdog for big tech companies for years, in the absence of much scrutiny from the U.S. government. Earlier this year, the EU also accused Meta of not doing enough to keep children off its apps, and it also just recently won a lengthy legal battle with Google over anti-competitive practices.

China flew and then recovered a new Long March rocket booster, a first for the country and a key step toward cheaper, reusable spaceflight.

China's state-run Xinhua news agency reported Friday that the Long March-10B rocket lifted off from Hainan Province and placed whatever it was carrying — the announcement did not say — into orbit on its debut flight. After the upper part of the rocket continued toward space, the booster — the powerful first stage that does the heavy lifting at launch — turned around and flew back toward Earth.

Instead of crashing into the ocean, the booster steered itself onto a special ship at sea, where a huge net caught it and left it hanging in place. Engineers described the system as the world's first cross-shaped, high-strength "arresting" net for rockets, paired with hooks on the booster that help it grab. You can watch a video of the booster's catch below.

Reusing boosters can sharply cut launch costs, let rockets fly more often, and give countries an edge in the intensifying space race. The United States — especially through companies like SpaceX — has pushed reusability for years, and China is now moving to match that capability. For national space programs and private companies, flying the same hardware again and again turns space access from a rare, expensive event into something closer to routine transportation.

SEE ALSO: A NASA spacecraft just woke up from a nearly yearlong nap

SpaceX first proved this kind of reuse was possible in Dec. 2015, when one of its Falcon 9 rockets launched satellites and then steered the first-stage booster back to a landing pad. The booster plunged back through the atmosphere, fired its engines to slow down, and touched down upright rather than falling into the ocean. 

Since then, SpaceX has proven it can also catch a Starship booster with giant mechanical arms, called "chopsticks," at the launchpad. Blue Origin also successfully landed a New Glenn booster on a barge about eight months ago — before the rocket exploded in May, resulting in a disastrous setback for the company. 

According to Xinhua, the Long March-10B's booster went through a six-minute "extreme return journey" after it separated from the upper stage. It coasted, adjusted its position, fired its engines to slow down, and used the air itself to brake before it reached the ship.

Waiting below was a large sea-based platform delivered in late 2025, Xinhua said. The vessel measures about 470-feet-long and 160-feet-wide. A tall tower anchors the net system, while sensors like LIDAR — a type of laser-based rangefinder — track the falling booster's path and angle in real time.

Rather than having landing legs, China's new system had the booster fly straight into a massive net. Specialized cables then absorbed the booster's energy and left it hanging motionless in the center, in a fully automated process, according to officials quoted by Xinhua.

Engineers say this catch approach lets them simplify the booster itself. By skipping heavy landing gear and other equipment, they can lighten the rocket and free up more room to carry satellites, the sources said.

The Long March-10B, a liquid-fueled rocket, stands over 200 feet tall and about 16.5 feet wide, according to Xinhua. It produces close to 1,000 U.S. tons of thrust at liftoff and weighs roughly 840 tons when fully fueled. In its reusable mode, it can carry up to 18 tons of cargo to low-Earth orbit — the region of space around the planet where many communications and Earth-watching satellites fly.

Chinese officials say the rocket targets the growing commercial launch market, where companies want to send up networks of satellites quickly and at lower cost. The Long March-10B can handle jobs like creating satellite internet constellations.

Chen Muye, from the state-owned China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, said the maiden flight marks a breakthrough in low-cost, heavy-lift reusable rocketry for China and is meant to boost the country's commercial space competitiveness. He added that the technology will also support China's future crewed rocket program.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup returns for more quarter-final action today. This time Spain take on Belgium — a major clash between two star-studded sides.

Spain have dominated some games but did struggle against underdogs Cape Verde and had to battle for a last-minute winner against Portugal. Belgium looked very rusty in their opening fixtures, settling for multiple draws. They did however come through against a tough Senegal side and then smash USA in the Round of 16, so perhaps momentum is with them.

Leading lady Inde Navarrette's performance as Nikki has been celebrated by audiences and critics alike (including Mashable's own Kristy Puchko). Even horror icon Stephen King said he can't stop thinking about the film's blend of horror and humor.

If you missed out on the twisted flick in theaters, it's officially available to watch at home this month. Here are all the details you need to know to watch Obsession.

What is Obsession about?

Obsession is a classic case of "be careful what you wish for." It follows lonely young man Bear (Michael Johnston) who's crushing on obsesssing over his friend Nikki (Navarrette). He's not very skilled in talking to women, let alone dating, so when he gets his hands on a "One Wish Willow" that promises to make his dream come true, he wishes for Nikki to love him more than anyone else. As you can imagine, things don't go as planned.

Check out the official trailer below.

How to watch Obsession at home Credit: Focus Features

As of June 30, Obsession is available to watch at home. You can buy it or rent it at digital-on-demand retailers for as low as $19.99, or you can wait a little longer to stream it on Peacock. See all the details below.

Buy or rent it on digital

A little over a month after its theatrical release, Obsession made its digital debut on June 30, 2026. That means you can buy or rent the movie from on-demand retailers. If you choose to rent, you'll get 30 days to watch the film and just 48 hours to finish it once you start. If you choose to buy it, then it's yours to keep and watch forever.

Here are some quick links to rent or purchase the film. Note that these prices will likely drop once the film hits streaming.

• Apple TV — buy for $24.99, rent for $19.99

• Fandango at Home — buy for $24.99, rent for $19.99

• Google Play — buy for $24.99, rent for $19.99

• Prime Video — buy for $24.99, rent for $19.99

• YouTube — buy for $24.99, rent for $19.99

Stream it on Peacock

Obsession will officially make its streaming debut on Peacock on July 17 — earlier than we anticipated. The NBC Universal streaming service is the first stop for Focus Features films out of the theater. Based on other recent Focus Features films (Song Sung Blue, Hamnet, Bugonia), we originally guessed it would hit Peacock in August 2026, but we're thrilled to be able to watch it even sooner.

Note that Focus Features' licensing deal gives Netflix a 10-month streaming window after the film's initial Peacock debut, before sending it back to Peacock. If you have a Netflix subscription, you could wait a little longer and stream Obsession without having to sign up for another service.

While the cheapest Peacock subscription costs just $7.99 per month, it unfortunately won't grant you access to theatrical releases. Instead, you'll need at least Peacock Premium, which costs $10.99 per month. Before you sign up, be sure to check out the best ways to save some money on a subscription below.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup isn't just causing a spike in activity on Tinder — hookup app Feeld is experiencing changes, too.

While matching behavior remained stable, the app told Mashable that several host cities experienced increases in "meaningful connections" (matches where both users are actively engaging with each other, rather than just viewing profiles or sending a like) on match days.

Meaningful connections in Miami and Kansas City are both up nine percent, and Dallas and Boston are up seven percent each. Seattle and Houston have seen smaller increases, 4.3 and 2.8 percent, respectively.

SEE ALSO: The best hookup apps for 2026: I swiped until my thumb hurt

There are more visitors scrolling through Feeld overall: International users are up 72 percent in Atlanta and 15 percent in Dallas.

Feeld users may also notice a shift in profiles as the World Cup is underway. In New York City, there's been an 88 percent increase in daters mentioning soccer as an interest, with mentions of soccer, FIFA, and the World Cup up 97 percent year-over-year across the U.S.

International Feeld users are also adding new phrases to profiles that locals are seeing. International users are mentioning "GGG," or "good, giving, and game," 2.61 times more in Houston and 2.32 times in Dallas, compared with local users. Mentions of ethical non-monogamy, meanwhile, are 1.9 times more common with visitors than locals in Miami, and 1.6 times more in Dallas.

Feeld's 2025 RAW report found that sports were among Gen Z's 10 fastest-growing interests, so it's not surprising that the World Cup is impacting how daters are finding hookups.

"An emphasis on experiences, being sociable, and forging intimacy through structured activities and clubs helps understand why more people are vocal about sport," said Professor of Ethics at the University of Leeds, Dr. Luke Brunning, in a statement shared to Mashable.

"Add to that the growing representation of women in sport, as well as the visibility of nonmainstream sports on social media, and cultural emphasis on wellness, fitness, and health, and the stage is set for sport to take a more prominent place in dating."

Watching live sports is one of the most frustrating things about the streaming era. Well, that and how often we see price increases. But Fox One, the direct to consumer streaming service Fox launched last year, has made things a bit easier for sports fans.

For a limited time, you can get a month of the streaming service for free.

Through July 19, when you sign up for a month of Fox One for its usual $19.99 per month, you'll get a second month for free. That's two months of streaming for the price of one, saving you $19.99.

If you want to tune into the final matches of the FIFA World Cup 2026, this is the best way to do so in the U.S.

Fox is America's home for the World Cup, so if you haven't signed up yet, there's still time. Previously, the only way to watch live Fox channels without cable was through a pay TV provider like YouTube TV or Fubo, which cost upwards of $90 per month. Now, Fox One is the one-stop shop for the entire Fox TV portfolio, allowing you to tune into live local Fox stations, Fox Sports, FS1, and FS2. And $19.99 certainly beats paying $90.

Once the World Cup has wrapped up, you'll have access to select NFL games (including preseason), live Fox TV shows, Big Ten college football games, local news and weather, and so much more. If you don't want to stick around after the two-month promo period, be sure to cancel before your subscription auto-renews for the following month.

TL;DR: You can grab the Aero Ultra Steam on Amazon or Dreame's website starting July 15 for $799.99.

If you're tired of scrubbing sticky kitchen floors or dealing with stubborn pet messes, Dreame's newest wet/dry vacuum mop is basically built to pressure-wash your house.

Launching on July 15, the Aero Ultra Steam is the latest flagship in the company's lineup and, according to an email from the brand, the first in its class to combine high-temperature steam, hot water, and foaming detergent into one seamless system. (I'm particularly excited for this release — I have two beagles and the Dreame L60 Pro Ultra robot vacuum has literally changed my life.)

SEE ALSO: Dreame's X60 Max Ultra Complete is the best robot vacuum for pet hair I've tested. Sucks that it's so expensive.

It features a "Tri-Force" cleaning system that hits your floors with 392°F SaunaClean steam for chemical-free sanitizing, dissolves tracked-in mud and other non-mentionables with 194°F ThermoRinse hot water, and dispenses a floral-scented FoamWash to neutralize 99 percent of pet odors. (And this is all at 30kPa, Dreame's most powerful suction yet.) It also uses a specialized TangleCut 2.0 scraper to keep the brush roller tangle-free — which is non-negotiable when you're constantly cleaning up hound hair.

Bonus: You'll get 100 minutes of runtime in Eco mode, and the super-slim 3.88-inch profile makes it super easy to reach underneath your couches (or wherever) without moving all the furniture.

Fans of Audity (aka Audrey Hopkins) know her for her jubilant energy, her explosive creativity, and her surprising illustrated mash-ups. Her character designs collide with unexpected inspiration points, like Pennywise and Tinkerbell, or her husband as a merman. And the results are digital drawings that are not only winsome but also inspiring followers (13.2 million on TikTok) to create kooky characters of their own.

Out of Vidcon 2026, Audity sat down with Mashable Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko for a Creator Playbook interview. Here, she revealed how she became a content creator, what she does when she's hit an "art block," and the dream project that could lure her away from TikTok for a bit.

"I love [Dropout] so much," Audity shared, adding, "But Dimension 20, particularly. I want to draw the characters for a season of theirs. Honestly, I've told them before, I'll do it for free."

From YouTubers and TikTok stars to streamers and podcasters, Mashable talks to creators about how they built their platforms, the gear they swear by, and the trends they see coming next.

These days, new versions of AI chatbots don't just launch; they're unshackled and released to the public following government scrutiny. OpenAI's new GPT-5.6 models were – like Anthropic's Claude Mythos and Fable – apparently too powerful to just launch; but now, after some tinkering, they're available to you, dear customer.

In practice, it simply means that the new GPT-5.6 models are very powerful and smarter than before. In its introductory post, OpenAI shared a bunch of graphs showing just how much better GPT-5.6 is than the competition, whilst using fewer tokens and generally costing less.

OK, great. But GPT-5.6 is not just one model; it comes in three distinct flavors: Sol, Terra, and Luna. So what do different kinds of users get, what should they pay for, and which models should they (mostly) use? Let's dive in.

Free users get (almost) nothing

Sorry; if you're not a paying customer, you'll have to make do with OpenAI's previous flagship model, GPT-5.5. Any sort of access to GPT-5.6 models requires a subscription of some sort. Fortunately, GPT-5.5 is still quite capable at most tasks, but if you want the best of the best, you'll have to cough up the dough.

There's an exception to this: Free and Go users can access GPT-5.6 through ChatGPT Work. More on that below.

If you're a Plus or Business user, you can only get Sol (the most powerful model) at medium and higher effort settings. There's another, higher level of performance called Sol Pro, but that's only available for Pro and Enterprise users.

In terms of availability per one million tokens, the prices are: $5 input and $30 output for Sol. $2.5 input and $15 output for Terra, and $1 input and $6 output for Luna.

SEE ALSO: Visa is connecting with ChatGPT to let AI agents automatically make purchases Sol, Terra, or Luna?

Why are there three models in the first place? Well, OpenAI always had a multi-tier model; for example, previously users were able to choose a "mini" version of the main model to get results done cheaper. Now, the model has been split into three tiers.

If you're a paying customer, you're free to use all three. But you know how it is in the world of LLMs: If you pick the smartest one, your usage limits will get hit faster (yes, there are always usage limits, even if you throw a ton of money at OpenAI).

In the simplest sense, GPT-5.6 Sol is the smartest model, Terra is in between (with roughly GPT-5.5 level of performance), and Luna is the cheapest, fastest, but also least capable of the bunch.

The breakdown is as follows: Terra is a "balanced" model for everyday work. That's the one you should be asking most of your questions. Don't underestimate it, though, as OpenAI claims it performs better than Anthropic's Fable 5 in some cases.

Luna is cost-efficient, and should be used for easy, non crucial everyday tasks; think recipes and movie recommendations. Again, OpenAI says it outperforms Anthropic's Opus 4.8 in some cases, so it's not a slouch, either.

Sol should be reserved for coding, deep research, planning, and cybersecurity: The most demanding tasks. Of course it comes at a (literal) cost: While OpenAI claims it spends less tokens than Anthropic's Fable 5, Sol will still hit usage limits a lot faster than the other variants.

Fun fact: If you ask GPT-5.5 about any of this, right now, it'll give you completely wrong answers. Hopefully OpenAI will fix this soon.

Wait, what's this ChatGPT Work thing, then?

Oh yeah, OpenAI also launched ChatGPT Work, which is a new agent in ChatGPT that can access and take actions on your apps and files, and work in the background until a task is finished. It's powered by Codex (OpenAI's software engineering agent) and GPT-5.6. Think about it as your buddy that will go through your emails and files, browse the web, fetch the relevant data, and create that presentation your boss wants before the day is done.

ChatGPT Work is rolling out to Pro, Enterprise and Edu users first on web and mobile; this will be expanded to Plus and Business users "over the next few days."

On the desktop, Work is available for everyone, including Free users.

Oh, and one more thing: The fact that ChatGPT Work has a built-in browser also means that OpenAI is sunsetting its standalone web browser, Atlas. Sorry.

How about GPT Live?

GPT Live is a new version of ChatGPT Voice and it will show up when you start talking to ChatGPT.

We've covered this in more depth here, but the bottom line is that GPT Live can listen and speak at the same time, allowing it to keep up a more realistic conversation.

Wrapping it all up

The new GPT-5.6 model is smart. It comes in three flavors: Luna, Terra, and Sol, with Sol being the most capable variant, Luna the most affordable one, and Terra somewhere in the middle. You can currently only get them on paid tiers, unless you're using ChatGPT Work on desktop. And ChatGPT Voice has also gotten smarter with GPT-Live underneath, a model that can listen and speak at the same time.

TL;DR: Sony’s Reon Pocket Pro Plus is here to help you beat the heat, bringing wearable cooling (and warming) tech to the U.S. for $259.99. The neck-worn temperature control device is currently out of stock at Sony, but you can sign up to get notified when it’s available again.

With summer temperatures pushing into uncomfortable territory, the Reon Pocket Pro Plus takes a different approach to staying cool. Instead of carrying around a fan, this wearable temperature-control device sits around your neck and uses a cooling plate against your upper back to deliver a targeted way to manage heat.

This device can also warm you up during colder months, making it more of an all-season wearable than just a summer gadget. It uses built-in temperature and humidity sensors, along with Sony's control algorithm, to adjust cooling and warming based on your surroundings and preferences.

When paired with the included sensing device, it can detect both the temperature inside your clothing and the outside environment, allowing its Smart cool to warm mode to automatically switch between cooling and heating without needing constant adjustments.

Despite its compact design, Sony packs in plenty of practical features. The device uses two thermo modules that alternate intensity to maintain continuous cooling, while Smart cool mode can deliver up to 15 hours of battery life. A flexible neckband helps keep the cooling surface in contact with your skin, and the lightweight, discreet design is made to be worn under clothing without looking like you’re carrying a gadget around. When winter arrives, four adjustable warm levels let it double as a personal warmer.

Heatwave season is here — sign up to know when the Reon Pocket Pro Plus is back in stock.

Happy anniversary to Dropout's most mind-bending viral video: "Brennan Quits Dropout."

It was July 14, 2025, when Game Changer aired "Fool's Gold." In this episode, Dropout contributors pitched video concepts to a Shark Tank-like panel of investors. The goal: Make the most viral portfolio. The most viral video? Vic Michaelis' pitch for "Brennan's Exit Video."

Dressed like an American Girl Doll, Michaelis pitched that Brennan Lee Mulligan post a video to social media claiming he was quitting Dropout, Dimension 20, and Dungeons & Dragons altogether to dedicate himself to his passion for creating shoes for American Girl Dolls.

Over the past year, Mashable Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko has interviewed Michaelis, Mulligan, and Game Changer host Sam Reich about this epic moment, which led not only to a TikTok video that had fans and newbies to Dropout freaking out, but also a Google Easter egg.

To toast the anniversary of this very silly video — that some people took very seriously — our Executive Video Producer Mark Stetson has compiled all that Michaelis, Mulligan, and Reich have revealed about the magic and mischief of "Brennan Quits Dropout."

Sure, they got snubbed by the Emmys. But we'll always have, "AAAAAH! THIS IS ME!"

It’s the latest and final drop in Razer's Sanrio collaboration lineup.

The headset takes inspiration from Cinnamoroll, the popular Sanrio character known for his oversized floppy ears and cloud-like aesthetic, bringing that look to Razer’s existing Kraken Kitty V2 BT design. Instead of the standard cat-ear silhouette, this version features plush white and blue accents, character artwork across the headband, and a design made to stand out whether you’re gaming, streaming, or just listening to music.

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

The wireless headset keeps the Bluetooth connectivity of the original Kraken Kitty V2 BT and comes with ear cushions designed for longer sessions. It features customizable Razer Chroma RGB lighting on the earcups, letting you add your own lighting effects while gaming or streaming.

The Cinnamoroll Edition is part of Razer’s broader run of character-inspired gaming accessories, following collaborations featuring other Sanrio favorites like Hello Kitty and Kuromi.
