The base Mega Evolution set is rapidly becoming one of the most expensive in the modern Pokémon TCG right now, but a new Amazon price cut has brought the 36-pack Display Box down by nearly $25 ahead of Prime Day.

As of Oct. 1, the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Booster Display Box is $353.99 at Amazon through third-party seller Collectors Expedition. That trims $24.89 from the list price, a discount of roughly 7%, with free delivery currently included.

With 36 booster packs inside, you’re paying approximately $9.83 per pack before tax. Each booster contains 10 random trading cards, leaving you with 360 cards to open across the full display.

Amazon still isn’t the cheapest place to buy the box if you’re open to buying it elsewhere. Walmart is also selling the same 36-pack Mega Evolution Booster Box for $344.95 with free shipping, while TCGplayer sellers have gone considerably lower with English unopened copies available for as little as $308 shipped. That’s only a cent above its current market price of $307.99.

If you’re hoping to pull a particular card, you can buy any single Mega Evolution Pokémon card right now on TCGplayer — including the stunning golden MHR Mega Lucario ex. 

SAVE $36.31: As of Oct. 1, the Coleman Sundome 4-Person Camping Tent is on sale for just $81.86 on Amazon ahead of its fall Prime sale (normally $117.99). That's a 31% savings and its lowest price of the year so far.

Everyone knows that early fall is the best time to buy camping equipment. (And if you didn't, now you do!) Retailers are now slashing prices on their remaining summer gear to clear their inventories before winter. Case in point: Amazon just put a Coleman tent on sale for its lowest price all year.

Typically $117.99, the navy blue Coleman Sundome 4-Person Camping Tent is only $81.86 right now — a 31% discount. Note that it's still full price on Coleman's website.

For reference, the same tent was about $2 more expensive during Amazon's summer Prime Day sale in June and $1.31 pricier during Prime Big Deal Days 2025, according to the price-tracking site camelcamelcamel. The only time it's been significantly cheaper than it is now was on Black Friday 2024, when it hit an all-time low of $67.99.

This is one of the best outdoor deals we've spotted in the lead-up to Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale on Oct. 6 and 7, aka "October Prime Day." You do have to be a Prime member to claim it, but trial members count.

Coleman describes this tent as being "ideal for camping in warm weather." It can fit one queen-sized air mattress, sets up in 10 minutes, and features a ground vent to prevent its interior from getting stuffy. Plus, there's an E-port on the side in case you'd like to run power inside. (FWIW, we've also spotted some very good deals on portable power stations ahead of Prime Big Deal Days.)

SAVE OVER $80: As of Oct. 1, the Lego Speed Champions Ultimate F1 Collector's Pack is back to its lowest-ever price of $188.99 at Amazon, but only for Prime members. That's $81 off its full price of $269.99.

We saw this deal pop up during June's Prime Day event earlier this year, and it's a pretty solid cut from its $269.99 list price. Overall, you're saving $81 on this collector's pack, but again, keep in mind it's an exclusive offer for Prime members. If you haven't signed up yet, check out our guide to signing up.

This season of F1 is unlike any other. Every season of F1 has a number of fascinating storylines to follow, but due to a major set of regulation changes, there's so much uncertainty right now. And uncertainty can lead to exciting racing.

Mercedes looked totally dominant in the early stages of the season, but now McLaren has cut the gap. All eyes are on Kimi Antonelli as he aims to defend his lead at the top of the standings.

If you are interested in watching F1 2026 for free from anywhere in the world, we've got all the information you need.

What is F1?

Formula One (F1) is the highest class of international open-wheel single-seater racing. A season consists of a series of races held in multiple countries and on multiple continents, either on purpose-built circuits or on closed public roads.

The energy in the lobby of Alice Tully Hall was kinetic on the night of Sept. 30, as press, patrons, and the public eagerly awaited the New York Film Festival's New York premiere of You Can See Everything. The documentary's existence went from a well-kept secret to an internet sensation when A24 dropped a teaser on Sept. 6 showing notorious Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes having an intimate conversation with heralded comedian Nathan Fielder. 

The project seemed preposterous, like something born from MadLibs or a brain-rot meme. However, the world premiere at a secret screening at the Telluride Film Festival, which was timed to the teaser debut, not only proved this movie was real, but also launched much buzz and absolutely unhinged rumors about what it contains.  

SEE ALSO: NYFF 2026 preview: 14 films you'll want to see (and how)

The New York crowd was downright giddy to see for themselves if You Can See Everything, co-directed by Fielder and Lance Oppenheim (Primetime), could live up to the hype. Personally, I was dubious. Holmes had already been the subject of the heralded book Bad Blood, an Alex Gibney documentary called The Inventor, the podcast series The Dropout, and Hulu's dramatic adaptation of the same name, which starred Amanda Seyfried as Holmes. What could be left to say on this subject? 

Well, I was wrong. Because the answer there is plenty. And You Can See Everything is a masterwork of interrogation, not only of the whole Holmes situation but of documentary as a form itself. And if you're thinking that sounds dry, let me confirm some of the rumors. Yes, there's full-frontal nudity, outrageous statements, bonkers twists, and laughs big and uncomfortable. But there's something more cerebral and unnerving that makes this not exactly a crowdpleaser, but a real stunner.

You Can See Everything is ridiculous on its face. 

Why Nathan Fielder? It's a question he asks Holmes in the film's first half, as he's a comedian known for blurring the lines of reality and performance with shows like Nathan For You and The Rehearsal. Holmes responds with a warm smile and an answer that is intriguingly elusive, as much of her answers will be. Over and over, she insists she's being transparent and truthful. But as that much-talked-about teaser clip suggests, it's hard to trust her, and harder to tell if she's telling the truth. 

Making the movie more bizarre, You Can See Everything began shooting in the 36 days before Holmes turned herself over to authorities to begin her prison sentence for fraud. And during that time, not only did she allow Fielder and his crew of seven into her home with her children and her fiancé, Billy Evans, but she invited him to move into their cramped beach house in the San Diego neighborhood of Del Mar. And he did. 

This should make the audience question Fielder's perspective on Holmes, as he might be accused of getting too close with the subject he's meant to investigate. But this is precisely what You Can See Everything wants you to question — but not just this. 

The film begins with camera angles and conversations between Holmes and Evans (or Liz and Billy, as they call each other) as if we're a fly on the wall. Then, Fielder becomes visible, lurking from a corner or outside their home. He is the audience surrogate in these moments, curious but looking from the outside, trying to make sense of this infamous woman. However, as the film progresses, his getting closer to Holmes and her family puts Fielder in the position of those she's beguiled and impressed before. 

Through Fielder and Oppenheim's suffocatingly intimate approach to the cinematography, we're strapped to his hip on the experience. You Can See Everything is shot in a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is like that of an old-school television from the '90s. This concentrates the audience's attention on to a smaller area, more specifically to the claustrophobic close-ups of Fielder, Holmes, Evans, and others. A multi-camera setup in the home means that the speaker and the spoken-to are caught on tape, so that we can see every microexpression, every flinch or twitch. And in that way, we — like Fielder — are forced to look Holmes in her unblinking eyes and determine for ourselves what is truth and what is a lie. And it's not easy. 

You Can See Everything is a fabulous mindfuck.

Even after all the internet rumors, the most surprising bit — that's not a spoiler — is that Holmes goes to prison around the halfway point of the nearly three-hour-long movie. After that, Fielder and Oppenheim's access to her becomes extremely limited. So, they begin to use reenactments to continue telling their story. That's a standard documentary tool. But the way they use reenactments introduces a new wrinkle in parsing the reality of Holmes' story. As in The Rehearsal, Fielder brings in an actor to play opposite him to recreate moments the crew couldn't catch on camera. And, similar to The Rehearsal, he has conversations with the actor to get a deeper understanding of the interaction. However, because the original interactions are not recorded, it's only Fielder's memory that they can pull from. Even as they read through his scripts, he questions his own memory. His perspective is challenged repeatedly within the film, with the actor even accusing him of liking Holmes too much to be objective. 

This is the core of You Can See Everything that makes it about more than Holmes. Documentaries themselves can never be objective, because they are — as Holmes says — human stories. When the frame is chosen, what is kept in is just as crucial to what is cropped out. When the edit comes together, the moments that are deemed meaningful versus unimportant shape the message. So, while You Can See Everything challenges you to question Holmes and Fielder, it also challenges its audience to think more broadly about documentary and news media. Objectivity is an impossibility. We are creatures of blood and emotion, driven by impulse and a need to protect ourselves from the reality of how we are capable of hurting others. 

It's not just Holmes who is questioned on this point in the film. And so, You Can See Everything becomes an interrogation of how we decide what's true. As a movie, it's a hell of an experience. Personally, I gasped, shouted, laughed, and even gagged. But as a work of art, it's one that's sure to live on for its bold choices, interrogation of form, and for Fielder's brave vulnerability in exposing his own doubts and shortcomings. 

You Can See Everything was reviewed out of the New York Film Festival and will open in theaters on Oct. 16. 

Scroll through social media, and you'll likely see the same sentence repeated over and over: "I am Jane Doe."

From comedians to authors to creators to everyday users, people are lending their names to a movement aimed at protecting the identity of the former Cornell University student who alleges that seven Chi Phi fraternity members sexually assaulted her in 2024.

Why? The movement gained momentum after political commentator Michael Tracey publicly solicited information identifying the woman, who filed her civil lawsuit under a pseudonym. "Let's see if anyone has the 'balls' to name this Jane Doe so we can all evaluate her veracity," he wrote Sept. 28. He followed up that he would be "happy to publish her name and identifying information" and that "this is 100% permitted under the First Amendment."

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

That prospect sparked an immediate response from people who wanted her identity kept private. Doxxing generally refers to exposing someone’s personal information online without their permission. In this case, supporters are pushing back against the idea that bringing allegations into public view should also mean opening the woman’s personal life to scrutiny.

SEE ALSO: Instagram put a warning on Florence Pugh's 'Cornell 7' post. Why?

Their answer has been to make themselves part of the search. On Threads, participants are posting "I am Jane Doe," sometimes pairing the declaration with their own names and inviting others to do the same. "I guess this is a thing now," Tracey wrote Sept. 30 about the trend.

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

The repetition serves two purposes: showing solidarity and, for some participants, making searches for the woman’s identity less useful.

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

On TikTok, women are overlaying "I am Jane Doe" on their videos and often share their own experiences with sexual assault. In a Reddit thread, users are taking the idea further by supplying deliberately false names. Their hope is that search engines and AI tools will pick up those posts, returning a jumble of conflicting identities to anyone searching for the Cornell accuser.

"Of course I know the identity of Jane Doe, the plaintiff against Cornell and the Cornell 7. Jane Doe is Robert California," one commenter wrote, referencing the character from The Office. Another joked, "Jane Doe's name? Nunya. Nunya Business."

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

Some commenters warned that reposting identifying information, even to condemn its disclosure, could spread it further. "I've seen so many people quoting it and dunking on the guy, which only serves to spread this poor woman's identity to more people," one wrote.

The campaign follows a September civil lawsuit alleging that seven Chi Phi fraternity members drugged and sexually assaulted the former student at Cornell’s fraternity house in October 2024. She is also suing Cornell and other defendants over their alleged failures to protect her and respond adequately. (The allegations remain contested.)

No criminal charges were initially filed. On Sept. 28, Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten announced a renewed investigation and preparations to present the case to a grand jury.

Whether the posts can protect her anonymity remains uncertain. But the response shows how quickly people online can mobilize — and how that attention could help keep pressure on the institutions handling her allegations as the case moves forward.

With a plan to fully electrify its fleet by 2040, FedEx recently took a big step toward that goal by purchasing 2,000 EVs that will enter service in the U.S. and Canada by the end of 2027.

The Tennessee-based package carrier is buying the vehicles from California startup Harbinger for over $200 million, according to InsideEVs.

If the report’s numbers are right, it’s a good investment; the trucks are anticipated to save FedEx $40 miillion in fuel costs each year and, with each EV truck engineered to last 20 years, that’s $800 million in savings.

Over the same period, the new trucks aim to prevent 1.7 million tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere.

The medium-duty EV trucks can travel between 140 and 210 miles on a full charge; Harbinger officials say a 20-to-80 percent charge takes less than an hour on a fast charger. 

FedEx has about 175,000 vehicles on the road, according to its own estimates. The company’s climate goals include exclusively purchasing electric trucks by 2030. By 2040, the company is committed to having all its pickup and delivery vehicles be zero-tailpipe emission models, including contracted transportation.

Is there an audio or speaker problem with the new iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max?

On Reddit and Apple forums, some users have been complaining about a crackling or "popping noise" coming from their new iPhones' speakers. Some of the users think the issue stems from the earpiece speaker, and Mashable found complaints about the problem with both the Pro and Pro Max models.

We also want to note that multiple Mashable reporters have a new iPhone 18 Pro or Pro Max device (read our full review), and none have experienced any audio popping issues. However, the potential issue has been reported in multiple places.

Mashable reached out to Apple to ask about a possible speaker issue and will update this piece if we receive a response.

One Redditor described the issue as sounding as "if someone is pulling out an aux cord and you hear a brief click pop noise." The user said the clicking noise occurred during numerous activities, from playing music to switching apps to receiving notifications.

One user reported that an Apple Store employee told them that this was most likely a software issue that would be fixed with an update. However, the latest iOS 27.0.1 update, which was released earlier this week, did not fix the audio problem for some of the users who reported experiencing the problem, according to posts on Reddit.

At least one user said they exchanged their iPhone for a new one due to the problem, only to discover that their replacement phone had the same exact problem.

TL;DR: The Bahrain GP in Malaysia is free to viewers on F1’s exclusive U.S. home Apple TV this weekend — no subscription required.

The Azerbaijan Grand Prix was everything that's great about F1. We had electric racing, dramatic incidents, and a nail-biting race to the chequered flag. Can the Bahrain GP in Malaysia compete with that? We believe.

George Russell's win last weekend has narrowed the gap to leader Kimi Antonelli, but the young Italian still looks like the favorite to end up on top. Lando Norris had been the man to beat coming into the last race weekend, but he ended up with a dreaded DNF. There's plenty of time to turn things around, and that starts at the Sepang International Circuit.

Amazon has overhauled its entire Kindle e-reader lineup in honor of its 20th anniversary, and you can already buy the new models — though most won't ship until late October.

On Oct. 1, the company announced a newly redesigned basic Kindle, Kindle Paperwhite, and Kindle Colorsoft, plus kid-friendly versions of each. It's also launching some all-new Kindle accessories, including a page-turning remote called the Kindle Click. (Mashable's resident e-reader expert thinks that one will sell like hotcakes. Read her recap of all the new Kindle updates.)

The new Kindles have thinner, lighter designs and come in new colors like ube, alpine sky, and seaglass green. The standard Kindle also now has a flush-front display and an optional aluminum back, which was previously exclusive to the "Signature Editions" of the Kindle Paperwhite and Colorsoft.

Amazon's fresh e-readers cost the same as their predecessors, which recently saw $30 to $50 price hikes because of the global memory shortage:

• Kindle (16GB) — $149.99

• Kindle Paperwhite (16GB) — $199.99

• Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (32GB) — $249.99

• Kindle Colorsoft (16GB) — $289.99

• Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition (32GB) — $319.99

• Kindle Kids (16GB) — $179.99

• Kindle Kids Paperwhite (16GB) — $229.99

• Kindle Kids Colorsoft (16GB) — $299.99

The new Kindle Click has two large haptic buttons for page turning, and two side buttons to adjust screen brightness. Credit: René Ramos / Mashable

Meanwhile, the new Kindle accessories start at $35. Besides the Click remote, there's a new cover with physical page-turn buttons and a charging stand for both versions of the Kindle Paperwhite. There's also a new sling bag for the basic Kindle — complete with its own miniature Kindle keychain charm.

• Kindle Click — $34.99

• Charging Stand — $59.99

• Kindle Page Turn Cover — $79.99

• Kindle Sling Bag — $99.99

The new standard Kindle and Kindle Kids are now available for immediate purchase through Amazon and Best Buy. The other new Kindles and most of their accessories are up for preorder on Amazon ahead of their joint release on Wednesday, Oct. 28. We'll be on the lookout for deals on them during Amazon's upcoming Prime Big Deal Days sale.

Amazon hasn't set a launch date for the charging stand yet, but shoppers can sign up to get email notifications when it's available.

SAVE $49.01: As of Oct. 1, the Apple Watch Series 11 (GPS, 42mm) is marked down to just $349.99 at Target — that's 13% off its usual price of $399.

Buying older Apple devices is a great way to save on an upgrade. The only trick is finding them in stock: Apple usually discontinues its last-gen models as soon as their successors arrive, and once third-party retailers sell their remaining inventory, they're pretty much gone for good.

With that in mind, I was surprised to catch the Apple Watch Series 11 in stock and on sale at Target. It's marked down to $349.99 there in the lead-up to next week's Circle Deal Days event — a 13% discount on its usual sticker price of $399. Take your pick from three styles of the 42mm model:

• Rose gold aluminum case with light blush Sport Band

• Jet black aluminum case with black Sport Band

• Space gray aluminum case with black Sport Band

This deal makes the Series 11 a full $50 cheaper than the new Apple Watch Series 12, which debuted last month during the company's "Surprise and Shine" iPhone event. The Series 12 has more durable glass, faster charging, upgraded heart rate sensors, and a speedier S11 chip that supports new Readiness and Audio Intelligence tools. But otherwise, they're identical and both run on watchOS 27. (Read Mashable's full review of the Series 11 from last year.)

The Series 11 has been cheaper before — $279 is its all-time low on Amazon — but I wouldn't wait to see if Target lowers its price any further during its Circle Deal Days sale on Oct. 6 and 7. If anything, it'll probably sell out there first. The Series 11 was MIA or full price at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart at the time of writing.

We're big fans of Dyson's beauty tech here at Mashable — and most of its vacuums, for the record — but we're even bigger fans of saving money whenever possible. Lead Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard spent months vetting the best budget-friendly dupes for Dyson's splurgy Supersonic hair dryer. Now, one of them happens to be on sale for a record-low price.

As of Oct. 1, the Shark SpeedStyle Flex Pro is only $149 on Amazon. That's 40% off its usual sticker price of $249.99, which works out to a $100 savings. The only other time it's been this cheap was during Amazon's summer Prime Day sale in June, according to the price-tracking site camelcamelcamel.

Shark makes several iterations of its SpeedStyle hair dryer, all of which share an "IQ Styling" feature that automatically adjusts their heat and airflow depending on the attachment you're using. The "Flex Pro" model comes with the most attachments and has a twisting base for easy storage.

Allard said her "first and lasting impression of this hair dryer was that it doesn't play with its air speeds — they're strong. ... Reliably, my whole head was entirely dry in less than 15 minutes." She especially liked its QuickSmooth Brush for styling.

Amazon's deal on the SpeedStyle Flex Pro comes ahead of its Prime Big Deal Days event on Oct. 6 and 7 (commonly referred to as "October Prime Day"). If you're looking for even more early deals on beauty tech, check out our running list of the best. Crucially, this is one of the few that isn't exclusive to Prime members.

If the SpeedStyle Flex Pro sells out or gets more expensive on Amazon by the time you go to buy it — it's labeled as a "limited-time deal" — try Sephora, which was also selling it for $149 at the time of writing. It was 99 cents pricier at Best Buy, Ulta, and on Shark's own website.

Amazon's next Prime Day is officially on the horizon. Its fall savings event, Prime Big Deal Days (aka "October Prime Day") is coming Oct. 6 and 7, with competing festivities at Target and Walmart.

The best Prime Day deals are your chance to get some relief from the RAMageddon price hikes impacting the tech industry this year. For its part, Amazon increased the prices of nearly two dozen Kindles, Fire TV Sticks, Echo smart speakers, and eero routers this summer because of rising component costs. Seasonal sales like Prime Big Deal Days and Black Friday should cancel out some of those markups.

As we gear up for fall, Amazon is already dropping early October Prime Day deals, and we've hunted down the best ones for you. Savings are fluctuating quickly; for example, Fire TV Sticks were heavily discounted last week, jumped back to full price, and are back on sale. We're still holding out for more deals, considering Amazon Echo devices and Kindle e-readers have yet to go on sale.

Finally, a word of warning: We do expect prices to drop even lower on select Apple products when the sale starts Oct. 6, so you might want to hold out until then. In the meantime, we'll be regularly updating our picks in the lead-up to Prime Big Deal Days. You can also check out our guide to the top October Prime Day tech deals for more savings.

They're perfect for commuters and even measure your heart rate, which is great for athletes who love a good workout playlist.

Pete Davidson has a lot to get off his chest. And, no, not just the tattoos.

In a new Variety cover story and accompanying videos published Sept. 30, the comedian opened up about famous exes Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande, discussed Ye's harassment, took aim at influencer culture, and defended AI filmmaking. And, naturally, the internet had plenty to say about all of it.

He reflected on dating Kim Kardashian — and offered Ye some sympathy

Davidson revisited one of his most scrutinized relationships: his time with Kim Kardashian.

The two began dating after sharing a kiss in an October 2021 Saturday Night Live sketch, while she was divorcing Ye (formerly Kanye West). They split in August 2022, but Davidson says there's still love there. "I’m one of the survivors — the few and the proud. We’re like the Marines," he joked about men who have dated Kardashians.

He said Kardashian respected his boundaries, but the constant attention and security became overwhelming while he was dealing with mental health and substance use issues. His comments drew criticism online, with some users accusing him of portraying himself as a victim. "There he goes crying again, nobody made you date her," said one user.

As for Ye, who targeted Davidson on Instagram in 2022 and released an "Eazy" music video depicting a claymation version of the comedian being kidnapped and beheaded, Davidson gave a look into what exactly he faced at the time: "What tripped me out is I was super open about mental stuff — everyone knows this about me — and it's like he was [saying], 'Kill yourself.' And he did push me," Davidson said.

He added a joke that whoever Kardashian dated first would have faced Ye’s wrath: "I cleared the path for her to get back into the dating pool."

Despite that history, Davidson expressed a surprising amount of sympathy. "He’s also lost a parent and has mental stuff, and I don't know how he deals with it or who he has around him," he said. Davidson added that Ye was trying to push people away, concluding: "There's zero way he really feels like that."

He defended Ariana Grande against comments about her appearance

Davidson had kind words for Grande, whom he dated and was briefly engaged to in 2018. "I think Ariana’s fuckin’ cool and immensely talented and an awesome girl," he said. "We’re not texting or whatever, but we’re cool."

Asked about the scrutiny surrounding her appearance, he was considerably less fond of the people doing the commenting. "I don’t like it at all. It’s not cool. She’s a really strong person — I’ve witnessed it — and I don’t understand it," Davidson said. "She knows how to handle this stuff, though. She’s been around. So she’ll be OK, but I think it’s fucked up."

He also joked that there should be a support group for men like him and Jake Gyllenhaal, who have become the subjects of famous breakup songs. (Gyllenhal is thought to be the inspiration for Taylor Swift's song, All Too Well.)

SEE ALSO: We're having the wrong conversation about Ariana Grande He had something to say about influencers, too

In Variety’s accompanying "Ask a Local" video, Davidson mocked "get ready with me" videos and TikTok dances.

"Girls are just talking to themselves on there, and they’re like, 'OK, come get ready with me,' and I’m like, 'Who the fuck are you? What do you do?' Nothing. What the fuck is this?" He claimed creators make "$40 million a year," (without naming anyone), and declared that "the world’s broken."

Creators had responses. Hayley Kalil wrote: "Mind you, he does the same thing, just for a TV camera instead of a phone camera." In Variety’s Instagram comments, Claudia Oshry, known as @girlwithnojob, wrote: "But he literally does nothing and also makes $40M....??"

"Imagine dating the biggest influencer of all time and still having these thoughts?" added Oti Mabuse. Creator @wellwithraele questioned why his criticism focused on women: "If the influencer industry was dominated by men, no one would care or have any qualms about a single thing."

Other responses were more supportive of Davidson’s criticism. "Pete Davidson said what everyone else was thinking," said one user. Another called it the "right message, wrong messenger."

He explained the AI behind his upcoming movie

Davidson also defended the use of AI for locations in Doug Liman's upcoming thriller Bitcoin, saying it allowed the production to avoid extensive travel. "We were trying to shoot a $250 million movie," he said. TheWrap reported that the film actually cost $70 million and used AI for settings and lighting.

Davidson stressed that the production still employed a full crew and extras, adding: "None of our performances are AI or being altered or anything."

The cost-saving argument wasn’t winning over everyone online. "This might just be the least appealing movie of all time," wrote one user. "Oh, they used AI? Well, guess I won't be seeing the Gal Gadot/Pete Davidson Bitcoin movie after all," wrote another.

Trends among teenagers are an ever-changing hellscape, and finding the best gifts for teen girls (that they'll actually use for longer than a month) is a coveted skill. Even millennials — people who are not that old, thank you very much — can have trouble keeping up with the world predominantly ruled by TikTok and content creators.

An important reminder: Don't just wing it. Gen Z girls are clearly loyal to a defined handful of brands and have very specific aesthetic goals. Goals that could be torched by the honest mistake of grabbing generic white earbuds instead of the best AirPods or not realizing that Owala has eclipsed Stanley in the hierarchy of trendy water bottles.

But you know who does know what teenage girls want this year? Other teenage girls. I'm regularly tracking viral TikTok products and compiling the most popular stuff with items that the high schoolers in my own life have mentioned. So even if you don't know what terms like whimsymaxxing mean, you're definitely in the right place to find a gift that a teenager thinks is cool. Whether it's for a birthday, holiday, high school graduation, or just because, here are 35+ unique gifts for teenage girls in 2026.

Some people just have a natural talent for finding gifts on a budget, whether it's Christmas, an anniversary, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, or birthdays. Some people nail it every time, getting the "best gift-giver" award among those who are lucky to know them — wife, husband, boyfriend, teens, in-laws, and everyone else.

If you're not one of those people, don't fret. We're here to help no matter the occasion. We've put together a list of the best gift ideas for under $50, from expected-but-useful trinkets to cool items they definitely don't have yet. These unique, budget-friendly gift ideas come from a variety of categories, so you're sure to find something they'll love.

If you're a Reddit user who prefers the old Reddit platform, colloquially referred to as "Old Reddit," over the newly designed one, then you're going to want to pay attention to this.

According to Reddit, the company will start blocking Old Reddit for Redditors that haven't used Old Reddit in the previous six months.

Reddit previously limited Old Reddit only to users who are logged into their account.

"In the next few months, we'll further limit access for logged-in users to only those who have used Old Reddit in the last six months (which covers the vast majority of all Old Reddit users)," Reddit posted in r/modnews. 

The Reddit employee who posted this news added that this change will not apply to logged-in platform mods. They can continue to use Old Reddit without any usage requirements.

This latest move appears to point to the company eventually moving away from the old version of the platform, although Reddit has not yet committed to that publicly, at least.

"We’re still working on the future of Old Reddit," the employee posted alongside the usage announcement.

These changes over at Reddit, including the recently announced shutdown of RSS feeds and its public API, have been attributed to the rise of AI bots, according to the company.

"Earlier this year, we required people to log in to use Old Reddit, addressing its largest source of abusive scraping and automated traffic: unauthenticated access," Reddit said in its latest update. "That change helped reduce scraping and automated abuse, but still allowed any logged-in account to access Old Reddit, including accounts with no prior Old Reddit use."

This six-month usage requirement will be introduced to "close the gap," according to the company.

Reddit is not shutting the door on AI. The company has become a favorite source for many AI chatbots. As a result, Reddit has discovered that licensing deals with AI companies can be quite lucrative for the social platform. These latest moves are intended to shut out the AI bots that are scraping the platform's content for free.

It's a new fact of life in 2026: If a gadget has memory, it's going to get a price increase eventually.

And on the first day of October, PhoneArena noticed that Samsung had raised prices by $100 or more on its latest-generation flagship smartphones in the U.S., the Galaxy S26 line. Samsung opened the new phone release season when it released the Galaxy S26 in March, and since then, we've documented price increases from Apple, Acer, Google, HP, Motorola, Lenovo, Nintendo, Sony, and Xbox.

Because of a multi-trillion-dollar AI infrastructure spending spree, the memory components that are necessary for laptops, smartphones, gaming consoles, and other tech products are in short supply.

The Galaxy S26 price hikes hurt even more because the S26 and S26 Plus were already more expensive at launch than their S25 counterparts.

The new prices are:

• Galaxy S26, 256GB — $999.99

• Galaxy S26 Plus, 256GB — $1,199.99

• Galaxy S26 Ultra, 256GB — $1,399.99

Prices vary depending on the storage option you choose, but in general, all the S26 phones are now $100 more expensive. As PhoneArena noted, the 1TB version of the S26 Ultra received a $200 increase.

We do have some good news, however.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 FE, announced on Sept. 3, is unaffected by the price increases; you can still preorder that phone for a starting price of $699, and it's set to be released on Oct. 5.

In addition, you can still find some deals on the Galaxy S26. Amazon is selling the Galaxy S26 Ultra in the white colorway for over $100 off, letting you cancel out the price increase; you can also buy the base model S26 for its original price in select colors, also at Amazon. Finally, mobile carriers like Verizon and T-Mobile will often offer up to $1,000 off new phones if you switch, trade in an old device, or sign up for a specific plan.
