After ChatGPT-generated images in the style of Studio Ghibli drew criticism online, OpenAI has shared a response addressing the backlash.

OpenAI released native image generation in GPT-4o earlier this week, with a live demo showing CEO Sam Altman and OpenAI staffers using ChatGPT to turn a selfie into an anime-style image that looked a whole lot like the unique and painstakingly crafted animated films of Studio Ghibli. Soon, Studio Ghibli-style versions of memes, selfies, and family photos, all automated by ChatGPT, went viral on X. Altman himself turned his X profile picture into a Studio Ghibli-esque image of himself and directly mentioned the distinct style in an X post, writing, "wake up one day to hundreds of messages: 'look i made you into a twink ghibli style haha.'"

The viral moment quickly turned into questions of copyright infringement and IP theft as users wondered whether OpenAI trained GPT-4o on Studio Ghibli films without permission. But the larger issue that troubled many users was how the artwork of Hayao Miyazaki's studio, which famously hand-paints almost every frame of their animated films, could be quickly automated and commodified for the purpose of promoting a new OpenAI product.

This was especially prescient given Miyazaki's stance on AI-generated work based on a clip that went viral where Miyazaki expressed his disgust, saying, "I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself."

In response, OpenAI has addressed the criticisms sharing the following statement to Mashable:

Our goal is to give users as much creative freedom as possible. We continue to prevent generations in the style of individual living artists, but we do permit broader studio styles—which people have used to generate and share some truly delightful and inspired original fan creations. We're always learning from real-world use and feedback, and we’ll keep refining our policies as we go.

OpenAI did not address our questions of whether OpenAI had a pre-existing licensing partnership with Studio Ghibli or whether Studio Ghibli films had been included in the training data.

The technical distinction that theoretically lets OpenAI off the hook is that ChatGPT can generate "broader studio styles" but not individual styles of living artists. Indeed, when asking ChatGPT to generate a Hayao Miyazaki-style animation of an uploaded image, ChatGPT denied the request, saying it "violates our content policies." Replacing Hayao Miyazaki's name with "Studio Ghibli" in a new prompt successfully complied with the request.

According to OpenAI's GPT-4o system card, which outlines the model's ethical and safety challenges, "The model can generate images that resemble the aesthetics of some artists’ work when their name is used in the prompt." The section goes on to say, "We opted to take a conservative approach with this version of 4o image generation, as we learn more about how 4o image generation is used by the creative community." But it's unclear how unquestioningly granting requests for Studio Ghibli-style animations is a conservative approach.

The system card section also specifies, "We added a refusal which triggers when a user attempts to generate an image in the style of a living artist."

So, there you have it folks. You can ask ChatGPT to create an image in the style of a studio, but not a living artist. Miyazaki's work can be appropriated if you plug in the name of the studio that he founded, but not his own name.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

That line of thinking could have saved Facebook a lot of trouble, but the social media site owned by Meta seems to be returning to its roots anyway.

One of the most striking changes Facebook made was to change its famous Feed. Instead of only seeing your friends, it began showing ads and recommended content. Now, years later, the Friends Feed is returning — kind of.

"Connecting with friends has been a part of Facebook since it launched," the company wrote in a news release. "Over the years, Facebook evolved to meet changing needs and created best-in-class experiences across Groups, Video, Marketplace, and more, but the magic of friends has fallen away. We’ll be adding several 'OG' Facebook experiences throughout the year, beginning with the revamped Friends tab."

Those "OG Facebook experiences" include a new Friends tab to "make it easier for people to find their friends’ content on Facebook." This tab will only show your friends' stories, Reels, posts, and requests, instead of being mixed in with other recommended content. You can pin the Friends tab so it's easier to access by going to your profile picture, clicking "settings & privacy," navigating to "settings," and clicking "tab bar," before customizing the bar and clicking "Friends" to pin the tab.

"Social media should feel social," Meta wrote. "In that spirit, we’ll be adding more fun, simple experiences to help you connect and share on Facebook throughout the year."

We have plenty to celebrate in the spring, like flowers, warmer weather, sunshine, and great discounts during the Amazon Big Spring Sale, which runs through March 31. Unfortunately, spring also comes with a tint of dread for those of us who suffer from seasonal allergies. Equipping your home with an air purifier is one of the simplest ways to cut down on allergens and dust in the air.

Just in time for spring allergy season, Amazon has discounts on some of the best air purifiers during the Amazon Big Spring Sale. You'll be able to find the best model for your home or apartment based on the size of your space and the design you prefer.

Even if you don't deal with spring allergies, an air purifier is great for keeping indoor air clean if the area you live in is prone to wildfire smoke, or you deal with pet allergies. They can also be perfect for getting rid of odors from cooking. Boiled down, every home could benefit from breathing in cleaner air. Here are some of our favorite air purifier discounts to shop during the Amazon Big Spring Sale.

The Coway Airmega 200M wastes no time when it comes to cleaning the air. In a 316 square-foot space, the Coway takes under 13 minutes to completely filter the air or under 30 minutes in a space up to 874 square feet. Coway designed this model with three layers of filtration with an initial pre-filter to capture hair and dust mites, which leaves the important HEPA filter cleaner for tasks that include filtering out pollen, germs, viruses, and fine dust.

The Coway Airmega 200M usually costs $229.99, but it's discounted to just $155.87 as part of the Amazon Big Spring Sale. Be sure to snag the white colorway to score this sale price.

Dyson is the master of manipulating airflow, making some of the best fans, purifiers, and hair dryers we've ever used. The Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool Gen1 HP10 lives up to the brand's high standards, offering HEPA filtration, a fan for warm nights, and a heater for chilly winter days. This three-in-one model usually sells for $529.99, but it's discounted to $399.95. The 25% discount means you'll be saving an impressive $130.

Aside from incredible performance, the Dyson comes with a remote control, which is one of the most convenient features that not all air purifiers can claim. It also comes with oscillation up to 350 degrees, and the fully sealed HEPA filter gives you reassurance the air is cleaner. Night mode is also great, since it lowers the display lighting and sends the purifiers into its quietest operation mode.

Instead of buying a fan to keep you cool in the summer and a portable heater to warm up a chilly bedroom in the winter, the Dyson is here to do both, and it'll purify the air while keeping you at a comfortable temperature.

While plenty of air purifiers come with HEPA filters, not many get high marks when it comes to overall appearance. If you're interested in keeping indoor air clean thanks to a purifier that's also aesthetically pleasing, the LG PuriCare AeroTower is a great option. The tower design makes it look more aligned with an interesting piece of furniture instead of a piece purely for function. Its slim build means it's also great if you don't have much floor space to dedicate to an air purifier.

The LG PuriCare also gets extra credit for being certified Asthma & Allergy Friendly, a program run by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. This certification means this model is especially great for those who deal with seasonal allergies or asthma. The NanoFiber True HEPA used in this model can trap 99.97% of particles that tend to cause trouble like dust, pollen, and smoke.

SAVE $145: As of March 28, the Dreame D10 Plus robot vacuum and mop combo is down to just $254.99 at Amazon during the Big Spring Sale. That's 36% off the usual cost and its lowest price ever.

The price of a new robot vacuum that also mops can come with a bit of sticker shock. Our favorite model (the Roborock Saros 10R), for instance, costs $1,599.99. But here's the thing: even that expensive combo robovac isn't perfect. If you just want something that can tidy up your floors and you're not picky, we suggest opting for something more affordable, like this Dreame D10 Plus.

Usually pretty reasonable at $399.99, you can pick up the Dreame D10 Plus for even cheaper during Amazon's Big Spring Sale. As of March 28, it's down to just $254.99. That's 36% off and its best price ever. It even beats its Black Friday price by $5.

The Dreame D10 Plus robot vacuum and mop combo certainly isn't the fanciest model around, but it's great for its price. The 6,000Pa suction power is pretty average in this price range. It packs a 150ml clean water tank with three flow settings to select from, so it can give your floors a little scrub after sucking up all the gunk. It's battery life is pretty solid at 285 minutes, plus it's equipped with smart mapping, obstacle avoidance, and voice assistant support. A bonus, particulary at this low price, is that it comes with a self-emptying base that can hold up to 90 days' worth of debris before needing your attention. Once it finishes cleaning, it'll head back to its base to charge and dump any dust, crumbs, or dirt it collected.

While it's not going to wow you like a $1,600 robot vacuum, the Dreame D10 Plus gets you a lot for your money. And if you grab it during the Big Spring Sale, you'll pay the lowest amount possible.

You can't completely turn off Google's AI Overviews, but users have discovered a profanity-laced workaround.

If you add "fuck" or a variation of the word to your Google search, it turns off the AI-generated summary at the top of the page.

The origins of this hack are unclear, but LA Times reporter Keri Blakinger posted a TikTok about it in early March, saying she had heard about it from an episode of the Scriptnotes podcast.

But it appears to have originated from a Jan. 27 Tumblr post by user flootzavut, who wrote, "Swear in your search request. I know it sounds ridiculous, but the most effective way I've found of it not doing the AI summary is just to add 'fucking' go [sic] my search."

https://www.tumblr.com/andthentheresanne/774090613079621632

I tried it, and it works like a charm. When searching "what's the most expensive car," I got the usual AI Overview response at the top of the search results that I've gotten in the habit of automatically scrolling past. Then I added "fuck" to the end of my query and received a blissfully AI-free results page. I still got the usual mix of featured snippets (written by humans and including site links) and AI-generated summaries in the People Also Ask section of the page, so the hack only turns off AI Overviews. But at least the main results page is rid of AI clutter.

No fucks given. Credit: Google Fucks given. Credit: Google

A note of caution: when using this hack, be careful of how adding the f-word can augment your search entirely. Inspired by my current obsession, season three of The White Lotus, I discovered that adding "fuck" or "fucking" to a search for "the best Thailand resorts" returns verrrry different results than what I was looking for.

The reason why this hack works is likely due to Google Search's safety guardrails, which make AI Overviews a very prim summarizer. Google's AI model Gemini is probably trained not to respond when certain trigger words are included in the search. Users who commented on Blakinger's TikTok post shared that adding "-AI" to your search also works. So, you're essentially telling Gemini not to respond.

While there's no "off" setting for AI Overviews, there are other workarounds too, which Mashable and our sibling site Lifehacker have written about.

But swearing at Google Search is by far the funnest way to do it.

It also has a one-hour battery life, and an anti-tangle brush that pet owners will appreciate.

Add one to your cleaning closet for just $249.99 during Amazon's Big Spring Sale, saving you $100.

Imagine for a moment that unicorns were real, but don't resemble the fanciful fillies illustrated in children's books of Lisa Frank school supplies. Instead, they are feral creatures, with mighty muscles, sharp fangs protruding from a screaming maw, and a horn so girthy and sturdy it can run through a man's ribcage like a broadsword. These are the beasts that ferociously frolic in the wild A24 comedy Death of a Unicorn.

The directorial debut of producer Alex Scharfman (Resurrection, Blow the Man Down), Death of a Unicorn will unfold a tale of wonder, greed, and unicorn carnage (unicarnage?) with a humor broad and dark. A crackling ensemble made up of Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega, Richard E. Grant, Téa Leoni, Will Poulter, Jessica Hynes, and Anthony Carrigan play a cast of eccentric characters, sharply painting a world of class conflicts within a remote but luxurious estate in the Canadian Rockies.

The result is a movie that's hilarious, horrorific, and strikingly sincere  — albeit uneven. 

Death of a Unicorn lays down a gory and goofy anti-capitalism parable.  Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd have a fatetful car accident in "Death of a Unicorn." Credit: A24

What would you do if you encountered a real live (or dead) unicorn? In this strange circumstance, art history major Ridley (Ortega) drops to her knees in awe of its glowing gold horn…and oozing purple blood. Her corporate lawyer father Elliot (Rudd) goes into panic mode, hoping to cover up the unicorn's existence to save himself any hassle. But his employers, the wealthy Leopold family, look at the corpse of a mythic beast and see only dollar signs — and it's their sprawling estate on which the unicorn dies.

Like the notorious Sacklers on which they are based, the Leopolds have built their financial empire on pharmaceuticals. With their patriarch Odell (Grant) on the verge of death by cancer, they’ve called their trusted lawyer Elliot to help them map out the company’s future. But when Ridley and her dad accidentally discover that the unicorn's blood can cure their respective acne and allergies, the Leopolds practically drool at the possibilities.

Swiftly they assemble the wealthy maniac version of a unicorn chop shop, filing down the horn to see what else this extremely rare creature might yield. Consider it a metaphor for fracking, blithely destroying the natural world to build wealth for the 1%. But this was no lone unicorn, and when its paranormal parents come looking for their slain foal, all hell — and quite a lot of guts — will break loose.

While the Leopolds believe they are entitled to anything on their land, especially a unicorn corpse that could cure cancer, Ridley argues for the sanctity of the creature, begging them to surrender the baby back to its family. Meanwhile, Elliot is torn between his desire to make his daughter happy and his determination to appease his obscenely rich clients. None too subtly, Death of a Unicorn becomes a battle not only between man and beast, environmentalism and capitalism, but also for Elliot’s soul. 

Unicorn violence is wickedly fun.  Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd look horrified in "Death of a Unicorn." Credit: A24

Scharfman, who also wrote the screenplay, relishes turning the beloved mythical creature into a creatively rampaging monster. Sure, the first kill is pretty straightforward, involving a well-aimed horn right through a human spine and out his belly like an Alien chestburster. But as the night goes on, these unicorns will crush, snap, gore, bite, and kick their way to revenge. Each kill is gushy with blood, offering not only sick spectacle but also some political catharsis. Here, the Haves get theirs. 

Out of its SXSW world premiere, some critics have dinged the film’s unicorn designs, not for their aesthetic, but for the clumsiness of some of the computer animation. However, detailed animatronics are also used, creating a textured monster who is glorious on the big screen. Personally, the CGI bits didn’t bother me. The rougher seams are often hidden in scenes of fog and shadow. Frankly, those that aren’t make the film feel scruffy in a way that suits its midnight movie sensibility. 

Will Poulter and Richard E. Grant are outrageous standouts in Death of a Unicorn. Tea Leoni and Richard E. Grant play posh villains in "Death of a Unicorn." Credit: A24

The cast is stacked with rightly heralded performers. From hitman comedy series Barry, Carrigan pops up as a much yelled-at butler, who is often silent yet steadily hilarious in his reactions. As the trophy wife of the Leopolds, Leoni so revels in playing an oblivious, entitled, white woman that she might very well end up on the next season of The White Lotus. 

By sharp contrast, Ortega shakes off the stoicism that made her iconic in Wednesday and instead embraces a wide-eyed vulnerability that often results in moving tearfulness. For his part, Rudd, who plays a role written for him, seems almost too daffy dad at times. It's almost as if Elliot is in a broader comedy. But this might be design, intended to draw attention to what a clown Elliot is, constantly capering to please his wealthy patrons. Maybe his performance is supposed to feel frantically false.

Among the cast, however, Grant and Poulter provide the most steady hilarity. Grant, an Oscar nominee who’s never had a bad performance, is deliciously devilish as this profit-seeking patriarch. He is able to vacillate between frail and philosophical to rejuvenated and wrathful with ease, making his characters grizzly comeuppance all the more satisfying. (The audience at SXSW roared with excitement for this particular slaughter.) 

As for Poulter, who co-starred in Sackler-inspired TV drama Dopesick, he is electrifying. At the beginning of the film, his character Shepherd is a cheerfully bro-y and vaguely braindead heir, whose biggest concern is whether swim shorts are proper attire to view a dead unicorn in. But as new levels of greed unlock, this untalented but much encouraged douchebag grows into a megalomaniacal villain, as mesmerizing as he is infuriating. Poulter, like his onscreen father Grant, is extraordinary at balancing malevolent and madcap. Shame Scharfman's balancing of sincere and silly is not so keen. 

Where Death of A Unicorn falters is in its exposition. Inspired by The Unicorn Tapestries from the Cloisters, Scharfman creates an amusing and cheeky twist on classic unicorn lore. However, the characters go over and over information that's pretty swiftly explained in its introduction. A similar redundancy occurs in the tragic backstory of why Ridley and Elliot are estranged. While their shared trauma and eventual opening up leads to one of the film's most touching moments, the path there is full of loops that cause the momentum of the unicorn mayhem to drag. 

Still, both Death of a Unicorn and Mark Anthony Green’s recently released Opus are positive signs of A24's cinematic mission. While both are being criticized for being a bit wonky, they also offer unique and excitingly bizarre visions, blending genres fearlessly to tell stories personal and political. While not every step is solid, these journeys are nonetheless exhilarating in their originality and weird whimsy. In the end, Death of a Unicorn is a monster movie that is riotously funny, unapologetically dark, and ultimately heartwarming. 

Death of a Unicorn is now playing only in theaters nationwide.

UPDATE: Mar. 28, 2025, 12:20 p.m. Death of a Unicorn was reviewed out of its premiere at the 2025 SXSW Film Festival, on March 10, 2025. The article has been updated to include the latest theatrical options.

Garmin has new AI features for its fitness app, but you'll have to pay to access them.

On Thursday, the smartwatch maker popular with sports and fitness enthusiasts announced Garmin Connect Plus, a new paid subscription tier for its Garmin Connect smartphone app. The main selling point for the app's premium version, which shows health and fitness data, is a suite of new AI features.

SEE ALSO: Garmin Lily 2 review: A smartwatch that doesn't scream 'fitness tracker'

The features, dubbed Active Intelligence, provide "personalized insights and suggestions throughout the day based on health and activity data," according to the press release. The more subscribers use Garmin Connect Plus, "insights will become more tailored to them and their goals," the announcement continued.

Garmin didn't share much else beyond how AI will provide insights and suggestions, or what those insights and suggestions are. But Garmin has deemed Active Intelligence worthy enough to charge for it, which is a departure from its previous stance on paywalls. Access to Garmin Connect data has been free compared to competitors like Whoop, Fitbit, and Oura, which require paid subscriptions or offer a premium tier. In 2023, Garmin launched Outdoor Maps Plus, charging $50 for access to more advanced mapping features. Looking back, it's a sign that Garmin was already moving away from its free-data-for-all attitude.

That said, existing health data and features on the Garmin Connect app will still be free. So rest assured, the data you're already tracking won't be put behind a paywall — for now, at least.

Garmin faces steep competition in the health and fitness market. There are the above-mentioned wearables — Whoop, Fitbit, and Oura. Plus, Google Pixel, Samsung, and Apple all have their own smartwatches with health, fitness, and AI-powered features. Meanwhile, Strava is increasingly popular as a subscription-based fitness app.

If you want to try out Garmin Connect Plus, the company offers a free 30-day trial. After that, it's $6.99/month or $69.99/year to access the premium features.

Nintendo is obsessed with dominating news headlines this week, huh?

Thursday's surprise Nintendo Direct livestream bundled a bunch of game announcements together with the news that Nintendo would launch its own mobile app for daily news-breaking purposes. Well, the first Nintendo Today! news drop is here, and it's a big one: The live-action The Legend of Zelda movie will come out on March 26, 2027.

SEE ALSO: Switch 2 release date, price and everything else we expect from Nintendo Direct I'm glad I downloaded an app for this. Credit: Screenshot: Nintendo

You might be thinking, "There's a live-action Zelda movie?" Well, yeah. Nintendo announced the project back in late 2023 with director Wes Ball (of The Maze Runner trilogy) attached and no other information about it. We still don't know anything about casting, but at least now we know when it's supposed to come out.

Some kind of Zelda movie was probably inevitable after the huge success of the 2023 Super Mario Bros. movie, but one has to wonder how exactly it will work. Zelda series protagonist Link famously doesn't speak out loud in the game, and I doubt they would adapt the recent Echoes of Wisdom game with Zelda as the main protagonist this soon after its release.

Over the years, there have been plenty of big fantasy epics out of Hollywood, but Zelda isn't really Lord of the Rings. It might be hard to get a big emotional climax out of Link figuring out how to solve a puzzle with a boomerang.

Still, as we wait for the Switch 2 Direct next week, we might as well ponder. Maybe Chris Pratt can star in this one, too.

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is well underway. Luckily, the deals are staying consistent, so there's still time to score hundreds of dollars of savings on headphones and speakers. While there are some sweet savings to find on big ticket items from Bose or Sony, it's also an ideal time to save on budget items.

The Soundcore Q20 wireless headphones are a good value at their standard $65.99, and now they're on sale for $43.99, or 33% off. They have active noise cancellation paired with memory phone ear cups for a design that truly blocks out the world. These headphones can go for days, with up to 40 hours of battery life with ANC turned on. And if you're a bass lover, you can use the BassUp feature on the headphones that'll crank up the bass.

Normally $65.99, the Soundcore Q20 wireless headphones, are already a pretty good price for all you get. But during the Big Spring Sale, they're an even better price of $43.99. That knocks off $22 for 33% savings.

Although the TikTok hype has mostly died down, Stanley still makes stellar cups. The quality has never wavered. If you don't care about what's popular amongst the teens, the Stanley IceFlow 30-ounce tumbler is a great choice — and it's on sale.

Typically $35, the Stanley IceFlow 30-ounce tumbler is down to just $28 at Amazon as of March 28 during its Big Spring Sale. That's 20% in savings on select color options: navy, plum, cream, and tigerlily plum.

Like the other buzzworthy Stanley cup, the IceFlow tumbler is double-wall vacuum insulated, leakproof, car cup holder-friendly, and dishwasher safe. It'll keep ice for up to two days and stay chilled for at least half a day. Plus — and this is the best part — it has a super convenient, ergonomic, rotating handle to make it easy to tote around and a flip-straw lid. Ultimately, convenience and quality matter more for staying hydrated than keeping up with influencer culture — although it does help that you can select from a handful of colors to match your personality.

Is $28 still a lot of money to spend on a cup? Sure, but it's better than $35 and this thing is virtually indestructible. You won't need to buy another water bottle like, ever, thanks to Stanley's lifetime guarantee.

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is just about halfway over, but the deals are still going strong. If you're one of those people who is constantly losing their phone, keys, wallet, or another essential item (don't worry, we do too), you'd definitely benefit from some kind of portable tracker. Thankfully, AirTags exist.

It just so happens that during the Big Spring Sale, Apple AirTags are heavily discounted — you can get a four-pack of the pint-sized trackers for just $69.99, which is $29.01 off the original price. $69.99 still isn't cheap, but you'll be happy you made the investment next time you misplace something important.

Not only are AirTags convenient when it comes to size, but also in how you use them. All you need to do is connect the AirTag to your iPhone or iPad, and then you can keep track of wherever it is using the Find My app. That's all there is to it. Each Tag also has a built-in speaker that can play a tone to aid you in your search, and also features a Lost Mode that notifies you whenever the Find My app detects the device nearby. Ensure you never have to worry about losing your stuff again — pick up a four-pack of Apple AirTags during Amazon's Big Spring Sale and save $29.01.

SAVE $30: As of March 28, get the Anker Soundcore Sleep A20 earbuds for $119.99 at Amazon, down from their normal price of $149.99. That's a discount of 20%.

If you're a light sleeper, you probably know the struggle of trying to get some shut-eye and absolutely failing. Just as you drift off to sleep, there's some sort of noise that jars you awake. The end result? You're tired, cranky, and fed up. No one wants that. And if you don't want to wear earplugs, there's no really great solution to keep this from happening – unless you want to invest in something better: earbuds.

As of March 28, get the Anker Soundcore Sleep A20 earbuds for $119.99 at Amazon. That's $30 off their normal price of $149.99 and a discount of 20%.

These buds help you block out any noise that might be keeping you awake, and help you get through the night without interruptions. They offer a pressureless fit for side sleepers, so even if you aren't on your back all night, you don't have to worry about being jostled awake since one fell out due to your position.

They offer a custom sleep playlist for you to listen to, and come with multiple ear and wing tips to make sure you get the most comfortable fit possible. And they're also lightweight and easy to adjust to your ear before locking them in for an all-night fit.

They come with a charging case that gives you 10 nights of sleep, with 14 hours of playback in Sleep mode and 10 hours with Bluetooth. That's 80 hours of listening and 55 hours of streaming content, according to Anker, with a fully charged case. If it's time for a full night's sleep, it's time to try something a little different, but grab them fast since they're part of the Amazon Big Spring Sale.

SAVE $80: Shop the Lenovo Tab M9 for its lowest price ever of $69.99, down from $149.99. Save $80 on the tablet when purchased at Best Buy for 53% off. Or get it at Amazon for the also great price of $79.99.

Amazon's second annual Big Spring Sale kicked off this week (it runs through March 30) to bring a shower of deals across categories. The tech savings are pretty good — we've spotted savings on Macbooks and iPads. But don't fear, Android users, you can get in the deals game too.

The Lenovo Tab M9 is a worthy competitor in the tablet field. With a nine-inch display, it's a perfect canvas for streaming and with a long battery life, offering up to 13 hours of video playback, you can watch on the go.

It possesses a MTK G80 Octa Core processor and 32GB of storage, making it a decent set-up for gaming and browsing. Plus, it comes with a Google Lens camera so you can capture moments on the go.

Admittedly, 32GB isn't a great amount of storage, considering Apple just upped its iPads base storage to 128GB. However, the Lenovo is just half the price of the iPad, so some sacrifices might have to be made.

Usually starting at $149.99, the Lenovo is over half off thanks to Amazon's Big Spring Sale. But the best deal is actually at Best Buy. Right now, you can find the Lenovo Tab M9 for just $69.99, saving you $80 off for 53% savings. That's the lowest price ever on the device.

But if you prefer to shop it at Amazon, you can find it for $79.99 during the Big Spring Sale. That saves you $70 off, a great deal if Best Buy hadn't beaten the price.

We know that Dyson deals make a lot of noise during major shopping events like the Amazon Spring Sale, but not everyone wants to drop hundreds of dollars on a vacuum. Where is the love for the budget-friendly vacuums?

We're providing the love, because we think we've lined up the best cheap vacuum deal from the Big Spring Sale. As of March 26, the Levoit LVAC-200 cordless vacuum is on sale for $149.99 in the Amazon Big Spring Sale, saving you $50 on list price. It's not got all the advanced features that you might get with a Dyson or Shark, but this vacuuum gets the job done.

Frankly, we think the Levoit LVAC-200 cordless vacuum represents good value for money at full price, so a $50 discount is hard to ignore. It even has LED lights on the front so you can quickly spot dust and dirt, a feature that is usually limited to the more expensive models.

Save $50 on the Levoit LVAC-200 cordless vacuum in the Amazon Spring Sale.

Unless you're really trying to save space on the floor, there's little reason to not opt for a self-emptying robot vacuum these days. Automated vacuuming likely means more frequent vacuuming, and more frequent vacuuming means faster dustbin filling. And at this point, that shouldn't be your problem.

Automatic dustbin emptying has become such a mainstream robot vacuum feature that a ton of self-emptying robot vacs are solidly in the sub-$500 range — and even more models join that club when there's a big sale event. The latest one happens to line up perfectly with spring cleaning season: Amazon's second Big Spring Sale is happening from March 25 and March 31. And Amazon is extremely well-versed in robot vacuum deals.

With record-low prices popping up from the sale, your budget could wind up covering even more convenience-related features than you originally expected — further minimizing the amount of time you spend doing maintenance-related tasks for the vacuum. If you're set on a robot vacuum that mops, many self-empty docks in the list below also have water tanks and fans for self-washing and drying of the mopping pads after each use.

I'm tracking the best deals on self-emptying robot vacuum deals ahead of Amazon's sale below. Note: Deals with a 🔥 next to them have dropped to record-low prices.

When my favorite robot vacuum from 2024 drops to a new record-low price, of course that's the deal I'm going to recommend. But the deal looks even better when put in context with a 2025 Roborock that I'm testing right now. Compared to the 2025 Saros 10R, which goes for $1,599.99, you'd be getting a premium Roborock from 2024 with almost all of the same features for half the price.

The Qrevo Master obviously empties its own dustbin, but it extends that automated maintenance to automatic mopping pad washing and drying (plus automatic water tank refills) in that same dock. In my experience, this self-sustaining mopping pad situation makes me way more likely to actually use the robot mop — because otherwise, I end up forgoing a mopping cycle all together because I don't feel like washing the dirty pad by hand all the time.

The Qrevo Master also brings home premium features like flexible corner and edge mopping, automatic mop lifting when carpet is sensed, and a livestream pet camera. Its 10,000 Pa of suction power isn't as juicy as the 20,000 Pa on the pricey Saros 10R, but it's still more powerful than most other vacuums in this list.

In case you haven’t noticed, life has become expensive. From eggs to gas to pretty much everything in between, the cost of living has skyrocketed, leaving many of us feeling the pinch. Luckily, even as inflation squeezes our budgets, there are still opportunities to find great deals, especially with Amazon and its never-ending sales.

We’re covering the Amazon Big Spring Sale, which runs from March 25 through March 31. While the main event is underway, there are tons of deals under $25 that are worth grabbing.

Here are our picks for the best items to scoop up during the sale that won't break the bank.

Whenever I leave my apartment, I prop up a tiny off-brand camera to keep an eye on my pups. It’s not the best, but it’s enough to give me peace of mind.

If you’re looking for a more reliable indoor security camera, the TP-Link Tapo 1080p Indoor Security Camera is only $14.99 at Amazon. That’s 35% off the sticker price and just a few cents off from the all-time low.

The Tapo camera can send you instant push notifications whenever movement, a person, or a crying baby is detected. It has night vision, two-way audio, and high-definition 1080p video. And at under $15, it's a budget-friendly way to keep an eye on your home.

We’re usually all about gadgets, but sometimes, it's nice to take a break from screens and dive into a good old-fashioned book.

The hardcover version of Atomic Habits by James Clear is only $9.66 right now (with an on-page coupon), down from its usual $27 list price. That’s way cheaper than what you’ll find it for on the shelves. If you prefer the Kindle edition, that’s on sale for $12.99.

Atomic Habits is one of the most popular self-help books of the last few years, with over 20 million copies sold. It’s all about building better habits, one tiny change at a time — the perfect read if you're trying to make improvements in your life.

Amazon is hosting its second-ever Big Spring Sale from March 25 to 31, its first major savings event of the year. While the sale mainly revolves around deals on warm-weather essentials and cleaning products, the Mashable Shopping team is also seeing it prompt some of the season's best prices on Apple devices, including the fruit company's latest wearable: Every configuration of last fall's Apple Watch Series 10 is now on sale at its all-time low, saving shoppers up to $120.

Those interested in a different model will have to be less picky or more patient. The second-gen Apple Watch SE is $80 off across the board — a discount that brings the cellular version down to its lowest price on record, but not the GPS-only variant. (It's still $20 away.) Meanwhile, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is only $30 to $64.11 off on Amazon, depending on the color and band style. We've previously seen it drop by $80 to $120, so hold off on buying it for now.

Don't worry about monitoring prices yourself — we've already got it handled. Read on for our running list of the best Apple Watch deals on Amazon during its Big Spring Sale, which we plan on updating regularly as the event progresses into next week. Note: Deals with a 🔥 next to them have dropped to record-low prices.

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is officially here. While the sale, which runs from March 25 through 31, focuses mainly on more seasonal-centric items like grilling equipment and gardening supplies, last year we saw plenty of headphones and speakers deals go live during the week-long event. And this year appears no different.

Overall, we don't expect as dramatic markdowns as Amazon tends to offer during Prime Day or Black Friday. But since most of this sale is open to all shoppers — not just Prime members — it's a decent time to double-check your shopping list, whether you're in the market for a new TV or some Tile trackers.

Check out our full review of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds.

The best noise-cancelling earbuds we've tested and our favorite earbuds for travel, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds, are hella impressive. They check all the right boxes: long battery life, easy connectivity, comfortable and secure fit, and unbeatable noise cancellation. Mashable contributor Timothy Beck Werth writes, "Bose's noise cancellation is so good that I often use these earbuds when I'm not even listening to music." At $219, they're not exactly cheap, but that 27% discount certainly beats paying the full $299.

The JBL Charge 5 tops our list of the best Bluetooth speakers as the ultimate all-rounder. "It’s rich, dynamic, and surprisingly clear with a decent bass that fills the room without overpowering the rest of the audio," our reviewer writes. Other perks are its impressive 20-hour battery life, sturdy build, and ability to charge other mobile devices via USB-A (even if it's playing music). While it's not down to its best price ever, it's not every day we see it drop down to $119.95.
