Outdoor cooking season has arrived. If you're looking to diversify your meals beyond typical grill favorites, an outdoor pizza oven is calling your name. And one of the most popular (and affordable) options is on sale at just the right time.

As of April 7, the Ooni Karu 12 outdoor pizza oven is down to just $249 at Amazon. That's 39% or $100 off its list price of $349 and its lowest price on record.

The Karu 12 lets you use wood, charcoal, or the Ooni Gas Burner attachment (sold separately) to make restaurant-quality pizzas. It will take about 15 minutes to heat up to a blazing hot 950 degrees Fahrenheit, which allows you to make nearly instant pizzas (under 60 seconds). There is a little bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, professional-level pizzas will certainly be flowing.

What's great about the Ooni Karu model is that it's decently portable at just 26.5 pounds. Fold up the legs and pack it with you for your next camping trip, tailgate, or picnic. You're not limited to just pizza, either. The high heat and fuel flexibility give you endless options — wood-fired wings, seared steaks, whole chickens, and so much more.

There's a new generation of the pizza oven available, but it'll cost you $200 more. And honestly, it's not all that different. If you want to keep some extra money in your pocket, go with the first-gen Karu 12 while it's on sale.

Richard Gadd’s ‘Half Man’ trailer is tense as hell

Tue, 04/07/2026 - 17:00

What's next for Emmy-winning Baby Reindeer creator and star Richard Gadd? Something light? Hell no.

BBC has released the trailer for Half Man, Gadd's six-episode TV series about a deeply toxic relationship. We meet Ruben (Gadd) and Niall (All of Us Strangers' Jamie Bell), who grew up together as brothers, though they're not blood relatives. They're complete opposites, but share a strong bond. But what happened between them in adolescence that makes Ruben's appearance at Niall's wedding 30 years later so incredibly tense? A blend of past secrets and present revelations, Half Man promises to be a serious watch.

The cast also features Mitchell Robertson, Stuart Campbell, Neve McIntosh, Marianne McIvor, Charlie De Melo, Anjli Mohindra, Bilal Hasna, Julie Cullen, Amy Manson, Tim Downie, Tom Andrews, and more.

Half Man will be released weekly in the U.S. on HBO and HBO Max from 9 p.m. ET on April 23, and in the UK on BBC iPlayer from 6 a.m. on April 24.

New iPhone Fold leak reveals size versus iPhone 18 Pro

Tue, 04/07/2026 - 16:29

Apple is expected to release the first foldable iPhone later this year (or potentially in 2027), and this week, a leaker claims to have a close-up look at the device.

Leaker Sonny Dickson shared photos on his X account purporting to show dummy models for the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the iPhone Fold.

The first two devices, as you'd expect, look like other iPhone Pro models, with three camera lenses in a rectangular bump on the back. One of them, presumably the Pro Max, looks a little bigger than the other. However, the real juice here is the alleged iPhone Fold model, representing one of the first looks at what could be a real representation of the upcoming, still unannounced phone.

SEE ALSO: iPhone Fold leaks, rumors, and renders: Everything we know This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

While Dickson didn't share exact size dimensions in his post, it's clear just from using your eyes that the iPhone Fold is both very wide and significantly more squat than its brethren. In fact, it looks even more wide and short than something like the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The leaked iPhone Fold model also has two rear camera lens cut-outs in a smaller raised bump than the ones found on the iPhone 18 Pro models.

These dummy models largely match what we've seen from previous leaks and renders of the device.

According to prior reports, the iPhone Fold's outer display will only be 5.5 inches, a big downsizing compared to regular iPhone models. However, once opened up, users will have access to 7.8 inches of screen space. The iPhone Fold is also rumored to cost more than $2,000, though, so it will likely come with a steep price tag.

While we expect the iPhone Fold to launch later in 2026, a new report coinciding with Dickson's latest leak suggests the launch could be pushed into 2027. At any rate, this is a lot of information to digest about a device Apple hasn't even confirmed yet.

The Cuisinart FastFreeze ice cream maker is on sale for under $100 in time for warmer weather

Tue, 04/07/2026 - 16:21

SAVE $20.01: The Cuisinart FastFreeze 5-in-1 frozen dessert maker is on sale at Amazon for $99.94, down from the list price of $119.95. That's a 17% discount that matches the lowest we've ever seen at Amazon.

We finally did it, everyone. We made it to the warmth of spring. Sunsets in the 4 p.m. hour won't come back to haunt us for months now, and that means it's all eyes on how to celebrate the summer. If you're a fan of frozen treats, check out this fun deal at Amazon.

As of April 7, the Cuisinart FastFreeze 5-in-1 frozen dessert maker is on sale at Amazon for $99.94, marked down from the standard price of $119.95. That works out to a savings of $20.01 from a 17% discount. It also matches the lowest we've ever seen at Amazon.

There's something extra delicious about making dessert at home, but not many of us tackle the task of making ice cream. However, Cuisinart has taken all of the guesswork out of making our own tasty treats at home. The Cuisinart FastFreeze has five functions to make delights in your own kitchen: ice cream, sorbet, milkshakes, slushies, and mix-ins. All together, this could be the most delicious summer yet.

It's simple to use the FastFreeze. Just add your ingredients to the half-pint containers, freeze for 24 hours, and then let the FastFreeze do the hard work. All you need to do is press down to activate the motor and blades.

Aside from the benefit of being able to create your own flavors instead of being confined those in the frozen aisle, the FastFreeze is compact and relatively easy to store. Unlike some popular at-home ice cream makers, the Fast Freeze can get tucked into a drawer or a cabinet. It's also travel-friendly, so you can pack it along on the summer road trip to the cabin.

The FastFreeze is also excellent if you're on a dairy-free diet or like to play around with ingredient like adding protein powder to a milkshake. On top of the convenience, the three included half-pint containers are safe to pop in the dishwasher.

While the Cuisinart FastFreeze 5-in-1 frozen dessert maker is back at a record-low price of under $100, upgrade your spring and summer at-home menus. No one, absolutely no one, will be upset about having homemade ice cream as the temperatures continue to rise.

A24s The Invite trailer: Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton really dig Seth Rogen and Olivia Wildes vibe

Tue, 04/07/2026 - 15:05

A24 has released a trailer for The Invite, teasing a dinner party which looks set to be much more dramatic than the hosts had planned.

A remake of the 2020 Spanish comedy The People Upstairs, The Invite follows couple Joe (Seth Rogen) and Angela (Olivia Wilde, who also directs). The pair's marriage is struggling, their previous spark having been replaced by disagreements and disgruntlement.

Their relationship soon comes to a potential crossroads when they invite their upstairs neighbours (Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton) for a dinner party. A notably more laid-back pair than their hosts, it looks as though Joe and Angela's guests have seen the couple from their apartment window and really dig their vibes.

The Invite is scheduled for a limited release in theatres June 26.

Waymo is now offering fully autonomous rides in Nashville

Tue, 04/07/2026 - 15:00

Waymo is now offering fully autonomous, driverless taxi rides in Nashville.

We knew this was coming. The company's robotaxis were spotted driving around without a human safety driver in Nashville back in February, but the service wasn't open to the public yet.

SEE ALSO: Waymo's robotaxis go driverless in Nashville

Starting now, however, Waymo users will be getting invites for fully driverless rides in Nashville. Initially, the service will cover a 60-square-mile area (see map below), and Waymo says it's also planning to include the Nashville International Airport in the "near future."

The Nashville International Airport isn't included right now, but Waymo should be expanding there soon. Credit: Waymo

If you haven't received your invite, it should be coming soon. Waymo says the gradual rollout enables it to "thoughtfully scale while delivering a consistent, high-quality experience."

The service will initially be offered through Waymo app, but the company says it will also start serving some rides through project partner Lyft's app "later this year."

Featured Video For You I took a ride in a robotaxi: How close are we to a driverless future?

Waymo has been aggressively expanding in recent months, likely due to its chief competitor, Tesla, doing the same with its Robotaxi service. Most recently, Waymo has expanded its test vehicles in Chicago, Illinois, and Charlotte. The company's expansion follows a $16 billion financing round in February, with Waymo promising to expand to over 20 more cities in 2026.

Google: Teens cant treat Gemini like a companion

Tue, 04/07/2026 - 12:00

On Tuesday, Google shared for the first time details about how its AI chatbot Gemini is designed not to act like a companion or claim to be human when interacting with minors.

The information, published by the company in a blog post, was announced among changes to better support the mental health of users engaging with Gemini.

Child safety and mental health experts have long worried that companion-like chatbots are too dangerous for teens to use. Last year, the advocacy group Common Sense Media rated the teen and under-13 versions of Gemini as "high risk" after its researchers determined that the chatbot exposed kids to inappropriate content, including sex, drugs, alcohol, and unsafe mental health "advice."

SEE ALSO: How teens really feel about AI and their future

The group recommended that no one under 18 turn to an AI chatbot for companionship or mental health support.

Google said that Gemini has "persona protections" when engaging with under-18 users. The longstanding constraints are designed to prevent emotional dependence and avoid "language that simulates intimacy or expresses needs," according to Google. Other safeguards should help discourage the chatbot from bullying and other types of harassment.

"Our safety efforts continue to evolve and reflect our ongoing commitment to creating a healthy and positive digital environment where young people can explore and learn with confidence," Google said in the company's blog post.

Google also announced that it updated Gemini to streamline resources for users who may seek or need mental health resources. A new "one-touch" interface will offer varied connections to crisis hotline resources, including via chat, call, and text.

That interface will appear throughout a conversation with Gemini once it's activated. Google said that it is trying to prioritize helping users receive human support. Additionally, Gemini's responses are supposed to encourage help-seeking instead of validating harmful behaviors and confirming false beliefs.

SEE ALSO: Explaining the phenomenon known as 'AI psychosis'

In March, Google and its parent company Alphabet, were sued by the family of an adult man who allege he killed himself at Gemini's urging.

"Gemini is designed not to encourage real-world violence or suggest self-harm," Google said in a statement at the time. "Our models generally perform well in these types of challenging conversations and we devote significant resources to this, but unfortunately AI models are not perfect."

If you're feeling suicidal or experiencing a mental health crisis, please talk to somebody. You can call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988, or chat at 988lifeline.org. You can reach the Trans Lifeline by calling 877-565-8860 or the Trevor Project at 866-488-7386. Text "START" to Crisis Text Line at 741-741. Contact the NAMI HelpLine at 1-800-950-NAMI, Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. ET, or email info@nami.org. If you don't like the phone, consider using the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline Chat. Here is a list of international resources.

Sometimes cheaper is better: Reviewing the Soundcore Space One and Space One Pro headphones

Tue, 04/07/2026 - 11:01

I think we can all agree that headphone prices have gotten out of hand. Even if the Sony WH-1000XM6 and Bose QuietComfort Ultra are worth their price tags, the average person can't spend $400 to $500 on a pair of headphones. Affordable noise-cancelling headphones are widely available, but are they any good? Previously, we've loved the JLab Lux headphones, but what about Soundcore's lineup?

Soundcore's Space One and Space One Pro offer affordable and midrange options to the headphone game. And both are wildly popular: the Soundcore headphones have over 14,000 reviews on Amazon, and I see them everywhere. As a product reviewer, I'm always eyeing what people are wearing at the gym or coffee shop, and quickly, I noticed how many folks were wearing the Space One and Space One Pro headphones.

Soundcore's Space One and Space One Pro headphones are similar to Bose's headphone tiers, with the Bose QuietComfort and QuietComfort Ultra. While that means they exist at two different price points, it also means the headphones are similar with a few key differences.

The Soundcore Space One headphones are priced at $99.99 with the following features:

  • Noise cancellation: Adaptive active noise cancellation

  • Sound: Hi-Res

  • Battery life: 40 hours with ANC or 55 hours without ANC

  • Fast charging: 5 minutes of charging for 4 hours of playback

  • Mics: 3 Mics

  • Weight: 265 grams

  • Colors: Cloud pink, latte cream, sky blue, and abyss black

The Soundcore Space One Pro headphones are priced at $199.99 with the following features:

  • Noise cancellation: Adaptive active noise cancellation 3.0

  • Sound: Hi-Res with lossless audio support

  • Battery life: 40 hours with ANC or 60 hours without ANC

  • Fast charging: 5 minutes of charging for 8 hours of playback

  • Mics: 4 Mics

  • Weight: 286.2 grams

  • Colors: Cream white and jet black

The Soundcore Space One and Space One Pro both have a great look, especially for budget headphones. When I first spotted them out in the wild, I thought they were a pair of Beats because they looked like the Studio Pros. Turns out, the Soundcore and Beats logos just look remarkably similar.

The Soundcore Space One and Space One Pro headphones stand on their own, with sleek, shiny design elements and rounded features. Both are made from lightweight plastic, so while they look expensive, they do feel noticeably cheaper than higher-end brands. The Space One Pros have a little more heft, so they feel more expensive, earning their higher price tag.

The controls are the exact same. On the left ear cup is the power button and a button to control noise cancellation. On the right ear cup is the play/pause button and the volume controls. All the buttons work great, and I prefer them far more than the touch controls of higher-end headphones.

One pair is surprising more comfortable than the other Both the Space One and Space One Pro headphones have intuitive button controls. Credit: Samantha Mangino / Mashable

One odd design choice separating the Space One and Space One Pro is that the ear cups on the Space Ones have a slight eight-degree tilt for an adjustable fit.

Generally, the Space One headphones weren't as snug a fit as the Space One Pros. That being said, I preferred the comfort of the Space One headphones. I wear glasses and earrings daily, and while wearing the Space Ones, I was always comfortable with no pinching on my ears.

The Space One Pros have a tighter fit, which, on the one hand, means better passive noise cancellation. On the other hand, it is harder to get comfortable with the Space One Pro headphones. The tight fit on the headphones meant I was constantly adjusting to get them comfortable, and wearing them for an hour started to give me a headache.

So, on comfort alone, I prefer the Space Ones.

Middling audio quality and noise cancellation

I wasn't blown away by either the Soundcore Space One or Space One pro headphones — both were good but not great. On specs alone, the Space One and Space One Pro are incredibly similar, both with active noise cancellation and hi-res sound. Where the Pros have a leg up is a more advanced version of ANC and lossless audio. In my experience, the sound is virtually the same.

What it ultimately came down to was the headphones' fit. Since the Space One Pro headphones have a tighter fit, it created more passive noise cancellation. When I wore both out at a coffee shop to work, the Space One Pros were better at blocking out the cafe's buzz.

Battery life to last for days

Despite the $100 price difference between the two pairs of headphones, their battery life is fairly similar. The Space One headphones have 40 hours of battery life with ANC and 55 hours without, while the Space One Pro headphones have the same battery life with ANC but 60 hours without.

In my time testing the two pairs of headphones, I found similar results. When using the headphones for a couple of hours a day, I could go about two weeks before needing to recharge them — and that's with active noise cancellation on.

Unless you don't plan to use active noise cancellation on the headphones, the Pros aren't worth it given the battery life.

Go for the cheaper pair: The Soundcore Space One Having tested both, we prefer the Soundcore Space One headphones over the Pros. Credit: Samantha Mangino / Mashable

Testing the Soundcore Space One and Space One Pro headphones side by side, the biggest difference is their price tags. Since that's the case, I say go for the cheaper option, the Soundcore Space One. The battery life is essentially the same as the Pros, plus, they're the more comfortable pair of headphones.

If you want to splurge and prioritize noise cancellation, go for the Soundcore Space One Pro headphones. They have a tighter fit, resulting in better noise cancellation. However, we're big fans of saving money where you can, and in this case, the cheaper Soundcore Space One are our preferred headphones.
