Pokémon fans are some of the luckiest when it comes to fun merch, collectibles, and all-ages toys. Earlier this year, we got the first ever Pokémon Lego sets, and in celebration of the little studs turning 30, we have the Pokémon G-SHOCK watch from Casio.

Unlike some themed merch, G-SHOCK went with an excellent but subdued look with the new watch. That's pretty awesome if you're hoping for a fun watch that's also suitable to wear to work. Here's everything we know about the new collab that celebrates Pokémon's 30th birthday.

Features of the new Pokémon G-SHOCK GA110PKM

Let's start with the looks of the Pokémon G-SHOCK. In terms of celebrating the franchise, the watch has a handful of excellent details. There's the Poké Ball inspired inset dial sitting at 9 p.m. with a Pikachu indicator hand, engraving on the back of the watch face, and Pokémon adorned on the watch band.

As if we needed things to get even better, the watch comes in its own packing shaped like a Poké Ball that's well worth displaying on its own, and the outer box features all 30 Pokémon.

If you're interested in some technical information, G-SHOCK made this edition with the same quality and attention to detail we've come to rely on from the brand. It's both shock resistant and magnetic resistant. It's also safe to take in water up to 200 meters deep. Casio says expected battery life is about two years, and it uses a CR1220. In total, it comes in at a lightweight 72 grams.

How to pre-order the Pokémon G-SHOCK GA110PKM

Starting on Wednesday, July 1, you can pre-order the new Pokémon watch from Casio for $270. If you can't wait that long and you live in New York, you can snag the watch from the G-SHOCK SOHO flagship store. Casio also says the watch will be available at select jewelers.

Casio's press release doesn't indicate whether this is a limited edition watch. But given the brand's popularity and the fandom behind Pokémon, we wouldn't be surprised if stock sells out quickly. Be sure to set yourself an alarm for Wednesday if you're hoping to wear one of the best Pokémon collabs to ever drop.

You're not wrong that the modern graphical apps on Linux have improved—by a lot. You're also not wrong to wonder why that improvement hasn't pulled more terminal users over to the graphical side. However, the answer isn't necessarily about loyalty or habit. While I can’t speak for everyone, here’s are five reasons why I personally like using command-line interface (CLI) and terminal user interface (TUI) apps over graphical user interface (GUI) apps.

Erling Haaland has been one of the most popular players so far this FIFA World Cup, both on the pitch and off it.

But with the Norwegian striker's Snapchat already going viral, another video recently started doing the rounds that looked set to top all memes that came before it. In the clip, Haaland is sitting in a restaurant at a table by a mirror, eating. He turns to his left, sees himself in the mirror, and appears to give himself a jump scare before quickly going back to his food.

It's a clip so perfect it seems to good to be true, which is exactly what it is.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. The viral clip of Haaland eating isn't real

Judging by the comments, and the number of shares that clip has had on other platforms, a lot of people seem to think it's real. But as one person pointed out, the footage appears to be an AI edit of this video from TikTok comedy duo Jin Long and Qui Qui.

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

That video, in which Jin Long plays a character (you can see multiple examples of him playing the same character on their TikTok page), was uploaded on June 15.

It appears that someone has edited the video — likely using AI — to superimpose Haaland over Long.

Chaos Rising prices have been all over the place, but what's new with the Pokémon TCG? Now you can pay just over $50 to buy its coveted box of six packs. 

As of June 30, the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Chaos Rising Booster Bundle is on sale from $50.26 at Amazon. Compared to its $59.99 list price, that saves you $9.73 and takes 16% off the sealed box. 

The lowest Amazon listing is sold by Collectors Expedition and shipped by Amazon, with free delivery listed for July 17-29 at the time of writing. If you’d rather buy directly from Amazon, the next listing is only one cent more at $50.27, sold and shipped by Amazon directly with faster delivery showing for July 9-12. 

Whichever way you go, you’ll still be getting six titular packs from the Mega Evolution set’s Chaos Rising expansion — working out to about $8.38 per pack before taxes, based on the $50.26 price.

That isn’t the cheapest Chaos Rising price across the whole trading card market. TCGplayer currently lists sealed Booster Bundles from $38.95 plus $2.99 shipping, totalling $41.94 (four cents under market price). Walmart is another backup, selling the box from $45.84. We should note that the third-party seller in this case has a poor record, so buy at your own risk. 

For the best pulls you can get in Chaos Rising with your Booster Bundle, this expansion has plenty of high-value single cards you can get out of any of these packs (or buy individually from TCGplayer): SIR Mega Greninja ex, Mega Hyper Rare Mega Greninja ex, Cinccino ex, Mega Dragalge ex, and Mega Floette ex.

For even more from this expansion, you can still grab the Pokémon TCG’s Chaos Rising Elite Trainer Box on sale at Amazon. Plus, preorders for the upcoming Pitch Black 3 Booster Pack Blister are now $5 off at Amazon.

The Samsung 48-inch S90F has dropped to $797.99 at Amazon, down from $1,397.99. That cuts $600 off its regular price for a 43% discount. That also marks the lowest price we've seen so far for Samsung's 2025 OLED model.

The Samsung S90F focuses on making everything you watch look cleaner, brighter, and sharper without making you think too much about settings. The TV automatically adjusts picture and sound depending on what’s on screen, whether that’s movies, sports, live TV, or gaming, so you spend less time tweaking default settings.

The smart TV also helps improve lower-quality content, helping older shows and everyday streams look sharper on a 4K screen. Samsung also puts a lot of emphasis on brightness and contrast here, so darker scenes retain more detail while brighter parts of the image stand out without washing things out.

For gaming and sports, the TV is built to keep fast movement looking smooth. The 144Hz refresh rate helps fast-moving scenes look smoother and less blurry, making sports, racing games, and quick camera movements easier to keep up with. Gaming features can also help reduce screen tearing, so gameplay feels cleaner and more responsive.

Grab the Samsung 48-inch S90F on Amazon if a premium TV has been sitting on your wishlist for a while.

So, how does it work? Instead of relying on traditional hot plates, this Dyson tool uses high-pressure airflow to straighten hair as it dries, with precisely heated air distributed evenly through strands for a smoother finish.

It's designed to protect hair health, and is engineered to style without extreme heat damage when used in wet-to-dry mode. The airflow is intelligent too, automatically adjusting depending on how you’re using it. For example, it produces a higher airflow when styling and then senses when hair is not between your arms. It then reduces airflow when not in use for a quieter experience.

This Dyson deal is available at Amazon now, but only for a limited time so don't miss out.

The 2026 World Cup knockout stage has kicked off in style. Already we've seen a dramatic late goal from Canada to eliminate South Africa, tense action from Brazil, and shock exits of Germany and Netherlands.

Today, June 30, showcases another batch of exciting fixtures, including the likes of France and Mexico.

It all kicks off at 1 p.m. ET, with three games across the afternoon and evening.

FIFA World Cup schedule today: June 30

• Ivory Coast vs. Norway (Dallas Stadium) — kickoff at 1 p.m. ET

• France vs. Sweden (New York New Jersey Stadium) — kickoff at 5 p.m. ET

• Mexico vs. Ecuador (Mexico City Stadium) — kickoff at 9 p.m. ET

How to watch FIFA World Cup games todayWatch Ivory Coast vs. Norway

Norway's superstar striker Erling Haaland was benched for their last game, but he'll be back in full force for this Round of 32 match. Haaland's powerful presence means Norway are as good as they've ever been, but Ivory Coast are one of those teams that can sting anyone unexpectedly.

Live coverage will be on Fox and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Watch France vs. Sweden

France have looked better than any team in the tournament so far, even when they took their foot off the gas in the last group game against Norway — a patchy effort that still saw them win 4-1. Sweden could prove tricky competition though. They have major firepower in Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres and determination to overcome their 5-1 loss to Netherlands.

Live coverage will be on Fox and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Watch Mexico vs. Ecuador

Co-hosts Mexico won all three group games and haven't conceded a single goal so far. With electric support in Mexico City, they'll be fired up for another win. But Ecuador have tenacity and guts — as we saw when they scored a shock late winner against Germany in the group stage — and they'll be sure to take the fight to the Mexican squad.

Mikey Angelo has experienced VidCon from both sides of the camera.

The creator attended his first convention as a fan, idolizing early YouTube stars like Fred and dreaming about one day making videos of his own. Now, five VidCons later, Angelo is walking the convention floor as one of the featured creators and reflecting on how dramatically the internet has changed since those early days.

SEE ALSO: Mikey Angelo is TikTok's musical satirist-in-chief

In this VidCon edition of Creator Playbook, Angelo opens up about building a career by documenting the unfolding of internet culture. His monthly musical recaps have become a staple for followers looking to catch up on everything that happened online, but behind each song are hours of scrolling, note-taking, and deciding which moments deserve a place in the final cut.

"It's basically me regurgitating my own For You Page," he tells Mashable in our VidCon studio.

SEE ALSO: Mikey Angelo's 3 essential tools for creating viral content

That constant internet connection comes with its own challenges. Angelo speaks candidly about creator burnout, why he struggles to disconnect from social media, and how he balances keeping up with trends without simply chasing them. Rather than participating in every viral moment, he says he'd rather document them in his own voice — a strategy that's helped him stand out in an increasingly crowded creator economy.

The conversation also explores his hopes of returning to long-form YouTube, his ambitions as a songwriter beyond internet recaps, and why the word "creator" no longer fully captures what many online personalities do today.

Ivory Coast showed real guts in the group stage, taking a fight to Germany and beating both Curacao and Ecuador.

The first round of Wimbledon includes some really interesting matchups, but Fritz vs. Draper might be the best of the bunch. It's harsh on Fritz to be matched up with a player like Draper at this early stage, but Draper is still trying to come back from a long-term injury. Draper has missed the Australian Open and French Open this year, so he's bound to be a little rusty.

Two decades after Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway stepped into their groundbreaking roles as Runway editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly and assistant Andy Sachs, the two are back with what Mashable's reviewer calls a "perfect sequel."

The Devil Wears Prada 2 reunites the core cast from the original, which also includes Stanley Tucci as Nigel Kipling and Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton, as well as director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna. It also adds a killer supporting cast and a revolving door of star-studded cameos. The result is a glitzy and glamorous sequel that follows the lead of the beloved original.

As Mashable's Shannon Connellan puts it, "It's unmistakably The Devil Wears Prada, but make it 2026."

It hit theaters in May and folks flocked to see it on the big screen. If you haven't seen it yet or you can't wait to see it again, you can officially watch The Devil Wears Prada 2 at home. Here's what you need to know.

What is The Devil Wears Prada 2 about?

In general, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is about the state of journalism in 2026. But specifically, it follows Andy's return to Runway magazine 20 years after her time as Miranda Priestly's assistant following a mass layoff from her newspaper. Miranda's facing hardships herself in the new publishing industry and Andy's spark is just what Runway needs.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 opened in theaters nationwide on May 1, 2026. If you missed out, no biggie; it's now officially available to watch at home in a couple of different ways. As of June 30, 2026, you can buy it or rent it on digital and on July 31, you can stream it. I've broken down the details below.

Buy or rent on digital

The Devil Wears Prada sequel officially makes its at-home debut via video-on-demand retailers on June 30, 2026. You can purchase it for your digital library for $29.99 or rent it for $5 less. Pro-tip: If you wait about a month to buy or rent it, those prices will likely drop significantly.

Here are some quick links to buy the film on digital:

• Apple TV — $29.99 to buy, $24.99 to rent

• Fandango at Home — $29.99 to buy, $24.99 to rent

• Prime Video — $29.99 to buy, $24.99 to rent

Stream it on Hulu

The Devil Wears Prada 2 will make its streaming debut on Hulu on July 29, 2026, about a month after its digital release. Despite its $678 million box office success, that three-month window from the theater to streaming is right on par with other 20th Century Studios films.

Hulu subscriptions start at $11.99 per month (thanks to a late 2025 price hike), but there are a few different ways you can save. We've rounded up the best ongoing Hulu streaming deals below.

The best Hulu streaming dealsBest Hulu deal for most people: Hulu annual subscription Opens in a new window Credit: Hulu Hulu (with ads) annual subscription $119.99 per year (save $23.89) Get Deal

An annual Hulu plan is your best bet for cutting back on the cost of a subscription. You'll pay for a year up front for $119.99 (which breaks down to $9.99 per month) instead of $143.88. That's about 16% or just shy of $24 in savings. It's not the biggest discount ever, but every dollar counts.

Best bundle deal: Get Hulu and Disney+ for 50% off Opens in a new window Credit: Hulu / Disney+ Hulu and Disney+ (with ads) $11.99 per month (save $11.99 per month) for six months Get Deal

The Disney bundle plans are the best deals in the streaming world, hands down. For a limited time, you can sign up for a six-month subscription to both for only $11.99 per month (reg. $12.99 per month). That means you'll get one streaming service completely for free for six months. After the six-month promotional period, you'll pay just a dollar more per month — still a damn good deal if you ask me.

Best for students: Hulu Student Opens in a new window Credit: Hulu Hulu Student (with ads) $1.99 per month (save $10 per month) Get Deal

College students can slash 83% or $10 per month off a Hulu with ads subscription. Sign up through the Hulu Student promotional page and verify your college email address via SheerID, and the price will drop from $11.99 to just $1.99 per month. The deal is valid as long as your student status can be verified.

Best for T-Mobile users: Hulu (with ads) free for select customers Opens in a new window Credit: T-Mobile / Hulu Hulu (with ads) free for select T-Mobile customers Get Deal

The only way you can get Hulu for free in 2026 is through T-Mobile's Go5G Next and Experience Beyond plans (you'll also get Netflix for free and Apple TV+ for $3). If you're already on one of these plans, head over to the T-Mobile promo page and choose "redeem now" to claim the offer. Just enter your T-Mobile number and account details to sign up for Hulu.
