I can say, without qualms, that I love my smartphone. These words didn't come easily to me. For years, I loathed this device. I wish my family members didn't pressure me to own one. But I've since taken steps to reclaim this device that for so long didn't feel like my own. That starts with doing away with many of the most popular apps.

For years, the Toyota RAV4 has been the default pick if you wanted a compact Toyota SUV. It was still the brand’s bestseller in 2025—but it’s no longer the fastest-growing one.

Mar10 Day, the day of celebration for all things Mario, is just one day away. This year, Nintendo celebrates the 40th anniversary of the iconic game series, and they're kicking off their sale with tons of deals on top Mario titles. Let's-a-go, indeed.

So far, the best Mar10 Day deals are exclusively on video games, the majority of which can be found from the Nintendo eShop, but there's also a few worth checking out at Amazon. The eShop's sale will be on through March 15 at 11:59 PT (we anticipate Amazon will likely mimic the sale times).

Below, find the best deals on Mario games we've gathered so far:

Name one thing one more timeless than the special blend of fun and abject anger found in every game of Mario Party. You can't! The latest installment of the game, Mario Party Jamboree, is no exception, with Mashable's Alex Perry calling it "mean in all the best ways." This Mario Day deal brings it down to its lowest price ever, both for the original Switch and Switch 2 editions of the game (though for anyone looking to save a little extra money, it's worth noting the original game is compatible on both consoles).

As of March 9, you can get the TCL 55-inch Class T7 Series 4K QLED TV for $390, down from $599.99, at Amazon. That's a 35% discount or just about $210 in savings.

For under $400, the specs on this 2025 model are genuinely solid. You'll get a 4K QLED display and a 120Hz refresh rate, which is just a technical way of saying you won't get annoying motion blur when you're watching live sports or playing fast-paced video games. It runs on Google TV, so all your streaming apps are built right in. It also works with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit if you prefer voice commands over digging through your couch cushions for the remote.

New information about Apple's long-rumored foldable iPhone keeps leaking.

The latest leak comes from longtime Apple leaker Sonny Dickson, who shared what looks like a few photos from the 3D CAD rendering files showing the iPhone Fold's hardware design.

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

This isn't the first design leak we've seen for the iPhone Fold, which has a wider shape than the flagship foldables we've seen from Samsung, Google, and OnePlus.

Dickson's leak closely matches an earlier leak from YouTuber Jon Prosser of FrontPageTech.

As 9to5Mac points out, the back of the device shows the same camera plateau as found on the iPhone Air. However, the foldable device has two lenses on the back of the phone. In addition, a pinhole for the selfie cam can be found on the front of the device when it is closed. There also appears to be another pinhole for a selfie camera on the left-hand corner of the device when it is opened as well.

A foldable iPhone has long been a rumor among Apple fans and industry insiders. Reporters and analysts like Mark Gurman and Ming-Chi Kuo have all but confirmed that Apple is actively working on such a device, with a release potentially scheduled for fall 2026.

SEE ALSO: Everything we know about the iPhone Fold: Specs, pricing, rumors and leaks

According to Prosser and other leakers, the foldable iPhone will have a 5.5-inch external display, and the opened foldable screen will measure at 7.8 inches. When the device is closed, the foldable iPhone will be 9mm thick, and when opened, its thickness will roughly be 4.5mm, or even thinner than the iPhone Air.

Prosser's report also shared that the device is equipped with a total of four cameras, which would match the two rear cameras and the two selfie cameras as seen in the 3D rendering.

The details about the iPhone Fold from Prosser are notable considering that Apple is currently suing the YouTuber over separate leaks that Prosser shared previously concerning iOS 26 and Liquid Glass. According to Apple's lawsuit, another individual mentioned in the suit sent the information from an Apple employee's phone, which further legitimizes Prosser's sources.

For now, none of these potential iPhone Fold specs are confirmed.

In theory, building your own gaming PC sounds like a fun weekend project. In reality, it involves stressing over cable management and praying you applied the thermal paste correctly. I'm a huge advocate for just buying a solid, ready-to-go pre-built rig so you can skip straight to the gaming part — especially when there's a discount this good.

As of March 9, you can get the Alienware Aurora Gaming Desktop (Intel Core Ultra 7 265F, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) for $1,249.99, down from $2,149.99, at Dell. That's a 42% discount or $900 savings.

Our sister site, PCMag, reviewed this 2025 Aurora lineup and gave it a 4.0 "Excellent" rating. They loved its "space-age" design, but the best part is obviously the hardware. (As a bonus, reviewers noted it runs "nearly silent" even under heavy gaming loads.)

It also has super-convenient front-panel ports, so you don't have to awkwardly reach around the back of the machine to plug in your headset or controllers. Plus, if you ever do get the itch to tinker, the Aurora's interior features tool-free access to most of its components. That means if you eventually want to pop in some extra storage down the line, you can do it without busting out a toolbox.

The best airline travel deals this week: Southwest Airlines One way tickets as low as $49 Get Deal JetBlue Airlines Up to 50% off flights with a vacation package Get Deal Frontier Airlines One-way fares as low as $19 with Discount Den Get Deal Spirit Airlines Up to 30% off flight and hotel bundles Get Deal

You're probably already feeling the pain at the pump as nationwide gas prices jumped an average of 27 cents in a week (per data from the AAA motor club) from the fallout of the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran. And that same surge is beginning to effect air travel as well. Jet fuel spiked an absurd 56% in the days following the strikes, which inevitably points to one thing: pricier plane tickets. TL;DR: If you're planning a trip (or even considering it), get your tickets ASAP before that price hike kicks in.

Fortunately, several airlines are running spring sales to ease some of that stress on your wallet. But you'll want to act fast to secure a deal. According to United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby, the impact from rising fuel costs on passenger plane ticket prices will "probably start quick." Shop the best spring airline ticket deals below.

Southwest Airlines: Get one way tickets as low as $49 Opens in a new window Credit: Southwest Airlines Southwest Airlines One way tickets as low as $49 Get Deal

Southwest Airlines stays pumping out discounts for its travelers. Its Spring Forward Sale is live from March 9 through March 12 and you can book a one-way ticket for as low as just $49. There is some fine print as always, so listen up. The discounted flight prices are valid on travel between March 31 and June 10 in the continental U.S. and inter-island Hawaii only, and a 21-day advance purchase is required. Restrictions, exclusions, and blackout dates apply. After some poking around, I was able to find $69 flights from Nashville to New York City, $67 flights to Atlanta, and $49 flights to Columbus. I suggest heading to the sale page and selecting your departure city from the drop down list to get an overview of costs.

JetBlue Airlines: Take up to 50% off flights with a vacation package Opens in a new window Credit: JetBlue Airlines JetBlue Airlines Up to 50% off flights with a vacation package Get Deal

If you book your full spring getaway with JetBlue airlines, you could save up to $500 plus get up to 50% off your flight. You'll have to act fast, though, as the website says the sale ends today (March 9). The discount will vary depending on your travel dates and availability, but JetBlue claims its included "a discount of up to 50% off in the package price." Use the following promo codes at checkout to slash the cost of your full vacation package:

• $25 off $750+ with code HELLOSPRING25

• $300 off $4,000 with code HELLOSPRING300

• $500 off $7,000 with code HELLOSPRING500

Frontier Airlines: Book one-way fares with Discount Den starting from $19 Opens in a new window Credit: Frontier Airlines Frontier Airlines One-way fares as low as $19 with Discount Den Get Deal

Frontier Airlines is offering its Discount Den members flight deals as low as $19 one way. A Discount Den membership costs $59.99 per year and unlocks the ability to earn travel miles and Elite Status points for every flight, early access to promotions and offers, free flights for kids, and Discount Den fares for you and up to eight additional people on your reservation. With the current sale, I was able to find a flight from Nashville to Orlando for only $27 one way and from Nashville to Denver for only $57. The more flexible you are with your dates and destination, the better deals you'll find.

Spirit Airlines: Save up to 30% on your vacation when you bundle your flight and hotel Opens in a new window Credit: Spirit Airlines Spirit Airlines Up to 30% off flight and hotel bundles Get Deal

You can save up to 30% on your next vacation when you bundle your flight and hotel with Spirit Airlines. Not to mention, you'll earn an extra 500 Free Spirit points for every vacation package you book, which you can put towards your next trip. If you're looking to get away ASAP, you can save even more on last-minute vacations. Some of the deals you can book include a flight and hotel for as low as $390 per person from Detroit to Miami, from Dallas to Montego Bay for as low as $632 per person, and from Newark to Fort Lauderdale for as low as $372 per person.

You normally run Proxmox on a server or a NAS, not as your desktop operating system or in a virtual machine. To my surprise, both worked better than I expected. This is what I found.

Over the weekend, we lost an hour of sleep. Now when the morning alarm clock goes off at 7 a.m., our internal clocks think it's 6 a.m. An hour doesn't sound like a ton of time, but it sure felt like it when waking up for work this morning. If nothing else, it's shown us the importance of sleep.

Coincidentally, the National Sleep Foundation has March 8 to 14 dedicated to sleep awareness week. It's a time to focus on why sleep matters, how it impacts our wellbeing and health, and what can be done to improve sleep quality. If you don't remember when you bought your current mattress or pillow, it's possible that it's time for a some new sleep gear.

If you're not getting restful sleep on account of noise, the Soundcore Sleep A30 earbuds aim to ease you into restful slumber. Designed to be comfortable enough for side sleepers, the earbuds come with plenty of white noise and snore masking tracks. Plus, the case has built-in lights, so you won't need to fumble around for it in the dark.

Mashable Lead Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard tested out the Sleep A30 earbuds when they launched last August. Not only do they block sounds, they act as a sleep tracker, too. The metrics give you insight into overall time spent asleep, amount in deep vs. light sleep, and sleep movements.

It's worth noting the Sleep A30 earbuds are on sale for $30 off, which brings them down to $199.99. However, Anker just launched the new Sleep A30 Special earbuds which are now Mashable's favorite sleep earbuds, making some improvements in performance compared to the original Sleep A30. The new Sleep A30 Special earbuds aren't on sale during Sleep Week 2026, but at full price they come in at $199.99, or the same price as the original A30 earbuds while they're on sale. The new model might be preferred for some.

When I tested the CMF Nothing Watch 3 Pro, I had a hard time getting the watch to run out of battery. In the end, I changed a bunch of setting to get the battery to deplete quicker. And that's an awesome problem when using a smartwatch as a sleep tracker. Instead of having to take the watch off to charge at night, this watch can last for up to two weeks before it needs a recharge.

Sleep metrics on the CMF Nothing Watch 3 Pro are impressive. The watch's app will give you an overall sleep score each morning, details on sleep duration, sleep stages, and it can even track naps automatically. The CMF Nothing Watch 3 Pro usually sells for $99, but it's on sale for Sleep Week 2026 for $79.

"You were gonna be somebody."

Those are the damning words Shyanne (Michelle Pfieffer) says to her daughter Margo (Elle Fanning) after learning she's become pregnant and is dropping out of college. But in the trailer for Margo's Got Money Troubles, the protagonist clearly has an interesting future ahead of her — albeit not the one she expected.

From Big Little Lies creator David E. Kelley and based on Rufi Thorpe's novel of the same name, the show follows Margo as she starts an alien-themed OnlyFans in order to make ends meet with the help of her father, former pro wrestler Jinx (Nick Offerman).

Nicole Kidman, Marcia Gay Harden, Greg Kinnear, Michael Angarano, Rico Nasty, and Lindsey Normington also star.

Margo's Got Money Troubles premieres April 15 on Apple TV.

We've tested this exact unit, and Mashable's Lauren Allain named it the "Best for Content Creators." During testing, Allain found it to be shockingly quiet (running at just 30 decibels) and was able to charge her phone and a camera battery while cooking dinner in an air fryer. If you do use it during a blackout, it can keep a fridge cooling for up to 40 hours.

The DJI Power 2000 offers a 2048Wh LFP battery and 3000W of stable output, meaning it can power 99 percent of common appliances, from kettles and cookers to projectors and electric saws. It only takes 55 minutes to charge to 80 percent, and it has 15 ports to keep your laptop, phone, and lights charged and ready to go.

The thought of dual-GPU setups brings many of us back to the era of SLI and Crossfire, when such setups were a bit more common. They still weren't everywhere—it was definitely more of a cutting-edge thing—but they were what most gamers yearned for. Those solutions are now irrelevant, but using two GPUs at once is far from forgotten.

While LineageOS is far from perfect, it’s a superior choice in many areas compared to any stock Android experience. It’s leaner, runs better, comes with zero bloatware, and lets you use your Android phone with exactly zero Google apps installed.
