Most new vehicles begin losing value the moment they leave the dealership, making depreciation one of the largest ownership costs buyers face. While reliability, fuel economy, and features often dominate purchasing decisions, resale value can have an equally significant impact on the long-term cost of owning a vehicle. Choosing the right model can mean recovering thousands more dollars when it comes time to sell or trade in.

Summer is the ideal time to tackle home DIY projects. The paint will dry quicker, there's more hours of daylight, and maybe some friends around to help out. If you have a list of home and yard projects to take care of this summer, make sure you have the necessary tools. Nothing sidelines a weekend project quite like realizing you need to run to the hardware store.

Everyone knows that Amazon loves to discount its own devices during its Prime Day events. So far, though, the early Prime Day tablet deals are a little thin on the ground, at least where Amazon's Fire Tablet line is concerned. There's one excellent standout right now, and it's the Amazon Fire 7 Kids tablet at 50% off, which is a solid drop on a family-friendly pick anyone could use.

Beyond that, most of what we're seeing on Fire tablets is bundle-based rather than straight markdowns, so the value you'll get per bundle depends on whether you actually want the extras. But you can expect the selection to widen dramatically as we get closer to the main event.

Mashable's team of shopping experts is tracking the best early Prime Day Fire tablet deals as they land. We'll likely see even more pop up in the next week or so, so keep an eye out for additional savings.

It also features a 10-hour battery so you don't have to keep recharging it. And if you want to use it yourself, it's still a great casual tablet that can do all you want it to do.

This like-new bundle also nets you a Stylus Pen in addition to the tablet, which means you can take notes, doodle, and sketch within apps like OneNote and more. If you're on the market for an everyday tablet that you'll keep reaching for, this bundle is worth snapping up while it's still available.

It's nearly Amazon Prime Day, which officially runs from June 23 through 26, but if you don't feel like waiting, there's already plenty of live deals to shop.

Besides offering three free months of both Kindle Unlimited and Audible to new subscribers, Amazon also has some pretty great discounts on books themselves. I'm not usually one to recommend purchasing physical books via Amazon (support local book stores!), but it's pretty hard to pass up a 50% price drop on a book you've had on your TBR.

Amazon's Prime Day sales event is right around the corner (I can't believe it's that time of year again!), and I'm genuinely shocked by the deals we're seeing this early in the game.

Usually, Amazon doesn't put Fitbits on sale until the very last minute, and then they're gone. (And some years, they don't go on sale at all.) But right now, we're seeing all-time lows on select Fitbit models, including the Charge 6.

Here are the best early Prime Day Fitbit deals you can shop right now:

Best deal overall Fitbit Charge 6 $99.95 at Amazon
$159.95 Save $60.00   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

The Fitbit Charge 6 isn't the newest Fitbit on the market, but it still has (almost) everything you'd need in a smart wearable. (I say almost because the Fitbit Charge 6 doesn't have an altimeter, but if you're not a trail runner, this probably isn't a deal breaker.)

The Charge 6 tracks your calories, steps, sleep, heart rate, and more. It also has built-in GPS, 40+ exercise modes, a seven-day battery life, and includes a three-month Google Health Premium (formerly Fitbit Premium) membership. Once the three months are up, you'll need to either cancel or renew for $9.99 per month or $99.99 annually.

Right now, you can get the Fitbit Charge 6 for $99.95 at Amazon. This is the lowest price we've tracked on this model since its release in 2023.

If you're willing to spend a little bit more, the Fitbit Versa 4 is on sale for $149.95. This isn't the lowest price we've seen (it was $104.96 in April 2024), but it's still a pretty good deal.

Unlike the Charge 6, the Versa 4 has an altimeter and Bluetooth wrist calling. So, if you're looking for a wearable that acts more like a smartwatch, the Versa 4 might be the better buy. That said, it doesn't have the more "serious" health sensor that the Charge 6 does (e.g., ECG and EDA).

The Versa 4 also comes with three months of Google Health Premium.

Best budget deal Fitbit Inspire 3 $79.95 at Walmart
$89.95 Save $10   Get Deal at Walmart Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

If you're just looking for something that's affordable and efficient, the Fitbit Inspire 3 is your best option at $79.95.

It's a no-frills fitness tracker that'll give you the basic features you need to stay on top of your health. It can track your heart rate, steps, and stress levels. (It also offers menstrual health tracking, which is nice.)

You'll also get 10 full days of battery life and, like the other models mentioned above, three free months of Google Health Premium.

Anthropic just released its most powerful public model yet — Claude Fable 5. However, along with the model's release, the AI giant also made a significant update to its data retention policies.

Fable 5 was released to the public on Tuesday. Fable 5 is a "safe for general use" version of Anthropic's most powerful model, Mythos, which has been restricted from public use due to its potentially dangerous cybersecurity capabilities. Anthropic created a set of safety guardrails for Fable 5, and its benchmarks blow away much of the competition, per Anthropic.

But it looks like Anthropic has also blown away its data retention policies for Fable 5.

"To ensure we’re responsibly deploying Mythos-class models, we are requiring limited data retention and review as part of our safety work," reads an update on Anthropic's official Claude support page. "Prompts submitted to, and outputs generated by, Mythos-class models are retained for 30 days for trust and safety purposes, on every platform where these models are offered."

The update was first noticed by Jun Park, the CEO of AI training company hillclimb.

“New policy from Anthropic: if you use Fable/Mythos, they collect your data. No exceptions. Not even for enterprise partners," Park posted on X.

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

This change is significant for Anthropic's enterprise and API customers, says Jessica Eaves Mathews, a lawyer who specializes in copyright, trademark, and AI law.

In a post on Mathews' Substack (as highlighted by CyberNews), the lawyer explains how Anthropic already retains user data for 30 days under its free and paid consumer plans. However, Matthews says this change nullifies part of any agreement Anthropic has with its enterprise and API partners. 

"Every other Claude model available through the API, including Opus 4.8, Sonnet 4.6, and Haiku 4.5, can operate under Zero Data Retention (ZDR) agreements," Mathews writes. "Fable 5 cannot. If your organization previously had a ZDR agreement with Anthropic, that agreement does not apply to Fable 5 traffic. This is a policy change that overrides existing enterprise commitments for this specific model class."

Mathews says that any organization that believed that their data would not be stored by Anthropic should know that there is now a "mandatory exception" for Fable 5 and all future Mythos models.

While Mythos-class models seem to be quite powerful, companies should know about the change in Anthropic's data retention policies and make adjustments where necessary.

Snapchat is rolling out new content-sharing protections for 13- to 15-year-old users.

The platform announced Wednesday that younger teens will get a "friends-only" experience for their Spotlight posts. That public feed consists of vertical videos short-form similar to Instagram Reels or TikTok.

SEE ALSO: Survey: Teens regularly see harmful content, messages on Snapchat

The new rules make Spotlight content posted by 13- to 15-year-olds visible only to the user's mutually accepted friends. Previously, under-16 users could post to Spotlight, without attribution to their profile.

"This allowed teens to participate, while helping to protect them from potentially unwanted contact that can come with public posting," the Snap Company said in its announcement.

Now younger Snapchatters will get a space on their profile for creating, saving, and sharing Stories and Spotlight Videos with only their mutually accepted friends. Teens ages 16 and 17 can share content publicly with some safeguards.

"This new experience is designed to encourage creativity and self-expression within a trusted audience," the company said.

Age checking on Snapchat

Currently, Snapchat relies on self-attested age and age inference, but safety advocates generally say social media platforms need high-quality age assurance to ensure their safety measures are effective.

When Mashable tested Snapchat's age attestation prior to the announcement, we found that Snapchat defaulted user age to 18 years old.

With the new policy, if Snapchat determines a user is under 16, despite their stated age, that minor will be shifted into the friends-only sharing setting. That change will appear in the Snapchat app if they choose to post a Spotlight video.

Snapchat safety concerns

Last week, the advocacy groups Heat Initiative, Anxious Generation, ParentsTogether Action, and Design It 4 Us published the results of a survey of teen Snapchat users, alleging that the platform's safety measures aren't effective enough.

A third of the poll's 1,016 respondents said they'd seen or received unsafe content or messages in the past week. More than half said they'd had at least one such experience in the past year.

The top three types of dangerous experiences reported by up to a third of teens were unwanted contact, bullying, and sexually suggestive content and messages. More than 40 percent of respondents who'd received unwanted messages believed the sender was an adult.

A Snap Company spokesperson told Mashable that the report "does not fully reflect the significant investments Snap has made to help protect young people."

In the blog post Snap published Wednesday, the company noted that it works to prevent the delivery of friend requests from potential strangers, and that the platform doesn't allow teens to be messaged by anyone they haven't added as a friend or who's not in their phone contacts. Additionally, when teens accept a stranger as a friend, Snapchat is designed to send warnings when minors begin chatting with that user.

"After years of advocacy by parents, kids, and experts, it's encouraging that Snap is finally making some changes to try to prevent young children from posting in adult spaces, which has put kids in danger on the platform for years," Brooke Istook, president and chief strategy officer at Heat Initiative, said in a statement to Mashable.

Istook added, however, that "fundamental dangers for kids that are baked into Snapchat’s design" remain unaddressed, including the facilitation of unsafe connections between teens and adults and the algorithmic recommendation of unsafe content.

Snapchat has been the target of youth safety activism and the target of legal action, like many major social media platforms. In January, Snap settled a lawsuit brought by a teenager who claimed that Snapchat's design features, like algorithmic recommendations, led to addictive use and mental health harms. Soon after, Snap introduced new parental controls for teens.

UPDATE: Jun. 10, 2026, 8:27 a.m. PDT This story has been updated to include a statement from Heat Initiative.

Roborock makes some of Mashable's favorite robot vacuums that efficiently keep our floors clean indoors. But the brand knew some robots prefer a life spent outdoors. As of June 10, the Roborock lineup of robot lawn mowers has a new model, and it's one of the most affordable options available.

The Roborock RockNeo Q110H just landed in the U.S., and it's exclusively sold at Amazon. The normal list price is set at $1,299, but it's on sale from June 10 through June 16 for $1,169, which takes 10% off. Even at full price, the Roborock sits as one of the more budget-friendly models.

The Roborock RockNeo is designed to mow lawns that measure about 0.25 acres, and it can handle slopes of up to 45 percent. Roborock also mentions this model excels at keeping the mow even when dealing with odd terrain, thanks to the floating cutting deck that adjusts automatically. Plus, Roborock found it's capable of climbing over obstacles like tree roots or paving stones that measure up to 1.57 inches tall. The large diameter wheels also help with its ability to handle any terrain.

Toys, sticks, and tree roots should be no issue for the RockNeo. Credit: Roborock

It also comes with real-time obstacle avoidance. If the kids leave toys in the yard or the dog prefers to take all tennis balls to a weird spot, the RockNeo Q110H will avoid mowing over any items left behind. You can also choose specific areas of your yard to create multi-zone management. Keep the front lawn cut short for looks while letting the back get a bit longer for a bit more cushion underfoot this summer. You can also select your desired cutting height.

The Roborock RockNeo Q110H comes with an IPX6 waterproof rating, so a bit of rain won't do damage. When the robot detects rain, it'll automatically return to the charging station, ready to resume mowing when the weather improves.

A worthy app companion

The Roborock app for robot vacuums is excellent, and the robot lawn mower follows suit. From the app, you can set a desired mowing schedule, set zones within your yard, and select cutting height. You can also take a glance at real-time mowing progress to see which areas have been completed and what the mower is currently cutting. This screen also shows remaining battery life.

When it comes to mapping, the Roborock uses full‐band RTK and VSLAM. Together, the robot should be able to keep its navigation wits steady without getting lost while mowing under trees.

If you're considering making the upgrade to a robot lawn mower this summer, the new Roborock RockNeo Q110H could be an excellent pick. Grab it while it's on sale for its introductory launch in the U.S. through June 16. No need to wait for Prime Day on June 23 to get this one on sale.

The preparation leading up to a trip is always my least favorite part. You need your ID, flight tickets that are scattered between apps, various emails, and maybe a screenshot or two.

A lot has changed since David Fincher's The Social Network hit theaters in 2010.

That film examined the founding and meteoric rise of Facebook, as well as CEO Mark Zuckerberg's (Jesse Eisenberg) tumultuous relationship with co-founder Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield). However, Facebook's trajectory since then, from its data breaches to Zuckerberg cozying up to President Donald Trump, has generated enough material for several more movies.

SEE ALSO: 'Whalefall' trailer dares to ask: But what if you got swallowed by a whale?

Enter The Social Reckoning. Touted as a "companion piece" to The Social Network, the highly anticipated drama is written and directed by Aaron Sorkin, who won an Academy Award for his Social Network screenplay.

The film dives into the collaboration between Facebook employee-turned-whistleblower Frances Haugen (Anora Academy Award winner Mikey Madison) and Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz (The Bear Emmy winner Jeremy Allen White), which led to 2021's "The Facebook Files." That investigative series used internal documents to uncover Facebook's awareness of its harmful impacts, from teens' declining mental health to political misinformation.

The Social Reckoning finds a new Mark Zuckerberg in Succession's Jeremy Strong, who takes over from Eisenberg. The film's first teaser trailer sees Strong sporting Zuckerberg's unfortunate Caesar cut and nailing his distinctive voice to an uncanny degree.

The teaser also uses a few brief notes from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross' Academy Award-winning Social Network score, but the pair, like Fincher and Eisenberg, are not returning for The Social Network's follow up. Alexandre Desplat will score the film instead.

The Social Reckoning also stars Wunmi Mosaku, Betty Gilpin, Billy Magnussen, and Bill Burr.

The Social Reckoning hits theaters Oct. 9.

iPad users can now access the internet without WiFi, without worrying about data limits, and without the need for a wireless carrier subscription — at least for 24 hours.

AT&T just announced a new service on Wednesday called the Unlimited Day Pass. For just $3 per day, any eSIM-capable iPad can connect to the internet even without a WiFi connection. AT&T is also offering one complimentary Unlimited Day Pass for each iPad customer.

Furthermore, the day pass includes unlimited wireless data. Plus, there's no subscription, contract, or any sort of long-term commitment. Users can simply sign up for a one-time $3 Unlimited Day Pass anytime they like and as many times as they like, according to an AT&T press release. iPad users don't even need to be an AT&T customer, meaning T-Mobile, Verizon, and other customers can purchase the new pass as well.

AT&T says iPad users can activate an Unlimited Day Pass directly from their device's Settings app. An option to sign up for the Unlimited Day Pass will appear under the Cellular Data section.

Wireless carriers already offer international day passes, but AT&T is pitching the Unlimited Day Pass as a solution for domestic travelers. However, there are some caveats that we should note.

The Unlimited Day Pass is only for iPad users in the U.S. and only works with iPad models with eSIM capabilities. Basically, if the iPad is the "WiFI + Cellular" model, it should work. AT&T says it's planning to roll out the Unlimited Day Pass to other 5G-capable devices, such as Android tablets, smartwatches, laptops, and drones, in the near future. Interestingly, AT&T did not list smartphones as devices that will get Unlimited Day Pass access.

Excel is well-known for being a versatile and powerful desktop app, but I always found the mobile app (iOS and Android) frustrating to use. As it turns out, I was looking at my spreadsheets the wrong way. A little-known feature called Cards View replaces cramped grids with a touch-friendly layout.

Taskmaster Season 21 is drawing to a close with episode 10. So, what challenge could Greg Davies and (little) Alex Horne have for celebrity contestants? Well, Mashable has an exclusive sneak peek with the clip above, featuring the challengers teaming up to capture on camera "the greatest pillow fight of all time."

Armando Iannucci and Joanna Page make up one team, while Amy Gledhill, Joel Dommett, and Kumail Nanjiani make up the other. With just 20 minutes to prepare, Dommett is not scared but pumped, noting, "This is great! We've got a bona fide action star with us."

Cut to Eternals' star Nanjiani in a cowboy costume, facing off against Dommett in an escalating battle. It begins with a stare-down. Then, some eyebrow wiggling in a close-up known as a "cowboy." Then, they draw — not guns, but pillows. Blood will be spilled, as will teeth, and ... a leg. Meanwhile, Gledhill looks on while cleaning a margarita glass.

What could Iannucci and Page possibly do to compete? Will not having Gledhill get in on the action prove a pivotal error? We'll find out when episode 10 debuts.
