Samsung wants the upcoming Galaxy Watch 9 to not only track your health, but also serve as your personal coach. It's releasing a major Samsung Health app update on June 8 that will turn tracking data into "simple, actionable guidance" — effectively, it's the company's answer to the AI coaching in the Fitbit Air with Google Health Premium.

There's something special about a Polaroid photo. We've all come to rely on snapping pictures with our phones to store in the cloud, but we never seem to get around to printing out any physical memories. And that's where Polaroid shines. The new Polaroid Go gen 3 is a mini instant-film camera that turns any moment into a mini printed photo.

Polaroid says that the Go Gen 3 is the world's smallest instant analog camera. It weighs just 8.9 ounces without film, which is about half a pound. Its dimensions are small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. There's also the impressive range of colorway options with the latest model.

The photos themselves are also tiny, measuring 2.6 inches in height and 2.1 inches wide. The included wrist strap makes it easy to carry the camera on outings, and it comes with some upgraded functions from Polaroid.

The Gen 3 has a selfie timer as well as a built-in selfie mirror for getting the best group shots possible. There's also a double exposure mode for getting creative. A stronger flash is helpful for taking low-light photos.

In the brand's press release, Stine Bauer Dahlberg, the chief product officer, said, "We focused on perfecting the optical system, integrating a genuinely powerful flash, and optimizing the camera for great, close-up selfies of you and your friends. Every decision supports how people actually use a camera this small, while delivering strong performance across different lighting conditions."

While the camera itself is analog and perfect for spending less time attached to a phone, you can still use the Polaroid app for more benefits. From the app, scan your Polaroid to share the image with friends.

Keep in mind you'll need to use Polaroid Go film with the new Go camera. A pack of 16 photos sells for $21.99, which means each photo costs $1.32.

With a price of $89.99, the new Polaroid Go Gen 3 makes for a great gift or party accessory. It's already available at both Amazon and Polaroid.

A while ago, I set up some automations in Home Assistant to nag me when I was sitting down for too long or wasn't focusing on work. I decided to see how far I could take things by turning Home Assistant into my own version of Big Brother.

Jellyfin has been growing in popularity for a while, as many users look for a free and open-source alternative to Plex. And with the recent Plex price hikes, the reason to switch has just gotten even greater. Yet while you can set up your media library in Jellyfin in no time at all, potential switchers often get discouraged by the thought of losing years of tweaks and customizations. But that doesn't have to be true. One plugin called Plexyfin helps make the move to Jellyfin easier.

Moving files between computers is such an obvious thing to do now. You can use a USB flash drive. You can just email them if they're small. Cloud storage is, obviously, awesome for this type of thing. Let's not forget all the random files that get sent over WhatsApp, Discord, or Messenger.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again: Starz is an underrated streaming service. If you've exhausted the streaming catalog on Netflix and Hulu and need to diversify your movie and TV lineup this season, it's a great time to give it a shot. Today only, the Starz add-on for Prime Video is just $2.99 per month.

Through June 4 only, Prime members and Prime Video subscribers can add the Starz streaming app to their library for $2.99 per month for two months. A quiet price hike will go into effect for the streaming service on June 8, bumping its monthly cost from $10.99 to $11.99. So you'll be saving $9 per month, or a total of $18, by grabbing this deal.

Starz is home to Lionsgate theatrical releases, so you'll be able to watch recent hits like The Housemaid, Now You See Me: Now You Don't, and Greenland 2: Migration. Not to mention, it has its own original series that are pretty epic, including a TV adaptation of Lisa Taddeo's book Three Women, a comedy about a female serial killer called Sweetpea, and the historical fantasy show Outlander, which just wrapped its final season.

Switch up your streaming lineup for the summer and save some money by snagging a two-month subscription to Starz for a grand total of $5.98. That's pretty hard to beat in this economy.

It's time for another round of fun homelab projects to do this weekend, and it all starts with server monitoring! Then, once you have your centralized server monitoring set up, I'll show you how to optimize your Docker experience. Here are three fun homelab projects to tackle this weekend.

Apple will reportedly lean on Nvidia to fuel the next generation of Siri.

The Information reported that Apple will "tap into Google’s fleet of Nvidia’s Blackwell B200 data center chips" to power requests from the new AI-enhanced Siri, which will allegedly go online with the launch of iOS 27 later this year. It's already been established that the new Siri will be based on Google's Gemini AI model, so Apple utilizing a Google fleet of Nvidia data center chips makes sense.

In layman's terms, the main thing to know about this is that Nvidia's Blackwell architecture allows for large-scale AI usage with high degrees of memory bandwidth and other important things you need to make a popular chatbot work. These chips also have the ability to encrypt data that comes through them, which would help maintain Apple's high privacy standards as it attempts to catch up to the rest of the tech industry with AI features on its devices.

The new Siri hasn't officially been shown off yet, but it's widely expected that it will exist in the form of a chatbot with its own dedicated app once iOS 27 launches. It will be able to remember personal context for the user as well as read anything that's on screen, giving it capabilities far beyond what Siri has been able to do previously.

We should find out come Monday, when Apple hosts its annual developer conference, WWDC 2026.

Gemini’s debut on Android Auto has been a bit bumpy, to say the least. There are plenty of legitimate issues that Google needs to iron out still, but I’ve made an effort to give it a fair try. However, my main complaint isn’t a bug—it’s a feature that’s completely missing.

The Benchy has become the unofficial mascot of the 3D printing world. What started as a model of a toy boat designed to benchmark print quality and speed has evolved into a rite of passage for new printer owners.

The offer expires at 2:59 a.m. ET on June 7, so be sure to do your shopping before Sunday morning if you want a free gift card. You can shop in stores or online, but I recommend referring to the online listings to ensure the four products you choose are included in the promo.

Building a functional homelab often starts with a lot of excitement, but it quickly turns into a balancing act of managing hardware and fighting network clutter. You buy a couple of machines, get a VPS, start hosting services, and suddenly find yourself buried in individual browser extensions. What you should do is consider adding the below to get your homelab to do what you want.

It's getting toasty out there, and it's not even summer yet, according to the calendar. If you're looking for ways to stay cool this summer, a window A/C unit could do the trick. But if you're in the market for a refreshingly cool treat, there's a special deal in store at Ninja.

Use code SLUSH at checkout to get the Ninja Slushi on sale for $233.99, marked down from the standard price of $349.99. That works out to a 33% discount for a savings of $116. If you prefer to shop at Amazon, it's on sale for $239.99.

If you have summer hydration goals but don't feel like downing water bottle after water bottle, consider the options the Ninja Slushi brings to the table. With it, you can kick back with a slushy version of nearly any beverage.

Mashable Senior Shopping Reporter Leah Stodart reviewed the Ninja Slushi and found it to be an ideal way to enjoy a frozen treat. Instead of running to the local convenience store or ordering a spendy frosé during dinner out, whip up your own favorites at home.

"The Slushi achieves that chef's kiss chilled consistency via Ninja's RapidChill Technology, which involves an auger spinning around a cooling cylinder," explained Stodart in the review. "This approach can take room temperature ingredients from liquid to, well, slushy, in under an hour."

Stodart tested out the Slushi by Slushi-ing White Claws plus simple syrup, Pepsi, a blueberry vanilla protein milkshake, and electrolyte drink powder. "Past this week of testing, I could totally see the Slushi getting weekly use in my household," she wrote.

If you're looking for a way to jazz up summer beverages, the Ninja Slushi is ready to bring on the fun treats. Remember to use code SLUSH at checkout to score your new favorite kitchen appliance for $233.99.

As a beginner, I used to feel like I was fighting with the command-line interface. It did eventually click for me, but I wish it happened sooner. This is a list of command-line actions and commands that I wish I had learned on day one.

Are you ready to tackle more Raspberry Pi projects this weekend? Well, you're in luck, because I have three more fun projects to try out, including building an offline version of Wikipedia, setting up Network UPS Tools, and building a network troubleshooting toolkit.

Whether you're buying your first cordless power tool or looking to upgrade your collection, a big decision is whether to choose a brushed or brushless motor. Every major tool brand offers newer brushless tools, such as Ryobi's HP line and Milwaukee FUEL Brushless. So, what's the difference, and are they worth the higher price tag?

I’ll admit it, I’m a bit of an AI-sceptic. I see how AI-powered search can perform wonders with natural-language queries, but when it comes to editing my code, I still like to have control.

If you've been meaning to learn Linux but never quite made it stick, it's probably not a motivation problem. The desktop is usually not the best place to start learning Linux because you already have a working desktop in your Mac or Windows PC. A NAS, on the other hand, is exactly the kind of project where Linux earns its place, and where you'll actually end up learning something that stays with you.

Our smartphones have more storage than ever, but running out of space is still a common problem while using the powerful cameras for photos and video, large modern apps, and everything else. If you're low on storage, here's how I just freed up nearly 20GB of space on my Samsung Galaxy by taking advantage of one hidden setting.

Excel's default charts often make data harder to read, with distracting gridlines, awkward spacing, and attention-grabbing colors. That's why I have a quick cleanup routine to transform basic charts into more professional-looking visuals in minutes.
