While many countertop espresso makers are large, clunky eyesores, the Vertuo Next is sleek and slim (just 5.5 inches wide) and won't take up much space on the countertop. The water tank is even removable to truly optimize your space, making it a particularly perfect pick for compact spaces like apartments, dorms, or even cubicles. It heats up in just 30 seconds and gives you on-demand coffee in various formats at the touch of a single button.

Choose from six different brewing styles: 5, 8, 12, and 18-ounce coffees, as well as single and double espressos brewed hot or over ice. Fill up the 37-ounce water tank, pop in a Nespresso Vertuo capsule, select your brew size, and let it do its thing. Vertuo machines are smart enough to read the barcode on each capsule and automatically adjust the settings to brew it perfectly each and every time.

If you want to take your single-serve coffee to new heights at home, Nespresso is where it's at. A piping hot shot of espresso any time you desire at the press of a button? Say no more. There's no telling how long the discounted $125 price tag will stick around, so snag the 31% savings while you can.

DJI has officially launched its Osmo Pocket 4P handheld gimbal camera across the UK, Europe, Canada, and Australia, following its Asian launch earlier this year. It still isn't coming to the U.S., though.

Previously unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival in May, the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P is an upgraded version of the Osmo Pocket 4 released earlier this year, which itself is a successor to 2023's Osmo Pocket 3. The Pocket 3 has become a favourite tool among content creators, with the 4 and 4P intended to build upon its legacy.

However, the Osmo Pocket 4P differentiates itself by having a more professional audience in mind. While it can still be used by creators who focus on making videos for social media, DJI has designed the Pocket 4P with features that specifically appeal to filmmakers and cinematographers.

The Osmo Pocket 4P's most obvious distinguishing feature is its dual lenses. Its main lens is a one-inch CMOS sensor which has 17 stops of dynamic range —  an increase from the 14 stops on the Pocket 4 — while the other is a 60-millimetre telephoto lens suitable for portrait shots. Boasting a maximum resolution of 4K at 240fps, the Pocket 4P also debuts DJI's new 10-bit D-log two-colour profile. The company states that this profile is capable of capturing over one billion colours, giving filmmakers more options and flexibility when it comes to colour grading in post-production.

The Pocket 4P is compatible with the Osmo FrameTap remote as well. Included in the 4P's Vlog Combo bundle, the FrameTap allows users to monitor and control the camera from a distance.

DJI's Osmo Pocket 4P will come in both Black and Pearl White colourways, with the latter to arrive at a later date. However, neither colour will be arriving in the U.S. for the foreseeable future.

Sadly, the Osmo Pocket 4P doesn't have a U.S. release date, as DJI is still awaiting authorisation to launch from the U.S. government. DJI's U.S. business has been severely impeded by the government's hostility toward the company, which has prevented it from bringing its products to the country. The U.S. has therefore been left out of all of DJI's most recent global launches, including the Mic 3, Osmo Mobile 8 phone gimbal, and Avata 360 drone.

As such, there's no official U.S. pricing for the Osmo Pocket 4P. However, the official UK pricing places it at £529 (approximately $706) for the Standard Combo bundle, and £605 (approximately $807) for the Vlog Combo. In comparison, the Osmo Pocket 4 Standard Combo costs £445 (approximately $594), with the Vlog Combo priced at £548 (approximately $731).

Microcontrollers like the ESP32 have helped to democratize hobby engineering, with cheap hardware and accessible projects. Some of these builds can feel quite out of reach, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t stop to admire them and maybe take inspiration for future ideas.

Samsung is still the center of attention. Samsung just dropped three new foldables smartphones, two smartwatches, and smart glasses, so it deserves its moment in the spotlight. But can we hold some space for Apple?

Apple prices are bumping in the face of RAMageddon, but you can still secure a limited-time offer on iPhones from T-Mobile. This popular mobile carrier has just dropped a fresh batch of free iPhone deals on the latest handsets.

You can switch to almost any T-Mobile plan and get a free iPhone 17e with no trade-in required. Alternatively, you can score the iPhone 17 for free when signing up for 24 months of an Experience More or Experience Beyond plan and trading in an eligible phone. For power users, the Apple iPhone 17 Pro is free when you switch to T-Mobile and bring your number on an Experience Beyond plan (no trade-in needed).

T-Mobile will charge taxes on these free deals, as well as a $35 device connection fee. That's a small catch, but that's how it often goes with this kind of deal.

If you’re still rocking an iPhone 12 or 13, you’re missing out on some genuinely game-changing features. The iPhone 17 is the first base model built specifically to handle Apple’s most advanced AI features. Mashable's Stan Schroeder said it's an "excellent phone that matches the iPhone Pro models in many ways that matter." That's enough for us to consider upgrading.

I've always loved how much freedom Linux gives you to customize your desktop. I've spent years ricing GNOME and KDE Plasma, but I've always avoided window managers (WM) like i3 and Hyprland. Without a graphical interface, customization feels more like programming than personalizing your desktop. I recently decided to give WMs a try, but building a polished setup would easily consume an entire Saturday for me. That's when I had an idea: what if I let Claude do the heavy lifting? The result wasn't just dramatically faster—it looked better than almost anything I'd built myself.

Oversharing on Google is almost a bit too easy. Google is designed for seamless collaboration, which means the system tends to default to settings that reduce the amount of friction you encounter when attempting to share. Unfortunately, that also means some of the default settings are overly permissive by default.

TL;DR: Lego is livestreaming a demo of its new Pokémon Smart Play sets on July 31 at 12 p.m. ET / 9 a.m. PT, just ahead of the collection's official Aug. 1 launch.

If you're the kind of person who still gets excited seeing Pikachu, Lego's new Pokémon Smart Play sets are about to make your day. Lego is livestreaming a demo of the collection, giving fans a first look at how these sets work before they officially launch Aug. 1.

The demo streams July 31 at 12 p.m. ET / 9 a.m. PT on Lego's site. If you're near a Lego Store, it's also worth stopping by during the stream — Lego says visitors can score extra rewards on that day.

What makes these sets so much fun

Mashable's Timothy Werth got hands-on with the sets ahead of launch, and by his own account, he came away completely won over — despite not even being a big Pokémon fan going in.

The sets are built around Lego's Smart Brick, a modified 2x4 piece packed with an accelerometer, microphones, speakers, LED lights, a gyroscope, and a color sensor. It responds to Smart Tags and Smart Minifigures included in the sets, meaning your Pokémon can "talk" to each other, and light up or make noises as you play with them.

According to Werth, some of the small details are what really sell it: Pikachu, Squirtle, Bidoof, Geodude, Charmander, and Eevee all make adorable noises, chattering when placed near each other, and the Pikachu Treehouse Set even hides a tiny Murphy bed where Pikachu can lie down and snore.

However, not every set includes a Smart Brick, so if you want the interactive features, you'll need at least one all-in-one set (starting at $69.99) — cheaper add-on sets start at $19.99. The full lineup launches Aug. 1, with a few sets already on Amazon and the rest up for preorder at Lego's online store.

Even a casual Pokémon fan will get something out of this — Aug. 1 is coming for your wallet either way.

Most people chasing better audio head straight for a DAC upgrade. It's the obvious move when your music sounds flat or cluttered, and the marketing around premium converters makes it easy to believe you're leaving quality on the table by using the chip built into your motherboard.

Six in 10 drivers say headlight glare is a problem after dark, and nearly three-quarters of those affected believe it has worsened over the past decade, according to a survey done by AAA in February 2026. Among those who experience glare, 92% identify oncoming headlights as the primary cause, and about one-third of respondents report being blinded by glare reflected in their rearview or side mirrors.

Seth Meyers had a lot of Donald Trump material to wade through during his "A Closer Look" Late Night segment on Wednesday, from the president having to sit through some awkward press awards at the White House Correspondents' Dinner to Trump's unusual remarks during the memorial of Senator Lindsey Graham.

Another area that he spent some time on? Trump being called a "pedophile protector" during a recent rally, due to his association with convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — the president responded by calling the heckler a "communist".

"If someone calls you a 'pedophile protector', calling them a communist is not a great comeback. 'You're covering up for sex traffickers!' 'Oh yeah, well you want the workers to own the means of production, soooo ya burnt!" says Meyers in the clip above.

"Trump just can't get away from this Epstein thing. It's in his rallies, press conferences, Correspondents' Dinner...You know the new Trump coin they're releasing? He OK'd it before flipping it over and checking the other side," Meyers jokes, bringing up a photoshopped image of the coin engraved with one of the many photos of Trump and Epstein together.

These days, Pokémon cards are harder to come by than human teeth, the latter being a longtime outré collectible of choice for pop star Kesha.

The Grammy-nominated artist has been collecting fans' teeth via X since 2011 (when it was Twitter), per Complex. And on Wednesday, Kesha renewed her collection's crowdsourcing mode, hitting X with a casual PO box for fans to send over their personal pegs.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. SEE ALSO: Why BTS is skipping the Grammys

Kesha's love for collecting human incisors, canines, and molars started back in 2011, when her album Animal was topping every chart and a fan sent her a tooth (on Kesha's request) that the pop star made into a necklace — a moment that became a legendary Twitter post.

Las Culturistas podcast hosts Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang asked Kesha about the lore around her tooth fairy collection during the latest episode (it came up when they were talking about narwhals).

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

"Do you know that I collect teeth?" she said. "Send 'em over."

"The teeth started when I became obsessed with my fans," Kesha added. "Someone was like, 'My child lost their teeth.' And I was like, ‘Can I have them? I want to make jewellery out of it.' So then I made a necklace, an earring, and then a belt, and then a crown. The crown's wild."

Kesha told Yang and Rogers she just "started putting [teeth] all over my home," where they're held "in little jars."

"I just started collecting them because it kind of freaks out straight men," she said.

There's honestly no better way to say it than Rogers and Yang chanting in unison: "She's a pop star and she needs your teeth." You've got the PO box address.
