The KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart stand mixer is down to $379.95 at Amazon for Prime Day, marking a 24% discount and saving you $120.04 off its $499.99 list price.

Built for everyday baking and bigger batch cooking, it has a 5-quart capacity that can handle everything from cookie dough to shredded ingredients for meals with friends and family.

The KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart stand mixer is built with a sturdy metal body designed to handle regular use in the kitchen. It also uses 59 touchpoints around the bowl, meaning the beater reaches multiple spots as it spins, helping ingredients mix evenly without leaving dry or unmixed patches.

It comes with a 5-quart stainless steel bowl that has a handle, making it easy to work with both small and large batches. You can make up to nine dozen cookies in one go, and the bowl is dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.

The tilt-head design makes it simple to add ingredients while you’re mixing, since you can lift and lock the head for better access to the bowl. It also has 10 speeds, so you can go from slow stirring to whipping cream or mixing heavier dough without needing multiple tools.

Snag the KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart stand mixer at Amazon and officially upgrade your cookie game.

The World Cup is off to a flying start, with more teams than ever competing for a chance at glory. If you’ve caught the bug as I have, you might want to fire up the printer and print some of these models to wallow in football fever.

President Donald Trump and President Masoud Pezeshkian signed a "memorandum of understanding" this week, an agreement which will reportedly end the U.S.-Iran war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. However, the 14-point document isn't the final deal, and the U.S. president opted for vaguery telling press at the G7 summit it was "a very strong deal. Nobody knows what it is, but it's very strong."

Seth Meyers unpacked this during Late Night on Thursday, during his "A Closer Look" segment.

"What do you mean, 'Nobody knows what it is,' why not? Is it written in Zodiac code? Is it a diplomatic agreement, or the list of herbs and spices?" said Meyers. "Also, it's an agreement. With agreements, the key is that everyone knows what it is, for the purposes of the agreeing. This is like if you said to your bride, 'I'm just gonna do my vows in my head.' Why won't you say them out loud?"

Meyers then moves to clarify the three goals of the agreement, which Trump lightly covered during his G7 press address as "ending the current conflict, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and preventing Iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon."

"Wait, so the three goals of the deal to end the war were: ending the war, reopening a strait that was already opened before we started the war, preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, which they had already agreed not to obtain under the deal you ripped up, which started the war that closed the strait, which you reopened by ending the war you started," said Meyers.

"I currently have a worse headache than the Knicks the morning after they won the title, and at least they won something."

If you're wondering whether or not the Nothing Headphone (a) are worth buying, it's worth mentioning that we're very big fans. Mashable's Bethany Allard reviewed them last month and said they're "the best pair of headphones from Nothing, and one of the best pairs of mid-range headphones available to get, thanks to their solid all-around performance and standout battery life."

Allard notes that these headphones have "decent sound and ANC with plenty of ease built into the user experience," but where they really shine is their battery life. With ANC enabled, the store page says they last up to 75 hours. Allard confirms this in her review, adding that "the battery life alone may be the reason to pick these headphones up."

If you've been waiting for a good time to scoop up the Nothing Headphone (a), this is an excellent opportunity. Don't miss out on this Prime-exclusive deal at Amazon.

Android phones have become remarkably powerful over the past several years. We've now reached a point where many can comfortably continue using the same device for four, five, or even seven years without feeling held back.

The terminal isn't just for running commands and editing config files. There's a whole category of TUI (terminal user interface) apps out there that can replace the graphical tools you reach for every day—and a lot of them end up being faster and lighter in the process. If you've got some free time this weekend, here are three I'd start with. None of them take long to set up, and will probably replace a few unnecessarily bulky graphical apps you’ve got installed.

If you thought PopSockets were too bulky, a new model is here: the Low-Pro Grip. CNET's Bridget Carey talks to PopSocket inventor and founder David Barnett to get the story behind the new design and how the iconic phone grip evolved through the years.

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Gen) headphones are down to $379 at Amazon, with Prime Day just around the corner. That’s a $70 drop from the usual $449 list price on a pair of Bose’s newer over-ear noise-canceling headphones with spatial audio and up to 30 hours of battery life.

These headphones are a top pick in Mashable’s guide to the best noise-cancelling headphones, where they’re positioned as the best option for most people thanks to their comfort and easy all-day wear. The headphones are described as “the most comfortable headphones on the market” in Mashable’s review, with comfort remaining the standout feature across long listening sessions.

Bethany Allard, our lead shopping reporter, notes that “there was simply not a scenario where the fit didn't feel excellent,” whether worn for work, walking, or extended use, with the design largely unchanged from the previous generation.

On performance, our review calls the Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Gen) “a good choice for someone who wants all-day wear and has yet to buy into the QC Ultra line,” but also points out clear limits.

Sound quality is described as solid but not highly customizable, and the headphones are “not all that different from the previous generation,” making them more of a refinement than a major upgrade.

Today's Connections: Sports Edition will be easier if you have World Cup knowledge.

As we've shared in previous hints stories, this is a version of the popular New York Times word game that seeks to test the knowledge of sports fans.

Like the original Connections, the game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight, and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier — so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.

If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for the latest Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

The NYT's latest daily word game has launched in association with The Athletic, the New York Times property that provides the publication's sports coverage. The sports Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

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

Each puzzle features 16 words, and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake — players get up to four mistakes before the game ends.

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

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

In a world where buying the components for a gaming PC is an increasingly pricey task, Amazon is still delivering major monitor deals when you know where to look. In a surprising early Prime Day deal, you can now get a Samsung monitor at its record-low price.

As of June 19, the Samsung 32-inch Odyssey G5 (G50F) QHD gaming monitor is on sale at Amazon for only $189.99, with $140 knocked off its $329.99 list price. With 42% bumped off, that brings this premium Samsung display down to its lowest price ever — confirmed with price tracker camelcamelcamel. 

For less than $200, the Odyssey G5 gives you a 32-inch QHD 2560 x 1440 screen, which is a proper step up from regular Full HD without making the jump to a much more expensive 4K panel. That should make games look sharper and fuller across the larger display, whether you’re working through massive RPGs like Kingdom Come: Deliverance II or getting ready for upcoming cinematic PS5 games like Marvel’s Wolverine.

Its fast IPS panel has a 180Hz refresh rate and 1ms GtG response time, helping fast-paced games look smoother and feel more responsive when things start moving quickly. That should be especially handy in multiplayer titles like Fortnite, Overwatch, Rocket League, and Marvel Rivals. 

Samsung has also packed in some useful display extras, including HDR10 for brighter highlights and deeper-looking shadows, plus a wide 178-degree viewing angle to help the picture hold up from different positions. AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-Sync compatibility are included as well, helping cut down on screen tearing and choppy visuals while you play. 

If you’re open to making the jump to OLED monitors, the 34-inch ASUS ROG Strix gaming monitor is also on sale. Among early Prime Day deals, the even bigger Samsung 49-inch Odyssey G9 monitor has hit its lowest-ever price.
