It might seem like there's never a good time to splash out on a robot vacuum — the best models are just way too expensive. But actually, there is a good time: right now, in fact.

Thanks to the early October Prime Day deals already live at Amazon, you can score a premium robot vacuum for far less than list price. The sale event doesn't start until Oct. 6, but already there's a 50% price cut on a seriously high-spec robot vacuum and mop combo, the Roborock Saros Z70.

As of Sept. 30, the Roborock Saros Z70 robot vacuum and mop is available for $999.98. It's usually priced at $1,999.99, so that's a massive overall saving of $1,000.01. According to the price tracker camelcamelcamel, that's the lowest-ever price for this model.

The standout feature of this robot vacuum is its five-axis OmniGrip arm, which protrudes from the vac and moves obstacles out of the way and even organizes small household items such as socks and other light debris. The arm uses cameras and precision sensors for accurate handling.

As for general cleaning, it has AI-powered SmartPlan technology that maps and navigates your home, switching between vacuum and mop modes and between carpet and hard floors. It's built with obstacle avoidance and uses AI to learn new objects. It can clean deep into corners and edges and even climbs thresholds and barriers with AdaptLift technology.

Just to take even more of the hard work off your hands, it's self-emptying, self-cleaning, and self-charging.

Get the Roborock Saros Z70 robot vacuum and mop ahead of Prime Day and save 50%. Now just $999.98 for a total saving of $1,000.01.

You had a friend over last night for movie night, and you've just discovered that they didn't log out of their Netflix account on your TV. What a shame. Now, the right move would be to log them out and get back to your own watch list. The more fun move is to tiptoe through their My List and Continue Watching rows because nothing says more about a person than the shows they're into, amirite?

Sometimes, being sedentary is just part of the job. Lengthy, highly focused desk sessions might be part of your daily work, but you don’t need to suffer through the discomfort of prolonged sitting in the right chair. The right ergonomic seating option is the office investment that goes far beyond aesthetics.

TL;DR: The iPhone 18 Pro is free when you switch and bring your number or trade in an eligible phone in any condition on an Experience Beyond plan.

The 2026 Apple Event feels like it took place a long time ago, but the dust is still settling. Apple announced a wave of new hardware and software, headlined by its first foldable iPhone. We're still digging deep into all the new features and stylistic touches that make the iPhone iconic, but we know what you really want — deals.

We know that's the priority after new models launch. With this in mind, we've lined up the best free deals this week so you can get your hands on the iPhone 18 Pro (or the iPhone 17) without actually spending anything.

These are the best free iPhone deals from T-Mobile this week:

• iPhone 17e — free when you switch to almost any T-Mobile plan with no trade-in required.

• iPhone 17 — free when you bring your number on an Experience More or Experience Beyond plan (no trade-in needed)

• iPhone 17 Pro — free when trading in an eligible phone on an Experience Beyond plan.

• iPhone 18 Pro — free when you switch and bring your number or trade in an eligible phone in any condition on an Experience Beyond plan.

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."

Of course, the iPhone 18 Pro takes things to another level. The iPhone 18 Pro features a new A20 Pro chip to better support AI features and Siri AI. This latest model also has major camera upgrades, including physical variable aperture, smart focus tracking, cinematic video effects, and improved low-light photography.

Linux has a somewhat contradictory reputation. On the one hand, it's known as a rock-solid operating system that never goes wrong and offers countless hours of uptime. On the other hand, it's also known for being easy to break in the wrong hands when you start digging around under the hood.

TL;DR: Launching on Oct. 29, the Pokémon Legends: Z-A Nintendo Switch 2 Edition and Mega Dimension bundle packs the base game, full expansion, and a 100 Ultra Ball bonus.

If you held off on picking up Pokémon Legends: Z-A or skipped its Mega Dimension expansion, Nintendo and Pokémon are bundling the entire Lumiose City saga into a single physical package. Now that's tempting.

Here is everything you need to know about what's included and where to score your copy online.

What is included in the Mega Dimension bundle?

The complete bundle delivers the full Pokémon Legends: Z-A storyline without requiring extra eShop downloads or voucher codes. Buyers will get the base game set in Lumiose City, the Mega Dimension DLC that expands the endgame story around the Mythical Pokémon Hoopa, and a serial code redeemable in-game for 100 Ultra Balls.

Where to buy and preorder online

Preorders are expected to open across major storefronts ahead of the Oct. 29 launch date.

The Pokémon Center is a direct source for physical preorders, frequently bundled with exclusive site-specific plush or pin bonuses. Amazon is another place to look, mainly because it offers a generous preorder price guarantee (so you pay the lowest price listed between the time you order and release day).

Target and Best Buy are probably your best options for day-one local store pickup or physical delivery.

Day in and day out, there's one thing keeping your Android phone ticking: the battery. You may already know that your charging habits determine the battery's long-term health, but this is not some mysterious metric. It's a thing you can actually find and track.

Anne Hathaway deserves more credit for her capabilities as a camp queen.

Yes, yes, she's popular and respected for her work in mainstream movies like The Devil Wears Prada 2 and masterful cinema like The Odyssey. But for my money, Hathaway's filmography is at its most exciting when she plunges into anti-heroine depths, playing women who aren't just messy, but menacing and even deadly.

For your consideration, remember Colossal, where she played a drunkard who manifests a kaiju over Seoul, or Serenity, an under-sung psycho-sexual thriller where she sunk her pearly white teeth into the role of femme fatale. Look to Eileen, where she played a psychologist on a twisted mission, or NEON's scuttled Mother's Instinct, where she snarled as a picture-perfect mother destroyed by the death of her child. 

Even earlier this year, Hathaway offered a diva-level performance as a haunted pop star in Mother Mary, which is not to be overlooked. But unexpectedly, it's in the very mainstream adaptation of Colleen Hoover's best-selling novel Verity that Hathaway gives her wildest performance of 2026. (Yes, even considering the dinos-on-the-loose The End of Oak Street.) 

In Verity, Hathaway plays the title character, massively popular novelist Verity Crawford, who is known for her Noble Virtues series, each told from the point of view of a bloodthirsty villain. Tailored dresses and cashmere cardigans the color of fresh blood make Hathaway's pale skin look luminescent and hard like marble. She's regal and ruthless as a villainess that is not just fun to watch, but scratching at the heights of iconic psycho-biddy stars like Shelley Winters, Bette Davis, and Joan Crawford. 

And let's consider this a good opportunity to remind you, dear reader, that Who Slew Auntie Roo? and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? are sensational selects for spooky season. But should Verity join their ranks?

Sadly, no. But Hathaway is innocent on that charge.

Screenwriter Nick Antosca (Brand New Cherry Flavor) adapts Hoover's Verity into a color-by-numbers psycho-sexual thriller. Dakota Johnson stars as Lowen Ashleigh, an impoverished writer whose books have been published but widely ignored. So, when she gets the chance to ghostwrite the final novels of Verity's best-selling book series, the steady work and fat paycheck might be tempting. However, more tempting is the potential to get closer to Verity's husband, the dashing Jeremy (Trap's Josh Hartnett). 

But there's an odd catch to this contract. Lowen must stay in Verity's remote cabin and work out of the author's personal office. Why? Well, Jeremy gently explains, Verity was in a horrid car crash that left her unable to walk or talk. A shadow of her former self, she is wheeled around her home, where her young son frolics and her husband looks forlorn. And soon, Lowen lurks about, stumbling onto a shocking memoir that says Verity has more in common with her fictional villains than anyone could imagine. 

Naturally, Lowen becomes obsessed, not only with Verity and her secrets but also with her life and family. The younger woman fantasizes not only about straddling Jeremy — while wearing a silk robe embroidered with the initials VC — but also making out with Verity herself. Between such torrid thoughts and flashbacks to the early days of the Crawfords' romance, Verity is studded with sex scenes. However, director Michael Showalter shows no passion for them.

Known for helming comedies like The Big Sick and the Hathaway-fronted The Idea of You, he seems out of his depth in creating titillating love scenes. There's a woeful lack of foreplay. Despite an R rating, Verity bears only bum and a bit of tit. And overall, these scenes are too short to satisfy, and awash with cliched close-ups of a woman's open, groaning mouth, to feel properly enthralling. Beyond the tawdry thrill of such scenes, the desire portrayed in Verity is supposed to be so intense that it drives Lowen off her professional ambitions, down a dark path of suspicion and temptation. Without properly sexy scenes, this character turn just doesn't work. But Johnson is part of the problem there.

Because Lowen meets Verity after the car crash, much of Hathaway's screentime is a performance of the author as Lowen imagines her. A heightened vision of femininity and ferocity, she is gorgeous, with a wicked wit, a terrifyingly mercurial nature, and a killer smile lined with a bold red lip.

Hathaway plays the role with clear relish, her brown eyes flashing from a hardened glare to a beguiling gaze in an instant. Her lips sliding from a smile to a snarl with an electric ferality. But best of all, she works in some quirks of speech that evoke the Transatlantic accent favored by Golden Age Hollywood stars and quirkily reimagined for comedy by Catherine O'Hara's Moira Rose on Schitt's Creek. Listen for the way Hathaway says "Boston," as if it's a four-letter word she's never deigned to say aloud before. In such moments, Hathaway is keenly hilarious, and she knows it. 

Johnson, on the other hand, comes off as bored. Yes, in the book (and the movie), Lowen describes herself as having "Resting Bored Face." But even in fantasy sequences of torrid sex, Lowen practically sleepwalks. This character is meant to be our bewildered guide into a world of mixed messages and manipulation. But in Johnson's hands, Lowen is low-key annoyed, whether her character is playing with Verity's young son, seducing her husband, or reading her scandalous writings. And Johnson has no chemistry with Hartnett or Hathaway, making the love triangle element fall flat.

There are points where I wondered if Johnson's flatness was intentional. Leaning into the trashy novel of it all, Showalter might have urged her toward stiffness to create a campy comedic disconnect which would then be bolstered by the comically bad dialogue. For instance, in an early scene where a meet-not-so-cute leaves Lowen covered in a stranger's blood, she flirts haphazardly with Jeremy, who says he's seen worse. While Lowen inexplicably fails to wash off a swath of blood from her neck, she asks if he's a doctor. And in response, Hartnett, with an outrageous deadpan, says, "I'm in real estate." It's funny! Is it supposed to be? I'm not sure. I'm even less sure that his follow-up comment ("I pulled my daughter's body out of a lake.") was meant to be funny, but it was so incredibly awkward that it got laughs!

Where Hathaway plunges deep into the sultry, salty waters of psycho-sexual thriller with her psycho-biddy eccentricity as a tool, Johnson seems rudderless. Or perhaps, 11 years after she broke through as the star of Fifty Shades of Grey, she resents being back in the place of sex-starved ingenue. Overall, her effect makes the movie feel like a chore instead of a cheap thrill.

Those who reveled over The Housemaid or A Simple Favor will likely enjoy Verity. Though Showalter's offering lacks the liveliness and transgressive edge of Paul Feig's thrillers, it's erratically entertaining. However, it's hard to ignore that Verity could have been more. We're still living in the seismic aftermath of Heated Rivalry, a Canadian mini-series that turned hockey smut into a critically heralded and fan-worshipped sensation. Show creator Jacob Tierney not only brought author Rachel Reid's characters to life with unapologetically explicit sex scenes, but also used the intimacy of these scenes to expose a hidden side to the characters, who wore masks for their public personas. 

Then, even this summer, movie audiences were gifted with Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. Inspired by a slew of slasher movies, writer/director Jane Schoenbrun explored a story similar to Verity. A young writer on assignment to revive a popular franchise finds her life dramatically changed as she becomes obsessed with an older woman, central to that franchise. While both films are rated R, only Camp Miasma doesn't hold back when it comes to sex and violence. Schoenbrun went to unhinged extremes, including decapitations that create blood geysers out of human necks. And then, her vision of satisfying sex didn't glamorize it as the zipperless fuck of author Erica Jong, but embraced the mess of fluids and emotions (and gummy candies).

Verity is nowhere near as bold as any of the movies I've mentioned here. It's sort of weird, sort of sexy, and sort of funny. But ultimately, it feels criminally constrained by mainstream prudishness. Which means that as the credits roll on Verity, I was left teased but unsatisfied, wishing for the movie on the level of Hathaway's performance. 

Verity opens in theaters on Oct. 2. 

Today, dating app Tinder launches a group chat feature called Group Hangouts in the U.S. It builds on the app's Double Date Mode to help form connections through friends and groups. With Group Hangouts, three or more people can add an IRL activity, like karaoke, and find other groups with shared interests to start chatting and matching.

"Double Date proved something we suspected all along, young singles want their friends in the mix when they're meeting someone new," Tinder's chief product officer, Mark Kantor, stated in a press release shared with Mashable. "Group Hangouts takes that even further, and we think it's going to be one of the most fun things we've ever built on Tinder."

What You Need

• Tinder app

Step 1: Start a group

One person creates a group, picks an activity, and invites at least two friends to join.

Step 2: Browse and match as a group

Once a group has at least three members, it appears in other users' main Tinder stack (how people discover each other on the app). Your group can discover other groups, Like them, and match if it's mutual.

Step 3: Take it offline

Once your group matches with another, you can chat together and make IRL plans.

Forty percent of Group Hangouts invitations were accepted in early tests in Australia. Once in a group, women were 2.2 times more likely to Like a group profile than a traditional profile. This is similar to the positive results Tinder saw when it first launched Double Date in June 2025, in which women were three times more likely to Like a pair than individual profiles.

Early tests of the Double Date feature also found that those matches exchanged 35 percent more messages than traditional one-on-one matches. And, given that 90 percent of Double Date users were under 30 during testing, it signals to Tinder that Gen Z daters are interested in dating with friends.

Groups can vary in size, but everyone must have their own Tinder account and profile. Individuals choose to join and can leave a conversation without leaving the Group. Users can also block and report other people.

Group Hangouts is the latest in a growing trend of dating apps involving other people in singles' orbits to help them find love. Hinge recently launched Friend's Take, a way for a user's loved ones to vouch for them on the app.

This goes hand in hand with an increasing desire to meet people in person rather than on one's phone. This summer, Eventbrite reported a spike in the use of the phrase "meet cute" in event listings, with hobby-based outings doubling as socializing opportunities.

Apps are trying to capitalize on that, as well. In July, Tinder expanded its Events feature to several major cities, so singles can find IRL events and match with other attendees. And former Tinder executive, Taru Kapoor, just launched a "social matching" app called Rivet.

Group Hangouts is now available in the U.S. and select markets, and will roll out to more areas soon.

The biggest tech announcement events of 2026 may have come and gone, but Samsung is making sure the news doesn't stop.

The Korean tech giant announced refreshes of two of its product lines on Wednesday morning: The Galaxy Tab S12 tablet series and the Smart Tag 3 Bluetooth tracker. Between the two new tablets and the next-generation tracker, all three products will be available this fall. Here's everything you need to know about them.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 specs and price Credit: Joseph Maldonado / Mashable

First up are the two new tablets, the Galaxy Tab S12+ and S12 Ultra. There does not seem to be a base S12 this year, and S12+ and Ultra models both seem pretty similar outside of a few key specs. These tablets both come in gray and silver colorways. The Galaxy Tab S12+ starts at $1,199, and the S12 Ultra starts at $1,399. It should be noted that the S12+ is the only model that can optionally support a 5G connection. Both are available on Oct. 7.

The S12+ has a 12.6-inch display with 1,600 nits peak brightness and a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz. Meanwhile, the S12 Ultra carries those same display specs into a larger 14.6-inch panel. Both devices have Samsung's Armor Aluminum material protection and are IP68 rated. You'll get the same MediaTek Dimensity 9500 processor in both tablets, as well.

Samsung is promising up to 23 hours of video playback and fast charging that should get you from zero to 100 percent in around 95 minutes. As usual, you'll get an S-Pen stylus in the box, as well as free trials of Photoshop, Google AI Pro, and Notability to make the most out of that stylus.

Similar to many of its other recent products, Samsung is incorporating Galaxy AI features into these tablets. Features like Now Nudge are present and accounted for, but since it's a tablet, you can also do three-way splitscreen with different apps for maximum multitasking efficiency. There's also a dedicated, programmable Galaxy AI key on the hardware itself this year, which can activate any AI assistant you choose.

Samsung Smart Tag 3 specs and price Credit: Joseph Maldonado / Mashable

Secondarily to the new tablets, Samsung also revealed Smart Tag 3, the third take on Samsung's in-house Bluetooth tracker. They come in black and white colors, and you can get one for $29.99 or four for $99.99. Smart Tag 3 is slated for launch in early November.

It's 35 percent smaller and 33 percent lighter than Smart Tag 2, per Samsung. I got to briefly get my hands on one, and even though I haven't ever used a Smart Tag 2, I can still tell you that the new ones are compact enough to fit just about anywhere you might need to put them. Samsung has enhanced the range of Compass View to up to 200 feet, making it easier to track down a lost item with your phone. You can also allegedly get up to 550 days of battery life on default settings.

Lastly, Smart Tag 3 has cross-OS support, so whether you're on Android or iOS, the product will work for you.

There are countless shows on Netflix, but only a handful are good enough to become part of your regular viewing rotation. These are the shows you can put on after a long day without worrying about finding something new and the ones that somehow remain entertaining even when you already know exactly how the story unfolds. For me, some series have become an almost yearly tradition.

Supports are a frustrating but often necessary part of 3D printing. They make it possible to print overhanging elements, but they can feel wasteful and leave behind unsightly marks. While you might be used to standard or tree-like supports, fins are another option that don’t (currently) exist within your slicer of choice.

Although Amazon has been one of the easier spots for Pokémon fans to find the Greninja ex Box since the 30th Celebration expansion launched, Walmart is once again revving up the competition, now $6 cheaper by comparison. 

As of Sept. 30, the Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Greninja ex Box is $88.89 at Walmart, after a 11% discount from its $99.99 list price. Sold and shipped by marketplace seller OPLoot, you’ll get free shipping, with the shipment set for Oct. 6 (at the time of writing).  

These boxes are non-returnable, but it’s still $6.06 cheaper than Amazon, where the same Greninja ex Box is $94.95 after a 5% discount.

That said, TCGplayer is still the best place to look. Against its current estimated market price of $59.49, listings are now as low as $64.99 with shipping included — but Walmart’s still the place to buy if you prefer shopping with a major retailer. 

The box comes with four titular Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration booster packs of trading cards, a foil Greninja ex promo card, and an oversize foil version of the same card. That gives you a guaranteed Greninja pair, along with four more chances to pull from the anniversary expansion. 

With those four packs comes more chances to pull the 30th Celebration expansion’s most valuable single cards — including the $3,500+ RGB Rare Mew, the $140+ SIR Mew ex, or the $105+ SIR Gengar ex. You can also individually buy almost any single 30th Celebration Pokémon card right now on TCGplayer. 

Samsung is refining its item tracking tag to challenge Apple's AirTag on its home turf. The company has introduced the Galaxy SmartTag 3 with support for both Galaxy phones and iPhone in addition to a few leaps in design and functionality.

Even though Microsoft ended support for the Windows Subsystem for Android, which let Windows 11 users run Android apps natively, you can still use Android apps and games on your Windows machine. Your options include emulators such as BlueStacks, the Google Play Games Windows app, which lets you play Android games on your PC, and tools such as scrcpy, which lets you display and control your Android phone or tablet from your Windows PC.

Tesla's second-generation Roadster could be the most postponed car ever. Originally announced in November 2017, and slated for a 2020 launch, the allegedly super-quick electric car has been delayed time and time again.

After many, many teasers and subsequent delays over the last two years, Tesla was finally slated to unveil the Roadster on Oct. 1. Alas, that's not going to happen.

On Monday, Tesla's official X account said the event has been rescheduled to Oct. 15.

"We've been tracking the weather closely with local meteorologists, but given the severe conditions predicted & because this event can only be held outdoors, we've made the difficult decision to reschedule.

New date is October 15. Additional details to follow," the message said.

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

Tesla CEO Elon Musk chimed in with a clarification of his own: "Due to high winds, the new Roadster demo is postponed by 2 weeks," he tweeted.

The countdown timer on Tesla's website has now changed to reflect the Oct. 15 launch.

SEE ALSO: Tesla launched Cybercab in Austin. Hours later, the feds launched an investigation.

This, of course, caused a hurricane of tweets dunking on Musk saying, essentially, that windy weather shouldn't be a problem for a car. This is a car, however, that (according to Musk) will be able to fly in certain configurations, at least over a short distance. It appears that the flying part will depend on the weather.

You may think that if you've spent money on one of the most expensive SSDs (hopefully not too recently, given the prices), you've got the fastest storage in the world. In a way, it's true. But not in every context.

I used to hate combining weekly Excel reports. Copying data from one workbook to another works well enough, but it gets tedious when you have to do it every week. Then you have to remember whether you've done it, or worry about overwriting existing data. Thankfully, Excel can connect to a folder and combine those files for you, and even though it sounds like Excel wizardry, the setup takes just four simple steps.
